“Yeah, just Leroy being Leroy!!” Noir quickly came right on up, already determined to out perform the captain and make himself the favorite. He forced a laugh before bowing in front of the princess. “Your majesty! May I make you something to drink? Perhaps a snack? I’m at your service!”
"Hey! Lover boy! Leave her alone for like, two minutes, will you??” Kirk called out before going to head to the whipstaff. “Kále! Is the anchor up? I’m getting this show on the road now!”
Kále was in the middle of lifting the anchor when Kirk yelled out to him. He turned his head. "Yeah, I'm getting it. I'd get it a whole lot faster if you stopped yelling at me." He continued yanking at the anchor to pull it up. He still wasn't too sure about the princess coming with the crew. She didn't seem all that useful to him. But, his criteria of usefulness isn't exactly correct in judgement.
Dezzi upon getting on the ship would immediately go to their project and see if anything had happened while the crew were away, there was no signs of anything having changed so they let out a slight sigh and set down their bag, they had to pack as much into it if the crew was going to be in the middle of a war zone, making sure to keep everything tidy while still being compact
Within Moments, the Horizons Palm had backed out of the Docks of Serket, Sails at Full mast as they exited out on to sea near the shore of the Docks, Riding just up and along it a few hundred meters away. Ready to sail off into the Sea proper and navigate to the mouth of the Nile that sat almost dozens and dozens of kilometers away. But this time, something wasn't right. Jeanne had been looking through her Magnifying goggles to the surrounding horizon when something caught her eye. Causing a Bead of sweat to trail down her temple as she lurched over the crowsnest with a look of concern "Hey, Guys?! Something is closing in on us! And Fast! And whatever it is is on fire!"
Jeanne Looked back to the Object; it was like a Fireball trailing across the surface of the water, waves, and water splitting open and splashing from the sides from the sheer speed of the object! Kiki had a Concerned look on her face as she looked at Jeanne "Fireball?!"
"Wait! Could it be!" Leroy said with a smile as he ran over to the rail and leaned over as the Ship began to pick up speed. He couldn't see the object to well, but he had a good feeling he knew who it was "I bet that's Azar!" Leroy said, momentarily pushing himself up from the rail to put the rest at ease. Leaning back over, the Object came into clear view It was a Fireball, alright! But the Bright Ball of Flames began to give way to the Image of Azar on what looked to be a Motorcycle, Riding the very waves itself, a giant ball of elemental power spewing out the back. Leroy's mind immediately raced as his eyes sparkled in amazement!
'It's probably powered by his fruit! Amazing!' He thought to himself Moments Later, Azar seemed to stand up, Leap from his Flame powered Cycle, and ignited his Legs to propel himself the rest of the way in a streaking and dazzling display of speed before stopping the flames and landing on the side of the rails where Leroy was! Flames illuminated his body as he crouched down "Told you I'd catch up to you!" Azar said confidently as the elemental powers of his logia began to simmer and dissipate. Returning his body to normal

Kále's attention turned to the water as Leroy began yelling. He spotted the flaming man who had just landed on the ship rails. Kále had a grin on his face, that was a cool-ass ability, he thought. He approached the railing where Leroy and Azar were. "So you're Leroy's brother?" In a shocking revelation, Kále actually remembered something.
Specifically, he remembered Leroy bringing up his brother earlier when explaining what the flame haze, back in Serket was. Kále was interested in meeting Leroy's brother, the man who helped make Leroy who he was today. Azar certainly lived up to his reputation. Him being the brother of Leroy certainly came with some expectations, and Azar fit exactly what Kále had envisioned him being like.
“Doesn’t matter who he is.” Kirk said quickly, giving Azar a serious look, huffing and having his arms crossed. “Keep those flames to a minimum on this ship, this is the only one we got!” he did eventually start minding his own business, waving his hand dismissively as he turned back to directing the ship. “Don’t get too crazy now, we should probably be reserving our energy.”
Noir seemed.. very surprised by the new member on the ship! He had been so absorbed into his previous despair, he didn’t fully absorb the fact that Leroy had a brother. Now that he was better with a healthy dose of happiness from the princess, he could catch up with what was happening now!
Azar Smiled as he rested on Railing. His motorbike slowly caught up to them, the Flame Human hopped down to his bike and grabbed a piece of rope, before hopping back to the Rail and tieing it to the White Trim, speaking as he did. "Well, they certainly Remind me of someone, wouldn't you say, Leroy?"
Leroy immediately caught the joke and chuckled "Yeah, a bit..." He said, looking at Kirk briefly. "But then again, the Comparison starts and ends there."
Hoping from the Rail, Azar tapped his brother on the arm teasingly "Well, you would know!"
"Yeah, I certainly hope so!" He jested back. Leroy knew his crew almost like the back of his hand, even if they hadn't been together for the longest of times. But through all, they'd gone through? There was a bond that he felt was nigh-unbreakable between them all. Even the newer crewmates like Dezzi and Noir.
"So, Baby Brother, How is Mamtha anyway? Wasn't too heartbroken after I left, right?" Azar's mood shifted slightly as he mentioned the two shared adoptive grandmother. Leroy smirked at the term 'Baby Brother' something Azar always used against him despite having been incredibly close in age. But he was always the Youngest of the Three at the end of the Day.
"Well you know her. She was fine with it at first. Just playing it off. But Mamtha being Mamtha, Cried when she got back home. I'm sure she did the same for me...She'd been through a lot of grief leading up to us leavin' ya know?" It was almost like the two were in their own conversation bubble. Nothing the others around them could say would break them out.
