Semaphore, a traditional communication method used in navigation.
Luffy, of course, couldn't understand it. If it were the semaphore used in the past, he would be very familiar with it.
However, even though he couldn't understand it, he could probably grasp some meaning.
Humans are a species that can communicate to some extent through gestures and movements.
"It seems like a distress signal?" Kaya murmured.
"Yeah. I'll go check it out."
Luffy nodded and immediately had a thought.
In an instant, starting from his legs, his clothes quickly turned silver.
At the same time, his hair ignited like flames.
Two flame clouds passed through his armpits.
Sun God, Nika form!
Beside him, Kaya covered her mouth and exclaimed, " Luffy San, this is...!"
Transformation?!
Luffy leaped into the air, swiftly soaring.
He walked on air, and with each step, a white flame-like substance appeared beneath his feet.
(note:The abilities of the Sun God were very complex.
This ability to walk in the air was similar to Kaido's creation of flame clouds for flight.)
On the other side.
On a small boat, a man with the character "Sea" tattooed on his right cheek continuously waved a flag in his hands.
He saw the Marine warship and wanted to attract attention.
However, when a person covered in silver descended from the sky, he was still shocked and opened his mouth wide.
"Who... who are you?" while looking up he said dumbfoundedly.
"Monkey D. Luffy."
Luffy put his hands in his pockets and casually walked over.
He curiously looked down.
There was another person lying on the small boat, with a pale face and a tattoo of the character "Big catch" on his left cheek.
Together, these two formed " Sea Big Catch."
He recognized these two.
They seemed to be called Yosaku and Johnny, bounty hunters, and also Zoro's subordinates.
"Are you a god?"
At this moment, Johnny murmured, "Oh god, can you save my companion!"
He dropped the flag in his hand and made a praying gesture.
Straw Hat Luffy, the Sun God, indeed had the character "god."
He immediately smiled and said, "I know you, are you Johnny?"
"Huh?! Do you know me?" Johnny was frightened.
"Zoro's subordinate, right? Zoro is now my subordinate, so you guys are also my 'subordinates' . I'll help you out."
Luffy seemed to descend from the steps like a God, and after coming onto the ship, grabbed Johnny and Joseph.
Then, he leaped off the ground.
Boom!
Under the reaction force, the small boat shattered into countless pieces, while Luffy, carrying the two, drew a beautiful silver trajectory in the air and finally landed on the warship.
"Zoro... I brought your subordinates."
While shouting, he threw the two onto the deck.
"Luffy? What's with that appearance?"
Zoro was sleeping against the mast of the warship. He opened his eyes upon hearing the voice and was shocked by Luffy's appearance.
He stood up and then noticed Yosaku and Johnny.
"It's you two."
"Zoro sama!" Johnny exclaimed in joy. "Great, big brother, please save Joseph, he's in bad shape."
Luffy released his Nika form and said, "It doesn't seem like an injury, probably scurvy."
"Scurvy?"
Zoro and Johnny clearly didn't know.
This thing has killed at least a million sailors in the Great Age of Pirates.
In simple terms, it's a lack of vitamin C.
Just eat more citrus fruits.
"You, come here." Luffy shouted at the marine.
"Luffy-sama, what are your orders?"
"This person has a blood disease, go get some citrus fruits, oranges, or something similar."
The marine glanced at Yosaku and immediately nodded, "Yes, right away!"
Soon, after feeding him some citrus juice, Yosaku's complexion improved significantly.
The marine said, "His symptoms seem to be getting better, he should wake up soon."
Johnny immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's great, he's alive!"
"Now that everything is fine, you guys can chat."
Luffy turned around and headed back to the Sunny.
Johnny stared in astonishment as Luffy's arm stretched out and he flew away with a swoosh.
"Zoro Sama, what exactly is he..."
"He's our captain now, with Devil Fruit power, there's nothing to be surprised about."
Zoro grinned, completely forgetting his own shock when he first saw it.
"He's actually human, I thought I saw a god... Luffy Sama was just walking in the air!"
Johnny couldn't help but say, "By the way, Zoro Sama, aren't you a bounty hunter anymore?"
Zoro shook his head and said, "I have joined the Straw Hat Pirates now, I am the captain of the Straw Hat Pirate's First Team, I am a pirate now"
A pirate?!
Johnny suddenly looked up at the sails of the warship.
The sails were indeed marked with the Marine's Peace Dove logo.
And just now, Luffy ordered the Marines to save people...
"What on earth is going on?"
Johnny's brain overloaded and he fainted.
...
Yosaku regained his vitality that same evening.
After learning that Zoro had joined the Straw Hat Pirates and became the captain of the First Team, they asked Luffy to join Zoro's command as a way to repay their debt of gratitude for saving their lives.
Luffy didn't mind this situation, as they were already Zoro's subordinate, so joining Zoro's First Team was fine.
[Crew member Johnny joins, average crew, receives 5 adventure coins]
[Crew member Yosaku joins, average crew, receives 5 adventure coins]
The only thing that made him complain was that these two were at the same level as Koby, all weaklings.
He could only let Zoro teach them.
Time flew by, and a week passed in the blink of an eye.
The fleet finally entered the target sea area, and Cocoyasi Village was within reach.
At this moment, in the warship's conference room.
Luffy sat in the main seat, and the people participating in the combat meeting included Nami, Usopp, Zoro, Johnny, Yosaku, and Marine Captain.
His gaze swept over everyone, and then Luffy remembered to ask:
"By the way, what's your name?"
The captain who was asked burst into tears, Luffy-sama finally remembered.
"I am called Di Luma, belonging to the East Blue 153rd Branch, Marine Captain!"
"Got it, Captain."
Luffy nodded, pointed to a coordinate on the map, and said:
"According to Nami's information, we will be able to see the Arlong Pirates' stronghold in half an hour."
"You should all know that it is a pirate crew composed entirely of fishmen."
"With our firepower, it's easy to wipe them out, but it's difficult to completely annihilate them without leaving anyone behind."
Upon hearing this, Di Luma felt that he needed to make an appropriate contribution and immediately said, "Because fishmen can dive..."
"That's right, if a few of them escape, it could have a negative impact."
Luffy nodded, turned to Nami beside him, and asked, "Nami, what kind of outcome do you want?"
As the victim, she had the most say.
Seeing everyone's gaze focused on her, Nami took a deep breath and said, "Please drive them away! I'm counting on all of you!"
"You're too kind."
Luffy's face was speechless, changing from his usual gentleness to a cold and ruthless tone:
"Don't leave anyone, kill them all!"

(Note: When Luffy fought Kaido, there was a scene where he was knocked off an island and then ran back in the air. I made some changes to the original. After all, the original running scene was too cartoonish and too silly, not suitable for the protagonist's character. Please forgive me, esteemed readers.)
