The crew of the dark pirates gathered in a spacious room on the uncharted island, a makeshift meeting place where they could discuss their next course of action.
previous day they found a island and decided to stop there.
There they find a small town, in which they have rented an entire rest house....
...
Prince sat at the head of a large wooden table, his eyes scanning the faces of his crewmates.
Kann, the vice captain, sat beside him, while James, Jack, Alex, and Lucy, the four commanders, and all the officers occupied seats around the table.
Prince cleared his throat, breaking the silence that had settled over the room.
"Thank you all for being here. We have reached this island, but our journey is far from over. We must now decide what our next steps will be."
jack leaned forward, his voice steady with determination.
"Captain, we need to rebuild our strength. This island provides us an opportunity to restock our supplies, repair our ship fully, and recruit new crew members. We should focus on fortifying our position and expanding our forces."
James, his piercing eyes reflecting a hint of skepticism, interjected,
"But Captain, there's a chance the navy could track us here eventually. We should prioritize establishing contacts and allies among other outlaw groups on the seas. Unity will be our greatest strength."
alex, known for his strategic thinking, nodded in agreement.
"I concur. We need to form alliances and gather intelligence on the navy's movements. We can't afford to be caught off guard again.Covert operations and information networks should be our priority."
Lucy, the crew's charismatic and persuasive member, chimed in,
"While I understand the importance of alliances, we should also consider gaining the favor of local communities. We can provide protection, resources, and support in exchange for their cooperation. A strong network of allies will serve us well in the long run."
kann, the astute and analytical lady, raised an eyebrow. "But how do we ensure that our intentions are genuine? We've built a reputation as dark pirates. Convincing others that we seek a different path won't be easy. We must find a way to prove ourselves and earn their trust."
"Any other thoughts? what about you my dear officers? please discuss "
The room buzzed with conflicting opinions as each crew member expressed their thoughts. Prince remained silent, absorbing their ideas, his mind racing with the weight of their choices.

Finally, he raised his hand, signaling for silence.
"Thank you, all of you, for sharing your perspectives. These are all valid considerations, and we must find a way to combine them into a cohesive plan."
Prince turned to jack. "You're right, Kann. Strengthening our forces and ensuring our survival is crucial. We'll focus on replenishing our supplies and recruiting new crew members."
He then looked at James. "But we mustn't neglect the power of unity. We'll reach out to other outlaw groups, establish contacts, and forge alliances for mutual protection."
Prince's gaze shifted to alex "alex, your focus on intelligence and covert operations is vital. We'll establish a network of spies and informants, gathering information on the navy's movements and weaknesses."
He then turned to lucy. "And lucy, your idea of gaining favor with local communities is essential. We'll demonstrate our willingness to protect and support them, proving that we've chosen a different path."
Lastly, Prince looked at kann. "kann, earning trust is not an easy task, but we'll work on it. Our actions will speak louder than words. We'll showcase our commitment to change and prove that we're not like the dark pirates of the past."
The crew members nodded in agreement, their initial skepticism replaced with a shared sense of purpose.
Prince rose from his seat, his voice firm. "We have our plan. Let's get to work, my friends. We'll rebuild our strength, and then make a comeback..."
Well...he forgot to say HE must make a comeback...or he will sooner or later die. And author knows if he will get a new reincarnation or not....
