Well, if I can figure out how to untether one island from the sea, perhaps I could free up both! I could build battlements around them and finally have a proper ship beneath my feet.

[Yes, he's advocating turning two islands into one boat. Sadly, this really only on the larger end of the sort of ships Motochika usually builds and not anything out of the ordinary for him at all.]

It would greatly increase our numbers as well!
