(Ryujin and Vee are chained in wooden poles. There are pirates feasting on some food.)
RYUJIN
So… hungry.
VEE
Seriously, that's the only thing you are thinking of… Can you read the situation?
RYUJIN
I want to eat some food…
VEE
I give up.
(Suddenly someone walks to them. He's wearing a pirate hat and a coat. His name is Richie Captain of the Richie Pirates. His bounty is 15,000,000 Jewels.)
RICHIE
Well. Well. Well. Look do we have here…. a bunch of thieves trying to steal my map to the Blue line.
VEE
That map isn't yours. I stole it 1st so it's mine.
(Richie holds the map.)
RICHIE
Now the map is in my hands. Which means I'm the new owner of the map. Finders keepers.
RYUJIN
Can I at least have some food?
RICHIE
Who the fuck is you?
RYUJIN
I'm Ryujin Nemesis. And I'm going to be the god of pirates.
RICHIE
God of pirates?! Don't make me laugh…! The person who's going to be a god is me. Not some brat who has the name Nemesis… Wait did you just say that your name is Nemesis?!
RYUJIN
That's my clan's name.
RICHIE
I do know of a certain man who has that name. His Jonas Nemesis. But nowadays, people call him Black.
RYUJIN
You know my father? Are you friends with him?
RICHIE
He's your father? This is something I haven't heard of… And we're not friends! That man is a coward! I wanted to go on adventure with him and conquer the Blue line together. And guess what that coward said…
RYUJIN
…
RICHIE
He said that he had no time for such bullshit. That made me to hate that man with passion. Red hair, did you become a pirate, because your father told you that it was fun to be one.
RYUJIN
…
RICHIE
He's just using you to get what he wants. That's your father's true nature. He uses people to accomplish his goals. And I won't fall for his cunning tricks.
RYUJIN
That's not true. My father will never use me to get what he wants…
RICHIE
Let me guess… he initiated you to become a pirate by telling you stories about this world. Yes, or no.
RYUJIN
Yes, he did.
RICHIE
I thought so. But if you join my crew… we can conquer the Blue line together and crash your father.
RYUJIN
Go to hell. I'm not doing that.
RICHIE
You had your chance and you blew it. Boys bring the Boom Boom Cannon.
PIRATES
Yes, sir!
(They bring a cannon that can be pulled by 10 men.)
RICHIE
This cannon of mine has a huge destructive power. Allow me to demonstrate.
(The cannon is aimed at some empty buildings. The pirates keep a cannon ball inside the cannon and make a shot. The cannon destroys the buildings in a row.)
RYUJIN
….
VEE
!!!
RICHIE
Wahahahaha! Now you've seen how destructive my cannon is. Now will you join me or not.
RYUJIN
Never!
RICHIE
Wrong choice.
VEE
Wait! I'll join you! So please don't kill me!
RICHIE
Release the girl.
(Vee is being released.)
RYUJIN
Oi! Don't tell me you're joining him! I thought we're on the same team.
VEE
Who said I was part of your crew.
RYUJIN
…
DELL
Looks like you've being betrayed. There's nothing you can do now.
RICHIE
Now it's time for your execution Red hair.
(The cannon is pointed at Ryujin.)
RICHIE
Girlie what's your name?
VEE
Vee.
RICHIE
That's a nice name for a pretty girl like you.
VEE
Oh stop it. you're making me shy.
RICHIE
To prove your worth as a new member of the Riche pirates! I want you to blow that Red hair to kingdom come.
(The cannon is reloaded.)
VEE
What?!
PIRATE NAMED JUGGERNAUT
You heard him? Blow your boss to smithereens.
DELL
That way we'll welcome you as one of us.
(Vee hesitates.)
VEE
[What should I do now?]
