For another hour or so more, Luffy continued on in the very same fashion, exuding an astonishing amount of energy and stamina, in that he never once stopped to rest or take a breather. Happy as ever, smiling, laughing, Luffy joined hands with the dozens of other party-goers and began to dance about in a circle, while the pulse of the rhythm seemed to electrify anyone and everyone around with a spring in their step.

Some of the dancers tired out, and retreated to the sidelines to sit and rest. Others from the seats hopped up and filled their places. The cycle was constant, and heartwarming. At one point, many of those drawn in by Luffy's boundless spirit gathered him into the center of the circle, dancing and cheering the young man in the straw hat on as he displayed his very 'unique' style of dancing (that is, having absolutely no style whatsoever). Still, there was no way not to love him, for all his bubbly spirit.

Finally, the current musical set ended, finishing with a lion's roar of applause. As the crowd lightly dispursed, some sparking new conversations and others finding their way to the seats, Luffy was free to go his own way as well, and did so, heading straight towards where both his nose and his stomach urged him to go: the food tent!
