Clara had gotten a lead from a drunken sailor while they were docked at Nassau. There was a sighting of what seemed to be Blackbeard's ship. The only trouble is, the sighting was in British territory. Which meant it would be more dangerous to search. The forts laid about the carribean set up with mortars and any other lines of defense made it exceptionally hard to navigate through.
"If we want to follow them we need to start upgrading our ship, captain." Samuel said to Clara as the crew ran about stocking the ship and preparing to part.
"Then we need you to go through and make a list of materials we need, money we need and anything else we need to make our ship the ultimate killing machine on the seven seas. I want Edward himself to shiver in his boots at our arrival." Clara replied.
Edward was the second most feared pirate in the seven seas, he used to sail under Blackbeard. Once he proved his loyalty Blackbeard gave him a smaller six man vessel. Then he worked his way up tell he got a strong ship and a strong crew. Over the years he had become more and more of a blood thirsty pirate, he was nice to his friends but if you got on his bad side he had a reputation for gutting men alive.
"Yes, captain, right away." Samuel walked off. Soon the ship was loaded and everyone was ready to go, the slight change of plans meant everyone was a bit happier, knowing they wouldn't have to fight the brits just yet.
Clara began shouting orders to the crew as she turned the ship around and out of dock. "Half sail! Make sure we are nice and clear from any of the other boats!" The crew ran about making sure we were clear, pulling ropes and setting everything up, soon they were free to take full sails and make their way about the Caribbean.
"Captain, here is the list of supplies and the amount of money it will cost to upgrade our ships, our weapons our storage. Once all this is set up we should be able to destroy a Man'O'War with ease." Samuel said making his way back up to the helm. Clara raised her eyebrows, destroying a Man'O'war was an accomplishment in itself, but doing it with ease would surely make them feared.
"Good, we'll keep on the lookout for cargo ships, also continue looking out for slaver ships. We want to make sure we can free as many as possible."
"Where are we headed, captain?"
"Tortuga,"
"But that's a british owned island."
"Which means supplies, Were going to take over these seas and make them pirate owned."
"Aye!" Samuel replied before walking down the steps and onto the deck to make sure everyone was doing their jobs. Mabel remained silent and looked out at the ocean. It was soothing to say the least, the crew broke into another shanty which always brought everyone's spirits up. The ship was moving at a relatively fast speed as Mabel moved the ship in and out of islands.
"Were almost here, Mabel, show us what you got." Clara smiled looking back at Mabel who nodded.
The sun began to disappear as dark clouds rolled in Mabel closed her eyes and focused on tortuga, lightning began to strike around the ship and the rain began to poor making it near impossible to see. Water spouts shot up out of the ocean and spun their way around the island.
"I can't keep the storm here for long, so let's make this a quick attack."
