I'm obviously referencing Queen trying to shoot a laser beam at Tama on a recent anime episode.
But Luffy didn't just punch harder (like he did with Croc, Enel, Lucci, etc etc.) He went through a training arc, learned two different types of advanced haki, awakened his fruit and needed help from 15 other characters and a volcanic eruption.
Imagine soiling your enjoyment of One Piece just because you lost the next nakama discussion.
