If only he also didn't want to disappoint Levi in general. (He was very disappointed by the genocide, just saying.) At least it's something, though, and for their current situation, it'll do.

There are shapes under the fallen enemy sail, something either of them could shoot at with a gun, but it's too far away -- or at least that's what Levi thinks, as he's only aware of the limitations of weapons from their own world.

Eren flubs the first shot (okay, it's better than nothing), but he seems to want to keep trying. They're not really on a time limit here, so...

"Go ahead," he calls back. "I'm bringing us in."

Which is probably not the best idea, especially with a ship they want to sink, but Levi's argument is that it will surely be easier to hit and cripple that vessel from closer by! So as they sail past the ghost ship and start getting further away from it, he puts his weight on the wheel once again, turning the ship to continue circling their target.

He doesn't quite hit an incoming wave the right way and it pours over the deck, washing a few loose crates overboard. All the crew, luckily, seem to have managed to grab onto something in time to avoid that fate.
