Bleck shook his head.
"No, that plan sounds like the most reasonable course of action." He said.

"Well... you're still human, regardless if you're a pirate." John said softly. "Besides, I may not like you pirates but I'm not cold blooded enough to just leave you wounded. I know, I know... I'm pathetic but I won't let anyone get hurt, even if they are the bad guy. Just relax and quit moving around, you're just gonna make your wounds worse."
John turned to Wallace before shaking his head, almost ashamed of even being in the same guild as him. He turned back to Roger. "Just ignore him..."

Zyon listened to Marina's tale and began to laugh a bit. He didn't seem at all interested in old sailor stories. He spoke up after Marina.
"Sounds like a salty story to me." He remarked. "A giant monster just eating a ship and crew whole? I'll tell ya a good story. There's a tale about an underwater cave filled with treasures from every corner of the globe! Gold, pearls, rubies, and emeralds! Legend says that the man who left his treasure behind wanted no one to ever find it so he can die in the mountains of treasures. The island he left his treasure in was engulfed by a huge tidal wave where he never saw it again. Legend has it that he made a map to anyone brave enough to find his treasure. They say that the ghosts of the hundreds of people he killed guard that underwater cave and drown anyone who gets close, adding another soul to forever guard his treasure."
Zyon smirked to himself. "Rumor says that anyone who can find his treasure and live to tell the tale will be known as the world's best treasure hunter. But in order to prove it, they need to bring back a very specific treasure. The most valuable treasure in that cave... The Golden Triton."

Marina shrugged a shoulder. "I happen to just like things that eat up people. Though around here, no fish would ever be that big. Except for the manatee. They're just slow mini whales." Then she stuck out her tongue at the other story. "Come on, that one? Those ghosts were probably a bunch of wet tablecloths anyway." She commented.
"I suppose credit is given where it's due. At least you went for something that wasn't The Sea Madness." Marina opened her eyes all the way using her fingers. "It isn't even real sea madness! The sailors just drink sea water our of stupidity thinking it works like freshwater."
"Hmph. Guess you lot aren't all bad... I'll tell ya an even better story! But this one is one I'm going to see with my own two eyes! The place is Dea...d....s...sss...." Roger fell back to sleep before he could finish his sentence. "Zz...."
Marina looked at Roger with a quirked eyebrow. "Is he drunk?"
"Probably, but it must've been how he got knocked out when we came to arrest them. I thought he'd fall off the ship and drown! The Lady would kill us if that happened." Said Wallace.

"Yeah, well, at least wet towels are more believable and scary than a giant fish!" Zyon pouted. "Besides, I heard that cave is guarded by mermaids." Zyon smirked to himself before chuckling. "I just so happen to have met a person who saw the mermaids first hand."

"I guess the medicine must be kicking in on the poor fella'." John rose to his feet and took his usual seat. He turned his back to the crew and jotted down a couple of things in a notebook. "He should be okay if he gets some rest." He overheard Zyon's story and rolled his eyes, obviously not impressed. "You really believe a dumb story like that?"
"It's not dumb! It's true I tell ya'! I'm gonna go after that Golden Triton and be known as the world's best treasure hunter and thief!"
"If we're lucky, those spirits will keep you as their own."

"I don't think it's stealing if the one who owned it is dead." Marina remarked before clearing her throat. "I'm sure all the mermaids there have cleaned the place out by now anyway. Assuming none of the sea friends mistook it all for lunch."
"It isn't that she's interested in all of you per se. That guy over there?" Wallace pointed at Roger, slumped over asleep. "She's adamant about him not dying. I don't know details since I'm not her right hand or anything, but it might be that they got some kind of history going. He's usually managed to escape our grasp but it looks like he didn't get out of the scene of his crime fast enough. Probably has a good reward for his head, or maybe she'd want to kill him herself. Dunno." He shrugged. "She's only said he was anold friend. Doubt they were actual friends but you never know with her."
"But you guys, we've mostly never seen, so it isn't like you'll all be hanged or something. Fish girl fetches a nice price, so I could see Milady Klain wanting her alive."
Marina eventually stopped talking and stared resolutely at the wall. "..."

"Alright, then let's get going to that jailhouse! Wherever it is." Said Zora.

"Well sounds like your leader friend might want Roger all for herself." Zyon's eyes widen. "I claim that this is all a forced marriage! Man, If he gets married then he's really gonna be in prison. Only difference is that the shackle will be on his finger!"
=========
John seemed to get slightly defensive about Marina's situation but he knew he couldn't say anything at the moment. He didn't want anything to happen to the girl so he tried to think up of a plan to get Marina back to the ocean, or at least somewhere safe. He can't risk just letting Marina go but he can't let a mermaid get killed off or sold away.
"Hey Wallace." John said. "Think you can bring me another notebook? The pages of this one are running out and I need to write a report."

Bleck nodded at Zora.
"I think I know where it is. Of course considering we match criminal descpritions we should probably get some disguises."
