Surely the best way to avoid the cat leaving your boat is not to have one on it in the first place?

Depending on the local situation, he would either have to steal the sword from the Humakti (symbolising the power of Death), or from somewhere/someone in the Marsh (symbolising nicking it from (Vivamort?) it's guardian).
