A loud call caught Luz's attention, causing her to turn her head. She ran in the direction from which it had come, whipping out her knife as she recognized Drake's voice. Clutching the blade, she burst through the foliage to see the young pirate, his leg bleeding, and a pink-haired woman who Luz didn't recognize. She decided to distract the mermaid and give her crewmate a chance to escape.
