Third Person POV
New Word.

The celebration continued for a while as people rejoiced on all sides.
"We won then! We freed Wano, brother!" Lucy, hearing the celebrations, said while still being treated by Lami, flashing a smile at Luffy with his group gathered around.
"Yes, Lucy... we showed our strength and secured our position on the seas. No one can doubt anymore that we have become the most powerful pirates in the world at this moment." Luffy said that naturally—no one could challenge them now, having just emerged from a war against two Yonko groups and fighting against three beings of the same level.
Yamato defeated Big Mom, Lucy defeated Kaido, and Luffy defeated Bullet. That last fight had been unexpected, and Luffy hadn't even wanted to kill him, but he had no choice.
He still had some plans, besides truly wanting to fight that legendary figure, and that left him quite satisfied. That's why he challenged him in Impel Down and wanted to fight him a year later in the New World when he invaded the prison in search of his sister.
"Finally..." Yamato stood in a corner, her eyes opening as a smile appeared on her face. She had finally achieved her dream and goal of freeing Wano. She had nurtured that goal since childhood, ever since reading Oden's journal, assuming a version of Oden within herself. Even though it was a bit immature of her to claim to be Oden, she still had the burning desire to make Wano shine and open its borders—and now, everything was leading to that.
She stood admiring the landscape from afar, observing the darkness around while Luffy's flames still burned in the region of Ringo, illuminating all of Wano up to Onigashima as marks of the battle between Luffy and Bullet.
"So, should we wait for the next fight to begin, Demon?" Enel said to Luffy, as everyone started gathering around them.
Luffy turned to him with a small smile. "Well, let's wait for now. After all, a new challenge is approaching. We haven't lost any of our main members, but even so, many were injured, and we lost a few thousand soldiers, even though we achieved a crushing victory against our enemies." Luffy responded, bringing a finger to his chin in a thoughtful gesture.
"Reiju, I want you to heal as many as you can with your flames. Lami, transfer everyone here along with Chopper so he can begin the treatment." Luffy ordered, while Lami teleported Reiju to the devastated battlefields, and those she couldn't save would be transferred to the roof of Onigashima.
"I also want you to bring all the defeated pirates who aren't dead and bring them here. I need Cavendish to restrain them all, and I need the user of the Storage Storage no Mi." Luffy said as Lami finished treating Lucy, using her powers to teleport all the defeated pirates except for a few.
Quickly, the place filled with bodies in a separate area from the allies.
"Hm?" Cavendish was surprised to be there.
"Put these seastone cuffs on all the Devil Fruit users, and regular cuffs on those who aren't, but reinforce them with stronger restraints for the major Devil Fruit users." Luffy instructed, pulling a bundle of small objects from his pocket and tossing them, instantly transforming them into an entire mountain of all kinds of cuffs.
"..." Cavendish just nodded, and the next moment, his appearance began to change, a grin spreading across his face, causing some around him to react with slight grimaces. Not that they hadn't seen this before, but it was always a bit bizarre for those watching.
In the next moment, he started running rapidly among the restrained and unconscious bodies, beginning to wrap them in all sorts of chains and cuffs.
"Lord Luffy... do you want me to store everything?" asked a member of Bartolomeo's crew who had the Storage Fruit.
"That's right. Everyone being cuffed should be placed in a separate space until I say otherwise. I'm sure you have room for all of them, right?" Luffy asked while the transformed Cavendish was already securing thousands of them in a short time, though it would still take a while to finish.
"Yes, Lord Luffy." He said, nodding and beginning to do exactly that.
They continued as more and more people started emerging from the hole in the ceiling created by Lucy while fighting Kaido, and her main crew members also joined them.
"We're done here... Luffy. But we have to deal with them..." Usopp said, placing a massive magnifying glass over his eye, looking more than 10 kilometers away.
"I'll take care of the wounded!" Chopper shouted, running towards those Reiju couldn't heal with the phoenix flames, quickly beginning to wrap them in bandages.
"Yes. Well, does anyone want some loot while we're at it?" Luffy asked, pulling out some barrels from his personal stash.
"Of course, Captain!" Zoro immediately stepped forward.
"Hey, you're already drinking?" Kuina approached them at that moment as well.
"You say that as if you're actually surprised by it." Uta commented, walking towards them with a smile, while her two tails swayed behind her.
"Luffy-sama!" At that moment, Bartolomeo came running toward Luffy, tears of pride streaming down his face.
But before he could get close, Hancock kicked him away. "What do you think you're doing?!" she said angrily, before sitting beside Luffy and instantly transforming into a love-struck woman.
"Luffy, let me serve you!" she said excitedly.
"Sure." Luffy replied, as Hancock's eyes turned into two hearts.
"They seem pretty relaxed, even with a force as great as the government's waiting for us outside Wano." Nojiko said, approaching her sister and laughing a little at the scene unfolding in front of them.
Usopp joined them as well, and Hugo approached shortly after Jinbei.
"Looks like we have some time..." Jinbei said.
"Luffy, do you have any cola?" Franky walked up with heavy steps due to his body.
"Woof woof!" Chouchou appeared at that moment, barking at them.
"Nee... I think I'll prepare some takoyaki for everyone." Hachi said, appearing as well.
"Hey, Bepo. Bring the ship over here." Luffy requested as the bear had just arrived too.
But before Bepo could respond—since the ship was docked at the entrance of the island where the first battles took place—Lami made her move, causing Black Pearl to appear near them as the ground trembled from the impact.
"Now we have food to make something." Luffy said, while Hachi nodded and headed toward the ship to start preparing things.
"I think I can help too..." Reiju came from the side of Onigashima, flying quickly through the sky as she headed toward the ship's kitchen, having already taken care of the wounded that could still be saved with her flames.
"Yohohohoho! Does anyone have milk for me?!" Brook appeared as well, laughing.
"Here." Luffy pulled out a fresh supply from his pocket and tossed it to him.
"More drinks, my love?" Hancock sat beside Luffy as she asked, offering a bottle of expensive alcohol made from Whisky Peak.
"Sure." He said calmly.
"Wait a minute... Aren't you going to say anything else about Nika?!" Bonney approached Luffy, pointing her finger at him, demanding more explanations.
"Food..." Lucy murmured from the ground, as her stomach started growling—clearly, she didn't care much about Bonney's questions. All she wanted now was to eat.
"..." Bonney heard that and clenched her teeth, wanting to know more. Seeing Luffy not even paying attention to her frustrated her even more. "Hey, tell me!" she demanded.
"Just relax, we have some time to eat before we go back to fighting. Why are you in such a hurry? If you want to use your future-distorting powers, just transform into whatever you saw when you watched Lucy fight." Luffy shrugged.
"Food is ready!" Reiju stepped out of the ship with a gigantic platter of food while Hachi was just finishing grilling his takoyakis.
"But..." Bonney tried to speak, but someone jumped behind her.
"Food!!" Lucy instantly sprang up from the ground, rushing toward Reiju's enormous platter, leaving Bonney completely lost.
"Looks like things ended up this way..." Vivi couldn't help but murmur as she watched the scene in front of her.
"They certainly will always be like this..." Robin also arrived, laughing with a hand over her mouth as she watched the feast unfold right on the same battlefield where they had fought. While they were eating and drinking, more and more crew members started arriving.
Alvida jumped into Luffy's arms, almost making him spill his drink. "My husband," she said in a sweet tone, while Hancock, sitting beside him, looked furious—her eyes turning white and steam puffing out of her nose like an enraged bull.
"My husband! I defeated my sister for you!" Lola also appeared at that moment, clinging to Luffy's back.
"My husband!" Shirahoshi also flew toward Luffy, pressing his head against her chest.
As Hancock seemed to grow increasingly jealous of the situation, Luffy found himself unable to continue drinking as women clung to him from all possible angles. Baby-5, Rebecca, Perona, Monet, and Domino also approached, walking closer and observing as the group surrounded him.
"What is this... already drinking like this..." Perona complained, floating above Luffy.
"Master, do you want me to serve you?" Baby-5 asked.
"No, I am serving him," Hancock protested and demanded, as both she and Baby-5 seemed to shoot lightning bolts at each other with their eyes.
"Hmmmmm...." Luffy mumbled, his voice muffled as no one could understand him—his face still pressed against Shirahoshi's chest.
"Brother, try this!" Lucy appeared with a piece of meat.
"Hmmmm!" Luffy responded.
"Are you sure? It'll be gone soon!" Lucy seemed to understand her brother perfectly.
"I think I'll drink too! Hahahaha!" Yamato also wanted to celebrate their victory, sitting down where the drinks were being served.
"Looks like things turned out this way." Nami murmured.
"Let's go join them too." Nojiko pulled her sister along as they sat down, with Reiju placing the enormous platter in the center of the group, right beside Luffy's alcohol stash.
Hachi also started handing out his takoyakis to everyone.
"I think this calls for some good music, like a victory celebration!" Brook suggested, pulling his guitar from a portal to the underworld.
"We're done here..." Cavendish returned to normal as he walked over to Luffy.
The captain of the Straw Hats finally managed to free himself from the mermaid's embrace, looking around with a smile as he saw the user of the Storage Storage no Mi placing the last captives in the separate space.
"Great, now join us!" Luffy ordered.
The sound of the guitar began with Brook, while Uta joined in to sing.
In an instant, the moment after the war turned into a massive banquet. Even though the entire battlefield was in ruins, the Straw Hats looked as cheerful as ever, all gathered together after the battle.
Meanwhile, their enemies were still recovering from the destruction left behind by the fights. They had no idea that the targets they expected to find weakened were, in reality, laughing and celebrating just as they always did—just like they had throughout most of their journey, whenever it was time for a feast.
