One dark cold summers night, out on the East China Sea, was a group of pirates waiting to plunder any ship that may cross their path. The captain of the ship was a man called Captain Applejacks. No one knows his real name or why he calls himself that or where he came from. His closest comrades were Captain Crunch, Thomas Chapman,and James Caffery. Most of the crew were afraid of this bunch because of the stories they have heard about how terrible they were to their enemies. It was said that they never took prisoners and no one was left alive. One stormy night they were tested. The storm wasn't anything they haven't handled before, but this storm was different. The crew couldn't keep it under control o matter what they did, they were all going…show more content… When they woke up they went further into the island so they could find fresh water to drink and any berries they might come across along the way. They looked hour after hour for fresh water but couldn't find any. So they sat down to rest and passed out from dehydration and hunger. When they woke up they were in a cave and they were tied down and a man was sitting across from them with a bow and arrow. When he saw that they were awake he got up and left. The captain said they needed to get out of here and tried to break his bonds but they wouldn’t budge. Then the guard came back with two buckets with something in them. They pleaded for their lives but the guard did not reply, instead he pulled out a cup and filled it up with whatever was in the bucket. He brought it closer to Crunch and poured into his mouth.

Well they thought that they were about to be executed but they weren’t, he asked them to join them in finding a way to get off the island in exchange for their freedom and the tribes help. The captives agreed to these terms and was told they would soon begin their training. They asked the leader what type of training they would be doing and all that he said was you will see soon enough. Their training was hard and crucial but they agreed to do it so they could survive. They picked up fast and was soon the best fighters in the tribe of criminals. They got together one night and agreed on a plan. Their plan was if they saw a ship they were gonna signal it and barter a passage back to china without the rest of the tribe knowing. Then one day while they were out patrolling the coast they saw a ship they quickly made a humongous fire and signaled the ship. It saw them but it took awhile to get to them. It wasn’t fast enough some of the tribe had seen the smoke and ran to see what it was. So they had to fight off the group of survivors while waiting for the ship to get close. The ship was now close enough to swim to it, so they turned to jump in the crashing waves. Before Captain Crunch could jump
