Just like that, the crew was surrounded by clear skies and deep blue water. He smiled as he released his grip on the newly fixed crossbeam of the mast and sat up. He took a breath as he untied himself and look out over the sea surrounding them. [i]The Grand Line.[/i] In just the short period of time he'd seen so many new things, in just the crew itself. And now, who knows what he might see or find. He took a second to stand up and took another deep breath. [color=fff200]"WE MADE IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!!!!!!"[/color] Kite's excitement was very clear in the tone and sound of his shout. He couldn't help in voicing his happiness. This was something he'd dreamed of for ages. The only thing that could make this better was sailing the rest of the world on a ship of his own design. He walked to the center and placed his hand on the mast. 

[color=fff200]"Even if the best I get is being allowed to keep you running, I'll push you to travel the world."[/color] Kite had a dream. He wanted to fulfill it, but it wasn't his place to make such a decision anymore. It was Captain Boone's. And a portion of a dream for a family, that was something he was willing to trade. [color=fff200]"And I'll get back to mom safe and sound."[/color] He concluded his miniature promise to himself before using the rope he's previously tied himself to the mast with to descend. 

Once he reached the deck he was met by Bonesword as Boone set up what was essentially a lunch time meal with the crew they'd almost hit. [color=fff200]"Aha, right, I guess I did kind of come out of nowhere."[/color] He chuckled at the comment about proving himself. [color=fff200]"BUT! Since we're together now we should totally get to know each other more. Greahahahahahha! After all you can't be a family if you don't know each other."[/color] It didn't hurt that he thought everyone was cool as all fuck. [color=fff200]"And don't worry. I'll handle the anchor,"[/color] he said with a small smile as he turned and walked to anchor the ship as per the Captain's orders and Bonesword's request. 

As soon as the anchor was in place and the ship was set still in place he turned and clapped his hands together. [color=fff200]"Greahahaha! Time to eat! I am-"[/color] It was at this moment that Slick burst through the deck of the ship. Kite was dumbfounded. He didn't know how to react. That is, until it finally hit him. This was something else he had to fix. And even more than that, he had to inspect below deck for damage. Having survived Reverse Mountain didn't mean a thing if the ship sank while they ate. Even worse if it was literally the second they'd reached the Grand Line. 

[color=fff200]"C-captain..."[/color] Kite began in a dejected tone, barely speaking up loud enough to be heard. [color=fff200]"I think I'll stay behind to make sure I clean up the mess... Slick..."[/color] he paused. Was anybody gonna stop him? This most certainly wasn't good. Even so, he began to get to work on his fixing of the ship. He had his pride as a shipwright if nothing else at this moment.
