"Dawnwatch Rock!? Isn't it the place I been with the Lieutenant Marbes? Or maybe I should called him betrayer Sebram now." Derrick thinks in mind.
Standing at the dock, he is waiting for the Commander Abigail to arrive. While waiting, he look at the vendors around, then his eyes fell on a fisherman.
"Ah! That's a really big Blue Devil! Seems like today we're in luck." The fisherman said.
"Mister, why would you fish at the dock but not in the ocean? Wouldn't it be worse to fish near the coast?" he asked.
.
The fisherman laughed out "Hah, what do you even know about fishing. Who says that in the middle of ocean have the most fishes? Ever heard of the white eyes?"
"White eyes? a person name?"
"See, you clearly have no clue. White eyes are the mutated giant red sharks lurking around the seas. They origin from the forbidden dark seas, no one know how did they survived and become a creature with monstrosity."
Derrick was shocked "I get it now! Because of the white eyes, the small fishes will stay at the shores rather than the middle of the ocean. Thus, you are catching out the fishes that escape the eyes! "
"I liked your humor, youngster. Overall, I see you are a new recruit here, since you are the only one willing to talk with me, I will pass this rod to you. " Fisherman gladly said.
"Are you for real? I don't even know you and you are giving me your own rod?" Derrick confused.
"Yes, just take this little one. I believe you will need it one day." Once spoken, he released the fish from his bucket into the ocean and toss it to Derrick.
Derrick watch him walk further and further away, then look on the fishing rod he had given.
It is a wooden rod with metal reinforced yet somehow still looking fresh. Derrick then see the fisherman for the last time, but this time he heard the fisherman's shout.
"Remember! A fisherman without a rod is a man, a rod without a fisherman is a stick!"
