It wasn't everyday that Asher had received promotions. He had spent quite awhile in the formal marine ranks before finally making the reigns of the admiral core. Sure he wasn't nothing but a Rear Admiral but it was a step in the right direction. He had an ambition though, it seemed it was time to start the wave towards the New Era, the Era of the young and heartless. Hopefully the powers that be could understand what Asher was doing and accept his movements as a sign of personal progression along with overall progression. Resting at the helm of the ship was Zel, with them was a group of Ensigns who wanted to prove their worth, little did they know Zed was probably the only one besides Asher who was actually going to live, that's if they didn't believe in the New Era. As for Asher he was in his quarters on the lower deck of the ship. Zed would begin to set sail as he was given means of travel to Enies Lobby, how Asher got one was simple, he was gifted one as a Rear Admiral.
