The 'Tail' of the Great Captain Sushie

Chapter 10: A New 'Tail' Begins

Everyone is celebrating at the feast prepared by the Yoshis

Bomber: chowing down on food Mmm. This is so good.

Kassie: Who'd have thought Yoshi's were this good at cooking.

Lackertu: And it's just fruit. How do they make it taste so good?

Blue Yoshi: Who wants some Yoshi Cookies?

All three: We do!

Sushie: watching from afar, sighs

Gooly: Everything well Captain?

Sushie: Ah, Gooly. Yeah, everything's alright.

Gooly: I just thought you'd be celebrating with all the others.

Sushie: Well I was never much of a party fish, even back as a kid I preferred to just hang around.

Gooly: I see. Whatever makes you float I guess.

Sushie: Say Gooly, I've been thinkin'.

Gooly: Go on. What is it?

Sushie: You see, when I first stowed away on Whiskers ship this morning to Rouge Port, I never in my life thought I'd be here of all places in just a single day. A ship, a crew, some incredible first mates like you, Bomber, Kassie, and Lackertu. It almost feels like this was destined to happen.

Gooly: I guess you could chalk it up to gift from Big Bertha herself, who I'm sure is still looking down on her Cheep Cheep.

Sushie: Indeed. And you know, I think this day's made me reconsider my ambitions.

Gooly: What do you mean by that?

Sushie: I originally wanted to, well, be a pirate. Pillaging gold, sinking ships, and doing as a pirate does. But, saving this island from Whiskers for the Yoshis has made me realize that we can be more than 'just' pirates. We could be pirates that instead of invokin' fear, we invoke a sense of prosperity to the seas. This water's been at war for hundreds of years between us and the Bloopers, and I want to do what I can to win this war for Big Bertha, and reclaim the sea from the Bloopers. Even if our actions are small, just stealing stolen gold from the Bloopers and giving it back, sinking any Blooper ships we can to dwindle their numbers, or just lending a hand to those in need to build face to our side. I want to make a not just a ripple, but a wave of change across the sea. But I can't do this on my own. Will you and your crew lend me your strength and help fight this war against the Bloopers?

Gooly: ... I'll follow you to the ends of earth Captain. 'Our' crew is yours to command.

Sushie: Thank you Gooly. Now, how's about we get some drinks before settlin' down. Tonight, we feast. Tomorrow, we set out to change the sea.

Gooly: Aye aye Captain.

Sushie' Monologue: And that's exactly what we did. From that day forward, our crew would sail the Mushroom Kingdom seas fighting as many Bloopers as we could muster. Bringing back stolen gold, sinking ships, and just lending a fin to those in need. It was through these actions that our name started to be spread across the sea, and in five years time, everyone worth their sea salt knew the name Captain Sushie as we were the fifth highest rated pirates of all time. It had been a dream of mine to reach this level of fame, and thanks to me crew, it finally came together. That, would have been the end of my story, had it not been for a certain someone that happened to come into my life.
