Chapter 6
~Antonio's POV~
The sound of shouting filled the air as my crew readied my ship for docking and I scanned the many charts and maps in front of me. I heard a faint knock on my cabin door and I looked up from my work and calmly said, "Come in." Hernandez walked in and bowed before speaking. "We are approaching Tortuga capitán," Hernandez informed me and I smiled.
"Maravilloso," I stated cheerfully, "Francis and Gilbert will be meeting us at the pub, have the crew dock and look sharp now mi amigo."
" Sí Capitán Carriedo," Hernandez replied and left to do as I had asked. I gathered up my things and then joined my crew on the deck. Once we had docked I allowed them to go their separate ways as Hernandez and I headed for the pub. As soon as we entered I was greeted by chatter and drunken laughter, alongside very familiar shouting, "For the last time bruder stop drinking so much ale, we are here on serious business!"
"Tsch lighten up mein bruder, I'm perfectly sober, there's no way a couple of pints of this weak stuff can get someone as awesome as me drunk," a familiar voice replied followed by the trademark laugh of my dear friend Captain Gilbert Beilschimdt. Hernandez smirked and I chuckled as we approached the table where the shouting had been coming from, at the table sat three men, a rather tall and broad blond who looked like he was seconds away from murdering the slightly smaller silver haired man sitting in front of him in the traditional clothing of a German pirate captain and beside the blond sat a very fragile looking auburn haired man. "I see you are still driving your hermano crazy mi amigo," I stated as I stopped at the table and smiled, causing the silver-haired man to look up.
"Ah Toni mein freund, tell mein bruder to let loose, he's keeping the awesome me from having some fun," the silver-haired man replied.
"Do not bring Kapitän Carriedo into this, he is already suffering enough," the blond snapped.
"Ludwig calme mi amigo, this is only normal for him, this is Gil's way of coping with things, it is perfectly fine," I said with a smile toward the blond and he huffed as he sank into his seat, mumbling in German.
"Oh hon hon, quelled yet another fight between the brothers I see mon ami, I was worried Ludwig was about to rip poor Gilbert's head off there for a few minutes," another voice chimed in as two rather lean blonds approached us, one flamboyant looking French captain and one shy crew mate.
"Ah Francis mi amigo, good to see you again and I see you have brought little Matthew again," I stated with a smile.
"Oui of course, now then mind explaining to us why you have gathered us all here today," Francis stated as we all sat at the table.
"Sí of course, well my ship was attacked not too long ago and I myself was injured," I informed them.
"An injury mon ami, do tell us you are alright," Francis said as both him and Gilbert looked at me worried.
"I am fine mis amigos do not worry, at any rate it is the who that has attacked my ship and what he has taken that has brought you all here," I stated.
"Who?" Gilbert asked.
"Captain Arthur Kirkland," I hissed in reply and anger darkened the faces of my fellow captains.
"That bastard, I'm going to rip him limb from limb," Gilbert growled, his crimson red eyes dripping with malice.
"Calme Gilbert," Francis said as he placed a soothing hand in Gilbert's shoulder and then turned to me, "What did he take mon ami?"
"It's not a what, it's a who Capitán Bonnefoy," Hernandez replied.
"Then who?" Francis asked, worried.
"Mi ángel, mi mundo, mi amor," I answered as hot tears clouded my vision and ran down my face, "Mi preciosa Italiano." At my last words both Gilbert and Francis placed comforting hands on my shoulders and Hernandez continued talking, "As you can see this person means a lot to el capitán."
"What does he look like?" Ludwig asked.
"He is lean and tall with brown hair and amber eyes," Hernandez answered and the auburn haired man who had been quiet up until now looked up.
"D...does he say a lot of bad words and wear priest robes?" the auburn haired man asked, worry coloring his voice as he spoke.
" Sí," Hernandez answered, shocked.
"Mio fratello, h...he's been taken again," the auburn haired man stated and then started to cry which caught not only Ludwig's attention but mine as well.
"What is your name?" I asked the man.
"Feliciano Vargas," the auburn haired man replied.
"Magnifico! You're mi ángel's hermano, it's so nice to finally meet you," I said cheerfully.
"Wait you're fratello's friend from Spain?" Feliciano asked, amber eyes wide with shock.
"Sí," I replied.
"It's nice to meet you," Feliciano stated with a warm smile.
"This is all so lovely, but this is not getting your amour back mon ami," Francis said.
"Oh sí you're right, back to business, we have to find Arthur and get mi ángel back, but how, the seven seas are a vast landscape it will be hard to find him out in the oceans," I said and frowned.
"Then we wait, all ships come here eventually," Gilbert said.
"But that can take months," Francis stated unhappily.
"Sí that is a problem," I replied and sighed.
"Espera! Capitán, Capitán Beilschmidt's idea might work," Hernandez stated.
"Cómo?" I asked, now curious to hear what my first mate was going to say.
"Simple, we took out a lot of his supplies and damaged his ship, he'll need repairs and supplies and where do most pirates go for supplies and repairs?" Hernandez replied.
"Shipwreck Cove," we all said at once and then grinned.
"Hernandez, Gilbert, mis amigos, you're brilliant, so we'll wait for him here and then follow him when he leaves, making sure to keep out of ear shot, follow him until he's in the middle of the ocean and then attack and rescue mi ángel, what do you think mis amigos?" I replied.
"It's perfect mein freund," Gilbert said with a wicked grin.
"Oui I agree, now we must inform our crews, so until later, adiue mes amis," Francis replied, "Come Matthieu." At that the two blonds left with a wave of Francis' hand. "Well now that we've got a plan I'm off to find my crew, we've got some repairs of our own to do," Gilbert said as he stood up.
"Por qué?" I asked.
"Braginski," he growled.
"Ah I see, well then adios mi amigo, I have a crew to inform," I replied and the five of us went our separate ways.
