This oneshot will be all about pirates. So set sail and... ready for the cringe

The Tale of the Seven sea continued as the strongest and most devious pirate crew of the planet, Black Crow (aka Blackbeard's rip off), sailing on their famous ship, Black Amour (aka Black Pearl's replica) to Death Beard Island, the island known as the island of death.

"Hurry up, ya rats, or no dinner for y'all today!" The captain, Ash Sparrow, ordered the crew. The ship sailed fast to the island for the prize, the treasure. Lots of pirate crews had gone there, and no one returned. As the rumor, the treasure was so priceless that all of the pirates wanted to take it to prove themselves, even if they had to risk their life. Ash rushed the crew to hurry up before someone took it, although he didn't have to worry because of the danger within the island.

Ash he was commending, a lady, and the only woman of the ship, walked out. She had a honey blond hair, with her eyes had the same color of the sea. She was one of the toughest pirate, but no one admitted that just because she was a girl

"Ready for any order, captain!" She told Ash

"Ah, the female pirate, Serena Swann. I thought you would be like that rich and royal father of yours" Ash said

"I'm not going to be like him, captain. I want to be a pirate, to travel around the sea, even if I was called as a criminal, I still wanted to enjoy the sounds of sea waves" Serena said

"Geez, so deep..." - Ash said - "But today adventure, you'll be on the ship"

"But why, captain?"

"Serena, it would be too dangerous. I don't want anything terrible happen to you" Ash said. One fact that the whole crew even Serena didn't know was Ash had a crush on her, when he saw her strength and flexibility that not all the pirates could have

"You're underestimating me? That's not Ash Sparrow I know" Serena said and Ash had to speak out in defeat

"Fine! You're coming with us! But if anything bad happens to you, blame yourself!" Ash said and turned his head to the direction. They soon arrived at Death Beard Island and ready to take the treasure

They passed every challenges, from the lava pool to the poisonous scorpions field. They soon had to face the final challenge: The crocodiles. The bridge to the gate was just enough for the crocodiles to jump up and bite any unlucky pirate or adventurer. Bite marks could be seen from any corner of the bridge.

"So, who want to go first, or you losers just a bunch of cowards?" Ash asked and the crew started passing the bridge. The crocodiles leaned up to smell the blood from them. They were awaiting for their feast, full of human fleshes. Just one pirate fell, his or her life would be over

Serena went last. She started passing the bridge, but Ash could hear a weird sound. It sounded like the bridge was about to fall down

"Serena, be careful!" Ash shouted but she didn't hear his warn. She kept passing until one side of the bridge tilted to the left. She started to slip and fall down

"SERENA!" Ash jumped off the edge and caught Serena when she was falling down. She wasn't unconscious, but she started to shiver from fear. Luckily, he landed on his feet, but that was the most positive thing about the situation. More and more crocodiles surrounded them

"Captain, are we gonna be... their feast?" She asked in a shaky voice. Ash looked around and he saw a vine hanging on the ceiling

"Look, we're gonna get out of here, but you have to trust me" Ash said and she nodded. Then he carried her on his shoulder and jumped up the rocky wall. He hung on it, climbing while Serena still on his shoulder. She looked down and saw the crocodiles jumped up to bite her, and that made her scream in fear

"Shh... It's okay... I'll get both of us all of here... I promise..." Ash smiled at her and she trusted him again. He climbed on each of the edges of the wall, and soon he was able to grab the vine. Then he started swinging and aim at the rocky edge that had the gate

"Serena, we are going to swing!" Ash said

"No! That's crazy! I'd rather die down here!" She shook her haid, but Ash held it

"Look, do you trust me or not?" Ash asked. She seemed hesitated a bit, but she nodded. He started to swing back and forth, then with all his strength, he swung his body and Serena's to the edge. They landed hard on the other side, and luckily, the gate was there. Both of them lied on the ground in a minute, then they looked at each other and laughed

"Wow, that was... awesome! We should do it again!" Ash shouted

"Oh please no, As- I mean captain" She corrected herself, but Ash sat up and put his hand on her shoulder

"Just call me Ash" He said and she let out the smile. Then they started to do the unthinkable. They slowly leaned in with their eyes closed. They were inches away from each other until...

"Captain, Miss Swann, you two are okay! Let's get in" One of the crew shouted and walked in the gate. Ash stood up and offered his hand to Serena

"Shall we?" He asked and she grabbed it, standing up. They walked in the gate holding hand. Inside the gate was a giant chest. It was the treasure they'd been looking for, the priceless treasure, the dream of every pirates

"Okay, on three! One! Two! Three!" Ash ordered and the whole crew opened the chest. It had... nothing, except a piece of paper inside it. Ash picked it up and read it for the crew

"Dear mighty pirates. You have reached the treasure, the one you've been looking for. Now, I guess you're confused. Why there aren't any treasure you ask? Well, there is a treasure all of you have achieved on the way. That treasure is priceless, the most important treasure and most expensive one that hardly any pirate can have it."

"What did it say next?" Serena asked. Ash then continued reading

"That treasure... is the power of friendship and teamwork. Without those two, all of you must've been roasted in the lava pool, or rotten to dead because of the scorpions' poison. Okay, bye.

There was an awkward silence in the room. No one could believe what they heard

"So basically we traveled half way of the Earth, getting through dangerous and gruesome challenges and traps, just for a piece of paper?" One of the crew asked

"I just hope paper has high price in this century" Another one spoke out, then the pirates started talking about what to do with the "treasure", while Ash and Serena just looked at each other and smiled

"But hey, at least we still got something else beside friendship and teamwork, right?"
