Ok I decided to post another chapter really quick on here. I am probably going to release chapters with different time frames so if I take a long time I apologize ahead of time. Thanks for the review and here is CHAPTER 4!
Chapter 4
The Code, a man, and a surprise
As I wake up I see the sun's early gaze on the horizon. I start to yawn and then go to the bar of King's Arm to find something to drink.
I then said " Hey Johnny! Fetch me some water! " He then stared at me like I had three heads. I dropped about a 100 gold and he rushed to get some water.
I then sat down and then a new person spoke to me. Andrew Bowdash. He asked if I was going onto the seas today and I said aye.
He then said " Lookie here mate, beware the seas today as there are rumors that powerful EITC or Navy fleets will be launched. You can recognize them with a special Insignia on there sails. The EITC war frigates are Tyrants and the Navy's are Elites. They have a powerful ship of the line that I've hard the docksmen are working on building. They ship of the lines are packed full of power with explosives. Take heed of the warning mate."
I then said " Thanks " and went to get my water and walked back to my ship. To Devil's Anvil I supposed. I then unstrapped the sails and started to head back to Devil's Anvil.
After a few hours or so I finally hit the island. I threw an anchor aboard and jumped off of my ship. When I unsheathed my firy sword or my broadsword I could not wield it once more, the burning sensation was back.
Then from nowhere I feel a sharp sting on my back. I turn around to see a huge scorpion lunging for another attack. I parry and slice off the pincer disarming it. But then it started to use its arms.
I sliced those off and then did the final blow, a stab right to the neck. It then also dropped a pouch and as I untied it I found a playing card. A nine of spades.
I then saw animals to my left, scorpions and crabs, and a cave straight ahead of me. I decided to go straight and venture into this unknown cave.
As I walk in a man a strange man said this. " Ye are going to need more than that cutlass if you want to get out of here with yer skin. Now lets see how good you are with the hand cannon. Go ahead shoot at that cursed simian. "
As I catch the pistol barely pulling off the trigger I then turned to the monkey. It showed no signs of being scared. As I check if it is loaded i then fire and a kick came to it. Almost knocking me into the water in this Grotto.
The monkey did not do anything or want to do anything. It climbed back up on the man's shoulders.
He also said this " Now before you go firing at every reckless person in sight a word of warning about The Code. It does not only say the rules but it also says the rules of engagement. Steal from 'em, plunder 'em, torture 'em, burn 'em but no guns! That is unless ye be facing a cursed pirate. An undead pirate does not follow the rules of engagement allowing you to fire upon him. Now goodbye... "
Strangely one moment I was in there, the next walking out the cave. It was weird this caribbean was but strangely I was actually feeling good to feel the rush of excitement and adrenaline. To Tortuga now. I must find the man who helped me out of jail.
He is the only way that I will probably be able to get revenge. As I set sail once more more mist appears, and then I saw it. It was there right before my eyes the same ship.... that had killed my father, and it was right there in front of me.....
