The hustling crew of the Trout Shallowers and the guest Diamond eye's crew were sweating like pigs against the only table on the whole ship, drinking old tasteless rum and gnawing on withering away chicken bones that was the only source of food until they'd get to land.
"Did you hear?" A diamond eye's crew member said, lifting his glass to only twirl it in his hands blankly, "We're all gonna get paid by the time we get to shore."
Wide eyes stared at the diamond eye's crew member in awe, "Are you serious?" they asked with heavy hopes.
"How much?" One questioned.
"The whole chest that sits in front of the new captains' door whenever it gets drafty inside his cabin." The very same diamond eye's crew member stated, addressing his pointer finger at a chest that was propping a door open.
The crew was energized with happiness for the riches they were about to take,
each and every crew member were gossiping between themselves, diamond eye's and trout shallower alike.
The diamond's eye stood up, "I'll see how much profits we'll be making. " He said, approaching the chest with the eyes of the drinking pirates watching him.
Eagerly, he knelt down and opened the lid to roll his hands in the sea of gold coins beneath his fingertips; eventually his eyes closed while he zoned out.
But his day dreaming was interrupted by the crews gasps when Jack bent down to his ear and whispered, "Such mindless bravery you have could be useful to me one day, would you like my treasure?"
The diamonds eye was about to get up until Jack pushed his shoulder down, "I would!-but that wouldn't be right to them, Captain... " The diamonds eye told jack, watching his crew eye the two up suspiciously.
Jack looked to his crew too, he made a slight grin, "On my ship I will show you all two lessons, two very important lessons if you want to survive on my ship. " Jack said, lifting the diamonds to his feet as gold coins dropped from his fists, "Firstly, there is no harmony here. I as a form believer of survivor of the fitest, I'd like to change towards survivor of the richest. "
The trout shallowest chuckled with their captain.
"Everyone we are not on the diamonds eye ship anymore, allow your greed to pour from your fangs and sink into riches flesh like the animals God made us. " Jack said, patting the diamond eye's back, "This man certainly did, good for him! So I will reward him with the Royal treatment. What say you?"
The entire crew roared in agreement, so the diamond eye cracked a wide smile as he began to feel utter pride.
Jack waved Antonio over, "Antonio, a rowboat for this brave man. "
Antonio nodded without a second thought, "Yes, Captain. " He said, lowering a rowboat down but holding the rope to wait.
Jack lifted one side of the chest allowing the diamonds eye to lift the other as they set it in the rowboat, "There you are, my entire chest of treasure. "
Antonio helped the diamonds eye into the rowboats seat, "To row faster, have your back to the ship. " Antonio advisrd
"Absolutely right. Safe travels. " Jack added, helping Antonio lower the rowboat on top of the sea below.
The whole crew ran towards the edge of the ship to watch the man get settled, "Goodbye everyone!" The diamonds eye celebrated, turning his back to the ship and rowing off.
Jack reached for his gun but was out done when Antonio fired his ready gun at the ex crew member and hitting him perfectly; Antonio blew the smoke a way from his gun as he watched Jack cross his arms, "Did I disapprove you?"
"You did it. Now, retrieve my treasure for me with your gun right in my pocket, " Jack sighed, walking up his stairs to the wheel with the eyes of the crew on him.
Antonio walked up to put hid gun in Jack's pocket as told before diving off right there into the water below.
Jack scanned his crew members blankly, "Your second lesson as I've stated before, "
Antonio pulled himself onto the rowboat just before throwing the half alive diamonds eye into the sea, rowing behind the ship.
"Pirates are to be like animals; to pillage, rape and plunder is the way... But, understand some animals need to be put down just like the fool in the sea. " Jack told them, "You can survive, it isn't impossible. Under my supervision, we are the stoic rebellion ready to take down Silas the pirate King in Bermuda. "
The crew gasped until one stood forth. "That's suicide!" he managed to say just before Jack shot his foot to make him kneel.
Jack blew the smoke off his gun, "Sure, but with the sword Excalibur I will finally rise to become the true King of Pirates and misfits. One day, perhaps the King of England because that is where our course lies. " He stated, putting a trout swallower's
hands on the wheel, "There in England we will collect new crew members and wives just to prove my campaign worthy. "
The crew began to murmur with Jack's permission until they all nodded and said, "Yes, Captain!"
Jack pulled down his red hat over his eyes, "Very good. Now, to England!"
