“thanks a lot mr. Roberts, and thanks for everything, I’ll never forget your kindness mister” he packed his things, then he rushed back to Anne.
In Anne Morgan ship, Red Caesar, Anne checking her new crew members, there are fifteen men and one kid, two of them is Thomas friends there are Francis Drake and Jack, and Bonnet, Jack’s parrot. Anne laughed after she saw Thomas.
“what chu doin in my ship !? go back to your bar, kid !” she yelled again.
“I want to be a Pirate ! and I’m not kid !” Thomas said with no fear of Anne.
“wha..!? watch yer mouth when you talk to me kid !” Anne strikes back.
“never mind.. this boy is with me” suddenly a noble looking man speaking.
“well well well, tell me my eyes play a trick on me.. is that one eyed Drake ?! or.. Sir. Francis Drake !! the former admiral who become pirates” she laughed.
“so now you’re one of my crew.. be useful for me then ! and you.. kid what’s your name ?”
“Thomas”
“Thomas ? I don’t like it.. hmm now your name is Kidd !”she laughed while walk away to her room.
“is she really a woman ? I can’t believe it, she’s like a devil !” Thomas said.
“ I agree with you tom.. ya she’s scary, but I won’t doubted her skill as a pirates.. hundred men fall in front of her sword skill” Jack said.
Now Thomas become Kidd, his adventure begins. Three days on the sea. Kidd and the other almost arrive. The Island is already visible.
“Arr ! Cap’n ! that’s the island” the navigator shouted to Anne.
“aye.. throw out the anchor !”
All the crew get in their position. Suddenly..
WHACK !!! BOOM !!
The Red Caesar trembling.
“there’s something in the water !! hang on.. it’s back!!”the navigator shouted in fear.
WHACK !!! the ship trembling again, and many crew fall to the sea.
“Arr !! full speed ! the seashore is close, whatever is that thing shot it with canon !!”
KABOOM !! the cannons shot, but hit nothing.
“what is that ? is that a whale ? “
“a whale no show brutal behavior like that Tom, I mean.. Kidd.. that was.. something else, something evil” Jack said.
“you mean.. The Kraken ? no way Jack.. maybe yes I am the youngest here, but I knew it’s just fairy tale”
“at sea there’s no fairy tale, you’ll find it out someday” Francis said.
While some man in state of fear Kidd just getting more and more excited, after all his life before always in a tiny bar, wondering some adventure, and now he’s like a Kid rediscover his lost toys.
In their way to the seashore, there’re so many shipwrecked and skull of dead men, the island looks like a ship grave, but there also a lot of gold coin in the water, shining. All the crews wants to jump but then Anne scream again.
“focus ! our objective is morre than gold, the Blackeye treasure is far in the island, the gold here is nothing compared with the treasure.” Anne said it behind the steer while she observe something with her scope.
“is there anything more precious than gold ? actually.. what is the blackeye treasure ?” Kidd asked.
“no one know it in this world Tom, I mean.. Kidd, it’s like a biggest secret in sea, someone said it is a super fast ship, someone said it is nothing than a joke“
“Whoa.. all this time I thought treasure is a box of gold but there’s something else that more precious than gold. but.. Anne look like knew something.. oh.. it must be.. her father..”
“aye.. it’s a rumor among pirates, her father told to his daughter easy clue bout the treasure at a moment before his death, that old bastard.. Kidd, if something bad happen just hide okay”
“but I want to fight, I am a pirate too Jack.. remember, I have a lot of sword fight with drunk pirates at the bar, well.. the only diffrent it was without real sword”
Jack’s anxious become reality, after all the crews off the ship, the new crews except Kidd and friends do a rebellion, they all scared and want to come back, it seem they all too shocked with the previous attack. There is a brief battle, Anne and her loyal crew easily beat the new crews.
“ dirty scum ! now my plan become useless !!”
“Captain, we still have three man there”
“hey, it’s sir Francis and his servant.. what side are you ? although I have heard of your greatness, if you want a fight let’s do it now” Anne swing her Sword towards Francis.
“I’m just passing, I have my own purpose here”
“don’t tell me you’re not interested with the treasure, what’s exactly your motivation here, I never understand you. Ok.. ok.. all right.. you all go to there.. then find a blue chest.” Anne pointing a giant black rock at east side of the island.
“allright”
“I am going to the reverse side of this point, we meet again at my ship ! savvy ?
“Kidd.. you’re right.. she knew something !”
Four hours walking, Kidd and friends arrived, and then they search the chest, they split, then Kidd found it.
“hey ! over here !! i found it !”
“good job Kidd, now let’s open this old chest... but where’s the key ?”
“wait jack.. this chest are not locked”
“strange.. i never found a treasure chest that is not locked”
“Is it true? I don’t know you ever discovered a treasure.. iI though you are the worst pirates ha ha ha”
“shut up” Jack seems pissed.
“ok enough for the joke, let’s open this”
there is a key fragment made by bone inside.
“what’s wrong with Captain Blackeye !? he made a legend about his treasure, then leave without locking it, and then guess what is inside... a key !?” Jack getting more pissed.
“maybe this is no ordinary key Jack, I feel a strange feeling when getting closer with it”
“whatever is this let’s back to ship now maybe Anne found something, but be carefull ! maybe there’s another traps still working”
In their way to the rock before, they face many traps, but now all traps suddenly stop working or dissapear, weird.
At the ship, Anne has there already.
“Kidd where’s my Key ?” Anne asked.
“no ! tell me what is this ? is this junk the Blackeye treasure ? what is this ?”
“stupid kid, ok I’ll tell ya.. this is a magical keys to control the Kraken ! Captain Blackeye was Kraken master, that is why he can conquer all the seas”
“I won’t allow you to do that Anne !” suddenly Francis attack Anne. Anne and the rest of her crew seem have a wound because of trap when seek for the other fragment. Kidd and Jack helps Francis. they won the fight, but anne suddenly throw something to the sea.
“if I can’t have the blackeye treasure.. no one can !”
but then.. something picking it ! it is Bonnet ! then she give the fragment to Jack.
Jack suddenly robbing Kidd’s fragment and and then fuse it. Something strange happened then, the sky become dark and lightning thunder everywhere.
“Jack ! what are you doing !? don’t do it, you’ll die !!”
“hey sir Francis.. I just want to control the kraken, after all I am a pirate too”
“what do you mean he’ll die? you know something and you’re not telling me isn’t it ?” Kidd asked francis.
Suddenly A giant tentacle smashing the Red Caesar. The attack split the ship in two pieces, Jack dissapear, maybe Kraken took him into davy jones locker. Anne and her crew got a bad injuries, francis left hand bleeding. lucky Kidd, he just got a litlle wound around his left eye.
“stupid Jack ! only the Blackeye pirate or the descendants of the crew can control the Kraken” Francis said.
“what ? why you know so many thing Francis ? who are you !?” Kidd asked.
“as you just know, I am former admiral.. not many people know this... eventhought I am a Marine Admiral I also Captain Blackeye Bestfriend, he was dying of illness when he asked me this 14 years ago .. he told me to keep an eye of you. now the only one can control Kraken is just you, the son of Captain Blackeye, I’ve been watching you since you’re babies.
Kidd only be silent without words. He can’t say anything.
I know you’re a good person kidd, if Kraken controlled by a Lunatic like Anne she definitely will cause a huge war. Take this magical key, fullfill your destiny as a Pirate, or i can say this is your family legacy.. and Captain blackeye is just name.. the truth is, his eyes are blue.. like you.” francis said.
“ok, I’ll do this ! I’ll be a greatest pirates ever, surpassing Captain Blackeye, I mean.. my father thank you Francis, thankyou very much !”
Three years later. Kidd came back to Mr. Roberts bar, he stand alone at door and then shouted.
“Misteeer I am back to fulfill my promise ! hahaha”
“wow, why back so fast Thomas ? this is too soon, are you has giving up your dream ? you dissapoint me son.
Kidd smiling.
“no way mister ! now I am known as the famous Captain Kidd, yo ho ho ”
“hahaha.. right right, where’s your crew if it’s right ?
Kidd raise his left hand, then screaming.
“Mate !?”
Behind kidd, thousand pirate get off their ship, they scream together.
“Captain Kidd !!!”
