They continued walking through the tunnel, which outstretched for miles.

Fortunately the Guardians arrived at Westport Harbor, the main transit for ships across the seas. Exiting through the tunnel, they could see a massive pirate ship anchored to the water below.

The ship had sleek and pristine windows, newly painted hulls, and all around perfectly woven sails.

"Wow, that thing is massive!" Marcus said ecstatic.

"I'm just curious as to where the captain is," Scarlett observed.

As if summoning him out of thin air, a pirate captain emerged on the ship's bow, his dashing and flowing golden hair whisking him downwards onto the deck.

"Good afternoon y'all!" he exclaimed.

This is the legendary Captain James "Monty" Snow, who, despite his dashing good looks and charm, is frequently underestimated for his cunning and intellect, which allow him to outwit every opponent he has ever met in Gaia.

After swooping down from the ship, Snow notices Andrion standing with the Guardians.

He welcomes his old friend with a huge hug.

"Andrion, it's good to see you! It's been too long," Snow remarked.

The Gunslinger chuckles at Snow, wrapping him in another hug.

"As to you, my friend, I see time has been good to you," Andrion replied.

He then introduced his old pirate friend to the rest of the Guardians who stood behind him.

"My name is Captain Snow, but you can call me Snow," he said, sticking out his hand. "I am the proud commander of this vessel."

Jordan shook his hand.

Snow said, "All right, welcome to the Black Dagger."

The Black Dagger, has seen its fair share of fights in the underground world known as pirating.

Earth lost the majority of the world's transportation system after the Collapse which in turn changed humanity. Years later, the production of pirate ships increased, and became the new standard for Gaia.

People from all over the world will be able to cross the seas from country to country comfortably.

All changed when the Black Rat Mafia a local guild of mercenaries, pirates, smugglers, and traders helped create new life after the Collapse.

For years the B.R.M. had taken control over the seas, monitoring who goes in and what goes out of Gaia's oceans.

They hadn't caused any trouble recently, but due to their rapidly rising popularity, they had quickly attracted King Ellis' attention.

As a result, he and their boss, Kahayan, sat down and forged the 7 Seas Treaty. According to some sources, the Black Rat Mafia would gain full ownership of Gaia's seas and their entirety if they provided public transportation for the citizens of Gaia.
