Betrayal

5 days until the full moon

"Wake up poppet" The sound boomed throughout the room as a bucket of cold water was suddenly thrown toward Wooyoung, who jolted up

"We have arrived," a crewmate of Barbossa said and walked towards him holding his arm harshly and pulling him up.

They all pulled the young pirate along with them and held him on top of the ship.

Barbossa came from the side and harshly held him tight in his place, taking the gold Aztec coin out from his pocket and tying it to Wooyoung's neck. Wooyoung felt the weight of the cursed coin around his neck, a tangible reminder of the perilous situation he found himself in.

They all boarded small boats hanging on the side of the black pearl. The small boats creaked as the crew boarded them, and Wooyoung was placed in one of them, his hands tightly bound. The crew members rowed with an eerie synchronization, their skeletal features illuminated by the faint glow of the cursed moon.

As they navigated through the cavern's dark waters, the walls seemed to close in on them, adorned with eerie phosphorescent fungi that emitted an otherworldly light. The atmosphere was thick with an unsettling silence, broken only by the sound of echoing oars and the distant moans of the cursed souls trapped on the island.

The boats eventually reached a hidden dock within the cavern. Barbossa, still holding Wooyoung, led him onto the rocky shore. The crew members gathered around, their hollow eye sockets fixed on the young pirate. Wooyoung couldn't help but feel a shiver run down his spine as he stood at the heart of the cursed island.

They all reached a dark tunnel and mercilessly pushed Wooyoung to move with them.

Wooyoung halted momentarily and looked at the hundreds of gold coins and treasure all over the place.

The glittering wealth seemed to extend endlessly, creating an otherworldly spectacle that both fascinated and unnerved him.

The cursed crew urged him forward, their skeletal hands pushing him deeper into the heart of the treasure trove. The air in the tunnel felt heavy with an ancient aura, and Wooyoung's footsteps echoed against the cold, stone walls.

As he moved further into the darkness, the crew's whispers filled the air. Strange incantations and cryptic chants surrounded him, creating an unsettling atmosphere. Wooyoung's eyes darted nervously, trying to discern the purpose of their journey into this mysterious place.

The tunnel opened up into a vast cavern, revealing a hidden chamber filled with an unimaginable hoard of riches. In the center of the chamber, atop a pedestal, was an ornate chest adorned with intricate carvings. Barbossa, with a sinister grin, gestured towards the chest.

"Ye brought us the final piece, lad," Barbossa proclaimed, his voice echoing through the cavern.

Wooyoung, still bewildered by the surreal surroundings, glanced at the chest. It emanated an ominous energy.

When he suddenly remembered

Blood to be repaid

San Seonghwa and Hongjoong sat in a long boat and rowed into a dark tunnel that would lead to the treasure of Isla de Muerta.

San looked around and noticed a skeleton lying on a rock nearby, and his eyes widened.

"What code is Mingi to keep to if the worst should happen?"

"Pirates Code," Hongjoong explained. "Any man who falls behind..."

"...gets left behind." Seonghwa finished.

"No heroes amongst thieves, eh?" San commented and the two laughed at him.
