PIRATE CROSSING

There once was a pirate named Sir Captain Louis. He was hired by British kings for years. If they needed something he was the only one who could do it without getting caught by other people. One day he stopped working for them when the British king John Edwards III said he got 1/10 of the treasure instead of all of it. He got so mad he said he quit. They threw him in jail.

 While he was in jail he meet people in there that also hated the king. They became his crew for his pirate ship. His Crew was Uly, who had one eye one, one leg, and one feather on his hat. Another member is Bloodshock, whose is real name is Juan Pierre. He was named Bloodshock because when he jumped on a military ship with blood on his face and when the doctor came to see who he was, he shot the doctor right in the chest.

They decided to become pirates when Uly said that he was a pirate who was so good at making ships the British people would buy ships from him. He also said that he could teach them to speak like a pirate.

“Now all you need to say is ye instead of you,” said Uly.

“Like this.  Ye want some of ye’s food,” said Bloodshock.

“No that makes you sound like you don’t know anything,” said Louis.

When they became pirates they decided to escape jail. The night was cold and foggy. They broke right through the bars of the cell and quickly let every other jail members come out of there cell too. They ran and made it to the water when two guards found them and the said, “What are you doing?”

They replied, “We are going to pick up our boat at the dock.”

The guards said, “You might want this lantern.”

When they walked away Louis took their gun in the guard’s belt without the guard knowing.

           

They broke a chain on the biggest boat they could find and took it out to sea. They found stacks of ammo, cannon balls, guns, gold, silver, and most importantly wine. There was a captain room, lobby, and sailor’s room. The boat was great and they could cook because there was a kitchen and still food. Now their journey began.
