"Let's just... Clean this..."

Nash let out a sigh.

"You're too forgiving, Dad."

"..."

"Haa, I'll clean it up."

Nash then waved his paws, and light blue mana began to envelop the entire room, and in a flash of light, the room was instantly spotless clean. Luke nodded in satisfaction as he looks at this. He then walked over to the broken bed and just stood there staring at it. He then heard Nash speak.

"Wait a minute, I'll find a material that can repair-"

"There's no need; I'll do it myself."

Luke then raised his hand and activated his wood power on the plant on the window. The plant then began to shake and grow continuously. The plant grew so large that it broke its pot, and the branches began to slither towards the bed. The branches slithered up like a snake and wrapped around the bed's broken leg. Luke controlled the branches and stopped when the bed is on balance footing once again. Luke simply sighed and approached the bed when he was finished.

"This is good, but now the problem is..."

Luke fixed his gaze on the soiled mattress on the bed. Luke frowns in frustration as he notices the blanket on the bed hasn't been washed in weeks and has multiple holes in it.

"Brother..."

Luke flinched and turned his head slowly. He then noticed Liam emerge from the shadows, looking at him seriously.

"Why are you here, Liam?"

"I'm here to protect you while you sleep."

"Protect me? Why do you think it's necessary to protect me?"

"I heard that pirates are cunning savages and might ambush you in your sleep, so I'll keep an eye on you."

"...Where did you hear that?"

"From Marina."

Luke was silent while looking at Liam who looks dead serious about protecting him. Then Luke sighed.

"All right, do whatever you want."

Liam nodded and began to scan the room. Liam then frowned deeply.

"How come your room is like this?"

"Believe me, it looks a lot worse than it did before we cleaned it."

Liam then clenched his fists and gripped his sword's hilt with murderous intent.

"I'm going to kill them... They dare to treat you this way..."

"Hey, it's all right. I'm used to it because I've had rooms far worse than this in the past. For me, this is like a trip down memory lane."

"Brother..."

Luke ignored Liam and just focused on the blanket and sheets, while doing so, Nash approached Liam.

"Uncle, you're wasting your time talking to Dad like that. Dad is far too kind and forgiving."

Liam agreed with a nod.

"You're right, he's far too nice. Those wretched pirates simply took advantage of his generosity..."

After that, Liam and Nash's eyes became cold. They really wanted to rip the ship to shreds, but they couldn't do it unless Luke gave them the go signal. They can only watch Luke do chores and get pushed around by pirates for the time being.

"Now... What should I do with these sheets?"

Luke frowned as he examined the mattress and sheets. And as if his prayers were heard, a light suddenly appeared in the center of the room. Nash approached Luke and told him what was going on.
