He will fuck this ship up one way or another, it doesn't matter if he feels like he's fifteen and raw again. He still has the knowledge, even if he doesn't have the strength to back it up. Kitetsu can block the center for them, while he concentrates on using the other two swords to fend off attacks from his side. Blocking is all he can manage for now, and it pisses him off to no end.]

I'll take any ideas you got, cook.
