After a successful trial voyage, the navy promptly officially commissioned the warship Hope. It was ultimately equipped with 8 cannons, four on each side, and 4 swivel guns, along with a crew of 50 sailors.

Considering Quik's relative expertise in naval affairs within the navy, and after observing him for some time without detecting any disloyalty, Paul approved his appointment as captain of the Hope. Quik's rank jumped several levels to acting captain.

Grateful and tearful, Quik spent several months in the navy and gradually discovered that Earl Grayman was not the kind of lord who was cruel and merciless, devouring people without leaving bones. He also began to develop thoughts of loyalty. Now, a great opportunity lay before him, and he was determined to seize it.

Leading his crew, Quik trained tirelessly every day, even sleeping on the ship, quickly becoming familiar with every inch of the new vessel.

After spending a few days in Port Frand, Paul planned to return to Alden Town. Before leaving, Austin briefed Paul and Schroder on his long-planned plan to encircle the pirates.
