Cori was about to ask what he would have done had he not collided with their ship. However, that thought was quickly dismissed as the Straw Hats boarded their ship. Her gaze shifted to the hole that Max was working on. She walked over to him and squatted down beside him, “We’re all thinking it but is it fixable while out at sea?”
Max frowned at the question and looked back at Nara. He didn’t want to say anything while the Straw Hats were on board because they’d feel obligated to try and fix it themselves. Turning his attention back to the hole and Cori, he frowned. “It’s fixable but we’ll be in trouble if a storm hits. Until we dock I don’t now how far the damage goes.”
“That’s what I was afraid of. Thanks Max.” Cori stood up and looked at Edan, giving him a gesture to talk to him away from the other crew.
“What’s up,” Edan asked as he stepped away with Cori.
Cori quickly went over what Max had told her. “We are in trouble here captain. Our destination is still three days off. If a storm hits before then we’re done for.”
Nami had been in the middle of scolding Luffy for launching himself so carelessly when she overheard Cori and Edan. She frowned and looked at the hole before approaching the two. “I’m sorry, I couldn’t help bur overhear. We can help with the repairs if you’d like. Or you can hitch your ship to ours until the next island.”
Cori looked at Nami, then to Edan. “That’s entirely up to the captain here. I’ll leave you two to talk about it.” She gave them both a smile before walking away.
“Highness,” Citri grinned as she skipped over to Cori. “Don’t you think the blond one looks like…”
“You know I hate when you call me that.”
“It’s the eyebrow though. He’s got the same one.”
“Hadn’t noticed,” she replied while rolling her eyes. In fact, she had. She’d noticed it the moment he stepped onto their ship with the others. [I They didn’t talk about him, but he looks like an older version of the blond boy in the portrait back at Germa. But didn’t one of the servants say he died?]
