Of course, Sango made the two men paddle the canoe. They managed to get out of the port for only five minutes until they were spotted by guards on a nearby ship docked at a long pier. They had to paddle quickly to another ship, a much smaller one, but faster.
Bankotsu jumped straight out of the canoe and onto the back of the ship labeled: Sea Eagle. He climbed quickly up the side and onto the deck. He was soon followed by Sango and last but not least Jakotsu who mumbled crap about women.
The other ship after them had already begun it's flight towards the Sea Eagle and was gaining fast. Sango pulled out her knife and cut the ropes holding the sail while the two other pirates got the Sea Eagle ready to take flight.
The white sails seemed to pop up along with a flag which sported British colors. Bankotsu stared at it and groaned. "I hate the British...damn guards don't even give us pirates 'chance."
"That's no reason to hate em'...me husband is a guard here." Sango said, about to take hold of the wheel, but Bankotsu beat her to it.
"I believe I am the captain of this ship, miss."
Jakotsu stared at the oncoming ship. "Hey...it's gainin' on us."
"Hey...it's...it's a'gainin' on us..."
Both Bankotsu and Sango turned to see the other ship gaining very quick speed towards them and the Captain panicked. "Jakotsu, grab the wheel."
"WHAT?"
"Do it."
"I haven't sailed anything in my life, n-not even that little kiddy boat me uncle made! I was scared!"
Bankotsu knew how to get his way and he started...just now. "And you call yourself a pirate...You be a bloody wimp!"
"I'm not a wimp, I'm just scared that I might wreck this beauty...it's so...nice and...better than your ship..."
Bankotsu rolled his eyes and then pushed his friend straight towards the wheel. "Jakotsu, it's easy. Grab the wheel and steer."
There was a whimper and a death glare, and then the kinky pirate took hold of the wheel, shaking. Bankotsu ran back to Sango. "Okay, you and I need to man the sails."
"Cant he do it with me?" Sango asked. Bankotsu only shook his head shallowly.
"If he did, he would kill you...he hates women."
"Uh...ye kinda need-ta'...hurry it up a bit..." Jakotsu turned to the two others with a desperate look in his eyes. Bankotsu looked to the ship and with one pull of a rope, the last sail was up and the Sea Eagle was on its way.
"Jakotsu! What in bloody hell do ye' think yer doin'?"
"I have an idea..." the other pirate replied, steering the Sea Eagle right towards the other ship. Sango grabbed onto Bankotsu and watched as their ship and the other ship came very close. Bankotsu looked down the woman.
"It's never good when he has an idea, Sango...so...I suggest you grab onto something."
"Lieutenant, what are they doing?" A short sailor ran up to the master of the ship, seeing the Sea Eagle head straight towards them. The lieutenant shook his head and rubbed his eyes.
"He couldn't be..."
It was minutes before the Sea Eagle was straight on the track to hit the other ship. Jakotsu looked back to Bankotsu and Sango. "Hang onto yer pants!" he yelled to them and then faced forward. Behind him, Bankotsu and Sango were panicked.
"What's he going to do?" Sango asked.
Bankotsu shook his head. "I have no idea..."
Right before the Sea Eagle was about to crash into the other ship, Jakotsu took the wheel and spun it left, causing the ship to make a sharp left turn, making Bankotsu and Sango lose their balance. The Sea Eagle managed to scrape the side of the other ship and knock off some of their cannons and causing one of them to puncture the bottom of the other ship.
The lieutenant screamed as the side of his ship was practically ripped off.
And Jakotsu laughed at the lieutenant. Bankotsu ran up to Jakotsu. "What do you think yer doin'?"
"That ship is bulky and slow...our ship, our Sea Eagle, is quick and can turn quickly...the other ship will have to sail a little longer towards the port to turn...n' besides, their ship might now sink...!"
"That is actually probably the best idea you've ever had."
"Where to now?" Sango asked, popping into the view.
Bankotsu and Jakotsu looked at each other and smiled as they both said: "Tortuga."
The Captain walked through a crowd of drunk men and women carrying three glasses full of rum. He finally made it to a small wooden table where his friend and Sango sat. Bankotsu set the glasses on the table and took one himself while the two others took theirs. Bankotsu noticed that Sango and Jakotsu weren't fighting too. "What happened? Did you two just suddenly become friends?"
"Suppose..." Jakotsu answered, taking a long swig of the rum. Sango took her glass and sipped it, unlike the two other men.
"Hey...ye haven't told me anything about why you're out here."
Bankotsu and Jakotsu faced each other and shrugged. Then, the captain began to speak. "I was just searchin' the place for things to pilfer but guards chased me into a trap and caught me...I take it me crew was about to leave when Jakotsu got off...and...?"
"I was going to get you."
"Yeah...but before we were to sail all the Spanish Main, and become the most feared pirates in the Caribbean." Bankotsu finished with chugging down the rum and belching long after that. "My ship is too feared. White sails and reddish wood...m'father said it came from the Ring O' Fire...and that's its name."
"I heard about that ship...but I've never seen it." Sango remarked, looked around, making sure no British guards were there. Jakotsu rolled his eyes and began to speak.
"Well, since this is yer stop--"
"Actually I have a proposal to make...you two n' I could sail together...I could help sail cause I don't want to wind up carrying one or two babies before me husband gets here...the men around here are complete dogs."
Bankotsu grew wide-eyed and Jakotsu cupped a hand over his mouth before he spat out some rum which went down the wrong way. "Well, um...that's a good idea, but... if you sail under our colors, ye might end up gettin' killed."
Sango rolled her eyes and stood up. "Ye haven't seen me fight, have you?" she asked, and at that same time an older dirty man walked up behind her and slapped her butt. Jakotsu looked like he was about to throw up when Bankotsu was just very surprised. Sango immediately twisted around and high kicked the man in the face, knocking him over and falling over onto another table, knocking it down.
A few drunk men and women stopped to stare and then went right back to laughing or partying. Sango turned to face the two men. "That's just the beginning."
Bankotsu clapped slowly but loud. And Jakotsu was busy trying to scratch what just happened out of his mind. "Wow...that was...really..." Bankotsu couldn't even speak...she was so quick with her reactions that it was almost like pure reflex. Sango smiled and sat back down like nothing happened.
"So...I'm still having trouble with yer names..."
Bankotsu took the liberty of introducing themselves. "I'm Bankotsu...Captain of the Ring of Fire, and my 2nd mate, Jakotsu...he's very openly gay."
"Like I didn't already figure that out." Sango said, adding a small laugh to the end of her sentence. "And not just by his attitude, you can see it too...how he's just rubbing up to you and talking in kinky slurs... it's obvious."
"I know this might sound random, but...since yer the Captain of the Ring of Fire...can I have the Sea Eagle? I mean...it's just so..."
"Ask Jakotsu...he loves that ship."
Jakotsu perked up at the sound of his name and then stared at Sango. He pointed to himself and definitely made it clear. "My-ship."
"My ship." Sango decided to have a little fun with this so called 'women-hater.'
"My ship."
"My ship."
"My ship."
"MY ship, Jakotsu."
"Fine. We share it."
Bankotsu turned to face Jakotsu. "You're willing to share the Sea Eagle with her?" Jakotsu thought for a moment and then nodded.
"Deal?" Sango asked, holding out her hand. Jakotsu stared at her dirty hand and then to his hand which had scrap fabric wrapped around it and with a big emerald ring on his finger. Jakotsu closed his eyes and reached out, grabbing her hand.
"Deal."
Sango smiled and let go of his hand, grabbing her glass and sipping down the rest of her rum. "And comin' up with the excuse 'I was drunk' doesn't count."
Jakotsu smiled at Bankotsu and leaned on him. "I'm drunk, take me home." He said.
