Marinette's PoV:

Over time, me and LadyWifi saved all of the akumatised victims on the ship. It took a couple of weeks, but with strategic and careful planning, we finally got there. Surprisingly, everyone wanted to stay and assist me at sea. They all also had sword fighting experience, which was very weird. Anyway, I'm definitely not complaining. Maybe it was the magic of the Ladybug Miraculous. I changed the ship's name to Miraculous Ladybug, in honour of the Ladybug Miraculous. Along with the constant battling and training I did with LadyWifi, I became almost unbeatable, with my injuries becoming less and less severe. Over time, I only sustained the odd scrape here and there. I felt like we should be prepared a bit more, so I trained with my crew members, getting to know them and their fighting styles. Slowly, we also cleaned up the ship, and aired it out. After maybe a couple of months, I felt like we were ready. Of course, during that time, civilians were cautious of suddenly a pirate ship pulling into their beach, but they eventually got used to us when nothing happened. When I was transformed as Ladybug, I knew how to manage a pirate ship like the back of my hand, but as Marinette, it was a lot more complicated. Eventually, I figured out how to convert all my knowledge to my civilian form, and all was okay.

We stocked up on our supplies and goods, trimmed the sails, cleaned the decks and prepared for take off. It was early morning when we dragged up our anchor, and disappeared into the horizon. I consulted LadyWifi, and she said we should go to the town maybe 10 miles away from here. Trusting her, we set off south-west towards the town called Les Sables-d'Olonne. It is a small town on the west coast of France, with not many people, so we could loot all we liked. However, I still wanted to let them live a normal life without wondering how to eat their next meal, so I told my crew to just steal only 1 tenth of their savings. Enough so we could make a good profit, but enough left over for the town's people. I steered the boat a third of the time, LadyWifi and The Evillustrator sharing the rest. When I saw the beginning of land, I dropped the anchor in order to make a plan. To be honest, I was nervous. This was my first time addressing my crew members and putting them on a mission. However, I believed I had made a solid and fool-proof plan based on everyone's capabilities. I also took in their co-operation with other team members, and put them with best possible people to work with. I sent out LadyWifi and The Evillustrator to gather everyone in the main room. Squaring my shoulders, I made my way towards them.

I stepped through the grand doors, purposefully strutting my way down to the head of the table. Everyone's eyes were on me as I took my seat. Taking a deep breath, I began. "As you all know, we need certain resources to keep our ship going. I feel like we need to keep prepared just in case anything should happen. So, this is our first destination of many we are going to in order to get them. I have a plan, and it's going to work." I grinned sassily as my crew members all cheered. "I'm going to put you guys in the best possible group. Princess Fragrance, Reflecta, The Evillustrator and The Mime, you're going to create a diversion, or make the citizens not notice, anything along those lines. Guitar Villain, Stoneheart, The Pharoah, Stormy Weather and Timebreaker, you're going to break into the room where they keep all the treasure and steal around 1/10 of that. I'm trusting you guys to take the right amount. Puppeteer and LadyWifi, you're coming with me. We're going to the arsenal, and taking as much as we need from there. Don't let me down anyone."

After the debriefing, I took out the maps, and showed them all the keys to our success. Things like, where most of the guards are stationed, where most of the people roamed, where the best places to act were, where the damn rooms were, and how to get there. After everyone was informed, I dismissed them to prepare and be back here in 3 hours. The time when we attacked was also crucial and carefully planned. The guards would be more on guard at night, because that's when they expected enemies to come. They wouldn't think of the striking in broad daylight. Sure, they could see better in the day, but I believed in my crew's skills. There was also the angle of the light striking onto the landscape also will help us at the time. Now that everything was out of the way, we just had to face the 'big boss battle'.
