"The boat may rock quite a bit, so please hold on tightly."

The old man casually announced as the boat departed. Kim started to curse soon after they left.

"Shit."

The boat was rocking. The boat was just barely avoiding the whirlpool that seemed like it would suck everything in. The force of the whirlwind was rocking the boat a lot.

Splash, rash.

All sorts of water splashing sounds rang in the twins' ears the old fisherman shouted.

"Ha ha ha. Young Masters-nim, isn't the whirlpool grand?"

The fisherman was a very courageous man. Kim pushed away the hand of the Vice Captain, who was grabbing onto his clothes with a pale expression.

He was feeling seasick.

Kim looked out from the deck of the boat. The colour of the violent water was not transparent at all. It was white and blue as it reflected the bottom of the sea, and it became a darker shade of blue as it got closer to the center of the whirlpool.

'You'd probably die if you get caught in it.'

'At least any normal person would. Most of our group is not normal.'

Shrugged not disagreeing with Cale's words, though he believed he would probably be the exception.

'You know despite your weak body you're still a demigod, right?'

'Hmm not sure if that'll help or not but maybe you're right.'

Cale accepted Kim's answer and returned to looking out at the whirlpools. The lucky bastard was definitely not seasick like Kim was. Fortunately, he wasn't as bad as Vice Captain Hillsman.

Kim thought about the new magic bombs in the magic box back in his residence. He then turned his gaze towards the front and looked toward the smallest island of the cluster of islands in front of him.

"Young Masters-nim, it is that island over there! The whirlpool in front of the island is the worst! You'll need to say goodbye to this world immediately if you get caught in that one! Ha ha ha ha!"

The fisherman was really gutsy. He didn't even see the vice captain's face turn paler as he continued to speak.

Kim held back the feeling of needing to vomit and paid attention to the fisherman's words.

"There is a legend that says that the whirlpool appeared because of a thief who stole something from a God, but, aiya!"

The boat leaned to one side. Kim gulped after seeing the water crash against the side of the boat.

"Aigoo, the boat almost tipped over. Hey, punk, row properly!"

"Sorry, dad!"

The fishing dad and son really were gutsy.

"That is why, young masters-nim."

"Hey."

In the end, Kim raised his hand to stop the old man and sternly started to speak.

"Let's talk after making it to that island first."

"That is what Lady Amiru said as well! We are almost there."

The old man, skilfully started to row. The boat that was moving as he continued to row, somehow twisted and turned to avoid all of the whirlpools. Kim observed each and every one of the whirlpools as they passed.

"Y,young masters, I, I am supposed to be protecting you... ugh."

Kim ignored the Vice Captain's words as he clenched onto the boat's handles. He did not want to drown to death.
