84 A hope for survival

The sun above shined on the deck as the crew members went on with their daily duties. The sails were adjusted, the deck cleaned, the sewage thrown overboard.

Yes you heard that last part right. The sewage is thrown overboard. And we thought that water pollution was only a modern thing.

The captains stood in their usual area next to the wheel as they chatted. The three of them emitting handsome idol vibes in their pirate clothing. Today Weston was wearing a green bandana around his head. All he needed were three swords and he would complete the look.

I looked down at my outfit as I heard female whispers nearby. The maids were shaving potatoes as they talked about me. When I looked at them they blushed. Today I was dressed in a male pirate outfit. The red coat and black slacks meshed well with the puffy blouse underneath. On top of my head was a pirate hat along with my hair tied back with a red ribbon. The knee high black boots squeaking as I walked on the deck. After waking up and dressing this morning, Clarabella, Jacia, and Daniella said that I looked quite "fetching" as a male. I chuckled. At least I looked good in some form.

The waters were calm as usual. We must've not reached the area near the Southern states yet. As that area has quite the tumultuous weather. In modern times typhoons and hurricanes were common in that area. We needed to get food fast so that we could pull through if a storm were to push us off the route.

"Pass me a lighter."

I turned to see Jacia light her cigar as she smoked. Josh stood next to her with an irritated expression. She caught me staring. Jacia then passed the cigar to Josh and kneeled on the ground.

What the fuck was that bitch doing this time?

She then raised her hips as if she were in the starting line of a track race. She then looked up and smiled as she sprinted towards me.

Jesus Christ I had never felt so scared in my life. Instinctively I dodged out of the way. Jacia then passed me before stopping an inch before the railing. She then walked over and said.

"Why did you dodge my embrace Mila?"

Um? Maybe because you sprinted towards me Usain Bolt style so I was scared for my motherfucking life? Um, maybe it's because I'm a regular human being so I would be afraid of getting run over by your crazy running?

I sighed. It is no use trying to explain to a dumbass like her. I then turned to look over the railing as I saw something move on the horizon towards us. I quickly ran towards the captains.

"Hey! There looks to be some sort of ship coming our way."

The three captains stopped talking as Weston and Francois took out their telescopes. They smirked simultaneously as they said.

"There sure is."

I squinted. These two seem to have been twins in their past life or something.

Baron smiled as he said.

"How far away do they look like they are?"

"A couple of hours away. They aren't that far off anyways."

The three captains smiled like fools as they took out their weapons. Baron licked his lips as he said.

"I've been abstinent from looting for way too long. I'm excited to do this again."

Francois then called out.

"Mes chers amies. Prepare yourselves. Roll out the canons in case. Prepare yourselves for a war!"

The crew members shouted in celebration as they ran around. I scratched my head. Weren't they being way too dramatic about this? I mean I understand the hype as they are pirates but aren't they taking this too far? Weren't we going to ask the other ship for food first?

The captains' eyes shone with amusement as they stared forward. I shivered. They truly were blood thirsty beasts. As I looked towards the ship that was coming towards us I wondered who the captains were. Maybe they were actually decent human beings?

Later I would realize that I have never been more wrong in my entire life.
