The Aether Armament battle above the sky temporarily didn't affect the actions of the people in the sea.
While steering the Ironclad Shark, Ian noticed that Yisen Gard had snapped out of his distracted state, and turned his head to ask, "Are you okay? What's going on, your uncle seems hell-bent on taking your life. Are you sure you haven't offended him before? You didn't, like, pee on him when you were a kid or something?"
"How is that possible!?"
Simple but effective, to rebuff Ian's nonsense, Yisen Gard immediately lifted his head and objected, "Uncle Pat has always been very kind to me, and I've been well-behaved since I was a child, never randomly... never..."
As he spoke, his tone fell again, "He was really very good to me... So why..."
"Indeed."
Narrowing his eyes, Ian had already locked on to Master Gossay and the Armor Suit with Spirit Energy—their locations were close to each other, making them relatively easy to find.
