A pirate? [ pirate doctor??? actually no that makes perfect sense because scurvy. ] That's cool. It must be weird not to be around any kind of water, though, right?
[ he'll gesture to how one looks like on his wrist. kind of like a watch with three faces and little needles. you're canon familiar enough zia!!! ]
Understanding how the tide, the moon, and the stars all are important too but to be able to find next island can only be done with a log pose. The needles inside of them will point in the direction of the next island and will need time to reset before being able to move on.
I'm not entirely sure of the finer details of how a log pose works, but it does latch on the magnetic waves special to each island. It's the navigator's job to decide which island to go to. Some islands have a "reset" of a few hours where others might have years.
It's the navigator's job to decide which island to pick.
[ he means this for both parts of what she has said. ]
It's also why a good navigator is so important where I'm from; some pirates have been known to stoop as low as to steal one from another crew. Fortunately I don't have to worry about that much, but I've heard stories.
First mate and your navigator? I bet. [ she looks at the stars again ] People must be so surprised when they see a polar bear on a pirate ship, though.

Island in my world are unique where you can't immediately navigate away from them safely after reaching it.

[ grace is comparing this to a compass, because she does not know one piece bullshit, but she knows how compass works? ]

Yeah, exactly that.

[ she seems to genuinely think so, tilting her head in thought ]
Though being stuck in one place for years because they made the wrong choice sounds like a drag.

His name is Bepo and I'd consider him my first mate, so if you can imagine, he's very important to my crew.

[ sure, law will join her and looking at the stars. none of them make sense to him but it's not a bad view. ]
The further you explore the oceans the weirder things you see. As you might be able to guess.
