With a protesting creak of the pulleys the boat began to lower over the side Both Koke and the otherpirates, but they snored on dead to the world

The boat touched the water with a louder splat of sound than either h

Those in the boat below cast off the ropes and ialley Koke and his helper stared in shock at the betrayal of the to have to dive for it to catch up with the boat

"Where's my boy stud!" Came a drunken shout

It was Sally the Captain and she saw both men at virtually the same moment as they saw her

"Get them!!!" Captain Sally screamed out in fury

Koke's helper ju to dive overboard, only to pitch over the side with a cry of pain A cutlass was stuck fast in his back from where a pirate had thrown it overhand

Koke flipped over the railing, but was hung up fro to the water as a knife transfixed his hand to the ship's railing Crying out in the pain it caused him Koke yanked the knife free, but before he could drop to the water rough hands seized hiainst his throat by none other than an enraged Captain Sally

Her face was a caricature of a human in that moment that appeared more skeleton than it did flesh and blood

"Not so fast loverboy! I'ze gonna have your hide for this!"

Koke struggled against the hold on hile to be free he caught sight of the fleeing rowboat The layers of civility gained frorated as he yelled out at the departing boat, "I curse you cowards for this!"

It took several pirates to stifle Koke's adrenalined attempt to be free, but in the end he was pulled back on board

Captain Sally in a crazed ht'em up!"

Several seconds later a cannon reared back on its pins as it belched fla with its occupants disintegrated into fragments as the well-placed shot blew it up

Captain Sally was back in Koke's face in an instant Her spit landed on his face as she spoke out loudly, "Now I has just the likes of you to play with sugar boy! Tie him to the mast! I'll have the flesh off of him for this! Fetch me the cat-a'nines!
