"This is way beyond my personal boundary." Daiyu's strained voice sounded right from underneath Po.

"Your boundary?" Tai Lung snarked from underneath Daiyu whilst Mantis squirmed his way outside from underneath him as well.

"Yes! My boundary."

As everyone else was scattered all over the deck after practically getting launched upon the impact of the boat crashing into something, Tai Lung roughly turned around and got both Po and Daiyu off of him.

Daiyu helped Tigress on her feet and yanked Zhen out of the ropes she got herself stuck into, which ended with Zhen falling and bumping her head against the flat surface of the deck.

"Hey!" Zhen yelled.

"Don't mention it." Daiyu shrugged her shoulders.

"A little heads-up would be-..."

"Ever." Daiyu putting force on that word alone made Zhen clamp her mouth shut.

"Sweet bean curd. Captain, what was that?" Po immediately asked the captain.

"I think we've hit a sandbank."

"A sandbank?"

"Shallow water."

"I know what a sandbank is!" Tai Lung snarled. "And now what?"

"We must be close to land. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any shallow waters near." Tigress said. Daiyu agreed, coughing as she waved her fan for both cooling and breathable air.

"Yes. And if any of you would've used your perfectly fine eyes properly when you were supposed to, we could've spared another one of Po's inconvenient butt landings."

"How about this? You won't comment about our functioning eyes and we won't point out the one thing about you that undoubtedly doesn't function, what do you say?" Tai Lung suggested tauntingly, giving Daiyu a smug grin as Zhen snickered at her.

"And I certainly don't want to hear anything out of your mouth for the rest of the day." Tai Lung turned to Zhen, snarling as he took Daiyu's cane and pointed it at Zhen like a disciplinary teacher. "You're the very reason why we haven't reached the Chameleon yet."

"Hey, I'm the only one who actually bothered to help out instead of being all broody and dark and mysterious in a corner like you!"

"With the kind of help you've offered us, I think none of us would notice the difference once we get rid of you. I don't even know why they brought you along or why Po had even put his trust in you to begin with." Tai Lung spat ghastly.

"This is going so accordingly." Daiyu whispered gleefully to Mantis, who sat on her shoulder.

"Right. And I really didn't think it would happen this smoothly and naturally, especially with him around. But do you really think your little tactic will work?" Mantis asked, Daiyu nodded.

"It will. Once we get off this boat, we'll turn-..."

"Look, big guy. Two things, okay? One, where would you guys be without my help? And two, what reason do you have not to trust me?"

"First off, I would've been on my honeymoon to Indonesia. And second, nothing about you says "trustworthy" or "helpful"." Daiyu answered.

"You guys, I think we might be close to our destination." Po spoke up.

"How can you be so sure?" Tigress asked.

But Tigress got Po pointing his finger at the sky in return instead.
