The storm was raging all around you, lightning coursing through the sky and booming loudly. The waves could reach a height that was far much taller than the Sunny. A warm welcome from the New World, as they would say. Luffy couldn't stand still as he held himself tightly at the head of the ship, laughing in delight at all the action going around him.



"Are you kidding me? A sea of fire now?" you deadpanned at the sight of an island surrounded by a fire.


"Look! A volcanic eruption!" cried out Luffy at the front. "Let's drop anchor at that island!"


"EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?!"


"Wait, Luffy! None of the Log Pose's needles point to that island!" said Nami.

"Idiot, that's an emergency signal" spoke Sanji. "Someone's calling for help"


"So, if I pick up the phone, we can communicate with them?"


"Wait, Luffy! Less than fifty percent of emergency signals are real!" warned Robin. "The Marine uses this kind of trap all the time, so that's probably what this is! If you pick it up and they've got the line bugged, then they'll know we're in the area!"
