"What's our current speed?" Charles asked, his eyes fixed on the sea chart in the cockpit.
"Fifteen knots, Captain," Krona reported, his eyes shining as he turned to Charles with a question.
"Captain, after this voyage, we should get a long break, right? Since you've already taken a Living Island, my goal has been met as well. I want to request leave and head back to Volcanic Island to bring my family over."
"Granted. When the Light God Sect arrives, you can go back with their ship. Once I've settled things on the surface, I'll send someone to bring you up," Charles replied.
Krona gripped the helm, looking at Charles's back as he hesitated to speak.
"If you have something to say, just spit it out. Don't beat around the bush."
"Captain, if the Land of Light really exists, you aren't planning on staying with us on Hope Island, are you?"
Charles cast him a glance but said nothing, continuing to examine the sea chart on the wall.
