"It looks like we'll be going to the crystal tropics."

"In that case, I need another drink. The game's not over yet!"

"What's wrong with the tropics?! Come on now, Bartholomew, don't you want to set sail?"

"Sure I do. Sure I do. After another round.~"
3 Rounds Later...

"You know what? Why sail anywhere? The sun's too hot and the moon's too dim. You-you two can go without me, I should stay and, no- you know what? It'd be a shame to waste the wind."

"Aye. I'll drink to that."

"So we
are setting sail then?"

"Seems so."

"Absolutely not! We're just going to-, on a little, excursion. Nothing wrong with letting the wind guide the way...partly. We'll go to the trading ports and trade what's here, and see what's there." *hic*

"Right. I'm sure there's plenty to plunder where there's mounds of goods about. Isn't that right Kidd?"

"You shut your face Morgan, you half-cut plume! We're lookin' for barrels, crates...chests, not powder!"

"We've plenty of chests here Kidd. More to come too with the mighty three haulin' them by the day. Best cleverly stock them safe, someplace remote no? Do you know anyplace...remote?~"

"Lots of places...on the mapss remote, o'course. I think we shoulds sstay after all. You two are
clearly not onboard with the trading port at all!"

"'Hoy there. How goes the game?"

"Miserably Roger, my boy. Miserable. Even when he's stunk with rum, he's got the winnin' hand."

"Ah...uh...th-that's not a card, that's a leaf dad."

"...I know that! What do you think cards are made of, mm?"

"Ahahahahahaha!"

"What are you laughing at, y'frog-faced sea dog?"

*Kidd points to another imperial, looking rather defeated and embarrassed after having been slapped across the mug by an offended lady dragon, laughing at him*

"Well,
that didn't work at all." *rubs his face*

"Heheheh, it won't be the first time, nor the last, boy."

"Really didn't deserve that. All I asked for was a harmless tail comparison."

!!! *wheezes with laughter, coughing and falling over*

"
Well. No wonder. Hmhm, yep, that'll certainly leave your face with the mark of angel claws.~"

"If yer on the floor, you give up yer hand!"

*stops laughing and sits back up, sneering* "Nnnever!"

"So I find you here...
father."

"Hey. Who let
you in here?"

"I came here to let father know he's got something he owes me."

"...it's...not finished."

"Hmh. Typical."

"Y'know what?! HA! I win! I'll take my treasure. I'll take the ship. And YOU two. Let's! We're going! I changed me mind suddenly!"

"Let me guess. To the crystal tropics, hm?"

"Wh-! You-!..NO! We're not sailing anywhere near the blasted place!"

"To port?"

"Nay, starboard."

"Or where she takes the sails to! You think you're so smart boy? You can't tame the sea! Y' can't even tame yer
nose."

"What does that even mean?"

"It means 'mind your own business.'"
