A Fistful of Feathers (Subodai)
After helping the Water Mole revolt in the Isle of Doom, Sneaky Sam is practising his swashbuckling combat moves with his trainer, Morgan Lafitte, when Subodai came in the Swashbuckler Hall and pardoned himself for intruding on his captain's training, before he asked his captain to meet him in the Kraken Skulls Tavern Cellar on a matter of a promotion. Sneaky Sam agreed and asked if he can see him from 5 minutes away, which Subodai didn't argue with. 5 minutes later, Sam went down to the cellar and asked Subodai what's happening, which Subodai replied "Captain, it is time to prove myself by acquiring my Warrior's Plume. The spirits of my ancestors must guide me. To speak to them, I must perform an ancient ceremony. I must offer special offerings so they will answer my calls. Normally, I'd collect talons from Falcons back in Mooshu, but Skarakeets are close enough." Sneaky Sam then agreed to help Subodai and they, along with Bonnie Anne and Fan Flanders, sailed to Monquista to pluck the talons from the Skarakeets, which is more challenging than you think. After getting pecked by a number of Skarakeets, they managed to get enough talons from them, as Subodai said he needs Blood Flowers for the ceremony and a gardener at St. Bonobo's Abbey named Brother Hector will know where to get them. When they arrived at St. Bonobo's Abbey, they landed on the ground and went to Brother Hector, who is tending to the tomatoes.
When he was asked by Subodai where they can find Blood Flowers, he hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell them they can find that plant in the Cave of Thorns in Diablo Cut, but warns them of the vines in that cave. Taking on his word, Sam and the others boarded their ship and sailed to Diablo Cut and ventured deep into the cavern before entering the said cave. Collecting the Blood Flowers is not difficult; in fact, it was rather easy. After collecting 5 of them, Subodai told Sam that they should ask Madam Vadima for permission into contacting Subodai's ancestors. After teleporting back to Skull Island, Sneaky Sam and Subodai entered the Witchdoctor's Sanctum and Madam Vadima, without a word from either Sam or Subodai, allowed Subodai to call his ancestors on the shrine to their right. As Subodai did the ceremony, his ancestor's spirit came and told Subodai he is proud of becoming a warrior, adding he is ready to claim his Warrior's Plume. He needs to fight Cid Simian on his respective ship, El Cid, and grab his banner if he wins the fight. Subodai nods and he, Sneaky Sam and the others sailed back to Monquista and they spotted the El Sid near Monquista City. They then did a broadside battle against the ship before they boarded the El Cid and they did battle against Cid and his crew, with Sneaky Sam and Subodai going against Cid themselves. Cid tried to his Sam, but he is quickly evasive and managed to get Cid to foolishly stick his Halberd into the deck, leaving Subodai to finish the job by knocking out Cid and grab his banner before they got off the crumbling ship back to theirs. Subodai is pleased he got the banner and he, along with Sneaky Sam and the rest of the crew, went to the Dining Hall in St. Bonobo's Abbey to celebrate and when they went in the Cellar, Subodai came with his new equipment and he thanked his captain notably for helping and he will help his Captain out on his travels. Sam and Subodai shook hands and they enjoyed a bit of herbal tea before heading out again.
