The area around the Nav is still trapped, but it won't kill you anymore.

[private to Marvelous]

I am collecting this black coral. If you're not headed to this fortress, I will go alone.

What kind of treasure was that? [Why do so many things in Marvelous's world seem to talk?] I thought you were talking about gold or something.

[Speaking of collecting things, though.] Gathering this coral would go faster if we could rig nets.

[gokai_red]

The "Greatest treasure in the universe." Or so it was called. Sometimes, things aren't all they're cracked up to be.

[Ah good, topic change, he didn't want to talk about that damned thing.] Can't argue with that. We'll get that together.

[thethundersaid]

[Most things haven't been what they're cracked up to be, from teamwork to friendship to power to vengeance, but Sasuke has to reserve his judgment on whether a treasure that talked could ever be a 'greatest' treasure.]

... have you ever made a net before? [He casts a look over the ship, then over its side. They could trail something behind them, right?]

[gokai_red]

Not much use for that in space.

Only one way to fix that, eh?

[That said, he was already taking off his jacket, and rolling up his sleeves. Sasuke may or may not yet realize this, but this show of enthusiasm for manual labor is quite the unusual sight.]

[thethundersaid]

[That's ... probably true. There's not much use for them for a ninja, either, unless somewhere out in Mist there are shinobi with techniques based on fishing equipment (maybe there are; there's something to ask Suigetsu if he ever sees him again).

Marvelous's eagerness to start is a good sign, even if neither of them have experience. Still ...]

There's plenty of rope on board. The coral I've been finding has been around -- [He holds his hands apart, estimating the average.] -- this big in size.

I assume we just ... make knots.

[gokai_red]

[He grins, and claps his hands together.]

Then let's get too it. Worst that can happen is that it doesn't work.
