On the vast ocean, the heavily scarred Cantona was lucky enough to encounter a merchant ship after a day and night of drifting. The captain was kind, not waiting for him to perish before collecting his corpse, but instead just charged a gold coin for passage and let Cantona eat a full meal.
Captain McLenny of the Dawn also felt good because he wanted to reach Five Claw Island before the storm struck. However, they were caught right in the storm's path, and the entire crew thought they were doomed. Unexpectedly, the storm ended before reaching its peak strength, which usually lasted a week to half a month, meaning certain death despite anyone's rich maritime experience.
Rescuing someone was also considered a form of gratitude for the Sea God's blessing. Normally, he would not involve himself in unnecessary trouble. Drifting amidst the sea at this time, who knows what kind of problems a severely wounded person might bring?
