The swordsman watched a bit in awe, those his facial expression remained fairly stoic. Even in dealing with some fruit users, the ensign had never really gotten a chance to see a zoan in action. As MCPO Striggs shrunk down to the size and shape of an owl, The marine officer watched as she prepared to take flight, which led to an even more bizarre scene. His fellow ensign seemed to practically melt into an inky black puddle, watching as the puddle that was once Ensign Wallace seemingly slither onto the bird as she took off. He kept his gaze on the two of them as they shrunk in the distance, making their sojourn to the island to scout ahead.
In the few minutes that passed between that bizarre moment And the captain's arrival back on the main deck of the vessel, The marine samurai had done some final preparations for his own gear. He knew he had everything he needed and was ready to land on the beach and combat these criminals. And just in luck, as his commanding officer stepped out into the sun once more, just as he was finishing up. He watched the authoritative stance as she walked over, calling out his name as she approached the landing vessel.
After she stepped into the rowboat, the sarcastic swordsman followed, which then had the two of them accompanied by two additional marines. This was small for a landing party, even if it was due to the size of their vessel. With only Aluco and Wallace as possible back up, the marine officer felt that they had a lack of numbers on their side for this mission. He simply sighed as he pushed these thoughts down, remind himself that Claire was a captain for a reason, and it wasn't his place to question.
As the ensign mulled over his own personal thoughts, the small vessel was lowered into the water, the two marines with them now moving to steer and row the boat towards the shore. The horizon was now very clearly getting filled with the sight of land, as the resort island grew larger in view in front of them. "Captain Vaux, I can go ahead and rendevous with the other officers, if you'd like." Suriko had a newfound speed thanks to his training, always ready for a chance to give it some use.
