"HAAAAAHH?!" Blackbeard formed an ugly expression on his face, so did the ones who heard Raystia's unexpected declaration.

"As I said, I changed my mind. I don't want to be part of your crew."

"Oi oi, you lasted more than ten seconds against a Yonko, even though he went easy on you. He even offered a position to you. BUT YOU ARE TURNING IT DOWN?! OI WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS YOU BRAT?! I'LL...!" Avalo screamed out in anger.

"Alright now, calm down everyone."

The head navigator Laffitte spoke from a distance.

"I saw this coming. Besides she doesn't have the necessary qualities to be part of this crew."

"Ehh, what de yer mean by that?" Blackbeard said.

"Didn't you witness it yourself, admiral? She prioritized a life above hers in the middle of a fight. Don't you think that will be burdensome in the future?"

"Hmm." Blackbeard nodded.

"True, the brat's a softie." Catarina agreed.

"Well uh... thanks for the food and stuff, I better get going then. Hahaha" Raystia said she walked towards her boat.

"Wait, before that, what's yer dream?" Blackbeard said, strangely putting on a serious expression.

"Dream? Well, I don't know. Hmmm... The closest thing I have is something of an objective." Raystia said, scratching her head.

"I see, but remember this, if you were to get in my way in the future, I won't show any mercy you brat."

"Jeez, at least remember my name." She whispered to herself.

"Waaaahhh, you're leaving already?" A voice came from afar.

"That's right Wolf-san. I'm leaving." Raystia said while cupping her hands on her mouth so that her voice will reach the giant.

"Awww so ssssooooooonnn." The mighty giant complained.

During the feast previously, Raystia played quite a lot with Sanjuan Wolf. Running across his shoulders, getting a bird's eye view from his head, amongst other shenanigans.

"Hehehe, maybe we might cross paths someday in the future." Raystia waved at the mighty giant.

"Well then, I better get going." She looked at the indignant faces before her, there was just no way she could be part of them she thought.

"Ah. Wait." A familiar monotone voice with a slight hint of emotion called out to her.

"You don't happen to have a log pose do you?" Laffite raised an eyebrow.

"Umm... what's that?" Raya said, clearly unfamiliar with the term that was brought up.

"*Sighs* Here's a new world log pose, this is an instrument which shows you which island to go to and not to go."

In his hand, sat a neat, sophisticated wristwatch. Instead of a watch dial, there was a base made of wood. On it, there were five orbs each housing a suspended magnetic needle. Each needle turned in a unique pattern, three were spinning nonstop, one was turning slightly and the last one was stationary.

"See those three needles moving like crazy? That means the respective islands they are pointing to are very peculiar, dangerous or have something insane going on."

He maintained his usual expression during his explanation.

"If you are feeling adventurous, go and visit them if you want, though it will be very risky."

"I see, I see. So these three show where the parties are going on right? While this one shows where the boring stuff is doesn't it?"

"Hmm...as long as you understand it's fine."

Things like risks, death, and all the doom and gloom don't really mean anything to someone like Raystia. Well, there were some that had quite the impact on her and her life.

"Well then, I should get going then. Thanks for the gift." Raystia said as she straps the instrument in her left wrist.

"Don't get mistaken, that's just for insurance." Laffitte winks as he said this with an unsuspecting smile.

"Uh...okay then."

After checking that her belongings were not missing and hauling upon her shoulder a big bag full of food, she gave a final wave to the Blackbeard crew.

"Don't get killed ye 'ear me?!" Blackbeard yelled.

"I won't!" She replied.

With just one hand she threw her precious boat over the edge. Considering the fact that the boat is around a ton in weight thanks to the special wood it was made of, that was some strength.

She leaped on to her boat and turns towards the huge Blackbeard ship to her left.

"Boy, it's been quite fun." She mutters to herself. After that, she settled her things in the boat and prepared the sail.

That particular day had good conditions to sail which meant that it was perfect for Raystia to continue on her journey.

"Mom, Dad, I'm not going to let you down, I'll be keeping our promise." And with that, Raystia took one last look at the Blackbeard fleet before facing the vast, beautiful, blue ocean once again.
