Monkey D. Luffy's Point of View

Somewhere in the sea, East Blue.

...

...

"Relax, just make sure we don't deviate from the route. Meanwhile, I'll check some things here. Don't bother me for a while," Luffy said as he settled on the other side of the boat, muttering to himself.

While the boat sailed through the sea at a speed thirty times faster than before, Luffy decided to take a rest. He opened his system and started examining it.

-----SYSTEM-----

[Crew] (Locked)

[Shop]

[Inventory Cards]

----------------
"It's a rather simple system. There's the crew screen, but it's locked because I don't have anyone under my flag yet. There's a shop where I can buy anything from this world with some conditions. The currency is in berries and gold, but I'll need a lot more for it to be useful. I only have 2 million that I got from the commercial ship, which is practically worthless right now. And lastly, the inventory of cards with four cards. This option will disappear once I consume them all." Luffy went through the entire system. He wanted to check the shop, but it would be a waste of time at the moment. He decided to look into it later.

Luffy glanced at Koby after he closed the system screen.

"Well, talking to this kid is quite boring. Despite his potential, he's so timid right now... I guess I'll take a nap to pass the time!" Luffy reasoned and spoke to Koby.

"Koby," Luffy called him, making the boy quickly look at him.

"Yes!" He replied nervously, and Luffy sighed.

"Keep guiding us to the island. In the meantime, I'll take a short nap." Luffy said to the boy, who was relieved by the brief interaction.

Hours passed, and Koby finally spotted the city with a large naval base at its highest point.

"Should I wake up Mr. Luffy now or when we reach the port?" Koby mumbled as he looked at the view of the island.

"No need to, Koby, Hahaha!" Luffy suddenly appeared behind Koby, laughing happily after a short nap. He put his straw hat back on his head and looked at the island, lost in thought.

Koby was startled by Luffy's sudden awakening.

"Mr. Luffy?" Koby couldn't help but be surprised by the abrupt change and was curious about the man's actions, thinking that he might be planning something at this moment.

"Koby, I'm going ahead. We'll meet later!" Luffy declared.

Before Koby could respond, Luffy's appearance began to change. His hair suddenly started growing, and incredible black wings sprouted from his back, leaving Koby in shock.

"What is this?!" Koby couldn't help but shout.

"Hm? I'm a Devil Fruit user, didn't you know?" Luffy said with a strange expression.

"I thought those things were just legends of the seas!" Koby exclaimed but quickly covered his mouth with his hands, fearing that his loud outbursts would anger the man before him.

"Hehehehe. Now you see that it's real. If you ever want to defeat me someday, be aware that it won't be easy!" Luffy simply declared with a big smile. He then flexed his knees as his wings slowly lifted to gain altitude.
