The School O'Crossbones: The Dawn Of The Spirit Slicer

Shakira "Scarbelly" Isabella's Log - Day 1 - Part 19 - The Sorting Quest

Finally we'd be done with the crooked cook and 'er blasted broth!

I've dealt with the likes of 'er before, last year she tried to flambé me like rotisserie chicken!

Ye should 'ave seen it! She tried usin' a flamethrower on me and everything!

So t'was a good thing Aqua coaxed the callous cur into dousing herself!

Now that be thinkin'on yer feet!...or should i be sayin' fins?

We managed to get Aqua into another water barrel, lucky that this be the kitchen.

However Aqua offered to stay behind a bit longer to help recover Zamora back to 'ealth.

I asked 'er why she'd be offerin' to help Zamora after the dirty fightin' she put us through,

As I remembers it, Zamora was very much 'appy with  'elpin' 'erself to OFF each and every one o' us lot.

"Shi still a somebody weh need help. Mi waan be a doctor, a di right ting fi do." Aqua replied.

Not that I be surprised at 'er answer, from the moment I met 'er she seemed to be the carin' type. I was 'opin' that she believed in her passion 'nuff too.

Besides, I needed to be figurin' out the next course to go with Ricardo, Billie-Jean and Annie.

We be needin' to finally storm the main deck, climb the mast and make our way to defeat the Quartermaster of The Alienated Ant-Farm, Adam.

And after we finally keelhaul the overgrown insect then we can finally 'ead over to the 'ead of { The Alienated Antfarm },
The Captain Baroness Bueña Borombon Rudd.

[SHIP MAP]

We just need to make a beeline back into the cannon 'all and climb the stairs.

"Awight! We're nearly done!" Cheered a cheerful Ricardo.

But on the other 'and, Billie-Jean was less than chuffed.

"Oi landed on the deck with Aqua, first. It was teemin' with Ant Pirates!" Billie-Jean recounted their tale.

If you can believe it, even I was surprised when Billie-Jean told me that they carried Aqua on their back!

So I tells the little tyke, that they be five of us now. We can take the 'ole lot of 'em!

We just need to set our eyes on the mast. Like I've said before, last year me and the other zombies pulled down the mast and we got the coins from there! [sadly we plundered no brains though...]

Then I turns to see Aqua drying off Zamora, 'elpin ' the bug up on her six legs and cleanin' up 'er mess. She didn't really need to be doin' this.

Heck I doubt she'd even get the chance once we get on the high seas. They don't tend to be forgivin' with pirates showin' compassion.

But I admire that she's not backin' down. It's just be rare to see as all.

"Calm yerself, lock yer eyes and rest easy." Aqua spoke softly to Zamora, who took it well.

"....urgggh....rub it in, why don' you?" Zamora grumbled at first but took Aqua's advice in the end. "Fine. I know when I've been beaten."

Aqua offered to pick pots and pans off the kitchen floor only for Zamora to refuse. "Look, I'll clean up. I've got ACTUAL dinner to cook tonight and I have to deal with all the other trainee tykes that come treading through my kitchen. In fact you horrible lot should make yourselves scarce!"

The absolute nerve. Zamora has the gall to tell us to get out after Aqua tried to 'elp the likes o' crooked cooks such as 'er? Ye think she'd be more grateful.
