Enel was the first to spot the little boat, but he had no intention of rescuing the girl aboard it.
Kuina noticed it too while practicing her slashes on deck.
"That girl looks like she needs help." Kuina prepared to rescue her.
Up on the lookout, Enel yawned. "Don't stick your nose into other people's business."
Kuina shook her head. "That depends on who needs help. We can just leave her on a nearby inhabited island."
As she spoke, Kuina jumped onto the deck railing.
Enel grumbled in annoyance. "You're always making trouble. Fine, get back here. This Thunder God will go."

He paused at the sight of the girl on deck. "Who's this girl?"
Enel said irritably, "Someone got softhearted and insisted on rescuing her."
Kuina didn't think she had done anything wrong. "She needed help. Besides, I only wanted to take her to an inhabited island."
Kaku said casually, "I think Kuina did nothing wrong. We're not pushovers. We can just leave her on an island."
"Fine, fine, fine." Enel couldn't be bothered to argue with them. "Then that's what we'll do. But let me make this clear: if anything troublesome happens, you two are taking the blame."
Shusuke glanced down from a second-floor window and remarked offhandedly, "She looks about seven or eight. Doesn't it strike you as strange that she's out at sea
