Apparently, walking on to a ship and pulling its captain aboard was all that was needed to be welcomed aboard. Dirk wondered if this would turn out to be a good idea at the end of the day... looking at the other ships in port, it seemed like the one he stood upon was somewhat damaged by comparison. Was there a better word for that? He wasn't sure; he ought to look that up at some point. He of course knew he had a very valuable method of fixing that state of affairs... but how willing was he to show off his Devil Fruit? For the time being, he figured he should probably wait to gauge his new allies' attitude towards them, or at least until they were out at sea and nobody else was in sight. They might decide to steal and eat it themselves, after all. Or sell it and keep the money to themselves. And that wouldn't do.

It stood to reason, however, that for right now, this boat was his only choice. Even if any other pirate crews were around, they probably wouldn't let a random person aboard for no reason (frankly, he wasn't certain why he'd been allowed into this crew). And evidently, he had to stay away from the World Government and the Marines for the time being. The very last thing he wanted was to get himself captured all over again, and word of his actions prior to his escape surely wouldn't stay under wraps for long. So, this crew it was, complete with red-hooded captain. He wondered if they had a fancy name to go by.
