Disclamer: I do not own POTC or any of his characters. I do not own the name ''Nastro Azzuro'' (It's the name of an italian beer). I also do not own the song ''Azzuro'' (Lyrics by Adriano Celentano) I do not own "L'Ambarabà '' which is a bar in the city of Pisa (Italy). But I own my characters, the S.I.P.V.M. (In English, I.S.P.O.W.) and the O.M.P.P. (in English, O.W.P.P) (you'll know the names of this organizations soon)
Summary: Capt. Jack Sparrow and his crew are in a travel in the Mediterranean sea, in search for The Treasure of the Golden Crocodile (Author's note:This is also an idea which I own. :P), when they arrive at the mouth of the river Arno... Well, what are ye waiting for, mates??? Begin to read now!!!
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Treasure of the Golden Crocodile
Chapter 1: The battle of the mouth of The Arno.
The Black Pearl was sailing normally at the Mediterranean sea. A sea which was terribly quiet that day. No merchant ships, no war ships, no pirate ships (Except the Black Pearl, of course), and no storms. There wasn't also much wind, favourable or non-favourable, which was a real pity, beacuse they were very near of their objective: The Treasure of the Golden Crocodile, hidden by the French pirate, Guillaume Paté, in the underground of the City of Pisa, and guarded by his crocodile, which, as the legend says:'' was of real gold, and his eyes where blue zaffires. But he was alive, like a real crocodile'') .
Some people thought it was a a simple legend, but for Captain Jack Sparrow, this legend was real. He found the map of the treasure eleven years before, with the help of his mate Bootstrap Bill, whose mother knew Mounsieur Paté. And he hid it in one of the cabins of the Black Pearl, in a place that he only knew, so he was the only able to find it.
And, after taking back his Pearl, he wanted to go for that treasure...
-We be approaching land!- Anna Maria shouted
Finally: Italy. The mouth of the Arno was in front of them. And a merchant ship was approaching...

''Azzurro, il pomeriggio è troppo azzurro e lungo per me
mi accorgo di non avere più risorse senza di te
e allora io quasi quasi prendo il treno e vengo, vengo a te.
Il treno dei desideri nei miei pensieri all'incontrario và...''
Veronica Lark, Captain of the International pirate ship, Nastro Azzuro, was at her compartment, playing with Roby, her little baby crocodile (every captain member of ''Il Sindacato'' had one), when Riccardo Vespucci, her first mate, entered there.
-Cap'n Lark- He said- A black ship is approaching
She left Roby on the floor and went out of her compartment.She saw the ship near to the mouth of the Arno...
- Master Nedved, approach to them !- She shouted to the coxswain, who quickly drived the Nastro Azzuro near to the other ship.
-Order the boatswains to prepare for an advertence shoot- She said to Riccardo- if they are pirates, they'll shoot us back.
Riccardo ran to the cabins.Veronica prepared for a more than possible battle...
------------------------------------------
Why was that ship approaching to them so fast?
Jack knew the answer when he saw the pirate flag. And after the shoot, which broke one of the sheets.
-Oh no- he thought- Blowing holes in my ship... again.
Of, course, he knew that it was an advertence shoot.They didn't want the Black Pearl near the treasure.But he was going to find it, even if his beloved Pearl got damaged in the path.
-What are we going to do, Jack?- Gibbs asked
-Shoot back, of course-He said - They are between us and the treasure.And remember that the Treasure of the Golden Crocodile it's a big treasure, mate.
-Ok, then- Gibbs replied
They shoot back, and so, the battle begun...
----------------------------------------------------
-Prepare to aboard!- Captain Lark shouted
She aboarded first, followed by her first mate, Riccardo Vespucci, her lieutenant Tatjana Zelenskajte, and part of her men.
They fought against the men of the other ship, and they were almost winning, when someone shouted:
-Parley!
Everybody stopped. Veronica turned back and saw the man who said that. He looked quite familiar to her.
Of course she could remember... Jack Sparrow.
The best friend of the son of the Godmother. Veronica recognised him beacuse of the description of him in the stories that the Godmother told her about the adventures of her son, after she had to left him in England, at the care of a woman who was a friend of her.
Perhaps she would have to take him to meet the Godmother...
-------------------------------------------------------
-Ye want to go to the city of Pisa. - the woman said- to search the Treasure of the Golden Crocodile, I suposse, Mr Sparrow.
-It's Captain Jack....Wait a minute. How do ye know me name, luv?- Jack asked
-It's beacuse ye be very famous here- she replied- I am Veronica Lark, Captain of the International Pirate Ship, Nastro Azzuro. These are my First Mate, Riccardo Vespucci and my Lieutenant, Tatjana Zelenskajte.
They both made a reverence.
-It's a pleasure for us to meet the famous Captain Jack Sparrow and his crew- They both said at the same time.
-Our ship will escort yours to the city of Pisa, via the river Arno- She replied- There, you'll meet someone who is very interested in meet you, and perhaps, she may give you information about the treasure.
-But, how do ye know I be interested in that treasure?- Jack asked
-Most of the pirate ships who are not our allies, come to Pisa to try to find the Treasure- Veronica replied- But we be always between them and their objective. Now, if ye don't mind, we are goin back to our ship.
Vespucci and Zelenskajte were the first people to go back to the ship. Lark was the last.
-And, Captain Sparrow.-she said, before leaving.- Don't call me ''luv''.
