"Wait, you have a sister!?" the three bellowed as they were shocked by this revelation.

"Oh, you didn't tell your crew?" Jacky asked as she approached her little brother.

"Well, yes, since I don't think it's necessary. In any case, let us sell our goods first and exchange our haul before we catch up. We need to go immediately as this town is full of bounty hunters." Thomas replied.

Jacky admitted that her brother has a point, and then, she accompanied them until they exchanged the treasure and sold the barrels. After doing all that, the Jack Pirates went back on their ship, including Jacky. The crew offered her rum, but she thanked and declined the offer, since she has already had one too many rums earlier. Samuel and Angelique are having some kind of déjà vu. Because it seems that they have met this woman before, they just don't quite remember how.

Jacky then realized that everyone is confused, so she went on to introduce herself to the crew of her little brother,

"My name is Jacqueline Jack, eldest sister of Thomas, pleasure to meet you." She introduced as she then bowed.

That is when the Morales siblings were hit by the realization like a raging storm.

"You're The Mutineer! The most wanted woman in Kenp! Notoriously known for her rebellious activities at Kenp, cause of the fall of 15 kingdoms in the Great Blue and—"

"Don't spoil the fun, navy soldier. I don't want to look that bad in front of my little brother. I may have a bounty of 1,200,000,000 Pendz, I still have my reason on why I pursued rebellion. In any case, I am here for my brother," she then looked at Thomas who was confused since he has never heard any of this, "Miss me?" Jacky followed.

Thomas never really knew the whole background of his sister, since she is very secretive. She arrived at the FishWoo town, the town where Thomas lives, when Thomas was 6 years old. It has been 5 years since his father has left him, and during those times, he is just learning about the hurtful truth of reality. It was January 15th back then, and there was a strong storm. And that night, a woman wearing a fury cloak entered the house he was staying in and then introduced herself as Jacky, the oldest sister of Thomas. And since then, Jacky stayed and trained her brother to become stronger so he can stand on his own feet. She taught her aura manipulation, swordsmanship and hand to hand combat, and many more fighting techniques. But their training just lasted for 2 and a half years. Since Jacky is a very busy person, she decided to leave Thomas for now with a promise,

"Promise you'll meet me out there someday, okay? I'll be waiting for you. Be strong until then." Jacky says.

Thomas was crying hard back then, as the only person who came that is his biological sister left him again. But Thomas made a vow back then that he would set sail someday and meet up with her, and this was the day that they have promised. Jacky was glad to see that her brother is doing well, especially when he is one of the most notorious pirates in Koes and considered as the super rookie of this sea. He has grown a lot, defeating a marine captain is a big deal. Since Jacky took 3 years until she can finally go toe to toe against a marine captain

"So, you have a 200,000,000 bounty now, and you are quite famous indeed. But you must be careful, Tom, a lot of eyes are on you right now. Not just pirates and the marines and navy. As in everyone, even us from the world rebels are considering on recruiting you, but I disagreed as you are more suited to become a pirate. But still, it seems that it is in our blood after all. The curiosity that drove us to sea, quite amazing." Jacky says.

The others then began to leave the two be as this is a private conversation. They would just have to wait until their talking is over, so that Thomas can give them their shares of money. The siblings had a long talk, and it was mostly Thomas telling the stories of the adventure he has made for now. He said that he can't wait to go to the Great Blue after this treasure. Jacky smiled, as she knew her brother was aiming for the treasure of Keaton too. However, she warned him to slow down, the treasure is not in Koes, but in Linp. She knows it, as someone from their army gained information about it.

"By the way, do you have a ship doctor?" Jacky asked.

"Glad you asked. I was about to hire someone in this island, but it seems impossible." Thomas answered.

"Thank goodness. I recommend someone I know. She is a great doctor, although she didn't work as an actual one. But she is one hell of a medical practitioner. She knows all kinds of medicines to almost all the sickness. So, go and get her, she will come, I think." Jacky suggested.

"So, where are we going to find this doctor?"

"Linp! She is from the Red Island, a red-light district haven. The only island in Linp where the government has no connection as it is being led by an underworld criminal organization. In any case, you'll find her there. Just go to a pub named ReelRed, ask for a dancer named Anji. Now, I have to go my little brother," Jacky then stretched her body as she is now about to leave.

But then, she remembered something,

"Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. Have you met mom?" Jacky asked.

Thomas shrugged, as he then asked the stupidest question a person could ever ask,

"We have a mother?" Thomas replied.

Jack snapped as she then smacked the head of his idiot brother, as he is always like this. As if he is oblivious in anything thrown at him,

"Of course, we have! What do you think, Edward was the only one who made us?! However, by the looks of it, she didn't meet you at all, even though she told me she did. That shitty woman." Jacky cursed.

Thomas was confused, as if that is really their mom, calling her shitty seems inappropriate. But Thomas is in no position to talk as he himself despises their father.

"You'll meet her at the entrance of the Great Blue. Detail about her would have to wait since I really have to go. So," Jacky then hugged her brother tightly and patted his back "Be strong and be careful, Thomas. I will be waiting for you at the Great Blue, okay? Bye!" she then jumped off the ship.

The crew followed her, and then they all saw her flying away, as her boons are flight and super strength. Thomas then smiled as it will be a while before he meets his sister again, but she is right, there is no need to rush it. Thomas then gathered his crew on the main deck as he will now give the payment of each member,

"The gold we exchanged have us earn 600,000,000 Pendz. And then, the 200 milk barrels we sold, since we got lucky and someone bought all of it for 5,000 Pendz, we earned, 1,000,000 Pendz. In total, we now have 700,000,000 Pendz." The crew gasped as they never expected it to be this many.

However, it still depends on the captain on how much is going to be divided to each of them,

"The sharing is going to be equal. What I receive is what you will get, what you got is what I receive. If you receive 2,000, then it will be the same as mine. But the thing is, we are only going to divide the more than 200 million for each of us as we need to buy food, rum, more bullets, and cannons and many more. Is everyone okay with that?" Thomas announced.

Everyone agreed, as Thomas will now start the division. Each of them received 11,100,000, which is a lot for some of them, but reasonable since there are only 22 of them on this ship. And now that the ship has more than 400 million Pendz left, Thomas and the others then went off to go shopping before they set sail.

***

After a few hours of shopping and drinking in pubs, the Jack Pirates returned to their ship and set sailed. While the others are stocking their stuff below the deck, William and Thomas are in front of the helm feeling the cold breeze,

"Where to now, captain?" William asked.

Thomas smirked,

"Linp! We'll be going to Red Island to meet someone!"

    After 3 days of travel, the Jack Pirates have now reached the boundaries of both Koes and Linp seas. And as they entered the new sea, there was a small island, and on that island was dozens of gallows, and on those gallows were the poor skeleton remains of the pirates that has been executed there. Then, there is this big sign board near the beach of the island, and it says,"Ye be warned, vile Pirates."Thomas then spats at sea, and so did the others, as this is what pirates do when they saw their fellow pirates hanged. That was made up by an infamous pirate, as a sign of respect to those who passed away. But it can be double meaning also.

    Meanwhile, at the island of lawlessness and pleasure, people were walking down the streets under the moon. It was a chaotic island. People are wobbling everywhere, fights are also everywhere, and women that are moaning are everywhere too. In other words, this island is a disaster. As the people were walking, one man was at the docks and was taking a leak. While he was peeing, he then saw two ships, one big one and on its right was a small one. He narrowed down his eyes to look closer as he is a bit tipsy himself, and that is where he saw it. A pirate flag flapping on the ship,"P-pirates!" the man yelled.He then ran back to town to alert the people. The people who were indulging in their lusts looked at the docks to see 2 pirate ships come ashore."The pirate flags say Jack. So, it should be safe to say that they are the Jack Pirates." Says a woman who then rearranged herself.Some other women began to fix themselves up. Because to other islands, pirate ships docking down their ports

    While drinking up in their rooms, Thomas can't help but notice how uncomfortable this girl is. She is supposed to be entertaining someone, and yet, she is just sitting there and was drinking booze. This just makes Thomas suspect more of her true identity. Since their personal information are classified, Thomas can't get anything from her as it would be too rude to force her to admit. As they drank, the others came back after a few minutes in private places of the pub. Thomas did not expect it, but it turns out, Henry got seduced too. Thomas laughed as Angelique scolded her brother as he is always like this, a womanizer. While Penny curses at Henry as she is telling that this is his goal all along, to find women out the seas. But Henry defended himself by saying that it was just all because of the alcohol and all, but then,"Alcohol? Oh, please. You only drank a single mug; don't tell me you're drunk after that? When you are one of the crew who always empties our rum supplies." William

    The next morning, all woke up in the Sailing Falcon and the Slooper of the Jack Pirates. Everyone has their heads throbbing because of the amount of rum they've consumed last night. Samuel and Henry couldn't even stand up because of the hangover. Thomas and the others such as William, Angelique, Penny, and Jeff stood at the main deck while having a cup of soup they made and was just relaxing. They were just laughing at how the others are puking at the starboard of the ship. They hade one too many drinks last night, not to mention the bill they received after drinking. It was a whopping 200,000 Pendz bill, and that includes everything. Smithy rose to the Falcon and went to get some soup. His head was also throbbing. As they sip their soups, William looked at Thomas,"What now? The girl is owned by Capone, we can't just—"Thomas then chuckled and looked back at William,"We're pirates, William. We plunder and we pilfer. A little bit of piracy and she will be our doctor. And besides, I k

    The next morning, everyone woke up and was getting ready for a big fight already. Rumors of a battle between Capone and the Jack Pirates have spread through town, that the bustling Red Island, has seemingly turned into a ghost town. No one dared to go outside, as they don't want to go out and be involved in this fiasco if it was true, which was the case as it is definitely true. Thomas came out of his cabin and examined the decks of the two ships, the ones at the sloop at the port of the Falcon in the harbor, Smithy and his crew are now preparing their guns for battle. And on the Sailing Falcon, everyone is also on the main deck and is either sharpening the weapons, checking the ammo and other battle stuff, some are scrubbing, but Jeff is nowhere to be seen. Thomas then went up to the helm that is above his cabin, and there he saw Jeff building something from scrap."What are you doing?" Thomas asked as he sipped on his coffee,"Oh, something that would be useful later. It is a weapon

    As Thomas approaches the impregnable fortress, Capone increased the defenses and decided to use his slaves as part of the barriers of defense, “Aren’t we overdoing it, sir?” Richard asked. Capone chuckled, “If you put it like that, then yes. However, we can never be too careful. This man has gained an infamous reputation in just a few weeks of being a pirate. Even the navy are keeping a close eye on him. He is a person which we cannot underestimate even though he is still a fucking rookie. Not to mention the fact that he is Edward Jack’s son.” Capone replied as he and his officers stood at the balcony. After a few more minutes, Thomas finally reached the gates of this fortress. And with the presence alone, he can tell that Capone has made his defenses to a degree that anyone that will try and dare to go through it think twice. But Thomas came here with all his guts, and he is not really scared of what is going to happen. Because saving Bonney is now his top priority, and since

No. Because making me a lab-rat when I was still 4 is something he calls fun.” The hybrid says.“So, if that’s the case.
