On their way back to the ship, Pedro took the time to talk to Paul.
"Paul, I want to talk to you about the arrangement of the fleet."
"Arrangement?" Paul asked in a confused tone, "I'm totally fine with you being the Captain, Senior."
Pedro smiled in response and said, "That's good to hear from you. But... What I wanted to talk about is the assignment of tasks. Remember that there should be, at least, one of the highest-ranking officers to remain on board the Head Ship Karakoa?"
"Yeah."
"As of now, there's only the two of us." He said, "I know that this would be a selfish request but... I would like you to be the one in charge of the ships. I mean... You are definitely more knowledgable than me in terms of control and navigation of the ships."
Paul Solares laughed in response and said, "You think too highly of me, Senior. But if you say so, then it would be my honor."
Pedro laughed in response and said, "Great! Great! Now, I am at ease that the ships are in good hands."
Heads up. Next chapter release would be delayed a bit, I have some matters to attend tomorrow morning. At the same time, I am trying to cope up with the information on the story, like Pedro's skills, other characters' names, and such.
Just a bit of hint, this is the start of a new 'sub-arc' as what I call it. And it was the supposed sub-arc after the fleet returns to Aquari Continent (After their tragic encounter with Faunia).
I remember last year that I was hyped by this sub-arc because it is where 'players' would start to appear! Well... It's the same until now. :D
Lastly, I am trying to establish a new discord server for us to get along with. I also plan to post updates there from time to time, so stay tuned if you're interested in that.
Anyways... Enjoy reading and thanks for your support!
