Reject the nereid and her advances. I don't have time for a nereid to drag me underwater in eternal pleasure when I'm busy saving the husbands of my crew and comrades back in the demon realms. My crew would rather me stay with them, so it's not like I'd be seduced or forcibly taken - I'm far from defenseless.

As for the Order battle? An entirely man-of-war navy is far from efficient. Have the turtle ships stay at the front line, slowly retreating to lure the Order ships as the frigates and junks move away, out of the Order's radius of vision, and back in to form at least a semi-circle, if not a full circle (depending on how many Order ships there are) around the Order ships. Then engage, with the man-of-war and turtle ships at the forefront tearing through the frontline, and the frigates and junks preventing any retreat or manouvering. Relatively easy pickings.

Once my career is over, I'll consider the prospect of a wife. Or if it won't take too much time from my naval endeavours. But otherwise? This would be a cold rejection, even if I love her. I know my duty, and have spent enough time around mamono to rationally think about the implications and consequences.
