'Did I say something wrong?' Robert thought.

Dan didn't say anything to Robert instead he turned his head to old Frank and asked him:

"You told no one about how the duration of the day has changed?"

"I didn't as you didn't tell me if I should keep it a secret or not, so I was staying silent while waiting from your orders" old Frank said.

"When we return release that news, let everyone in the gang know about it." Dan said, after all one of the only ways for him to make the other gangs leaders believe his words, was this argument about the duration of the day.

Then he turned his head toward Robert and said with a smile:

"Don't worry about it Robert it's just that the time of day has become two and half a time longer then before."

"A day becoming two and half a day longer? How can something like this be true..." Robert murmured to himself.

Even though he believed that his voice was soft and only he was able to hear it he still heard Dan say toward him:

"It's not that weird, after all weirder things has happened."

"What do you mean?" Robert said.

Even though he was the one who asked, old Frank and Barry both wanted to know what he meant.

"You will know what I mean when all the gangs leaders and the other crewmen are here." Dan said with a smile.

And then as if remembering something he added while looking at old Frank:

"Hey old Frank, where do you get the water from, drinking water I mean?"

Talking about all of that made him remember about one of the biggest problems which they would meet in their journey, after all even though they were going to be surrounded by water from all sides, drinking water was their biggest problems, the problem of food on the other hand wasn't pressuring as fish was everywhere in the ocean, and even though eating just fish for a long time can be called a bad diet its still acceptable and better then starving.

"We use wells for many things in our daily lives." old Frank answered.

"Wells?" Dan asked.

"Yes they were dug by us years ago, and the water in them is refreshing and nice."

"I believe that there are containers used to keep water in the gang right."

"Yes there are."

"Are they big can? they be brought here through the tunnel?"

"No they are way too big." old Frank said.

"What about the ships? There are containers on them right? How did you bring them here?" Dan asked, from their words he knew that the ships stay in the ocean for close to two weeks.

"The containers used on the ships were brought through the surface, and we lost some people while doing that." old Frank said while sighing.

"Then how much water are there in the ships." Randy asked with a frown on his face it seemed as if he noticed that problem after he heard Dan's words.

Old Frank found Dan's and Randy's interest with the water on the ships weird but he still answered:

"The water on each ship is enough to keep forty people alive for half a month"

"That's way too small... Even if we take the other containers from the other two ships, we will only have enough water for forty people to drink for a month and half." the second part of Dan's words was said in a small voice that only he Randy and Anie were able to hear.

"We can always bring more containers after the gr

eat migration starts." Any whispered.

"Not to mention the time we will be wasting, the weight that amount of water will put on the ships will make them even slower." Dan sighed as he whispered back.

"Oh right, didn't you say that, there are going to be crewmen here?" Randy asked, he didn't want to keep on thinking about such a headach, so he decided to leave it Dan to worry about.

His question reminded Dan about that; after all, he one eyed dragon gang had some crewmen of its own.

"You don't have to worry about that, they are where the ships are let's go there." it was Robert who talked instead of old Frank, after all, the crewmen of the one eyed dragon gang were under his control.

"How many crewmen does our gang have?" Dan asked.

He was quite interested in the one eyed dragon gang's crewmen, because even though he might give the crewmen of the other gangs a chance to choose if they wanted to join the ship he was going to take, the one eyed dragon gang crewmen won't have a chance like that, after all they were already under his control.

"We only have nine and they are quite young but I'm sure that if they get a chance to go through a few more rounds in the ocean, they will be able to move a ship on their own... With the help of some people of course." Robert said.

"But I never saw or heard anyone from the gang talk about the crewmen does they spend all their time here?" Anie asked.

"Yes they live here." Robert nodded his head

"Really? they live here?" Anie asked again in astonishment, even though she asked if they lived there in the beginning, she didn't expect that to be true, looking at the cave, she didn't find any reason which can would make anyone want to live in it, especially after she saw how most of the cave was under water.

"Yes they live in the ships, and they rarely leave them." Robert said with a smile, it was apparent that he quite liked Anie as he had been looking at her kindly since a while ago.

"Why would they want to live in the ships?" Randy asked.

"For some people leaving in those ships is way better then leaving in the underground base, After all this place was far from the one eyed dragon and the other blood power users, living here freely and peacefully is way better for them." Robert said while sighing, and either consciously or not he looked at Anie while he did that.

They then started walking through the cave, the cave was huge, it was lit using torches and as they walked Dan noticed that even though the entrance of the cave was closed to keep it hidden there was still a few holes in it which let light enter through them, it was then that Dan understood how Robert was able to know that the sun wasn't up yet.

They walked for a while before they saw a big platform made of wood, Robert got on top of it and the others followed him too, there stood a man that seemed to be in his late twenties, he had somehow of a worried face as he looked at the entrance of the cave, it was apparent that he was worried about the sun, he didn't even notice Dan and the others coming.

"Cooper" seeing how the man didn't notice them, Robert shouted his name.

The man was surprised but then he turned his head toward Robert and the others and said apologetically:

"Hello grandpa Robert, sorry I didn't notice you, you see the sun…"

"It's alright don't worry about it, go call the others here for me." Robert smiled kindly and said

.

"Ok" saying that Cooper turned and left the platform moving toward the ships.

A while later a group of nine people including Cooper stood atop the platform, and just as Robert said all the nine people were quite young, Cooper was the oldest of them all being in his late twenties, while their youngest was a boy who seemed to be in his late teens or early twenties, and he had a small body.

He seemed to be as big as Anie who had a weak body since young, Dan took a second look at that boy because of that but then he noticed something, so with a meaningful smile he turned his head toward Randy who was smiling too.

Failing to notice the abnormality between Dan and Randy Robert said to the nine people:

"you shouldn't worry about the sun, it's just that for some reason the day has gotten longer."

After calming them he turned to Dan and the others before saying proudly:

"This here is the crew of the one eyed dragon gang, as I said before even though they are still somehow young, they are great when it comes to ships, and you, this here is sir Dan while those two are miss Anie and the other is sir Randy, they beat the one eyed dragon and the other blood power users and took control of the gang."

Robert treated those nine as his student, and he cared a lot about them, so when Dan told him that he wanted to see the ships, he knew that he will also want to meet the crewmen of the gang so the day before, he came to them and told them about what to do and how to act.

"They seem promising... But I really didn't expect for this crew to have a woman among them." Dan said while smiling.

Dan's word made everyone there except Randy surprised. The nine crewmen and Robert!s faces turned pale and that small crewman even took two steps back as his face turned pale with fright.

"It seems that my guess was right." Dan said.

That's right, he only said that as a guess he wasn't sure of what he said, so he decided to ask that question when no one expected it, who would have known that it was true and that he really guessed it right.

At first he looked at that small crewman because he found him way to small and the others behavior around him weird, but as he did, he noticed somethings.

First, the other crewmen were trying to hide him behind them as if they didn't want Dan to notice him, the other thing is that even though the temperature inside the cave was quite high the small crewman was wearing a scarf around his neck, and the last thing was how his face was covered with some ash and other similar stuff, while the other crewmen's faces weren't covered as his.

All those made Dan suspicious, and he decided to try his luck, and it seemed that even Randy felt that something was wrong, it's just that he didn't say anything.

After he heard Dan's words Robert's face become pale, after the ages changed and the civilization fall because of dragons, all the rules disappeared and woman were of the ones that suffered the most in this new world.

They lived under the mercy of the strong, and in this new world, at most times to be strong you have to be heartless, and he also knows that among woman those that suffered the most were pretty woman, remembering how beautiful little Ru was, he felt his heart being destroyed as he watched Dan.

Little Ru was suffering at that moment, she heard a lot about how some woman were treated by the one eyed dragon and his other followers, and even though the one eyed dragon had died, she still felt worried about meeting Dan and the others

Grandpa Robert Cooper and the others wanted to hide her and meet Dan on their own, but then they remembered that everyone in the gang knew that nine people lived in the ships, and that the gang have nine young sailors, so they just did their best to change her looks and hide anything that could show her true identity.

Yet still in the end Dan was able to see through her easily giving her and the others a shock.
