Kukui, successfully tying down the beast in front of him, smiled and began to relax as he leaned to the left and locked eyes with the fishman woman at the other side of the beast. "Ah hello, uh I think we partially met in the cage." He then grew a new wooden arm and hand, under the arm holding down the beast, and made it extend forward towards Cera. "The names Kukui Blackthorn. Explorer and shipman. Nice to meet you mam." He said with a smile as he slowly began to move his main body away from the beasts wooden shackles to his extended arm. His new wooden 'body' forming around the arm and out of the ground as it formed. Soon, Kukui was completely assembled in front of the fishwoman. A few branches sticking out of his body. 

"I remember seeing y-" Kukui was interrupted by the sound of the first cannonball firing at the ship. The barrage that followed after fully grabbed his attention as cannonballs began landing around the ship. "Oh no. No no no no no no NO!" Kukui yelled as he immediately tried to merge with the boat, before he 'swam' through the boards and look for breaches within the ship. He had JUST gotten off of land into a boat and he sure as hell wasn't going to let this ship sink after going through so much trouble to get  here. 

Finding any holes in the boat he could, he fills them with branches and intertwine them into solid walls.
