He took off once everyone was back on board, dropping Tsubasa off with Valeria at Oboh before taking off. He let Alderich choose to portal back or ride with him towards New Ramona.

He nods, moving to climb back on board the ship before bringing it to dock on the island so it's easy to get on.

He turned to Matthiue, smiling.

"Of course.. need a ride back to the mainland?"

He smirked to her.

"Oh, I will.... just you wait, lass.."

He smiled to him.

"Heheh.. I had quite a goal for me to beat, so I'm glad it went well."

He chuckled, moving to jump over the side of the airship to land beside the king.

He chuckled, moving to wrap an arm around her.

"Aren't you any different, my dear?"

"Would have been nice if that was told to me beforehand!" He said, pulling everyone else onto the ship by their ropes. (Thought I mentioned that before. Oops)

"Full fire, crew! Leave /NOTHING/ standing!!"

He frowned, looking to Matthiue before shaking his head.

"We can't let hell loose if he's on the island!!" He said with a frown.

"I know! I'm going to have to slow down so we don't over shoot the island!" He yelled, beginning to try and slow down the ship carefully.

"Obsessed seems more the right word!"

"It would make sense, if what father told me is true! She was in love with the girl! And even stronger than her as well!"

"Ahahhah! and here I thought she'd swim! Well, let's go crew! Full speed! Don't stop firing at her either, but start moving the canons to where they should have been!"

He laughed out as they fired, looking to the beast with a wild grin.

"Aye, it be our time to shine! We'll be known across this land, crew!! Don't stop firing at that thing!!" He said, going to the wheel. He then turned to the earpiece.

"Might want to grab the ropes down there if you're coming with

He would nod, before turning to his crew.

"Fire away! I want that den to be dust by the time we stop firing!!!"

He stood at the railing, waiting for the signal. He had all canons moved to one side to destroy this den..

"I'm sure a decent number of the crew here would agree with you.. luckily I paid for soundproofing the captain's cabin on this ship.."

"Oh, you think so?" He asked, smirking to her.

He looked to her, smirking.

"Many a lass would agree with you, Janessa.." he chuckled confidently.

"Floating islands, you say?" he asked, smiling to her.

"Surely, if there are, no one inhabits them now.."

"I would argue they certainly help still.. there's a reason why many still have them.."

"After my previous journey? I'd say so.. winds are close anyways."

He smiled, going to begin steering the ship, humming as he had been doing it for a little while now.

He smirked, nodding to her.

"Then let's set off!" He said, motioning the crew to get started as he walked to his own station.

"MORE snug?! Seven hells woman.." He said with a smirk.

"hell of some motivation.."

His eyes widened as he turned to her, a small gulp..

"What happened to not stealing my thunder?!" He asked with a wide grin.

He would nod, letting her go off to change

He chuckled, nodding.

"Ah, guess I won't be getting that title this trip, eh? When I have the pirate queen to show me up.." He said with a smirk

He smiled down to her as the crew stepped aboard.

"You seem to want to join me on this one.."

He's finally landing back in Alessia.. Though, not for long. He has texted @skyboundbard.bsky.social (his crew) to come meet him at the drydocks.

"Yeah, you did-"
