Each finger has a name and its own uses.
For the new generation of fishermen, they have simple codes since they can't speak underwater.
One finger means attack until there is nothing to kill. Two means defend until you die. Three means to be passive-aggressive to stall for time.

The Giant Milkfish swam to a safe distance before turning back and slowly creeping towards them. However, it was twice as fast as before since it was already angry.

Andok already passed out and it was their duty to bring him back to the town alive.
