Explosion everywhere my crew screaming in pain, ship falling apart, and pirates boarding my ship. All look grim for me and my crew to see the skull and crossbones flowing in the breeze of the North Atlantic air. But knowing me I don't ever back down from a fight especially if the odds are stack against me. I smiled and shouted to my crew "come on lads let's show them that the what the Yoko crew has to offer!" My crew felt the sudden burst of determination and draw there swords and charge to the incoming pirates. With my six pistols lock and loaded and my two swords I ran into battle slicing and stabbing my way through enemy pirates. As I draw my pistol and turn around I see a man wearing a hoodie with his weapon drawn to my face. We stare each other in the eyes looking to each other's soul as if we were judging how twisted are sins really are.
*I move my head out of his line of fire as he pulled the trigger. He does the same as I pulled mine. He pulled his blade out and we our swords clash now once again back into a staring contest.*
What is it that you want lad? His response was you not breathing anymore. We push ourselves away from each other from about four feet apart.
*we look up at each other and ran towards one another. Before we can cross blows a cannon ball hit the side of my ship knocking both of us in the water.*
As I sink to the bottom of the ocean I can see my ship exploding and falling apart with my dead crew members in the ocean belly side down. All I can think to myself is this the end of my reign as king of the seven seas? I close my eyes and was about to accept my faith until I heard a voice.

Yoko...Yoko...Yoko! Now I know you won't be sinking to Davy Jones locker that easily now? I open my eyes and see me flowing above me. "Get up I know the most feared man of the seven seas is not going soft on me?" I shook my head no and got angry. "That's the spirit now swim to the surface and go kill the man that attack you."
  I shook my head and started swimming towards the surface. I realize I was almost out of breath but I made it and took my gasp for fresh air. I grab a piece of drift wood and saw my ship cover in flames slowly sinking to the bottom of the ocean.
"Goodbye old girl we had a lot of good times together." As I bow my head to pay respect for my ship and crew I saw a near by island and swam to it to collect my bearings. After twelve long mintues I made it to shore.
*panting* I made it.
