(At the execution ground.)
SKYE
I refuse to be a pirate. Pirates are infamous for pillaging villages and islands.
RYUJIN
Well, I'm not that kind of pirate. I'm the kind that goes on adventure.
SKYE
That's not enough to convince to join you. Hey, could you pass me the dumplings that are on the ground.
RYUJIN
If I give you…then will you join me?
SKYE
That's playing dirty!
RYUJIN
Here, have some.
(He feeds her the dumplings that are on the floor.)
SKYE
It's delicious.
RYUJIN
Yeah. The girl and her mother are excellent chefs.
SKYE
Why do you want me to join your crew?
RYUJIN
It's because I heard that you're a swordswoman and it made me to be attracted to you.
SKYE
(Her face turns red.)
Eh?!
RYUJIN
Anyways, where are your swords?
SKYE
You're going to get my swords?
RYUJIN
Yeah. Because you're going to be my 1st mate. And I won't take no for an answer.
SKYE
You…?! They're in the fortress.
RYUJIN
Okay.
(He heads to the opposite direction.)
SKYE
Where are you going?! It's at the right not at the left.
RYUJIN
Oh right.
(He heads to the fortress.)
(Inside the fortress. Henry Morgens the Marine commander is having a talk with some marine officers.)
HENRY
This is some serious situation fellas. How can you let one measly thief steal the map to the Blue line?
MARINE OFFICER
The thief was a clever one. She got away before we could catch her.
MARINE OFFICER 2
Not to mention that she has a gift.
HENRY
What elemental power was it?
MARINE OFFICER 2
Hydro.
HENRY
(His iron axe cuts his desk in half.)
That's no excuse for you not stop her from getting away! This would put us marines to shame! Do you know what pirate she's working for?!
(They shake their heads.)
(The door opens as Johnnie enters the room.)
HENRY
What the fuck do you want, Johnnie?
JOHNNIE
Some rookie pirate kicked me in the face. And I wanted you to go and teach him a lesson.
HENRY
Goddamnit Johnnie! I told you to fight your battles like a man! If you come to me whining again… I'll fucking end your life!
(Suddenly, Ryujin appears and breaks the windows kicking Henry in the process.)
JOHNNIE
It's him! How did he get through the window?! It's the 6th floor!
RYUJIN
I jumped.
JOHNNIE & THE MARINES
He jumped?! What is he a monster?!
RYUJIN
Do you guys know where Skye's swords are?
JOHNNIE
What are you waiting for?! Shoot him down!
(The marines aim their rifles at him and start shooting.)
RYUJIN
This is getting me nowhere.
(He dodges the bullets and grabs Johnnie.)
MARINE OFFICER
Hold your fire! We don't want hurt the commander's son.
RYUJIN
They stopped firing. Looks like you were an important guy Mushroom head.
JOHNNIE
Of course I am! I'm the Great Henry Morgen's son. And who the hell are you calling Mushroom head?
(He rushes outside carrying Johnnie.)
RYUJIN
From now on you'll be my guide.
JOHNNIE
Like hell, I'll be your guide!
RYUJIN
Tell me where Skye's swords are or I'll punch your face.
JOHNNIE
Okay. They're in my room.
RYUJIN
Where's your room?
JOHNNIE
To the right.
(Ryujin heads left.)
JOHNNIE
I just told you right! Why are you going left?!
RYUJIN
My bad.
(Meanwhile, Tenda tries to free Skye.)
TENDA
I think you should join Ryujin.
SKYE
Why are you telling me that? I've no obligation in becoming a pirate.
TENDA
He's not going to be some ordinary pirate. He's a man that's going to conquer the Blue line and claim the title as the god of pirates.
SKYE
…!
