After the farewell to the Morror Continent, I tell Nix to leave the Dungeon gate open in the room we prepared inside the ship, so everyone can come and go as they want, after that, I go to Marcos who is in control of the Ship.

When I go up to the room where he's piloting the ship I see him concentrating on what he's doing and I wait until he notices me.

Sigh

It takes a few minutes for him to crack a smile and sigh before looking to the side where I'm finally noticing my presence.

"Sorry for not noticing you earlier, when I'm at sea I have to pay close attention to everything, especially since it's my first time with this ship."  (Marcos)

"Alright, I could see you were really focused."  (I)

"Need something from me?"  (Marcos)

"I just wanted to talk to you a little to understand a few things."  (I)

"Let me see something first..." (Marcos)

Marcos looks at the ocean and then at the sky, then he smiles before calling for one of his crew to take control of the ship before descending with me to the deck.

"Leo tells me you like to fish too, so why not talk while we're relaxing?"  (Marcos)

"Fine by me, let's go."  (I)

We go over to the place on the side where I always stay and I set up two chairs and pull two fishing rods out of my storage item handing one to Marcos.

"What did you want to know?"  (Marcos)

"I wanted to know more about what it's like to sail the ocean."  (I)

"As you seem to have sailed for a long time, including in dangerous situations, I decided to ask you."  (I)

"Navigating the normal ocean is simple, the hard part is surviving in the open sea."  (Marcos)

"Are there divisions at sea?"  (I)

"There is, the normal sea is the one around the continents where the water is shallower for miles, we are in that normal sea now."  (Marcos)

"You make it sound like this place is calm, but there are no monsters and pirates around here?"  (I)

"You've seen the pirates' strength for yourself, they're only Grade +B max, plus the monsters are also maxed SS Grade and you rarely hear about a Grade SSS monster around here."  (Marcos)

"Apart from these two factors there are also some air monsters that can appear, but they rarely attack boats, the weather is also usually quite stable and easy to predict."  (Marcos)

"You make it sound like navigating here is easy."  (I)

"Exactly, I can't say why though, but the open sea is incredibly dangerous."  (Marcos)

"Its depth is unparalleled and SSS Grade monsters are normal to see, also fearsome Catastrophe Grade monsters appear more frequently."  (Marcos)

"The weather can also change in a matter of minutes, the pirates who sail this kind of sea are much stronger than you can imagine, but fortunately they are few, I have only heard about them."  (Marcos)

"Normal boats and ships couldn't resist sailing through this kind of sea but this ship is like a dream to me, this wood is amazing, plus it's reinforced with magic from what one of my crew said, where did you get it, master?"  (Marcos)

"The Elves of Illusory Forest Village built together with the people of our town, it took some time to build from what I heard."  (I)

"From the information I have, not even the Grimo Kingdom's ship is as good as this one."  (Marcos)

"Come on, don't deviate from the subject, tell me more about the open sea, what kind of weather can we find?"  (I)

"Tides so violent that their force could break a normal boat in a matter of seconds, storms with winds so strong they can throw a person off the boat if they are on deck, lightning that has the force of a magic cannon fire, tornadoes, water whirlpools, eruptions of aquatic volcanoes, rock-sized hail and scorching desert-like sun."  (Marcos)

"..." (I)

"(The image I formed in my mind is that of an Apocalypse, this is the setting of a movie about the end of the world...)" (I)

I look at the way Marcos is talking like this is a normal thing, something common knowledge, but I can't believe how much more dangerous this world is than I realized.

"(Looks like the ocean might be even more dangerous than land...)" (I)

"You can talk to Rakan later, he knows everything about this ship and can explain the defense systems to you."  (I)

"I think I'll talk to him today, a captain should know his own ship like the back of his hand, that's a must."  (Marcos)

We continued fishing for a few more minutes with Marcos managing to catch two fish and me none so far.

"How do you navigate such dangerous places?"  (I)

"The most important thing is to be careful and calm, see how the water is, look at the sky, make sure there's nothing that draws the attention of a dangerous monster on the boat, etc."  (Marcos)

"But one thing that always really helps is luck, I've been in some situations where I didn't even believe I was going to survive, but I'm still here today."  (Marcos)

"..." (I)

Why did he have to say luck is an important factor so to me of all people, has no one said anything to him until now?

Doesn't he know I'm basically a bad luck magnet?

Why can't I just be happy for once and have a smooth trip?

Why do you always have to fall short of raising the lucky flag like it's some kind of tease for me?

"I hope you're wrong, I really do."  (I)

"(I really just want a smooth and peaceful trip, so if there is any lucky God I ask you to grant me this simple request.)" (I)

"Why do you look worried all of a sudden, everything is going well, you have nothing to worry about."  (Marcos)

"Please stop raising flags, don't test your luck with me around or..." (I)

Boommm!

"..." (I)

Before I finish talking to Marcos, I hear the sound of an explosion and a very strong glow in the sky almost blinding me coming out of nowhere.

"But what's going on!?"  (Marcos)

"This is what happens when you raise a flag next to me..." (I)

"(IF THERE IS A LUCKY GOD I SWEAR I'LL PUNCH EVERY BELIEVER I MEET!)" (I)

"I FOUND YOU DEMON HERETIC..."
