Snake was speechless when Willow took his hand, he could only reply with a shy smile, it's the first time he was touched by a girl of such beauty. Brinley's voice took him back to the matter at hand, "Not too far, just hard" replied Snake. The docks where the boats and ships hang around isn't too far from the village, but the problem is actually finding one, and one that will accept slaves and ex-slavers no less.

Down by the docks, Captain Masamune was busy examining his maps on board his ship. It was a mighty vessel with numerous cannons on both sides and a figurehead of a dragon in front along with a battering ram. The ship flew no flag and was only equipped with huge red sails. Captain Masamune is a man no different from his ship. Tall and well-built, he is armored in red from head to toe, and armed with a katana on one side and a dagger on the other. Seated at the helm of his ship, he sighed and took off his helmet and rested it on his table. "These treasure maps are proving to be harder to read than I thought."
