Queen Athena, wife to King Triton, was captured by pirates making sure her eldest daughter was able to get away.
However she was rescued by another pirate, this one nicer than the one who captured her. And due to an injury to her tail, she was force...
DJ sighed and shook his wounded hand as he walked along the dock and up the board to the first ship in the line of ships. Most of the pirates were still on his, still partying, but there were a few pirates on the others who stared at him with concerned and confused looks as he walked by, bloodied and tired.
Finally he got to his ship and immediately found his group of friends still sitting where they had been when he left as well as his Quartermaster.
"Cap'n! What happened?" Gibbs asked, eyes wide upon seeing him. DJ ignored him for a moment and grabbed a nearby bottle of rum, taking a big drink of it before letting out a sigh.
"Next time we catch a rule breaker who has also kidnapped a woman, holds her hostage for days, we kill them and not just destroy the ship" he said leaning against the railing, drinking again. Gibbs was quiet for a few seconds before his eyes went wide again.
"Skunkbeard?" He asked as DJ nodded.
"Wanted to take my rank as captain before he took my ship on a rule breaking spree. I stopped him from doing so" he said downing the bottle before gasping for air as this drink had been longer than the last ones.
"I'm going to bed" he said placing the empty bottle on the railing and began making his way to the captain's Quarters. However before he could enter, a voice called out, instantly making him freeze.
"Hello son" it said.
DJ took a deep breath before he slowly cracked his neck once and turned around to see another man standing near his friends with a smile on his face.

Looking more carefully now, DJ saw that another ship was docked beside his own so his was no longer the furthest in the line and there was more people on his boat than there had been when he left. And the ship next to his was larger by far with a little more than 20 cannons on each side.
"Blackbeard" he said with a nod and as much respect as he could, but no smile. The man, now known as Blackbeard, chuckled and took a few steps forwards.
"You know you can call me 'dad' or 'father' right, lad?" He asked. DJ smiled and looked down before he took a few steps forwards himself before staring at the man.
"Can I?" He asked in a questioning tone. Blackbeard's smile faltered and his hand dropped until it was rested on one of his hip flintlocks.
DJ saw this before he reached behind him and gripped one of his, hoping the powder wasn't wet from the swim during his fight with Skunkbeard.
However he took a breath and released his grip and stood straight with his arms at his side, giving Blackbeard a clear shot.
"If you kill me, the Brethren will brand you a rule breaker. And for every bounty ship you sink, your reward will keep going higher and higher. Until they finally decide to team up against you. Let's see how your 40 guns hold up against all that, especially when you can stock up at any Brethren friendly port. And I don't think the king will appreciate your business" DJ said stepping closer, as if he was daring the older man to do something.
