well then,

Levi doesn't deign to dress up for the mission. In fact, he chooses to wear casual clothes rather than his nice uniform (though honestly, some of his ideas of casual clothes isn't too far off from pirate aesthetic), though he does have his gear on, and he is, in fact, sporting an eyepatch.

Not one from the research center, though. It seems to be a spare one of Hange's (of course thoroughly disinfected), or at least it looks the same. Levi isn't too happy about it, but after accidentally poking himself in the eye with a teaspoon once or twice thanks to his new blind spot, he figured it's probably best to cover it when there's a chance he'll have to do battle.

For now, he's taken over steering, as it seems Eren prefers working the cannons (it may or may not be a bad decision, considering Eren is the only one who has a license for piloting any kind of ship), but so far they were sailing into the lake without much issue.

Until, that is, an empty-looking ship starts heading toward them, perhaps intending to board or simply ram their smaller boat. There may be some locals sailing with them, in which case they probably urgently unroll more sail for speed, while Levi struggles turning the giant unwieldy wheel so the damned ghosts can eat some lead.

That's right, he can bloody see them. It doesn't matter until they have to actually fight them, though; as long as they can destroy the ship, that should be unnecessary.

"Aim for the sail pole," he instructs Eren, shattering any illusion that they actually know shit about ships, as the boat finally turns the way he wants it to, broadside cannons facing the approaching ghost ship.
