"JIMIN RUN!"

The woman, by the name of Park Yubin, screams to her child. Jimin holds her hand as she guides him through the thick forests of the Myoui Dynasty. Jimin follows his mom obediently but as they stop for rest, he asks, "Mom, why are we running? Where's dad?"

She fixes his hair while panting and says, "Your dad will be back with your sister. He told us to go to Chou Nation." They stand up and continue running but Jimin does notice something weird about his mother. She keeps looking back. Like she lost something. Like someone is after them but being the innocent kid Jimin is, he rids himself of negative thoughts.

They cross the border and end up in Chou territory. His mother slows down the pace and they continue to walk on an old pathway. Suddenly, they are surrounded by a group of pirates. The man says, "State your business. Don't lie, we just saw you come from Myoui territory."

Yubin stands tall and proud and says, "Captain Jeon, Park Jiyong sent us." She flashes a tattoo on her stomach and the man sheathes his sword and lowers his pistol. He says sternly, "The ship is leaving soon. We must hurry." They end up on a boat and Jimin asks his mother, "Mommy, where we going?" She pats his back and says, "A better place."

Captain Jeon guides them to a room and a little kid playing with toy ships is seen. He says, "Jungkook, greet our guests. They'll be using this room." The boy salutes and says, "Aye aye captain!" Yubin meets with Captain Jeon, leaving Jimin alone with Jungkook.

The kid stares at Jimin then yells, "Ultra Killer Pirate Squad ASSEMBLE!" Suddenly, the door opens and three more kids show up. They salute Jungkook and he says, "Introduce yourselves privates!" One kid chuckles and says, "Hehehe, you said private." Jungkook smacks his head and says, "Introduce yourselves!"

The boy who was just hit says, "Double B. I'm Bambam." The taller girl next to him says, "I'm Tzuyu." The other tall girl says, "Lalalalalisaaa! That's my name." Jimin stands shyly and says, "I'm Jimin." Jungkook wraps his arm around his neck and says, "You're part of our squad now. We're going to be elite pirates. Dad promised us!"

20 years later

CS Jeon boards the port as the elite pirate squad returns home. There are people gathered in the streets to celebrate another successful plunder from the aces of the Chou Nation. Bambam says as he stares at a group of girls chanting his name, "This is my favorite part." Lisa says, "Keep it in your pants. We have to meet with Tzuyu's mom." Tzuyu stays quiet as Jungkook stands next to her and says, "Cheer up Tzuyu, we just hit our biggest bounty."

Jimin then says, "Hopefully, it's enough to convince your mom to let you stay with us." They enter the humble castle as Tzuyu's mom and her personal guard claps their hands. They bow to her highness and Tzuyu takes her rightful spot by the throne. The queen says, "A very successful mission, what a good way to end your pirating days."

Tzuyu stays quiet while her fellow sailors wait for her to speak up. They remain quiet until Tzuyu breaks it with her soft voice, "Mom..." Her mother turns to her and places a hand on Tzuyu's shoulder. She says, "Fine." Tzuyu looks up with teary eyes as her mom says, "I'll let you go but that's only because I'm still very young and beautiful. Right?" The entire room cheers and says, "Very beautiful!"

Tzuyu runs down to her friends as a group hug forms. Jimin notices that his mother is standing there smiling at the group. He separates and says, "I got you a present." He hands her a ruby necklace and says, "I found that on the Captain's chest." She hugs him and says, "It's beautiful."

Suddenly the door slams open and a man yells, "Momo tribe has arrived. Everyone turns to the man as they run urgently towards the dock. Jungkook sees the emblem on the massive boat that just arrived and says, "Ahh, they're here." The boat docks and the elite pirate squad welcomes the incoming guests.

The future chief jumps out of the boat and yells, "KYAAAA!" The rest of their crew gets down and they stand face to face with Jungkook's crew.

Hoseok says, "I love their hospitality." Seulgi unsheathes her blade and says, "I hate the ocean, but at least we get to crack some skulls." Yugyeom puts her sword down and says, "We can't hit them unless they hit us first. Direct orders from the chief." Seulgi sheathes her blade and Momo walks up confidently to Tzuyu's face.

The shorter girl looks up and says, "Hey beautiful, we're here to meet with your mom. Mind taking us there?" A stern and authoritative voice says, "No need. But, what brings the daughter of the chief herself, to our humble nation." Momo smiles brightly and throws a bag on the ground. Jungkook looks at it questionably then slowly approaches it.

He notices the blood dripping and opens it slowly. As soon as he notices what's inside, he throws it on the ground and gags. Momo says, "We found some of your pirates in our lands hunting our animals. Last time I checked, that's a violation of our treaty." The queen stares at the head inside the bag and says, "He's a rogue. We have no affiliations with this man." Momo then claps her hands once and says, "Oh ok. Now for the important message. The kingdoms are meeting and I don't know why but I had to tell you personally. I guess they don't want the Myoui Dynasty to find out about the meeting."

Everyone looks at her questionably and she hands over a scroll with the royal seal of the Kingdom of Park. Momo says, "I guess my job here is done." They leave quickly not wanting to start a fight and the queen prepares for the historic meeting. The queen thinks to herself, "Why don't they want the Myoui's there?"

She calls over Jungkook's crew and says, "Let's go. It's a long journey to the Kingdom of Park."

They board their supplies and journey to the mainland. Jungkook says, "I've been there once. It's too confusing. They have guns like ours but they shoot faster and more. They also have this shining armor on their bodies which make them harder to kill. But they suck at fighting, they're just a bunch of nerds."

Bambam laughs ands says, "Ha, I bet they have to go to school. Like nerds do." Tzuyu smacks his head with the flat part of her sword and says, "You calling me a nerd, shorty?" He stands up and says, "I'M TALLER THAN YOU!" Jimin separates the fight and says, "We're going for peace reasons. Let's not kill anyone."

Lisa then asks, "So the Myoui's aren't going to be there?" Jungkook nods and she says, "What a bummer, I wanted to see them samurais and ninjas." Jimin then asks, "Why aren't they going to be there?" Tzuyu shrugs her shoulders and says, "Even if we did invite them, they won't go. They are too cocky for that."

A few days of sailing and they arrive. They stare outside the boat and admire the great walls of the Kingdom of Park. Their ship board and Jungkook taps Jimin's shoulder. He says shocked, "There's a Myoui boat here."
