[He doesn't say it lightly. It comes only after a few moments' pause following her instructions. He has a fairly keen eye for chaotic influences, and he would like to think he can tell which are beneficial and which aren't. The Hitachiin brothers, for instance, can be just that, but they're also worth every trouble they give him.

I'm afraid we will have to focus also on either working as merchants or on the treasure hunting that those who might follow the pirates will pursue as well. We do not have to resort to their ways, certainly not, and we could combat them where we find them.
But it is a dangerous enterprise that we [a team, now -- president and vice-president, captain and first mate, however one chose to see it] will be asking of them. The incentives must match the risk.
There will be some who do it out of the goodness of their heart, but I fear without monetary value placed on their efforts, they might become discouraged when it becomes difficult.
