25. Sea
"Number Two? Do you think any pirate has sailed the entire ocean?" It was a thought that had been bothering the Pirate Captain for quite a while, and if anyone would know, it would be the Pirate with a Scarf. "I mean, any old cove could sail the seven seas, but when you put them all together, the sea is... well, really big! Do you think anyone's seen all of it?"
"I don't think so, Captain," the Pirate with a Scarf answered. A task like that seemed impossible, even for their crew. "But, you know Sir, we have seen a big portion of it." Standing near a shelf full of maps and a few doodles from whenever the Captain felt like drawing, the Second-in-Command pulled out a map.
"We've sailed the Spanish Main several times, and we've sailed all around Europe, the Americas, and even parts of Asia and Africa. And I don't believe any other crew has been to Australia."
"Ah, yes." The Captain picked up an old boomerang, remembering that particular adventure. "You wouldn't think boomerangs would hurt so much but they definitely do." It was worth it for such a unique souvenir. Placing it back on the shelf, he looked at the pirate. "Well, I see your point, Number Two. We have seen a good portion of the ocean." He chuckled a little at the rhyme before noticing something at the bottom of the map. "What's that bit of land at the bottom?"
"Oh, Antarctica," the Pirate with a Scarf answered. They had sailed into parts of the Arctic ocean, but the cold made them sail almost immediately back to tropical waters.
"I don't believe any pirate crew has sailed there before," The Pirate Captain said with a familiar glint in his eyes. Scarf felt a sense of dread come over him.
"I really don't think we should try to be the first, Sir," Scarf told his Captain, "I hear there are huge icebergs down there, and just a small one could cause some damage."
"Well then, we'll just make some adjustments to the ship! Some, anti-Iceberg adjustments! I have been wanting to give the ol' girl a touch up for a while now anyways." The Pirate with a Scarf sighed. Once the Captain made up his mind, there was no trying to sway him. "Number Two, set a course towards the nearest hardware store! And, make sure there's a nice restaurant nearby, the lads haven't ate at one for a while now and it would be good for morale."
"Aye aye, Captain." With that, Scarf left the Captain to his planning, still feeling a bit unsure about their newest adventure. 'But, I suppose what is a pirate's life without a bit of danger?' he thought, 'Or adventure?' He couldn't help but smile, just a tiny bit.
After all, they had never gone on an adventure with Penguins before.
Sorry for the long delay, I was working on my Hotel Transylvania story. Now that it's over, I'm back to Pirates! Hope to update soon!
