A/N: La la la... Oh hi! Here's chapter 2. It's a bit short. Just a little background info for Barose and James. The next chapter will be better. It's when Regeti and Terran get drunk for the first time and Aria finds out that... Wait a minute. I'm not gonna tell yah. You'll have to wait. ;)
Disclaimor: Don't own the Pearl Navy. Just James Rook and Johnny Bims and the Divine.
Adventures on the Caribbean
Chapter 2
Captain James Rook paced back and forth on his ship, the HMS Divine. He had spotted his worst enemy. Barose Bayell. He was sailing towards Tortuga, and James would be there. Not just to do his duty to the Pearl Navy, but for revenge as well.
Whenever they were younger, Barose Bayell, the son of a fisherman, and James Rook, the son of a captain in the Navy, had been good friends. But one day, tragedy struck. James's father died in a pirate attack. Barose had mourned with his friend, but when money was hard to come by he began thinking of taking up a life of piracy. James, knowing it was a pirate that had killed his father, was been angry with his friend for even thinking of all the murders and thefts that pirates caused. But Barose ignored him and chased after his dreams. Furious, James joined the Pearl Navy and vowed to kill all pirates, former friends or not.
Their paths had crossed more than once, and each time, James's loathing grew even more for Barose. Especially when he saw him sail away with a boatload of some wine from his family's company. James couldn't wait to get his hands on his former companion.
What grieved the captain even more was that his wife had died during another pirate attack. Just like his father. It wasn't Barose of course. He had learned not to come close to the James's family. But in the Divine's captain's eyes, all pirates were Barose. Then a few years ago, his sons had run away, but James, still mourning for his wife, thought that the pirate captain had kidnapped them.
The captain's tired eyes scanned the sea. He had not slept well for a while. But, while his eyes closed during the day for a nap, his ears were as sharp as ever. His crew thought he was mad. Some of them had even started to spread word of deserting as soon as they reached port. Their ringleader was Richard Marshal. James had some special plans for him whenever they landed. Thinking of what they would do to Marshal, and then to Barose (when they found him), made Captain James Rook laugh.
Outside of the captain's cabin, a sailor by the name of Johnny Bims overheard his captain's mad laughter. "Marshal was right when he said the cap'n's gone crazy," he commented quietly to himself.
Bims was fixing to walk off when he heard, "Oh yes, Richard Marshal! You picked the wrong ship to leave. You'll be sorry." The eavesdropping sailor gasped and ran off to warn his shipmate.
