On their way back to the ship, Pedro took the time to talk to Paul.
"Paul, I want to talk to you about the arrangement of the fleet."
"Arrangement?" Paul asked in a confused tone, "I'm totally fine with you being the Captain, Senior."
Pedro smiled in response and said, "That's good to hear from you. But... What I wanted to talk about is the assignment of tasks. Remember that there should be, at least, one of the highest-ranking officers to remain on board the Head Ship Karakoa?"
"Yeah."
"As of now, there's only the two of us." He said, "I know that this would be a selfish request but... I would like you to be the one in charge of the ships. I mean... You are definitely more knowledgable than me in terms of control and navigation of the ships."
Paul Solares laughed in response and said, "You think too highly of me, Senior. But if you say so, then it would be my honor."
Pedro laughed in response and said, "Great! Great! Now, I am at ease that the ships are in good hands."
