(In the mansion.)
VEE
March. That's the only option we have right now. We're going to steal the Santa Maria.
SKYE
I hate to admit it. but we'll have to steal the ship. What do you say Ryu?
RYUJIN
…
MARCH
Ryujin. What do you say about it? Are we really going to this?
RYUJIN
Something doesn't feel right.
SKYE
What do you mean?
RYUJIN
That Pasha lady I think I saw her somewhere… But where exactly.
MARCH
You personally saw her?
RYUJIN
Yeah. At Blue jay Island. I saw her bounty poster of a woman who looked exactly like her.
SKYE
Now that you mentioned it… I think I saw a woman's wanted poster who looked exactly like her.
MARCH
Then you mean Pasha is a pirate. Wait, Risa's parents were killed by pirates. Then does that mean Pasha killed them. But how.
RYUJIN
She must have killed the Risa's mother 1st. then married her father. And then killed her father. For what purpose?
MARCH
To get Risa's wealth. I think she's scheming something evil.
SKYE
Like using the port as a pirate base where she can have a fleet of pirate ships so that she can sail to the Blue line.
RYUJIN
That could be possible.
VEE
Do you even have evidence to support your conspiracy theories?
RYUJIN
No.
MARCH
But if we play detective we might find out what's she's been up to. I won't let that evil woman to get what she wants.
RYUJIN
Then we get the Santa Maria and set sail to the Blue line.
MARCH
Yes.
(Vee starts to walk.)
SKYE
Where are you going Vee?
VEE
To search for treasure. This mansion must have some sorts of treasure since it's coming from a rich family.
RYUJIN
Let's go and look for clues.
MARCH
Yeah.
SKYE
I'll come with you.
(They head to the basement.)
RYUJIN
This is one huge basement.
SKYE
I wonder if they have some booze.
RYUJIN
I found some cheese.
MARCH
Hey, we're not here to fool around.
(Skye drinks the wine.)
SKYE
Ryu.
RYUJIN
Hmmm…
SKYE
This wine is actually good.
RYUJIN
Really. Can I try some.
SKYE
Okay.
(she tosses the bottle at Ryujin. Ryujin drinks it.)
RYUJIN
You're right. It does taste good.
MARCH
Hey, don't finish for me.
RYUJIN
Here, you go.
(March also drinks the bottle.)
MARCH
This wine is so delicious. I wonder where's it from. It's even called God valley.
SKYE
God valley? Then that wine is from the South Sea.
RYUJIN
What is it doing in the East sea?
MARCH
Then it means Risa's parents used to be explorers who sailed around the world.
RYUJIN
That must explain they own a port of ships.
(Meanwhile, Vee steals some valuable assets that she encounters.)
RISA
Looks, like you have trouble sleeping.
VEE
Oh, it's you. You startled me.
RISA
I'm sorry for that.
VEE
I was just admiring this asset. It looks so wonderful.
RISA
Yeah, my parents were explorers so they loved to collect a lot of assets and treasures. Do you wanna talk in my room?
VEE
Well, of course.
(In their room.)
RISA
I didn't know that you are pirates.
VEE
Yeah, we are pirates. But our captain Red hair Ryujin is not what other pirates are.
RISA
Really. Then what kind of pirate is he?
VEE
He's a pirate that seeks adventure with a dream to become the God of pirates.
RISA
That's his dream?
VEE
Yes, I was surprised when he said that. And he's willing to do anything to accomplish his goals. That's what makes him different from other pirates. Although he's naïve, straight forward and loves to joke around, I'm starting to believe that he might actually accomplish his dream.
RISA
Sounds like you have a crush on him
(Vee blushes.)
VEE
What?! No? There's no way I would fall for an idiot like him.
RISA
But I think you really do. But you're not honest with your feelings yet. There must be something that's bothering you and you can't bring it out.
VEE
…Yeah, you're right. But I think you should consider giving the Santa Maria to Ryujin.
RISA
I'll think about it.
(Meanwhile in Pasha's bedroom. There are a bunch of clothes on the floor as Pasha makes love to her colleague known as Jango.)
PASHA
I'm happy that you came Jango.
JANGO
You do know that I can't resist your voluptuous body, my lovely captain.
PASHA
You flatter me. Now I think it's time we talk about our plans in assassinating Risa and her brother Teddy so that we can take over the port so that we can set sail to the Blue line.
JANGO
Our crew are ready. The Blue line is ours together. With our new acquired fleet we'll be considered one of the Dangerous Pirates in the world that The World Government can't think of arresting us.
PASHA
I'm glad to have you as my vice-captain.
JANGO
And you as my captain.
(They make love.)
