So it's late at night on Saturday and I have nothing better to do with my non-existent social life than write up this final chapter of Miraculous Pirates!.
I.O.N.
Enjoy!

Chat Noir laughed as he carried the large bags of money and jewels as the Governor's guards chased him. The governor himself was hiding away in his manor nursing his rage and avoiding as much embarrassment as possible. With an infuriating grin, he led them through the town heading towards the port, and towards Tikki. Before he realized it, two or three guards that had gotten a little too close were taken down with surprised grunts.
The shadows that had brought them down melted back into the shadows of the surrounding buildings and began to run ahead of even Chat Noir.
For a time, it looked as if Chat Noir had escaped them until they reached the pier and saw a ship beginning to head out and they saw a dark figure with clawed gloves waving goodbye. The guards began shouting abuse at the escaping ship. Right up until they saw the name of the ship. Then the governor's guards nearly trampled each other to get away from the sea and the pirates that had just left them.

Lila glared intensely at the piece of paper that sat innocently in front of her. As if her anger alone would convince the information that was held in the paper to appear. Unfortunately for her temper, it stayed completely unchanged and blank.
"You know miss Lila, all that glaring you're doin' is only gonna cause you pain in the head." One of the sailors joked as he stood in her doorway.
"Is that a fact." Lila replied with icy politeness.
The sailor raised his hands in surrender, "Didn't mean no harm. Just trying to distract you from your troubles."
"If I had wanted someone's advice, I would have asked." Lila was snappish, but at that moment she didn't really care, all she wanted was for the sailor to leave. However, despite her clear dismissal, the man continued to stand in her door, a stupid little grin on the older man's face. After a few minutes of angrily glaring at the man, Lila finally snapped. "Is there a reason you are here? Other than to be a nuisance?"
With a laugh, the sailor answered her angry question, "Well now that you mention it, the Captain said Lord Dylan-"
"Why do you do that?"
"I beg your pardon?"
"I meant why don't you call Lord Dylan the Captain. Isn't it his boat?" Lila questioned despite her annoyance with him.
If anything, the sailor's infuriating grin grew, "Well you see, Lord Dylan might own the boat, but unless he's the one steering her and defending her and her crew, she isn't his. Any good captain is loyal to their ship and their crew. So you see, while that noble in the fancy clothes thinks he's really the captain because he owns her, he isn't her captain, nor is he ours. Does that answer your question, Miss Lila?" In spite of how annoying he was, forgetting the fact this was the first conversation she'd ever had with the man, Lila felt a grudging respect for the sailor.
"Yes. Thank you."
"Then as I was saying, Lord Dylan wanted to speak with you."
"Do you know why?"
"Nope, I'm only the messenger ma'am."
"Has anyone ever told you how annoying you can be."
"Why should someone tell me what I already know?"
