Dima ignored Cadix's lashes, it wasn't that he didn't feel sorry, but it was best not to see him and move on, if the captain didn't put a heavy hand, the lunatics would do anything again, and they would all end up dead, Dima thought as he walked to box.

"He doesn't look like a human god, but the sacrificed if he is human..." Dima said, looking at the black wooden box.

"A ritual of this style does not cost a lot, the box, the girl... Everything points to some important church" he murmured.

'Shit I don't see any symbol on the box and on the girl, I was a pirate, but I'm not mentally ill, even I have my limits... But William is too upset...' Dima reflected, luckily for him, I noticed the cabin boy passed out, waking up to Cadix's screams.

"Hey boy, come here you have a task" Dima said with a smile to Ricardo.

Ricardo looked at his bandaged hands, somewhat dazed, then he saw the captain whipping someone, hearing Dima, he ran with him for fear of being the next to be tortured.

"Yes, what's up, Dima?" Ricardo said, approaching the box.

"Look for a symbol on the girl, I'm going to keep the fish, your hands are very bad, I'll leave this task to you, which is easier..." Dima said with a smile, leaving the boy alone with the box.

Ricardo looked at the girl carefully, but saw nothing, he raised his head as if looking for help, but his gaze met that of the captain and with Cadix's shattered back, he lowered his head in fear and began to look better.

"Here's the mark, I think it's Poseidon's!" Richard yelled.

'No, this is expensive, there wouldn't be such an idiot living in Los Alamos… would there?' Dima ran to the box and looked carefully.

Looking in the box, I notice a trident engraved on the girl's belly:

"Help me close it, and we'll throw it back in the sea, boy" Dima said with some embarrassment.

Ricardo didn't ask, noticing Dima's urgency, he ended up helping to put the box on, logically he couldn't carry it with his broken hands, but Dima managed to place the box in his arms and went to the rail to throw it.

"Whose mark was it?" Ricardo asked when he saw the box with the poor girl inside sink into the ocean.

The box slowly melted into the water, as if the girl locked in the box was being cradled as she sank. The water seemed to be very clear because the box seemed to never finish sinking.

"The king without a name, that is to say that the girl is an offering to the Galleon, it is better to return her and not get into trouble" Dima answered a little nervously, leaving the box and going back to work.

"We'll be fine?" Ricardo asked when he saw Dima's condition, following his steps, he stopped looking at the box and accompanied him to work.

"No... Maybe... Yes" A somewhat strange answer came out of Dima's mouth, as if he was undecided.

Ricardo remained silent, basically he had not answered anything, he decided to go with Taras and give him the information he had obtained.

"Couldn't, nothing could happen, it depends..." Taras replied to Ricardo as he happily put away the fish.

"And what does it depend on?" Ricardo asked, helping Taras as he could.

"The whispers of the nameless king never reached this ship and that almost all the crew members died, probably because Lucas sacrificed our souls to Poseidon, so they will probably continue without arriving, anyway... We are all crazy now" Taras replied looking at the big fish in his hand proudly.
