"How fast are we going now?" Charles asked, standing in the cockpit and staring at the sea chart.
"15 knots, Captain," Krona reported, his eyes shining as he questioned Charles.
"Captain, once this voyage is finished, we should have a long rest period, right? Since you've already taken over a Living Island, my goal has been achieved too. I'd like to take leave and go back to the Volcanic Island to bring my family over."
"That's fine. After the Light God Sect arrives, you can take their ship back. Once I've settled things up there, I'll send someone to pick you up," Charles agreed.
Krona gripped the ship's wheel in his hands, looking at Charles' retreating back and hesitated to speak.
"If you've got something to say, spit it out. Don't beat around the bush."
"Captain, if there really is a Land of Light, you wouldn't stay with us on Hope Island, would you?"
Charles gave him a glance but said nothing, continuing to look at the sea chart on the wall.
