The dawn broke over the horizon, casting a golden glow on the bustling port. The crew of the ship was already awake, preparing for their next journey. The air was filled with a mix of anticipation and determination as they loaded the final provisions and double-checked their equipment.
Destiny stood on the deck, gazing out at the vast expanse of the ocean. She felt a mixture of excitement and anxiety about the journey ahead. The map from Rook was their key to El Dorado, but she couldn't shake the feeling that their encounter with him had been too easy, too convenient.
With the final preparations complete, the ship set sail, leaving the port behind. The sea was calm, the wind favorable. Destiny found herself once again working alongside her crewmates, each task a reminder of how far she had come and how much she had learned.
As the sun climbed higher in the sky, the crew settled into their routines. Destiny was coiling a rope when Mingi approached her, his expression neutral but his eyes filled with a challenge.
