"Oh thank the gods you're here Percy," William said visibly relieved, "you have got to get your brother under control!"
"Brother?" Percy asked lifting his eyebrow. The men slowly parted giving Percy space to move forward. There standing in front of Mera's water tank was a young man with green skin and black hair like seaweed ties back in a pony tail. He wore greek style armour that was studded with pearls and wielded a trident, which he was now pointing at all the sailors.
Percy sighed, he didn't even need to Observe the man to know who it was. "Hello Triton," Percy said walking up to the god, "you took long enough."
Triton looked down at Percy and huffed, "I ran into trouble in the sea of monsters. But I am here now, and I come to find these-these ruffians surrounding my daughter?! She is your niece, and you just let these people take care of her while your off gods know where?"
"Father please you are making a scene" Mera said only for Triton to ignore her plea.
Percy sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, "if you had waited with dad you would have heard me tell how I still had a quest to finish and how I was leaving Mera without good capable men, men who helped save her in the first place. Something you failed to do if I recall."
"Oh gods he's doing it again!" Marc shouted as the rest of the crew laughed, "how does he always manage to piss powerfull people off?!"
Triton gritted his teeth, "you saved my daughter, that is true. Sight, fine demigod ask of me what you wish and let us be done with this unpleasant business."
Percy was ticked off, "who the fuck do you think you are?!"
"Percy please don't" Mera tried to reason this out only for Percy to ignore her also.
"You just come in here, start attacking everyone in sight and then act like we are your servants! Who the fuck do you think you are?"
Triton's eyes started to glow green, "I am Triton! Son of Poseidon and the God of the Navy!"
"Even with being all that you still failed to come to your daughter at the time of her need!"
"Why you little-"
"ENOUGH!" Mera shouted out loud causing all the fighting to stop. Percy and Triton looked at the mermaid as slowly tears welled up in her eyes, "please stop. Father they saved me, they are my friends, the only ones I have left. Please don't harm them."
Triton immediately calmed down and rushed to his daughter's side pulling her into a hug, "I'm so sorry baby girl, I'm so sorry."
Percy looked down in shame, he let his anger get the better of him. He should have been thinking about Mera not showing up Triton. Just as Percy opened his mouth to apologize an Iris message appeared in front of him.
"What the-" Percy began when suddenly Clarisse's face appeared in the rainbow.
"Percy! So glad I could get to you!"
"Clarisse? Why are you calling me?"
"We need your help Percy."
"Are you guys alright?" Percy asked in surprise, "did something bad happen?"
Clarisse sighed, "a lot of bad things happened, but I'll tell you all that later. Right now we are stuck on Polyphemus's island Percy! The bald walking garbage can got us trapped inside it's cave and we can't get out. It took Annabeth and Nina as hostages along with Grover."
"Grover? What the fuck is Grover doing there?!" Percy exclaimed thinking back to his first best friend.
"Something about Pan, look Percy it's bad. Michael is injured and the only reason Polyphemus hasn't eaten us right now is because Grover is distracting him by dressing up as a female cyclops."
Percy raised an eyebrow and Clarisse shook her head, "I don't know. Maybe the goat likes dressing in drag or something."
Percy nodded, "okay I'll try to get there as fast as I can," Percy turned to Galen, "do you guys want to come with?"
Galen and the crew nodded immediately. "We need the fleece to save our captain, of course we're going."
Percy nodded, "how long till we get there?"
"Well the island is inside the sea of monsters. It would normally take a few days to get in there..."
"What about with me boosting out speed?" Percy asked.
"10 maybe 12 hours minimum. Provided something doesn't try and kill us."
"Shit, we might not last that long," Clarisse said causing PEecy to try and think up of different ways he could get there. He could fly, but he doubted Marcia could fly that long. Maybe he could ask his dad for a favour, get a turbo boost to the sailing. Yeah, yeah that might work-
"I will help you," Triton spoke up drawing everyone's attention to him, "it is the least I can do after you saved my daughter."
Percy nodded, "thanks Triton. How long do you think we would take to reach the island with you helping?"
"Half an hour."
Several crew members whistles in surprise. Percy's eyes widened comically, "wow, that's fast."
Triton nodded, "shall we begin?"
Percy nodded, "yeah," he turned to Clarisse, "hang tight war girl, I'm coming to help. Plus I got back up."
The daughter of Ares nodded and canceled the Iris message.
"Everyone grab onto something," Triton called out as he lifted his trident high up in the air causing an aura of power to explode out into the ship. Ropes moved quicker than a normal human eye could follow, but Percy could.
The ship was ready to sail in seconds and slowly the waters themselves pulled the boat out of the dock and into the open water. The moment the boat was in open water it exploded outwards causing a lot of sailors to lose their footing and fall down.
Percy watched Nassau slowly shrink away into nothing as the ship ripped across the ocean.
"And now we will leave you," Tritton said walking up to Percy. A spark of anger and loathing was still in Triton's eyes but it was covered up by gratitude, "thank you Jackson, for saving my daughter."
Percy nodded, "not a problem. Thanks for the lift."
"Not a problem."
