Okay, so here's the thing.

As that Hornblower guy pointed out, every month people arrive at the same time. No reason to think it's gonna be any different now.

Everyone always appears at the same place.

Right now? Anyone who comes in is going to be wading face first into a firing squad.

I don't like it.

If I see something I don't like, I wreck it.

So, I'm going to do something about it.

If enough of you DON'T want to, I'll find some other way of getting on that island and getting people off that's not going to put this ship in the crossfire. If you all DO want to kick around some of these assholes though, then we need to figure out how we do it without getting sunk ourselves.

I might be Captain, but I'm new to this ship. I'm not expecting you to stick your necks out for me, or anyone else, yet.

But we've got a long road ahead, and we won't get very far on it if we spend all of it hiding. Plus, if any potential help we could get gets constantly stuck on an island crawling with those bastards, that's going to put us in a bind eventually anyway.

Whether you want to be or not, we're labeled as pirates. I say we give 'em reason to worry about that label.

That is something I consider myself reasonably capable of.

Hey, if you're half as damaging to everything around you as the other guy, we should be good.

By "that other guy," should I assume you mean my brother?

Yeah. Unless I'm over-estimating and his skill at wide scale desolation is something just he's particular good at.

Most well-trained ninja can cause wide-scale destruction if left unchecked, but it is highly frowned upon.

Dunno if I'd do a whole lot of frowning, here.

The situation is different.

Is it now?

I suppose I should make myself more clear. I spoke of casual, unnecessary destruction. In war time it's to be expected. And here, when it may become necessary, there would also be less reason to worry about it.

Yeah, don't get me wrong. Not looking for wanton, unnecessary violence.

Unless it's somehow directed just at the Navy, as opposed to the town.

Or their ships.

Definitely their ships.

Have you fought the navy here before?

Not this one, no.

Aside from their projectile weapons, I know very little of their capabilities.

Can't say much different, myself.

And they're called "guns." You'll probably be seeing a lot of 'em out here.

Noted.

Ninja don't have much use for that sort of weapon in my world.

Heh.

Doesn't look like you'll find a lack of 'em, here.

It did seem to be carried by many of them, yes.

Wouldn't hurt for you to familiarize yourself with how they work, though. Even if you're not gonna be using them.

I agree. You should always know your opponent's capabilities.

If you need to, at least, we've got a few weapons on board. At least between Luka and me.

At least getting a good feel for what they can do couldn't hurt, I'd think.

I am capable with various weapons, but I will be sure to do that.

[It can never hurt to see what else they have - especially since he doesn't like the idea of continuing to fight with the sword he used before.]

Hey, there's always room for learning new ways to kick someone's ass.

[Well, he wouldn't quite put it that way, but...]

So there is. [And the captain gets the smallest of smiles.]
