Blackbeard isn't the strongest reader on the sea, but his mother taught him as a young boy, sneaking home books and passages from the estate she worked in to share with him. Maps, charters, treaties, all things he'd grown used to navigating as a Captain... no problem. A whole binder of information sounds exhausting, but he'd much rather have a full understanding of his situation than go in blind. There's a reason he's known as history's greatest tactician.

"Very well," he breathes, "Lead the way."
