Link had been expecting to sneak on board the pirate ship in the dead of night, fight his way past Niko and steal the bombs needed to find the final pearl.
He hadn't been expecting to get invited on board and offered the bombs.
If he could complete another rope-swinging-platform-jumping puzzle, of course.
Link agreed quickly and ignored Niko as he insisted that he would never do it.
The first try was a success and Link landed next him smugly.
The pirate's face was priceless.
"Bombs?"
He sighed and pointed at the single chest in the back of the room.
Link took his prize and walked by Niko, patting his shoulder as he went, and then returned to the other side of the room. Before he left, however, he paused and glanced back and went and hit the switch, making all the platforms and the ladder, disappear.
"Hey, wait!" Niko called.
"See you! Hope Tetra doesn't kill you!" Link yelled, waving and then snickering to himself.
"Worst pirates ever…"
Author's Note: Since I've been a little short on updates to this story lately, I have uploaded 2 chapters! This one is sort of a follow up to a previous chapter, but I had to put in there how you can trap Niko on the other side with no way to get back. It's amusing, and I can picture the fit Tetra would throw when she gets back in.
