"Hmm, this is absolutely delicious, Joe." Donald could remember neither the last time he was in Rio de Janeiro nor the last time he ate a delicious Brazilian breakfast. Eating at the Cachaca café reminded him how much he missed the delicious Brazilian food, especially the smoothies, fruit, bread, cheese and cake among everything.
His friend Jose, who was sitting opposite of him at the table with him at the café, smiled. "I'm very pleased you enjoyed your breakfast, Donald."
"Are you sure you don't want me to get this?" Donald asked.
"No thank you, Donald," Jose said. "This is my treat."
"So have you any ideas about our sea monster friends, Joe?"
"Well, I do have some theories."
"Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Tell me, please."
"Well, my first theory is this. As you know, those sea monsters –" Jose couldn't continue because he and Donald were interrupted by a noise. They found that the noise was coming from a bird. The Aracuan Bird. He was singing his song as he walked around the table Donald and Jose were sitting at. Then he left.
Jose cleared his throat. "So, as I was saying –"
Then the Aracuan Bird appeared again on the table Donald and Jose were having breakfast and did his song again. Speaking of breakfast, he grabbed it all and left in a hurry. Neither Donald nor Jose had even finished half of it. And they still had to pay for it!
Donald rose up and angrily quacked at the Aracuan Bird and didn't stop until Jose put his hand on his shoulder.
"Come on, Donald," Jose said. "The best thing we can do is get away from that moron."
Donald calmed down while Jose paid for the breakfast. But then Aracuan Bird arrived again and did his singing. Donald was about to give that annoying bird a piece of his mind until Jose stopped him.
"Allow me to handle this discreetly, Donald," Jose said. Then Jose whistled as he walked to the Aracuan Bird and then he gave him his umbrella. As the Aracuan Bird looked at it with great interest, the umbrella closed on him and he got trapped in it.
"Well done, Joe," Donald said. "That was very clever. But won't you miss your umbrella?"
"Well, I will miss that one," Jose said, "but that wasn't my favourite one." He took his hat off and an umbrella, the same size and make as the one that he gave to the Aracuan Bird to trap him in, was on top of his head. He took it off and put his hat back on. "This is my favourite one."
"You never cease to amaze me, Joe," Donald said.
"Thanks, Donald," Jose said. "Now, come on before our friend finds out a way to be free out of that umbrella."
So the two amigos ran off, leaving the Aracuan Bird to walk around and crash into the the Cachaca café's tables and chairs while trying to be free of the umbrella.
After they walked and found a quiet place for them to concentrate, which was an alleyway, Jose resumed telling Donald his theory.
"So your nephews' father – and he's not your brother in law, right?"
Donald shook his head. "No, he isn't, thank goodness."
"So he wants his three sons to be brought to him, but it's not to catch up with them? It's to use them for helping him become powerful than he already is?"
"That's correct, Joe," Donald said. "I bet he'll do anything to get them, even if he has to sacrifice them."
"And so far they're in Duckberg and protected by your girlfriend Daisy and your new half robotic friend?"
"Well, I sure hope so."
"Okay," Jose said. "Well, now that we are the same page, this is my suggestion. First, we must find –"
"Stop, Joe," Donald whispered. "I hear something."
Jose looked around as he tried to hear what Donald was hearing. He did hear them. They were footsteps. They sounded very loud and heavy. "Could those be the sea monster pirates, Donald?"
"They are, Joe," Donald replied. "Quick, around this corner here."
The two amigos rand to the corner and they hid behind it. They peered around to check on the footsteps. They finally saw who they belonged to – the sea monster pirate navy. And they were approaching them.
"We need somewhere to hide, Joe," Donald said.
"Here, Donald," Jose cried. "Into this barrel!"
Donald saw his parrot friend running towards an empty barrel. He followed him, got into the barrel and helped him to close the lid above them.
"Now, remember, Donald," Jose whispered. "Don't make a noise. Let them pass."
Donald nodded to show that he understood.
After a long while, Donald and Jose couldn't hear any more footsteps. They had done nothing but listen out for them. They breathed as quietly as they could and they did their best not to fall asleep. They decided to take the lid off and see if they lost the sea monster pirates. They couldn't see a sea monster pirate in sight.
They cheered and high-fived each other. Then when they got out of the barrel, they both fell and landed on a wooden deck. A wooden deck of a ship. A ship that belonged to the sea monster pirates they were trying to avoid. To make matter even worse, there were two people Donald never wanted to see ever again in his life, even less than the entire sea monster pirate army.
"Welcome back, Donald." Admiral Daniel Beakship gave an evil grin.
"And we welcome your friend onboard," said his evil sorceress, Lady Bonnie, the flying piranha that could breathe out of water and fly in the air.
"You had your friends put that empty barrel in that alleyway so they could catch us, didn't you?" Donald muttered.
"Not as clever as you thought you were, were you, Donald?" Daniel asked.
"But I must admit this, Donald," Bonnie said, "that you and your friend here have given us a good run. But playtime is over now and now the really serious stuff begin."
"Really serious stuff?" Donald asked as he and Jose were seized and cuffed up by the sea monster pirates. "How can you guys be any more serious than before or right now?"
"Oh, you'll see, Donald." Daniel's beak had an evil grin.
"Yes, they will see," Bonnie said, as she joined her admiral in watching their sea monster pirate navy took Donald and Jose to the cells below back.
