"Do you realize that you can also get killed if we tell others what you've been saying?" Gabriel asked the young man.
"I know you won't do that," the young man answered.
"And why won't we do that?" Gabriel asked, wondering why this guy was so confident about this.
"Because you two have worked with the Pirates for a long time. I'm sure you know your master well enough by now to understand what he is going to do to you, once you become a burden."
The young man made his thoughts clear. His words also convinced Gabriel that he truly didn't know who they were. He was still thinking that they were the pirates who had returned from the other world.
Only very few people amongst the pirates should have known about their mission. So it was surprising that someone who was new to the group knew about it.
"Even if you are correct, what else can we do?" Gabriel asked the man. "I'm sure you aren't asking us to betray, are you?"
