"I'll take this one!" Spongebob said with a big, feathery hat.

"I want this bandana!" Patrick said.

"This one perfectly fits my helmet." Sandy said with a tri-fold hat.

"Come on guys, we still need to get outfits, a crew, and a ship."

"Yeah you're right Squidward. Let's go guys."

"Aye aye captain."

"It feels good to be called captain."

They walked toward the clothes shop.

"Hello. We'd like to see your best sailing clothes."

"How 'bout this." the store clerk said showing them old fashioned sailing clothes.

"Guys?"

Sandy, Squidward, and Patrick nodded.

"We'll take them."

"And these captain clothes come with a free scallop."

"Ooh!"

"Now let's go get a crew."

They walked over to Goo Lagoon beach to where the fish were lifting weights.

"Hi everybody!"

All the fish glared at him.

"Let me take this, Spongebob." Squidward said.

"Ahoy mateys! We be lookin' for a crew to capture pirates. Is any of ye lookin' for a job?"

Most of the fish rose their hands.

"Aye mateys! Come with us."

The fish followed them to a dock.

"Squidward's good at that stuff."

"I'll say."

"So, where's the boat?" a big, black fish.

"Um, we don't have one..."

"Let's go guys."

"Wait! We were gonna steal one."

"Yeah!" Spongebob said. "We were gonna steal one?" Spongebob whispered.

"Okay we'll stay," said the fish "unless we can't get this ship."

"Okay deal."

"So, who's our captain?"

"This little square dude." Squidward said pointing to Spongebob.

"Um, aye mateys! That be okay with ye?"

"Aye captain!" all the new fish yelled.

"What ship are we gonna steal?"

"That one." Squidward said pointing to a large war frigate.

"Okay, know where's the captain and crew?"

"There." pointing to some foreign fish.

"Okay, so how are we gonna get it?"

"We're going to distract them matey. Savvy?"

"Aye. Let's go."

"Wait. We have to make a plan."

"Okay."

"All right. Spongebob, Patrick, Sandy, and me are gonna use that crane to swing over to the ship. You and your friends are gonna distract them, and if they notice us, start a fight. When we get on the ship we fire the cannons at 'em. Savvy?"

"Aye. Let's go."

"Wait!"

"What is it now?"

"I just wanted to know your name."

"It's Bosun."

"Okay."

Spongebob, Patrick, Sandy, and Squidward went over to the crane. The other fish went over to the crew.

"Nice boat you have there." said the big fish.

Spongebob, Patrick, Squidward, and Sandy swung over to the boat.

"Aye, it is. We bought it all the way in the Indian Ocean." said the captain, in an English voice.

"Have you named it yet?"

"No, but we plan to when we get on the open sea."

"Captain, some miscreants just swung onto our boat."

"Uh, er. Arghh!" Bosun said, hitting the captain.

The captain flew back into a coral stall.

"Get them!"

"Let's go guys." Bosun said.

Bosun ran back with the other fish. They gathered in some rowboats and rowed to the frigate.

"Did everything work out okay, Bosun?" Spongebob said.

"Yeah fine, but I think we have some enemies now."

"Yeah I thought so."

"Do we have any weapons?"

"Yeah here." Sandy threw a cutlass and a pistol at him.

Bosun looked at them and put them up.

"What are we gonna name the ship?" Squidward asked.

"How about the Black Scallop?" Sandy asked.

"The Pink Starfish!" Patrick said.

Everyone looked at him weirdly.

"How about the Crimson Revenge?" Spongebob said.

"Yeah!" Sandy said.

"Aye!" the rest of the crew said.

"So we're settled?"

"Aye!" they repeated.

"Let's go pirate hunting!" Patrick said.

"Patrick, we just stole a ship. Don't you think we're pirates now?" Squidward said glaring.

"Oh yeah. Good point."

"Are we just gonna sit here, or are we gonna run away from the ships trying to kill us?" Sandy asked.

"Let's run away." Spongebob said.

"Yeah."

The crew hoisted up the sails and sailed off toward the setting sun on the horizon.
