[He sounds tired. Frustrated. Really kind of pissed off. His voice sounds a bit more clipped than usual, and while no less blunt, a lot more dry.]

Alright, so.

This week.

It's kind of been a shitty week.

I only had one crew member lose it, and it was probably one of the worst ones to do so.

[He pauses a bit, and notes to himself - that actually might have been the case with a LOT of the members of his crew. He didn't want to see what a crazed, homicidal Tojiko or older Link would do. Or Sasuke. Or... ugh, time to stop that train of thought right there.]

We've... [Hn.] Well, our ship's in one piece. We're nearing Empieza. We're stocking up.

Then we're moving out.

I know I've been talking to at least one of you guys about coordinating things. At first, I was thinking we'd have to track this Witch down, but... hey. Got something else to hunt, now.

The most we need to do is not be tripping over each other. Cover different parts of the ocean. And do it as fast as possible. And after that comes the real deal, dealing with the Witch.

If you're a Captain, or if you're in charge of your ship now 'cause your Captain's lost their mind... I wanna talk to you. Won't change whatever we're gonna do even if no one's in with us, but... Hey. It's there.

Meanwhile, if you need a ship to hold up on while all this is going down, or are new and need someplace the go... the Murderess has a bit of room. We'll take the help where we can get it.

Well, dead is dead.

But a little showmanship goes a long way, and she might deserve that personal touch.

If you require my personal touch, you'll need to stock up on explosives.

Well, we are heading into town.

I'll put it on the shopping list.

I'll be sure to pick up a few things as well. Is there anything you think I'll need?

[Serving on a pirate ship isn't exactly something he's ever had to do and while he's confident he can plan for most of the scenarios that may arise, it can't hurt to ask someone better versed in the subject.]

Besides more explosives.

Just, get anything essential you think you're gonna need. Once we head out, we're gonna be out there for a bit this time, it looks like.

Understood.

[He's...probably just going to buy ammo and explosives. And maybe see if they have post-it notes at the Backwater Brig.]

And just sort of... ignore where we have Itachi stashed.

We've got it handled, but Sasuke's not going to appreciate anyone messing with his brother right now.

[If Itachi is one of the possessed, then he's not particularly pleased with the order, but it's an order nonetheless.]

Understood. I'll await your arrival at Isla Empieza, Captain.

[It's his habit to address people by their full name, but...Marvelous.]

Probably for the best.

Sasuke booby trapped the Nav.

A wise precaution. The other ships should look into that as well.

[He'll forgive Sasuke momentarily.]

Actually not too bad an idea, yeah. Anyone could come wandering on board. [Hell, that's how Sasuke got there in the first place.]

Or attempt to exit, which would be my concern. If the possessed were to organize instead of focusing on their own crews, the threat would increase significantly.

It's already been our concern a couple of times. That, and only being able to use the damned thing like once a week or so.

That would leave you effectively trapped. I'm surprised it hasn't been tried yet. It would indicate a lack of organization on the part of our opponent that we should be able to use to our advantage when the time comes for a direct assault.

Yeah, I think even after this particular mess is over, the traps are staying.
