A Pirate's Life

Hiya!! This story, as you'll see soon enough, as based on Peter Pan!! So enoy!

The Pirate Life. It wasn't an honest life. But it was an exhilarating life. For most, at least. Lucas had been a pirate for a good while. But he never had that satisfaction his crewmates have felt. But this could've been his first real big adventure. "Men! In the Captain's Quarter. I must debrief you all on the story of this palace," the captain said. Lucas, looking out over the edge at the water, looked over to see him. He was a big crocodile. His name was Kaptain K Rool. He walked toward the small steps to the quarters, but before he could get up there, he got pushed aside by some of the much older crew he worked with.

"Watch it, kid," one said. Lucas held himself at the edge of the boat as he was forced to watch everyone else climb up.

"Stupid..." Lucas began grumbling as he started up the stairs. He was luckily barely able to fit into the room everyone else was in. Kaptain K Rool sat at his table. There was a small globe tapped to the desk and a map taped to the desk. K Rool even had a pretty thick book on the table as well.

"You men ready?" He didn't get anything back, assuming they were all ready. He cleared his throat. "Neverland. A mystical island where the dreams of boys come true."

"Really?" Lucas questioned.

"Shut it, kid," the nearest crewmate said as he forcibly shut Lucas's mouth. Lucas spouted a muffled yell at the man.

"If you don't mind sir, wasn't this place watched over by Peter Pan and the Lost Boys?" a crewmate asked. Kaptain K Rool smirked.

"It was. But legend says that Pan decided to finally grow up. Without Pan, the boys had nowhere else to go. Devoting their whole life to him. Now, the island lies vacant. Who knows what kind of treasure could be there." Chattering amongst the crew chimed loudly. "In the next few hours, we'll be docking at Skull Rock. Be ready men. While Pan and the Boys are gone, wildlife could still exist. And of course...mermaids." Kaptain K Rool slammed the book shut. "Now get out there! Break time is over." Everyone began stuttering out of there, pushing Lucas around aggressively.

"Hey! Watch where you're going!!" Lucas yelled at the men once they all left.

"Calm yourself, boy," K Rool said. Lucas turned around toward him.

"They keep pushing me around!"

"As is the life of the youngest crewmate. We've all been through it."

"But–"

"Don't be a softie, boy."

"I-I'm not a boy!! I'm a man like all the others."

"Hah! Don't make me laugh." Lucas just sighed before looking to the ground. K Rool sighed before standing up. He put his scaly hand on Lucas's shoulder. "Listen, you'll eventually be like them. Just be patient."

"But I'm already strong!!" Lucas pleaded as he looked at his captain.

"Heh, you call this strong?" K Rool grabbed Lucas's arm and touched his bicep a little. There was a little resistance there, but not much. "This is what you call strong." K Rool flexed his arms, showing large muscles bumping his biceps.

"I guess so." K Rool smiled and patted Lucas's back.

"You'll get there kid, don't worry. For now...I have a very important job for you." Lucas's face changed nearly instantly. He had yet to do anything major for the crew, just small jobs here and there that even babies could do. He was ready for something more. That was until he saw K Rool holding a bucket of soapy water and a brush. "Cleaning!!"
