Atop the roofs of Port Prisma's buildings

Silver continues to hop between roofs like it's nothing while being pursued by Kelpbeard

Kelpbeard: I demand you to stop! Give it back!

Silver: still running How bout no. hops through a window of a house and runs through it Pardon me. Coming through. Pay me no attention. jumps out a window from the other side back onto a roof

Kelpbeard: squid jumps over the roof and continues the chase

The two pirates continue their parkouring across several roofs before coming across the main plaza

Kelpbeard: looks down and sees some Blooper Pirates You! Start shooting ink at that Cheep Cheep!

Blooper Pirates: Uh, okay? starts firing ink at Silver who's caught off guard and gets his eyes covered in ink

Silver: wipes the ink off with his long fin, just as he sees Kelpbeard with his sword drawn draw near him. He manages to draw his sword and block the attack.

The two then engage in a swordfight atop the roofs with Blooper firing ink at Silver from below. Eventually, Silver staggers Kelpbeard and once again runs off with Kelpbeard not far behind. Silver keeps running until he runs out of rooftop near the port with nothing but ground fifty feet below him.

Kelpbeard: Well, draws sword looks like there's no where left to run.

Silver: holding the compass in his fin I've spent a long time trying to get this off of ya, and I ain't gonna hand it back to ya.

Kelpbeard: You have no idea the magnitude that compass means not just to the Bloopers, but the war itself.

Silver: Of course I know. The fabled compass that can reveal the location of Gooper Blooper. The biggest weapon the Bloopers have against us Cheep Cheep.

Kelpbeard: Precisely. That compass has been passed down for hundreds of years to ensure no Cheep Cheep could ever seek him out and kill him. Or that's what I would say, if he had any weaknesses.

Silver: You're right. It's a shame he doesn't have a weakness or even one us Cheep Cheep know of.

Kelpbeard: Exactly draws near him

Silver: gives a smug grin So it's a good thing I know of a Blooper who does know his weakness.

Kelpbeard: stops What?

Silver: See ya. drops off the roof

Kelpbeard: rushes to the edge to find Silver, but sees no sign of him. He turns around to get off the roof just as Silver is seen hiding under an awning

Silver: drops down and makes his way to the port where a passenger ship is set to leave Room for one more? hands the steward a gold coin

Steward: Right this way.

Silver: Thank you. boards the ship

At that moment, Kelpbeard is on the ground searching for Silver, and spots him waving at him as the ship departs

Silver: So long old friend. showing the compass off prominently Don't worry, I'll be sure to polish it for ya. Hahahahaaaaaa!

Kelpbeard: furious, rushes to his ship off the port Crew! Get this ship ready to sail and follow that passenger ship! Long Fin Silver is on it and has the compass!

Kelpbeard's Crew: Aye Aye Captain!

Kelpbeard: You can run Silver, but ya can't hide from Kelpbeard!
