Waiting for something to happen was always a dry and dull affair. Except for the watchers tasked with scanning the surroundings, there was nothing else the pirates on the ship could do.

Harry was known as the 'little king' on the street where he lived. On a normal day, he would lead a band of kids to fight with another group from the next street.
