Well, there wasn't much to go on like this. Just 'waiting' as it seemed: Luke gave a nod to the Scopemon, as Iko already moved to occupy one of the seats near the bow. It seemed like standard affair: listen to the captain, don't pick any fights like the Mikemon did earlier, and everything would turn out as fine as it could be!
Hopefully, at least. It wasn't entirely clear that this first group was listening all that closely, until he asked for everyone to say what they can do. The three gave a quick nod to each-other, Mikemon taking the lead:
"You can rely on me as an emergency medic. I'm also able to see data through walls and fog, so I'll be taking to the bow once we get closer."
Iko followed: "Um, my element is shadow-fire. If any part of the ship catches fire, I can use that to stifle the flames. Other than that, just rely on me to hit stuff."
Finally, Luke: "Electrical engineer. I know enough to fix the motor if it gives out, so unless the ship gets torn apart, I can keep us going."
Well, two out of three for usefulness wasn't bad! Iko sighed - the boat definitely wasn't his element.

Oboro could certainly relate to Iko's plight of the boat being out of his element. Being on the open sea in general was terrifying to him. He quickly found a seat and attempted to calm himself down.
Gomamon, meanwhile, was more than happy to speak for the both of them. "I'd probably be best suited to combat in the water if we absolutely needed. Oboro and I have recently succeeded in reaching Ultimate level, so hopefully that'll be a good source of strength." However, if the water itself was corrupted, Gomamon worried that he'd be hard-pressed to actually get in and duke it out with opponents without it being hazardous to his own health.

"I'm more or less good at healing and making people hit harder. Oh, I also scream. Don't think I've got any elements, however..."
Coolmon was actually very unsure. She had very seriously just taken to staring off the side of the boat during the long ride. "...I can't go above Rookie, though. Not yet, at least...So, please excuse any shortcomings I exhibit on the trip, okay? Uhhh...I think I can do most tasks if I'm asked to, so don't hesitate, okay, captain?"
Coolmon had a bad feeling encroaching upon herself and it...was just that. Bad. Yet, she did feel like the group was capable in some manner or form.
...Right?

"I'm pretty smart, a bit of an idea guy, and could probably help out with some scouting if needed." Timothy rested against the railing of the ship as they approached. He'd rather have his few final moments of relaxation before a war breaks out.
"I can gather plants and pick apart the poisonous ones and not-so poisonous ones if that's needed. Probably won't be though. So I'm mainly a heavy hitter in combat." Bibi crossed her wings, and paced around, ready to get started.
Faluo stood rather still, move up to the bow of the ship as he spoke, "I'm quick, silent, and a bit of a trickster in combat." With that, he looked over the bow, waiting for their approach.

The captain issued his order loud and clear. He ordered the human and the Digimon to speak out what their capabilities are. Tetsu shrugged. "I think I could do a bit of martial arts. At most only for child stage though, so if there's one going onboard, I think I can handle it. Don't expect too much though."
"I got some barriers," Gryz answered "and some long range attack. I also can heal a bit, but only in this form. When I evolve I think I lose them, or have another form of it, but aren't as directly helping. I think I also got some form of tolerance toward whatever this thing is. In case of somehow we entered the field, I think I'll be fine... unless of course, there's a difference in typing of the data between the one in the shrine and the one here. Other than that... let's see, I've reached Perfect stage, but would rather not use it before we get to the big ship. That one is a bit tricky to use... Mainly because the weight and the way I have to use it... But in that form I can give better coverage. I can stop enemies from moving and gives stronger barrier... anything else?"
If there is none, he'll await for the orders. Hopefully this time around there won't be any problems...

Scopemon seemed satisfied with the abilities of the crew. Doctor, Fire control, Electrician, Diver, Healer, Air patrol, Planner, Martial artist, and defensive barrier specialist. "Excellent. Well then. Navigator, how long until we're expected to arrive in the area?"
"About half an hour on this speed and bearing, Captain" said a Strabimon shortly afterward. There was little to do afterward but wait that period of time.
However... about 20 minutes later, Scopemon frowned as he looked through one of his sightglasses to the horizon ahead. It chilled him to the bone.
"The sea... it's wrong" he muttered. The sea around them for the time being was as blue as the sky, but beyond that... it was black as night, as though there was a catastrophic oil spill. It showed the looming danger ahead.
"Should we slow, Captain?" the helmsmon asked, also seeing the water ahead and looked worried.
"Slow to one third once we reach the black water" Scopemon ordered. For the time being, they came closer and closer, the black water filling the entirety of the sea ahead, all until they finally reached the perimeter. There, the Chutzpah slowed, and they crossed the barrier.
"...ye gods" Scopemon remarked, walking out on deck and looking at the side. To his surprise, the water immediately around the boat remained blue, but a few feet out, it was dark as night. But... why? It was like something on the boat was repelling it.
"Well, we're here now, we don't seem to be getting any signs of damage as happened with other ships..." he said. "Engine two thirds, continue forward".
He considered asking Bibi and Faluo to evolve and be their eyes in the sky, but no, that would be too risky. They could be shot down by whatever was out there. They would simply have to proceed with caution. But... what was repelling the water? What was it about this ship that was doing this?
He wondered if it was something to do with the humans.
Then, all of a sudden, the black water next to the ship erupted like a geyser. That was an enemy shot! But where from?
"Enemy contact sighted!" one of the ship watchmons reported. "To the southwest! Distance 10 miles! It's not moving, captain"
"Alright, time to earn our pay! All ahead full!" Scopemon ordered. "Right, everyone, time to take a good look at that ship! Make a zig-zag pattern, helm. Gryz, better get up on the bow, show us what kind of barriers you have. Everyone else, up on deck, let's see if we can intercept these shots!"
Enemy contact: ?
Level: ?
A long range cannon shot has been fired on the ship, but missed. To battle stations!

Thankfully, the group was surprisingly varied - even those who didn't think they had anything special had their own useful traits, such as the 'herbalist' also having wings to spot from above! Hearing the Strabimon's estimate, the Mikemon took to the bow, keeping his eyes trailed forward, as Luke and Iko kept more or less out of the way. For a good twenty minutes, nothing eventful would occur...
... Though, the approaching black water was a concern soon enough. "Let's see..." Idly, the Mikemon focused his eyes forward, trying to get a gauge for how 'messed up' the data in the water was before them. Was it proper corruption, or was it simply re-programmed a different way? At the very least, it didn't seem to eat away at the boat itself. Though, that might have been because the corrupted water seemed to part away from them.
"Hm?" Iko noticed that much, with a glance over the side. "Yo, Captain, we have something on-board that's warding that away? If not, then I'd wager there's something under the water trying to get at us."
Wasn't that a chilling thought? Then again, maybe it was something else entirely - if it was from below, then why would they fire a projectile through the air? "Tch! Can't do much else about it!" Iko lacked any ranged ability that would be useful here in his Champion form: drawing his Digivice, a golden light enveloped the wolf, a golden set of armor locking around his frame. There, Iko stood at the ready: should he get a good sight of any further projectile, a white beam of energy would propel itself from his helmet to meet it midway!
Mikemon, on the other hand, kept closer to the center of the ship. Better to be out of the line of fire, if he was not going to be able to provide on the defensive front!
Log:
Iko readies 'Lunar Ray' to use defensively: "'A slit opens in Iko's helmet, revealing the half-moon sigil on his forehead, energy briefly charging before being sent out as a white ray of energy. Simple, effective ranged attack."

Well, they had been set upon already! How precarious. See, the Cutemon didn't necessarily have a lot in the way of ranged attacks, so there wasn't a lot she could really do...Wait.
...What about the on-board armaments? Like that deck gun...Hm.
She scrambled over to it to take cover/man it. She wasn't gonna fire anything, not yet, but she was effectively useless unless someone got hurt!
...How frustrating. Being useless unless someone's...wounded.
Wouldn't anyone want to change that?

Bibi and Faluo sprang into action, both digivolving to Aquilamon and Peckmon in a moment's notice. They got the order to intercept shots after the ship was almost hit and that's what they would do. Bibi landed at the very front of the ship and opened fire, "Wave Laser!" She then started repeatedly firing lasers at any other incoming shots.
Faluo stood next to Bibi, he could possibly hit a lot of the closer ones easily given his abilities. "Metal Star!" He started unleashing a barrage of ninja stars upon the incoming shots that got past all the attacks coming at them.
Timothy couldn't do much given his current stance of being only human, so he was forced to take cover and hope for the best. Unlucky for him, the best wasn't saying much when you're fleshy and easily squishable.

Oboro clutched tightly onto his Crest as the battle started. With a faint purple glow, it seemed to calm him down like it had back on the island where he first found it. For the time being, the Crest could serve as a crutch to get Oboro over his fear of water, but it certainly wasn't a sustainable solution. "All right!" the boy shouted. "Let's get this done!" He grabbed his Digivice and held it up, preparing Gomamon for evolution. "Gomamon Digivolve to...Ikkakumon!"The giant walrus Digimon finally made his appearance. Oboro didn't seem to want to use the Crest to Digivolve to Ultimate, which was probably for the best. No matter his intentions, using the form this early would be bad for later stamina. For now, the two stood ready for battle.

If Tetsu have a way to describe the current situation...
"...Strange," he would comment. That's exactly how the captain felt too apparently, but that's normal considering how they're corrupted area, but something about the ship repelling the effect of the water. Slowly, he took out his digivice. Could this be the cause? Or there is something else? Gryz pat his shoulder as a sign that he'll go to the bow, following the captain's order. Tetsu nodded in reply.
Gryz slammed his palms together. "Wall of Fortitude!" he cried out the name of the technique. Wall of earth immediately rose from the depth of the sea, corrupted as it is, yet at the same time seem to be affected by the bear's power enough for it to bend to his will.
"A bit of warning, this type of shield unfortunately only will hold for a short moment before I need some cooldown until i can summon it again, but I can meet some of their attack with my own," Gryz would say. "In case of there are other enemy, please help me find them then I can hit it with Earth Lance or Titan's Fang. The former are like projectiles, but the latter can encase the enemy, then we can strike it."
The wind... it somehow felt a bit different. Something in Gryz was seem to resonate with the corruption on the air. It doesn't really affect him in a way that made him to be berserk, but once again he felt so eerily at home. He shook the feeling on his gut and decided to focus on the task on hand. Just in case, he readied himself for more attack.
The rest already made their move. He hope they'd at least would hit and reveal the enemy's location, otherwise this going to be a drag...

Scopemon glanced at Iko, nodded, then turned to a nearby crewmate. "Anything on Sonar?" he asked them. The digimon listened in carefully, but shook his head. "Try active" Scopemon instructed further. There was some monentary pinging noises that were shot through the water under the boat, but no responses. "Hmm. Odd. Something on board must be warding off the corruption".
Soon enough, the crew of the ship were at their battle stations. "...Might want to move to the center of the boat, big guy" Scopemon instructed Ikkakumon. Having both him and Gryz on the bow might make the Chutzpah's balance off.
As they approached the enemy ship in the distance they were shot at again, the fire accurate and deadly. But with everyone's active defenses, plus some fancy steering from the helm, the Chutzpah managed to get through the withering defensive fire, until they could clearly see the ship in front of them.
"What in the world...?" Scopemon asked, not believing his eyes. "That's a bloody galleon!" he exclaimed. Indeed, just ahead of them was a large wooden ship with its sails tied up, seemingly at anchor. And flying from the main mast was a threatening black flag, decorated with a white skull over red crossbones.
This made no sense to Scopemon. How could such a battered old ship be such a threat? Especially to the Chutzpah, which had he not hired the extra crew to help intercept the incoming projectiles, would probably be headed to the bottom now.
"Well, time to fire back!" he said, glancing at the deck gun. He noticed that Coolmon was upon it. "You a good shot there, miss?" he asked her. "If you are, put a shell in that ship!"
They were now within firing range of the enemy ship. But could they get through? Scopemon noted that an eerie dark aura seemed to be surrounding the enemy ship.
Everyone's defensive techniques managed to prevent the Chutzpah receiving damage. You're now within firing range of the enemy.
Enemy Contact: ?
Level: ?

Curse this confined space!
It was good news, at least, that the waters changing color wasn't due to anything beneath the waves - but that just left the big, obvious warship that floated in front of them. It was so jarring and thematic, that it would have been comedic... but unfortunately, the onslaught of iron made it quite a bit more difficult to find the humor. Fortunately, though, they would manage to cut their way through, and have at least one good shot at the enemy. Anchored down, that left one option:
"Focus the cannons!" Iko's remark was met with the use of his Lunar Ray, a white beam of energy careening right for one of those metallic threats. Mikemon steadied himself behind the Ikkakumon, waiting for his chance to board.
Luke, meanwhile, moved up to Coolmon's position. "He's right, go ahead and pull the trigger. I'll brace it if it starts going off-target!

Ikkakumon was concerned that Oboro wouldn't be able to handle himself on this mission, but the Crest of Ardor seemed to be working its magic and calming him down in the face of his greatest fear. The young Tamer looked to his Digimon and nodded, not really needing to say much. Ikkakumon quickly turned back to the task at hand and got ready for battle. "Harpoon Torpedo!" he shouted, shooting a torpedo at the enemy ship.
Oboro, meanwhile, looked toward Tetsu, wondering if he'd be alright with working together after last time. He wasn't sure how things would go between the two of them, since they hadn't seen each other since Gryz's corruption had managed to get the better of him.

It was time. This ship's time was up, and her time was now. They probably could see her but her time was now. Coolmon noted they did seem close enough to open fire, and thus...She started the process of aiming the deck gun accordingly. Luke's aid with the device helped her make sure it was on target. "Thank you!"
Coolmon herself didn't quite have a nice feeling about her at present on account of the eerieness...But that would hopefully pass if firing the gun actually, well, worked, y'know? Plus, the added reassurance of someone else aiding with the gun made it all the more...well. She felt okay with this.
Coolmon pulled the trigger.
