Sarah's Inner World

"Hoo..." Ryze saw that the "Leviathan" had stopped its cannon fire and released its maintenance of the magic array.

"Captain, this ship, from now on, is ours? Just, so quickly? So easily?" Raven said, word by word, with an incredulous expression on his face.

"Am I really not dreaming?"

"It seems so..."

Sarah felt like she was just along for the ride.

All the crewmates of the "Siren" felt like they were just along for the ride.

They hadn't done anything, and in less than fifteen minutes, they inexplicably had a huge ship?

"Don't underestimate yourselves," Ryze said, slightly out of breath.

"The Law of the Jungle is just like this, the strong prey on the weak. Without that kid, it wouldn't have taken the 'Leviathan' ten minutes to deal with you; one round of cannon fire would have been enough."

"All we can do is fight against the law. When you possess great power, you should be a Guardian of Order, not bully the weak."

"Guardian of Order..." Sarah still felt a strong sense of unreality.

She couldn't listen to anything about order right now. The "Leviathan" represented nearly half of Gangplank's strength, and losing this Warship would be a fatal blow to Gangplank!

"I can avenge Mother soon," Sarah clenched her fists, her breathing quickening. Ryze saw all of this.

Blinded by revenge... Ryze shook his head. Sarah indeed had some internal issues.

"Hey, do you guys want to come up? Come and see your new ship!" Ato shouted loudly, leaning on the railing.

"Board the ship? Right, we should board and take a look."

Sarah lowered the Small Wooden Boat and, with Ryze, Raven, and some Sailors, boarded the "Leviathan."

Upon reaching the deck, the Sailors automatically ignored Andrew, who was curled up in a corner, the only Survivor on the ship.

They were immediately shocked by the advanced nature of the "Leviathan."

"As expected of a Military Warship. Every component from the Production Line fits perfectly, and the Mast is also very well-designed. This place is simply paradise!" A Sailor who understood Shipbuilding exclaimed.

Just as everyone was marveling at the "Leviathan," Ryze pulled Ato aside.

"Sarah is solely focused on Revenge. Now that she has this ship, she's very close to her goal."

"I'm worried that after she achieves her Revenge, she'll become the next Gangplank. She'll listen to you; can you help her overcome her Hatred?"

Mr. Ato smiled knowingly. As expected of Ryze, he had overlooked this issue himself. "Leave it to me."

Sarah was gazing at the facilities of the "Leviathan" when she suddenly realized the ship didn't belong to her yet.

She needed Mr. Ato's consent, after all, he was the one who captured it as spoils of war.

She made up her mind. If Mr. Ato went back on his word, she would find a way to get the use of the "Leviathan" for a period, no matter the cost.

"It seems you're quite satisfied with this ship," Mr. Ato said, patting Sarah's shoulder.

"Mr. Ato... are you really giving it to me?" Sarah asked nervously. This was a moment that would decide her destiny.

"Of course. What would I want with it? I'd have to learn to pilot it, maintain it, refuel it, find a place to dock it..."

"Thank you so much!" Sarah bowed deeply, interrupting Mr. Ato's rambling.

"We can never repay your help. If you ever need anything in the future, Sarah Fortune will be by your side, ready to go through fire and water for you!"

"Whoa, whoa, don't do that..." Mr. Ato waved his hands repeatedly.

In his past life, let alone beautiful women like her, he could barely hold a conversation with ordinary people. He had never experienced such a display of gratitude.

The first time he met Sarah, he had to use his game character to even communicate.

Sarah remained kneeling for a long time. She thought she had cried all her tears out, but after not crying for over a decade, her eyes welled up again.

The others noticed this scene and turned their gazes to Mr. Ato, leaving him flustered.

After all, he had just been a Demon God who slaughtered an entire ship's crew!

Mr. Ato looked to Ryze for help. Ryze frantically signaled him, telling him this was the perfect opportunity to correct Sarah's slightly distorted psychology!

Mr. Ato gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and took Sarah's shoulders, making her meet his gaze.

Sarah's eyes were still tear-streaked, which made him feel awkward, but he braced himself and said:

"Sarah, I need you to answer my question. Gangplank was a failed ruler. He held power, but was cruel and inhumane."

"Now you possess power equal to his. Have you considered that after your revenge is complete, Bilgewater will be leaderless, its fragile order shattered? At that point, someone strong will be needed to reintegrate the factions and establish order."

"I know Gangplank is someone you must end, and I won't stop your revenge."

"But I need to know if you will be the one to establish order, to build a Bilgewater different from the one under Gangplank's rule?"

"I will," Sarah said calmly, meeting Mr. Ato's eyes without flinching.

"Ever since my mother died at Gangplank's hands, I swore I would never become like him. I will take over Bilgewater. I will prove Gangplank's failure, that everything he did was wrong."

"I'm glad I could help," Mr. Ato said, releasing her and turning to scratch his head.

"My apologies, Mr. Ato, Mr. Ryze. I was too hasty before. Revenge against Gangplank requires more planning."

"Even without the 'Leviathan', Gangplank is still the most powerful force in Bilgewater. Any oversight could cost us our lives."

"It's good that you can think this way," Ryze said with a smile.

"I also suggest that the 'Leviathan' cannot be sailed back to Bilgewater. We need to find another harbor to dock it," Mr. Ato added.

"The ship that was tracking us approached here to observe during the recent engagement."

"After discovering the situation here, they left quickly. I didn't stop them, so Gangplank must already know about the loss of the 'Leviathan'."

"I can imagine how furious he must be," Sarah felt delighted. She was happy to do anything that would make Gangplank uncomfortable.

"He will definitely strengthen his defenses. When the 'Leviathan' returns to Bilgewater, it will be time for your decisive battle. We haven't reached that point yet, and you are not fully prepared, so you cannot go to war."

"Very reasonable advice," Sarah agreed.

"We are not yet familiar with fighting with the 'Leviathan', but where can we find a suitable port? This ship is too large, and not many ports in Bilgewater can accommodate such a big vessel."

"It definitely can't be Noxus," Mr. Ato shrugged.

"Gangplank stole it from them in the first place. Docking it in Noxus would be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. It can't be too far from Bilgewater either, and we still need a supply point. The requirements are too many..."

Where should it be docked? Mr. Ato began to ponder seriously.
