Skull and bones Online, 3rd of July, 2027

The Queen Anne's Revenge sailed steadily along the black sea underneath the night sky as a man wearing a white shirt and navy blue trousers sat alone in a cell, looking out a small crack on the wall for any sign of Empire ships coming to rescue him.

''C'mon Jacob'' he muttered ''You, Sawyer and the others should have reached Port royal by now'' he added before he heard footstep's coming his way, he backed away from the wall and turned his head to see a woman in red pirate clothing approach his cell accompanied by a zombie crew member holding a brown coat, they stopped in front of his cell with smiles on their faces. The woman unlocked the door.

''What is this?'' The man asked. Looking at the coat ''What do you want?''

''You're in luck tonight Edwards'' Cutter said ''The captain requested that you dine with us tonight in his cabin'' she informed him while the zombie held out the coat for him.

Edwards frowned ''Tell him, I'm disinclined to acquiesce his request'' he said with his arms folded proudly.

The zombie looked confused a little.

''Mean's 'No'' Edwards simplified for him.

Cutter just smirked ''He figured you might say that'' she said ''He also said; if that were the case, you'd be dining with the crew...as the main course'' she threatened. The zombie licked his lips.

''Man-flesh would look good with apple in his mouth!'' he said, but to his disappointment, Edwards snatched the coat off of him and put it around himself. Cutter frowned.

''Very well, follow me'' she instructed him as Edwards walked out of the cell and along the wooden floors of the hull with the zombie following behind him. They walked up the stairs to the quarterdeck and reached the top step to the captains cabin entrance underneath the helm. Cutter knocked on the door decorated with skulls and other bones.

''Enter'' said the calm voice of Locke from the inside. Cutter twisted the skull shaped doorknob to open the door. Edwards looked around the cabins decor for a moment as he entered after Cutter while the zombie stood by the door. The interior looked more like a Voodoo witch's lair then a cabin. The walls and ceiling was covered in bones and skulls and pained blood red. The stained glass window at the opposite end depicted a naked woman burning alive. The double four poster bed in the corner was blood red and a wooden desk with maps and charts was right next to it.

''Thank you, you may leave us'' Cutter ordered the zombie, he nodded with a grunt and closed the door behind him without a word.

Cutter and Edwards looked along the long table with all sorts of exotic foods and candelabras littered over it.

''Ah, Edwards'' spoke the voice of Locke as he appeared before them in a black bedroom robe and flippers with no hat, letting his wavy black hair flow. Edward also noticed that he wasn't wearing his mask ''So kind of you to accept my offer'' Locke added with a clam demeanor before he sat down beside Cutter.

''Please, sit, relax'' Locke gestured for him to sit. Edwards slowly sat down on his chair and looked down at his plate.

''And eat, you must be starved'' Locke said gesturing to the food, Edwards hesitated before he realized that he truly was hungry and his health was depleting rapidly because of it. He gradually took a turkey leg and some pig meat before scoffing it down. Locke and Cutter looked to each other with wide grins as he ate. Cutter reached over to a bottle of wine and poured a glass as Edward snatched a bread roll from the table.

''Try the wine'' She held the glass to him ''It's Tortugan red'' she added before Edwards took the glass but before he drank he sniffed the liquid and frowned. He then looked to his captors and realized that they had not eaten anything, he then coughed out his food in panic.

''It's poisoned'' he said. Locke and Cutter chuckled simultaneously.

''Edwards, if I wanted to kill you I would have done it long ago'' Locke said as he stood up and walked behind his chair ''We all know to well that I'm not below killing my prisoners but I'm not wasteful. Beside's, you have information about the grand quest for the sword of Triton that I intent to find'' He finished as he put his hand's on the chair.

''So I ask again'' he said ''Where is Isla De Sirena?''

''I told you before, I really don't know where it is!'' Edwards shouted. Locke shook his head and sat down beside him with his hands together.

''You know Edwards'' he begun ''My father hated a lot of things, but what he hated most was dishonesty'' he smirked at the memories ''If either me or mother or anyone else told a lie, even a little one, he would flip. He'd rant, he'd rave, he'd nearly break something of value to the household, until one day, he decided to teach me the folly of dishonesty'' he paused as Cutter and Edwards listened.

''When I was ten, I lied about being sick to avoid a math test at school. I personally was shocked that he actually brought my lie, at least I thought he did!'' he started ''He said that I need to go to the doctors, so we went to the hospital and after some test's the doctor came back saying I had Ebola'' he revealed 'They were going to inject some kind of experimental drug in me to kill the supposed virus inside me even though my dad knew I had a fear of needles''

''Then what happened captain?'' asked Cutter. Locke looked to her ''I told him the truth, that I was faking the whole thing'' he said before turning back to Edwards ''And you know what? My dad staged the whole thing! I never had Ebola and needed an injection!'' he revealed ''The doctor turned out to be a co-worker of his at his job that he paid to act out the part! That needle was really full of water for god sake's! So he fooled me at my own game!''

''And your point is-?'' Asked Edwards.

''That I never lied to him or anyone else again!'' Locke yelled angrily while slamming his fist's on the table ''The morale of the goddamned story is to never fucking lie!'' he added before smiling sickly ''However, that's something your father never taught you and your little brother is it?'' he asked. Edwards's eyes widened.

''You know about my brother?'' he asked with worry. Locke smiled sickly ''You learn many interesting things when you have spies under your employ in all the home port's in all three factions'' he answered.

''What are you going to do to me if I don't tell you?'' asked Edwards.

''Oh, it's not what the captain will do to you Edwards'' Cutter replied with a dark smile ''It's the fate of what you're brother will suffer''

''Yes'' Locke nodded ''I wonder what would happen if he were to have an unfortunate 'accident' IRL'' he threatened. Edwards widened his eyes in shock.

''No'' he muttered ''You're bluffing!''

Locke smirked ''Try me'' he said ''Like I said, I've committed sin's beyond counting but lying is not one of them''

Edwards looked down at his plate for a moment before pushing it away ''It appears I'm not hungry after all'' he said before getting up to reach the door before-

''Ah, ah, ah'' Locke wagged his finger on his ringed hand ''When I snap my fingers'' he warned before snapping his fingers, making the ring glow red and a zombie cracked his knuckles in response as he entered the cabin ''My finger's snap you'' he added before shooing the zombie away. Edwards slowly sat back down.

''Pretty impressive, isn't it?'' Locke asked as he showed the ring to Edwards ''Know what it is?''

Edwards shook his head.

''The Ring of Hel'' Locke answered ''The Norse god of death'' he added before he explained the legend ''Given to her as a gift from her father Loki on her sixteenth nameday. Legend say's that whoever hold's this ring, controls death itself'' he said as he walked around the table.

''I was a younger man, only the first mate of this vessel when the old captain learned of this tale'' he continued ''the Ring of Hel, buried on an Island that can't be found except for those who knew death at first glance'' he paused ''Find it we did, I stole the ring from him and used it's power to raise my own army to mutiny against him'' he revealed ''With the power of this ring, those zombies are but my slaves, existing only to do my bidding. I gave them back their lives and they serve me in gratitude'' he finished.

''And what about her?'' asked Edwards pointing to Cutter ''She's not a zombie''

''True'' Locke smiled ''But every king needs a queen, am I right my dear?'' he asked his first mate while rubbing her shoulders. Cutter looked to him with lust.

''Yes captain'' she breathed. He cupped her hands and leaned in for a passionate kiss. Edwards started to chuckle slightly.

''You find this amusing?'' asked Locke slightly annoyed.

''No'' Edwards answered '''It's just that, I'm glad you spared my brother's life yesterday. Because once he reaches port royal, the entire Empire fleet will hunt you down and turn his ship into kindling!'' he yelled. Locke just slightly chuckled as Cutter smirked.

''I'm counting on that'' he said ''Did you think I let him go out of good will? No. I wouldn't risk letting a prisoner roam free after he served his purpose. The empire fleet will come and we'll be ready for them''' he revealed his plan ''once we wipe out the fleet, I'll remove a major part in the competition for the grand quest'' he added. Edwards frowned.

''You are no match for the HMS Victory'' Edwards frowned ''I know there's only so many ship's The Queen Anne's Revenge can take on in one day''

Locke shrugged a little ''Maybe'' he said ''But that's why I'm going for that ship first when it comes'' he added ''Now eat, you look rather pale'' he smiled, going back to his calm demeanor.

Meanwhile at another part of the sea

The Soaring Eagle dragged The Dark Phoenix Along the sea as it's bow was tied by two large ropes on Buck's ship's stern. They did this so the ship couldn't flee until they reached Blood island to deliver Kibaou to the overlord in order to collect the bounty for his arrest. Kirito and his crew were in the ship's lower deck's, drinking and happily chatting about the battle that secured the ship.

''Alright!'' Kirito announced, the crew members shushed to hear him ''Now that we have our very own ship, we'll need to assign crew roles to our men and women'' he said.

''Asuna shall be my first mate'' he begun ''Silica will be our wayfinder. Lizbeth shall be our quartermaster (Weapons repairer and smith) Anaya shall be the cook, however Asuna can assist her from time to time. Speigel will be our doctor and brig warden. Sinon will be our scout up in the crow's nest and the rest of you can be gunners and extra hands for other ship chores. Got all that?'' he asked.

''Aye aye captain!'' they all saluted.

''Alright, return to your post's as soon as you've finished your rum'' Kirito ordered before he and Asuna left for the cabin were Kirito slumped down on his desk with Asuna sitting on it.

''Well well Kirito'' Asuna playfully grinned ''First day on the job and already the captain of your own ship''

''Yeah well, we have Buck to thank for that'' Kirito smiled as he leaned forward in his chair ''We should thank him properly when we reach Blood Island while we're repairing and upgrading the ship'' Kirito added ''I noticed that the middle mast needs replacing. We should also look at the magazine to see if we need a refill of gunpowder and shot, we should stock up on food and rum for the crew plus medical supplies for Speigel'' Kirito stated.

''Buck said they'd pay us half the bounty money for that asshat in the brig once he hands him over to the overlord'' Asuna reminded him ''We should stay with them until their side of the deal is done, and then we'll go our separate ways'' she added. Kirito nodded.

''Your intelligence match's your beauty well first mate'' Kirito smiled, Asuna giggled with a blush.

''And your flattery bring's out your handsomeness captain'' she whispered seductively before she leaned in with a kiss, they shared the moment before a knock on the door interrupted them.

''Come in'' Kirito groaned in annoyance. Eiji slowly entered and stood at attention.

''Captain'' he greeted.

''What is it Nautilus?'' asked Asuna. Eiji put his hand behind his back in respect ''A thousand pardon's for intruding vice command-First mate'' he corrected himself before continuing ''But the prisoner want's to speak directly with the captain'' he replied ''Something about wanting to make a deal''

Kirito rolled his eyes in annoyance ''Introduce him to Speigel'' he ordered coldly ''He'll make much better company then me''

''The doctors already down there captain'' Eiji informed them ''Kibaou said that he'd make it worth you're while'' he added.

Kirito rubbed his chin in thought. If Kibaou want's to make some kind of deal with Kirito and resisted Kyouji's interrogation techniques for this long, then it must be something of importance of of his interest.

''Tell Speigel I'll be down there in a minute' he instructed Eiji who bowed in response and walked out of the room. Kirito turned to Asuna ''You log out and check on Yui, make sure no Hitmen snuck in and are trying to kidnap her or kill us'' he told her firmly. Ever since Kirito executed Sugou months ago, 'The White King' has been frequently sending Hitmen after him and his wife to kill or capture them. However, the 'Civic independent agency' duo managed to outsmart and turn the tables of every one of them so far.

''Okay, good point'' Asuna nodded before she opened her menu to log out, her avatar moved over to the bed and she selpt to show that she logged off. Kirito then exited the cabin and walked along the ship to the lower deck's to the brig holding cell where Kibaou sat with his head hung low on the small bed and Speigel standing outside his cell with a puzzled expression.

''I just don't understand it!" he exclaimed ''How can he withstand my methods? I've literally tried everything but he still won't talk to anyone other then you!'' he finished.

''Best not keep him unsatisfied then'' Kirito frowned before Speigel banged on the cell bars to gain Kibaou's attention.

''Hey asshole!'' Kyouji shouted to wake him ''You have a visitor'' Kibaou slowly rose up to look at Kirito. He smiled.

''Black swordsman'' he bowed in respect ''Nice of you to drop in''

''You wanted me. Here I am'' Kirito frowned.

''You know, I never expected you of all people to clear SAO. But, I guess life is full of unexpected things sometimes'' Kibaou smiled.

''What are you doing?'' asked Kyouji. Kibaou looked to him ''Praising the hero of Aincrad of course'' he answered ''You saved over half of the people trapped inside that hellhole! Perhaps I misjudged all those Beta testers. Maybe they were the answer to our survival'' he added ''To bad most of them died''

''And made sure they died in the first place?!'' Kirito asked angrily ''Who blamed them for the death's of the weaker players when all they wanted to do was help?''

''My bad'' Kibaou shrugged. Kirito was furious that he talked about his victims so casually while Kyouji was gritting his teeth.

''Did you ever think about the consequences before you slaughtered them Dickweed!'' Kyouji yelled, surprising Kibaou a little by his choice of words.

''You kiss your mother with that mouth boy?'' he asked. Kyouji grabbed his shirt and yanked him over to the bars.

''I would rather lick a dead skunk's asshole then put my lips near that whore's cheeks'' he said darkly, shocking Kibaou a bit, he never heard anyone talk with such a low opinion of their mother's like that.

''Right'' he said ''But at any rate, I only killed them because they forced me too and didn't cooperate with the weaker players and hoarded all the best weapons and equipment for themselves'' he explained him motives.

''What about Thinker?'' Kirito asked ''You tried to kill him and take over his guild''

Kibaou frowned a little before he shrugged ''Okay, you have me there'' he admitted ''Me and him may have had a 'spiritual' dispute over his leadership morales. But I only threw him down that dungeon because he didn't give me the credit I deserved. I practically ran the town of beginnings for him while he was too busy sleeping with his vice commander!'' he joked. Kirito walked to him really close that he face was mere inch's away from his.

''Give me one good reason why I shouldn't strap a cannonball to your ankle and throw you overboard to drown right now!'' Kirito yelled. Kibaou smiled.

''Because I may know how you can find Isla Da Sirena'' he smirked his his arms crossed. Kirito looked confused, Kyouji mimicked his look.

''The what?'' he asked.

''Isla Da Sirena'' Kibaou repeated ''Tell your crew to met me in your cabin and I'll tell you more about it'' he offered. Kirito thought for a moment.

''Alright, unlock him and escort him to my cabin'' he ordered Kyouji. He nodded and dragged Kibaou out of his cell and tied his wrist behind his back.

''But if tries to run, break every bone in his virtual body'' Kirito warned as Kyouji dragged the prisoner away.

A few moments later

Everyone in the ALO gang was now gathered around a large table with Kibaou sitting with them. Asuna came back after she checked on Yui ''She's fine, no problems'' she answered Kirito when he asked her if their daughter was alright to his relief.

''Now'' Kirito said ''Tell us more about the Isla Da Sirena'' he ordered Kibaou.

''That's Spanish for 'the Island of Sirens''' Kyouji informed them before Kibaou spoke.

''Isla Da Sirena is where the grand quest is located for a treasure of extraordinary value'' he said.

''What treasure?'' asked Klien with interest.

''Gold?'' asked Lizbeth ''Jewels? Unclaimed properties of a valuable nature?''

''Nothing horrible I hope'' Silica meekly said. Kibaou smirked ''No, none of those things, the treasure of which that island houses is the ancient, mystical 'Sword of Triton!''' he announced ''The most powerful weapon in the game. Who ever possess's this weapon, has the power to control the wind and tide. To create storms to powerful that they can turn entire fleets of ships to scrap or create tempest's so wild that can wipe out ports or conjure tsunamis big enough to consume entire islands!'' he informed them. They all oohed and ahhed at the description ''Locke is after this weapon, once he has it, he'll use it to wipe out every fleet of the Three factions, including the pirate's''

''How do you know of all this?'' asked Asuna with interest. Kibaou sighed before replying.

''Because I was one of the old crew members of The Queen Anne's Revenge before he took over'' he revealed making them gasp ''After he and his undead crew killed the old captain and took the ship, they marooned me on a god forsaken spit of land to die but I decided to live and escape to spite him'' he added.

''And you know how to get to Isla Da Sirena?'' asked Gonishi.

''Well'' Kibaou frowned ''I don't know how to find it exactly. But I may know were to start looking'' he added ''So, here's my deal; I help you find the Sword of Triton and defeat Locke then you guys can take over The Queen Anne's Revenge'' he offered.

''And I suppose you'll want something in returned for your help'' Leafa rolled her eyes. Kibaou nodded ''I want this ship back in my command afterwards, I'll allow Kirito to captain until Locke is defeated. Deal?'' he asked Kirito with his hand out to shake. Kirito thought for a moment before he accepted the gesture ''Alright Kibaou, you've brought yourself some time...For now'' he warned.

''So, how do we find this Isla Da Sirena?'' asked Anaya. Kibaou smiled.

''First off, who among you like's riddles?'' he asked. The crowd looked around at each other for a moment until recon slowly held his hand up.

''Good, now listen closely'' Kibaou said as recon sat up at attention before Kibaou spoke:

''When the lonely fisherman folds

A relic that he always holds

When all his gold is lost to luck

A spinning arrow covered in muck

That point's four ways in one's hand

Shall go to the one who holds the higher hand

What is he playing and what is his relic?''

Recon thought for a moment as he processed the riddle. The crowd waited for what seemed like an hour before Recon smiled.

''His relic is a compass and he's playing poker'' he said. Kibaou slowly smirked ''Clever'' he muttered.

''So one of us has to win a game of cards against a fisherman in order to get his compass?'' asked Kirito. Kibaou shook his head.

''Not just any compass'' he corrected ''The Compass of The Seahorse. The wreak of a ship that fell to a storm years ago. The quest giver said that a fisherman found the vessel's captain's prized compass while on a trip'' he informed them.

''Wait'' said Kouichirou ''Where does he live?'' he asked.

''Tortuga'' replied Kibaou ''The home-port of the pirate faction. As a pirate I should be able to repair this ship at the harbormasters and with the right upgrades, The Dark Phoenix will be the fastest and most intimidating bring in the Spanish mane'' he offered.

''But The Soaring Eagle's still attached to our bow'' Sinon informed them ''And with one of our mast's missing, they'll catch us if we try to escape'' she warned. Kibaou shook his head.

''Oh, that?'' he asked pointing to were the middle mast was ''That was just for show, this bring is still the fastest brig in the game once we repair the damage to the hull and replace the destroyed cannons and there's ample room to add more cannons when we arrive at Tortuga'' he said. Kirito thought of a plan to evade Buck's ship without being followed by them.

''Alright, Kouichirou, Agil, you cut the ropes holding us together with that ship'' he ordered them. They nodded and exited the cabin ''Silica, you get ready to turn the ship around when I give the signal'' he added before she nodded and left.

''What about when they try to follow us?'' asked Asuna as they left the cabin and walked along the quarterdeck.

''I have an Idea'' Kirito muttered as he looked at the mast's of The Soaring Eagle.

''Klein!'' he yelled. Recon ran up to him ''Yes captain?'' he asked.

''You see those mast's?'' he asked while pointing to them ''Yeah'' he answered.

''I need you and Recon to use those ropes to sneak on board and plant these bombs on them to make sure they can't follow us'' Kirito instructed as he handed him and Recon the little balls with wick's on them ''Now go!'' he ordered as he kicked Klein away form him in the behind for him to land with his head in a bucket of water.

''Help!'' he said as he walked blindly around ''I can't see anything! It's dark in here! Lizbeth, help me! I've gone blind!'' he yelled in a panic as Lizbeth run to help him.

'''Here, I'll get it off'' she assured him as she pulled at bucket off his head.

''I can't see! I can't see!'' he yelled with his eyes shut.

''Whats the matter?!'' yelled Kirito, Asuna and Lizbeth.

''I had my eyes closed!'' Klein joked before Kirito poked him in the eyes, sending him back.

''Go on! Plant those bombs!'' he ordered annoyed.

Later

Kirito, Asuna, Silica, Kyouji, and Kibaou were waiting for Klein and Recon to come back from The Soaring Eagle at the helm with Kouichirou and Agil at the bow, waiting for them to cross before cutting the ropes binding their ships together while Silica was holding the ships wheel ready to turn the ship on Kirito's command.

''Where are they?'' Kirito asked impatiently ''They should have been back by now''

He then turned to Kibaou ''Are you sure the fisherman is in Tortuga?'' he asked. Kiboua just looked out over the rail in thought.

''First mate, tell the prisoner that the captain has asked him a question'' Kirito ordered Asuna.

''The captain would like me to tell you that he's asked you-'' Asuna started but Kiboua interrupted.

''Wayfinder, tell the first mate to tell the captain that the 'prisoner' is extremely preoccupied'' he asked Silica.

''The prisoner would like me to tell you to tell the captain that-'' Silica said to Asuna before Kirito interrupted.

''My patience with you is shorter the grass Kibaou!'' snapped Kirito ''If I tell Speigel to cut off your head he'll do without a second thought!''

''Think about your actions captain'' Kibaou warned him calmly ''Don't forget, you need me to help you find the sword of Triton''

Just as Kirito as about to say something, he spotted the figures of Klein and Recon climbing the ropes back too there ship. Klien and recon jogged back up to the helm to meet him momentarily.

''Are they planted?'' he asked them, they both nodded with grins.

''Alright'' Kirito said as he leaned over the helm rail ''All hands make ready to sail! Cut the ropes!'' He ordered the two Axe-wielders on the bow. They both cut a rope each in response, letting them fall into the water below, freeing thier ship.

''Bring her about! Hard to starboard! Full sail!'' Kirito ordered Silica, she nodded and steered the wheel quickly to the right so that The Dark Phoenix was turned away from The Soaring Eagle.

Meanwhile on The Soaring Eagle

Buck and Rashid were in deep conversation at the helm when they heard Kirito's yells. They rushed over to the helm and leaned over the rail to see The Dark Phoenix turning away.

''They're stealing our bounty!' Rashid exclaimed as Buck growled in frustration.

''Fucking Pirates!'' he yelled as he walked to the helm ''Hard to starboard and after that ship!'' he ordered.

''But with the wind in their favor we'll never catch them captain!'' Rashid informed him.

''We don't need to catch them, just get them in range of 'The wing-clippers''' he ordered referring to the bow cannons.

''Yes sir'' Rashid said ''Man the bow guns men, make ready to fire on command!'' he ordered the crew as the worked. Fergus climbed up the stairs to the helm.

''We're to sink that vessel cap'n?'' he asked ''But Kibaou's still on board sir''

''I'd rather see his corpse floating in the sea rather then see him roam free'' Buck answered coldly as Sawyer tried to steer the ship but for some reason, couldn't get the wheel to move.

''I said hard to starboard!'' Buck repeated.

''I'm trying sir but the wheel won't move!'' Sawyer replied as he tried it again. He then looked under the wheel to check the rudder chain.

''Is the rudder chain stuck lad?'' asked Fergus. Sawyer shook his head ''No, It's gone completely!''

''KIRITO!'' Buck yelled in anger.

Back on The Dark Phoenix

The ship was now sailing far away from The Soaring Eagle. But Kirito was confused as to why the bombs didn't go off.

''You two did plant the bombs, didn't you?'' he asked them. They grinned.

''No sir'' Klien said.

''We decided to use a non-lethal was to disable their ship'' Recon explained. Kirito was shocked.

''You disobeyed me?!'' he yelled. They shook their heads.

''No sir, we took this instead'' Recon showed him a chain that he hid in his pocket ''This is that ship's rudder chain. Without this, they can't steer their ship, so they can't follow them'' he added. Asuna was happy to hear that.

''Nice work boys'' she complemented their work.

''Yes'' Kirito smiled softly ''A clever tactic. Though, you should have informed me before you did that'' he scolded them.

''Sorry captain'' they both bowed their heads ''We just wanted to be discreet and take fewer lives'' Klein said.

''I understand'' Kirito said before turning to Kibaou ''Now, where is Tortuga?'' he asked. Kibaou pulled out his compass and looked at it.

''Take us northeast from here'' he pointed in that direction.

''Silica, make sail for Tortuga!'' Kirito ordered her, he grabbed Kibaou by the arm before he left with the others.

''I wouldn't get too comfortable with my company Kibaou'' he warned calmly ''Because if you so much as think about trying to cross me or Asuna or if I find out your lying to us, I'll lock you in a room with Speigel and between me and you, he loves it when I give him new toys to play with'' he added ''This is your only warning. Understand?'' he asked. Kibaou widened his eyes.

''You have my word. Captain'' he nodded as Kirito let go of him.

''Good'' Kirito smiled ''Now, you need a job on this ship while on this adventure. First mate!'' he called Asuna over, she appeared behind Kibaou.

''Yes dear?'' she asked.

''Make sure he's kept busy'' Kirito said.

''Sure'' Asuna smirked as she looked to Kibaou ''I've got two new friends I'd love you to meet'' She said to Kibaou as she walked him along the quarterdeck with her hand's behind her back.

''Say hello to Mr mop and Mrs bucket!'' She chuckled as she threw him said mop and bucket before she walked away, leaving him to start his chore of swabbing the deck with him gambling in misery.
