Clarence Marlow has never dealt with such a curious case before. As second-in-command at Scotland Yard, it's up to him to solve the case of the mysterious Jack the Ripper, as the papers so eloquently named the serial killer terrorizing the citizens of London. With the help of Bernard Hastings, the kindhearted chief of police, Mary Jane Kelly, a quick-witted resident of Whitechapel, Newt Reuben, the resourceful orphan, and Florica Herne, a beautiful performing gypsy, the case may be cracked. But will Jack the Ripper be undone in time? You, the reader, must collect clues for yourself in this thrilling new tale spun by X herself. Can you solve the case before time runs out? A warning from X: This story is not marked Mature, but you must be aware that there are a few *questionable* scenes that you cannot skip if you want to understand the story. If you don't want to read these particular parts of the story, it is not for you and X will not be offended if you scroll past this and never read it. And an additional side note: X has tried to stay true to the facts, researching killing methods, places, and victims of Jack the Ripper, but most of these happenings are purely fictional. She reserves the right to blend truth with-- well, lies. CREDIT TO TASTYWORDS16 FOR THE INCREDIBLE SHERLOCK SOUNDTRACKS!

Newfound allies. An old enemy. A rumor about a massive treasure buried by the famous Captain Ito on the most dangerous island in the world. In this anticipated sequel to Motley, the Marziale Motley pirates continue their infamous adventures, this time squaring off against the royal navy in a race to find the hidden treasure on the mysterious Jete island. Has Nori finally met her match in the two-faced chief of the cannibals? Who exactly is this new crew member, and is he really related to Ito? Did the captain miss her target on purpose? And Kei can't really tame lions, can he? All of these questions and more will be answered in this exciting sequel! (cover by kameharu_x herself) If you haven't read the previous book, Motley, the author politely suggests that you should read that first. It is just as good. Thank you.

"You're a captain? Of what?" Nori glanced sideways at Michi. "It's a secret. You can't tell anyone." "Cross my heart and hope to die!" "Yeah... We're all pirates." Nori Akagi thought she had it made with the rest of the Marziale Motley pirate crew. Being captain was the ideal job, since she could escape her bloody past and at the same time take what she wanted as an outlaw. Then her crew ran into the Rose Marquis, a crew even more murderous than the Marziale with more sinister intentions. Will Nori's untimely downfall really come from the mysterious Ivory Prince, or does she still have a few tricks up her sleeve? *at the end of every chapter, I have selected a very special song to go with that part of the story. Check them out while you read and you won't be disappointed!* A note from X: This was written a year or two ago and has not been edited since. Therefore one can conclude that X's writing is not up to the standard that she holds today. So here is the point: DESPITE MOTLEY'S POPULARITY, DO NOT JUDGE X'S QUALITY OF WRITING OFF MOTLEY. She is not ashamed of Motley but has learned how to create better stories since then. She would now like to advertise her short story, Just Call Me Jack. Highly praised, easy-to-read, juicy and dripping with gore and mystery, and the closest to romance X will ever get to. Thank you. Enjoy Motley. Motley is X's baby. <3
