Time passed, and the island, the whale carrying it, and the people on it steadily got closer to their target. Taienra still couldn't tell them exactly how close they were, but she did know that Pirate Haven wasn't far away.
Toz wasn't interested in pursuing the extremes of efficiency while taking over Pirate Haven and becoming the Pirate King, but he still wanted to be prepared. Although the information Hods and Stitches knew was outdated, it would be enough to serve as an introduction to the power structure of Pirate Haven. It would also help Toz and the others prepare for what they needed to do in order to put Toz on the throne of a Pirate King.
Since it was an important meeting meant to inform everyone about what Hods and Stitches knew about Pirate Haven, everyone gathered together during meal time. Like they usually did when they had important meetings.
