A sudden jolt shot Komaeda's eyes open. He found himself lying in the Captain's bed still, but Kamukura was nowhere to be seen.
It took a moment to register that a blanket had been draped over him, and he had been cleaned of... Earlier.
In fact, even the mark upon his arm had been bandaged carefully with a white cloth, hiding any signs of the wound.
How long had he been out? He hadn't felt Izuru get up at all.
It was almost surprising that he hadn't been dressed in his sleep either.


What had happened though? That feeling... It was as though they had hit something.
He swung his legs over the side of the bed, just as fast as a dizzying feeling struck him. Right, blood loss.
He would just need to move a bit slowly.
Nagito pushed himself up and picked up his clothes that he had folded up before they had started earlier.
Still clean, why get something new? Besides, he rather liked his striped shirt and black jacket. Something about it just felt perfect together. Hopefully, Fuyuhiko wouldn't miss the jacket.
Once he got dressed, the pirate stepped out above deck, the sun almost instantly blinding him and causing him to need to shield his eyes as he looked around.
It didn't take long to see the ship had docked at a strange beach, no longer being rocked by the ocean.


Rather, the entire fleet was circled around the shore.
That was likely what he had felt, and the crewmates around him looked just as curious about where they ended up.
"Is this it?" Kaito raised an eyebrow. "This looks like any other beach."
"My map is correct," Izuru stepped down from the wheel to join everyone else. Moving to Komaeda, he quickly swooped by and gave the man a short welcoming kiss before looking back to everyone else as though it were nothing to share a kiss in front of everyone, "It is around here somewhere, start searching for anything that leads to the entrance."
Although his order was greeted by a few annoyed grunts and groans, the pirates hopped down the side of the ship into the white sands below.
"How long was I out?" He looked to Izuru, expecting the worst.
"About a day and a half. How are you feeling? Do you need something to eat?"


"I don't think so," He quickly smiled to calm him, "I'm just a bit nauseous, but I don't feel hungry at all. I can help look too."
Although Kamukura raised an eyebrow, he didn't seem to object to the idea. After so long of sleeping, Nagito did expect to feel a little hungry, but oddly enough, it was true, he felt fine, just weaker than usual.
Which was a relief to Komaeda, of course, that the dark man didn't bother arguing. Aside from wanting to feel useful, it was also a bit exciting to look for treasure too.
He knew the Silver Wine wasn't any sort of treasure of riches and fame, but it was buried with France's treasury, wasn't it?


That was enough to catch any pirate's attention.
Hopefully, there would be enough compensation for everyone as well.
He couldn't help but look around the fleet where men and women alike were jumping from their ships to trudge onto land.
Komaeda looked over the side of the ship, allowing himself to gauge the jump. It didn't seem too far for the rest of them, but would it be okay for himself while he was still fairly limited?
There was only one way to find out, that was.
Nagito could feel the Captain's eyes on his back in silence, and only wondered what he was thinking.


Not that he would attempt to invade his thoughts so soon after waking up.
With a inhale of preparation, he pushed himself over the railing and jumped down.
For a single moment, Komaeda felt as though he were flying.


Nothing above him, nothing below.
It was scary, but peaceful as well.
Before he knew it, the pirate hit the white sand of land, nearly knocking the air out of him as he stumbled and fell to a kneel.
"You alright?" A voice brought the man to look up to Nagisa standing before him. "You're supposed to land on your knees, not your legs. That's a good way to bust bones."
The kid raised an eyebrow and offered a hand out.
How funny, to have a kid offering his help. How could Komaeda refuse though? Nagisa was right about that, it didn't feel great on his legs but they didn't feel broken.
As he took Nagisa's hand to be pulled up, he could still move and bend his knees as well.
