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 is threatening, but to the Red Island, pirates mean more money. And the higher the bounty the pirate has, the more the money they can earn.
"Lower the anchors! Furl the sails! We are disembarking!" Thomas ordered as he walked around the decks of the ship.
After securing their ships, they disembarked and walked down the town. Smithy warned everyone to stay alert, as this place is a place of lawlessness. Which means, anytime they can be robbed or killed. Wearing black cape his black cape over his white dress shirt and a red bandana tied around his right arm, along with his sword and two pistols on his waist, Thomas, and his crew of 47 people walked down the town, with the eyes are all on them. And then, all of a sudden, women or should they say prostitutes began approaching them. They wrapped their arms at Thomas as they tried to seduce the young pirate who is no way interested in them. They only have one goal here, to find a certain person.
"Hey, why don't you come to our pub and have some fun, darling?" says a woman with blonde hair as she flirts with Thomas.
"No, their pub is a mess. Come with me instead, and I will make you feel special all night long." Flirted another woman.
But to Thomas, all he can smell is the alcohol in their breaths.
"What did you say about our pub? Is it a mess, huh, whore?" cursed the blonde woman.
And that is when the fight of the two began. Some people around started betting on who is going to win. Meanwhile, Thomas and his crew just kept going, until they found this big and flashy pub,
"ReelRed Pub." says the sign.
"Men, let's go in." Thomas ordered as they all went in the big pub.
As they entered, the reek of alcohol can be smelled everywhere. Moaning was everywhere too, and it was just a mess. They walked in even further, and that is when a woman, all naked and have her breasts hanging out welcomed them,
"Welcome to RealRed Pub! Where all your lusts can be satisfied!" greeted the woman with pink hair.
Thomas then asked her on how many would fit in a single room, and the woman answered that only 15 people can fit in a single room. So, Thomas told his crew to group themselves into three, and he will be grouped with the third group who are 17. The woman reminded Thomas that only 15 can fit, but then, Thomas gave her 1,000 pendz and she just smiled and went on to guide the guests to the VIP rooms since they seem to be rich and all.
"Stick to the plan, ask information about the girl. And another, have some fun, you have money. We will meet outside the pub at 3 in the morning." Thomas told his crew and they all happily agreed.
Thomas is with William since William insisted on staying besides Thomas as there is no telling whether his captain will do such reckless things. And along them were Samuel, Smithy, and Henry. They then entered the VIP room. Inside was neat and luxurious. Just what anyone would expect in a VIP room,
"How much will this room cost?" Thomas asked the naked woman who William can't even bear to look at.
"20,000 Pendz per hour sir. And that excludes the drinks and the girls." The woman replied.
It is already 9 in the evening, so if they are to stay in here until 3, then they will be charged 120,000 Pendz, and it still doesn't include the drinks and all. Thomas agreed as he told his group that it is his treat. The woman then took their orders, and Thomas ordered a barrel of rum and some food that will cost 5,000 already. As the girl lists the orders down, she then looked back at Thomas,
"Girls, sir? Don't you want some girls to join your company?" the woman asked.
And Thomas almost forgot. That they won't be able to gather information without talking to someone. So, Thomas nodded and then the woman gave him the list of fine women including their pictures that are only available to special customers. Thomas was pissed as this, as no one deserves to be treated as some sort of buyable goods. But Thomas chose to stomach it and went to choose from the variety of girls. And then, he spotted this beautiful Black girl, with curly hair. There were no names in the menu, so Thomas just asked for that Black woman. And as everyone has made an order already, except for William who strongly refused to have a woman for him, just insisted on himself drinking booze. After a few minutes, the booze, the food, and the girls arrived, and they were all delivered to them. William was the first to drink, and everyone then began to having fun. A pirate's life indeed. As they were drinking and having fun while singing pirate songs, the Black woman who Thomas ordered was sitting in between Thomas and William at the middle. She was clinging on Thomas, but the young pirate wasn't even feeling anything, especially horniness. He may be a closet pervert, but he remains composed at such situations. But the woman is totally leading him to it. Thomas then cleared his throat and drank a whole mug of rum and chugged it down like a fish. The other thing that Thomas is proud of, is his alcohol tolerance. He can never be drunk that easily. And his tolerance just got stronger when he began his pirating since fresh water that can be drunk is limited while at sea, sailors tend to just drink some booze and left a choice to either thirst to death or drink booze. In any case, Thomas looked down at this gorgeous girl and did what he is supposed to do,
"So, do you know a girl named Anji?" and just by that the girl's eyes widened and was visibly shocked. "An acquaintance of mine told me that Anji is a dancer at this pub. So, you know who she is?" Thomas followed.
The girl then suddenly wolfed down a mug of rum and then stood up and pulled Thomas and led him out of the room. His crew were whistling as their captain got the first one. The girl then brought Thomas to an empty alley outside the pub,
"What do you need with Anji?" the girl asked.
"Well, my sister told me about her being a doctor and all. And since I need a doctor aboard my ship, I am here to recruit her. So, do you know who or where she is?" Thomas explained.
The girl then took a deep breath,
"Whoever that friend of yours is, she was right. Anji was once a dancer in our pub. But unfortunately, one day, she just suddenly disappeared after being taken home by a customer. Some says she was murdered and have her remains thrown into the depths of the sea. But no one really knows. So, it would be better to stop looking for her." The girl told Thomas.
Thomas sighed, but then the girl looked at him again,
"Who was your friend actually? Sister, you say. Who was it? Just curious, sorry for being so nosy." The girl asked.
Thomas then looked at her,
"My sister, Jacky." And that is when Thomas confirmed it.
The girl was shocked by the name and was just speechless. Thomas then grinned and then put his arms around the girl and led her back inside. And as they reached their room, it was just unbelievable. Even Samuel and Henry are missing and was probably in some place private to do their stuff. Thomas then told the girl to sit down, as he then stood by the entrance and drank some booze from his cup,
"So, they are going at it, huh? It hasn't even been an hour since we started, and yet," Thomas then chuckled.
He and William then locked eyes, and Thomas nodded a little, signaling William that he just found the person they are looking for. As the two began drinking again, Angelique and Penny stormed into their room, clearly pissed. It turns out that their room has turned into a fiasco, as Jeff and the others started doing it in front of them. Thomas and William laughed, but the two were pissed. And that is when Angelique asked about her big brother, only to find out that he is also going at it. The 4 just sat there with the Black woman and began drinking. Meanwhile, at the entrance of the pub, a group of men arrived. And at the center of the group was this muscular man and was smoking some tabaco.
"Good evening, sir! We have some special guests today, quite rich, they are, so we put them into the VIP room with some of our finest girls!" greeted the same blonde naked girl who welcomed the Jack Pirates.
The man then puffed out the smoke out his mouth,
"Ho. Really? I suppose they are the pirates who docked earlier." The man says and the woman nodded.
The man then smirked,
"Well, men, let us give the Jack Pirates a warm welcome."
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
With the battle already raging down in the mafia’s manor, the citizens of Red Island are watching the battle from afar through some kind of a television, it is a big screen. They are just shocked and terrified of what is happening. Blood and bodies are already everywhere, and the battle just began at least 10 minutes ago. It has been 10 minutes, and those 10 minutes are as brutal as those shown in recent wars in various kingdoms. It was just brutal, and it is something that is not supposed to be seen by the children. However, everyone is watching, even the infants cradling in their mothers’ arms are there, witnessing something that might be the cause of their liberation from the cruel and tyrant Capone, although he really isn’t the leader or mayor of this island. He assumed his power 13 years ago, and since then, his brutal leadership has led the island to be considered as one of the most dangerous islands in the whole world, and it is not something they are to be proud of. The people
With everything already taking place, no one is staying put, even the citizens. They can all hear the thunderous screams, clashes of swords, and explosions from afar. But that is nothing compared to what is happening on the battlefield. The screams of the people being killed, all of them had their loyalties to their boss, and yet, they don’t have the guts to die in the hands of their enemies. The Jack Pirates are in control of the battle with it comes to dealing with the small fries. However, the officers are a different story. Everyone is now bleeding after just an hour into the fight, and it is not something to be happy about. Because if they are struggling to even scratch their enemies, then their chance of winning will be slim. William is having a hard time fighting Richardson, and this is the first since his last battle. He can’t land anything on Richardson, and that is him also using his boon. “What, are you tired already? It’s embarrassing, you are even considered as the Vice-c
With the feeling of fear for the first time, the hybrid then felt the excitement surging through its veins. Its wings flapped wide, and the grin on its face became wider. “Thomas Jack, I’ll remember that name alright!” the hybrid screeched as it then launched forward for an attack. With a deep breath, Thomas stepped to his right and just swiftly avoided the attack of the hybrid. Earlier, because of uncertainty, Thomas was unable to avoid and become more agile. But right now, he is almost as light as a feather that is being blown by a wind. Every movement he makes, it was just so flawless, that the hybrid started getting sweaty and the exhaustion is now evident. With his previous intense battles, Thomas has learned a lot, and because of those battles…he became stronger. Parry…dodge…duck…jump…and slash. Finally, the hybrid got wounded by the blade of Thomas. “That sting, quite a sword you have there. I would like to add it to one of my talons!” the hybrid laughed. Now it all makes
“What do you mean the son of Capone? Our source—” “Your source would not know, of course. Bonney is young, she will not know all the secrets. Do you think that a man like Capone would only do heinous crimes against other people? 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. Why’d you still want to stick around your father after all the things he has done and keeps doing to you?” Thomas asked. “He’s my father—” “He may be your father, but he does not see you as his son.” “I can’t leave him. He is my father, which is why I must stay loyal!” “Being his son does not justify the fact that he made you into a monster!” Thomas argued. He feels sympathy for some reason. The one in front of him is a monster who has killed more than a hundred men at least, and yet, he feels pity. Because the person in front of him is blinded by fear and trauma, which makes him more of a monster because of it. His wrongful loyalty to
