A little Ocean trip

Previously...

"Well well....if it isn't Choi Soobin." I said. He seemed to me confused for a bit before he came to the realisation.

"Daisy noona?"

Suga POV

I was in the welding area. The smell of metal was in the air and the smoke burned my eyes.

I walked towards the large building where the final works of the weapons were done.

As I entered, I saw my first mate and other crew members transfer the gunpowder and connon balls to my ship and the cannons at the boundary guard.

They saluted to me and I nodded curtly before going further in. After RM told me about Jimin's ships from the Brenden trading post, something had always been tugging at my mind. I had a feeling something was about to go wrong.

How could The Blue Canary know which ships were ours? We always concealed our identities whenever we took trips to the trading posts.

It wasn't possible unless there was either a mole among us, or our archenemies found a way to access our communication ways.

I did not tell RM as he had another important business to attend to and without him the other members would only start to worry. I slowly opened the door to find our blacksmith sharpening a dagger. The same dagger I asked him to replicate from something I treasured around 6 months ago. It was gone now and the only solution was to create another, minus the memories the original contained.

I had barely taken a few steps inside before my first mate Minho came running inside.

"Minho what did I say about barging in on my personal matters?" I exclaimed.

"Forgive me Captain! But Yeonjun is waiting outside to talk to you and he says it's an emergency!" Minho said frantically.

Yeonjun? Taehyung's first mate? Why did he need to talk to me of all people? Oh right. Any pressing matters will be transferred to me in case of RM's absence. But the thought of that pressing matter worried me. So without wasting another second I stepped out and saw Yeonjun frantically pasing in front of the building.

"What's the matter?" I asked him.

"Captain Suga...if we could please move to a more quiet area..." Yeonjun requested.

I gestured him to follow me and I lead him and Minho to the nearest market which was currently just being set up.

"Kid, what has got you all riled up?" I questioned the man before me.

"Captain we have an emergency and we need to take immediate action!" He said. His breathing seemed a little rushed.

"What is the dang problem?" I asked, both running out of patience and panicking.

"C-Choi Soobin is back, Captain." He stuttered. My heart stalled. Choi Soobin...the Head Guard of the Black Swan outpost on Ember Island? And...my former first mate?

"Why?" I demamnded he was not to leave the post for another 1 month. Unless...

"He was badly injured, Captain. And he came bearing terrible news. The Ember Outpost has been raided. It happened 8 days ago."

My blood turned cold. My suspicions were right. Our enemies had almost seized one of our outposts. One of our biggest outposts. No wonder...

"What...in the name of the Motherland?!" I yelled in frustration. Then I took deep breaths and tried to clear my mind.

"We need to get this information to RM but we can't risk out usual mode of communication." I said and turned to my first mate.

"Minho get my ship and crew ready. We are going on a small trip."
