Avast!

With Marin tied up to the mast, the pirates began preparing their attack. Swords were brandished, pirates hoisted themselves onto ropes in order to swing over to the ship and several large bottles of bubble-blowing liquid were opened.
"Me beauties, ye know what t' do," Mad Lithium said.
"Wait fer our instructions," Black Felix said. The pirates had to wait to seize the right moment. They needed to be close enough to the ship for their plan to work.
"Bubble blowers at the ready," La Buse instructed. "Ready, aim, fire!" Several pirates leaned over the side of the ship and began blowing bubbles in the direction of the other boat. As predicted the entire crew were capitivated by the bubbles and ran to the one end of the ship to watch them.

"The rest o' ye, prepare t' swin'," Bean de la Bean said. "Wait... wait... now!" The other pirates swung on the ropes over to the other ship, landing quietly on its deck. Ten of the pirates made their way to where the crew were standing watching the bubbles. As soon as the crew noticed the pirates they forgot about the bubbles and prepared to fight. Yet it was too late. The pirates surrounded the men and then unleashed their deadly weapon. They began to cry. The men looked on in horror, unable to handle a group of crying women. They stood still and shocked as the remaining pirates collected all the gold and valuables. Ten minutes later all the pirates had returned safely to the good ship Hippodrome and they began storing their plundered goods.

"What do ye think, boy? Be we nay the best pirates that erelived?" Bean de la Bean said to a scared looking Marin.
"Yes... yes, you're great. Very... imaginative... Listen, I know I'm a slave and everything... but... but I was wondering if I could have some eats."
"Me beauty, ye want somethin' t' eat? Well o' course! Shiver me timbers!!" Bean de la Bean left Marin tied up to the mast and went to see to his food. She returned with a large plate of raw vegetables.
"Um... I hate vegetables," Marin said.
"How dare ye complain? Ye will eat what ye get given! Besides, don't want ye gettin' scurvy now do we?"
"Scurvy?"
"Me beauty, aye. 'Tis horrible. Eat up now!" Marin picked up a vegetable and took a bite, shuddering at the taste. Yet after he'd eaten a whole one he realised that it was actually quite nice! He ate the entire plateful in no time!

As Bean de la Bean supervised Marin, the other three captains were inspecting the loot!
"'Tis quite a stash," commented Black Felix.
"Lovely set o' treasure," La Buse added. The plunder included gold coins, jewels, Darren Hayes albums, David Tennant posters, gold bracelets, silver rings, chocolate coins, coffee beans, diamond brooches, silk clothes, toy ducks, jelly babies and a year's supply of Ribena.

Meanwhile, Marin had finished his vegetables.
"Finished?" Bean de la Bean asked. "Good. Now 'tis time fer ye t' prepare dinner fer the whole ship."
"Me? Make dinner? Don't you have a chef?"
"We did but unfertunately she be accidentally thrown overboard."
"Overboard?"
"Me beauty, aye. La Buse accidentally threw her over when she commented that she did nay like David Tennant... the heretic!"
"Accidentally?"
"Aye! Now int' the kitchen an' get cookin'!" Bean de la Bean escorted Marin to the kitchen and then shoved him inside.

In the kitchen Marin saw La Buse putting up a poster of David Tennant.
"Oh 'tis ye, the slave. Do ye like David Tennant?"
"Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Please don't throw me overboard!"
"What? Who be havin' ye been talkin' t'?" La Buse's eyes glowed red!
"No-one! Nothing! I promise! I'm just going to get on with the cooking..."
"Me beauty, aye ye had better." La Buse left the kitchen, glaring at Marin as she went.

Marin went about preparing the dinner. First he searched for a saucepan. He opened a cupboard only to find it full of plates. Then he opened another, but it was full of mugs. When he opened the third cupboard he got a huge shock. Sitting between two saucepans was what appeared to be a glittering eyeball. Tentatively, Marin picked it up. It was a diamond eyeball! Marin ran out onto the deck, clutching it in his hand. The four captains stood at the helm.
"What ye be doin' out o' the kitchen?" La Buse demanded. Then the pirates saw an object glinting in Marin's hand.
"What be that?" Mad Lithium asked. The four pirates moved towards him and then surrounded him.
"That be me eyeball," Bean de la Bean said. "Me diamond eyeball fer special occasions! Thief!"
"No, I didn't steal it," Marin protested. "I found it."
"Found it?" Bean de la Bean laughed. "Sure ye did! Ya salty sea dog!! Lock him up!" Two pirates came forward and each took one of Marin's arms and one of his legs. As they turned to take him to a cell in the boat's hull (nicknamed the dungeon), Bean de la Bean reached up and took the eyeball from his hand. As the two pirates carried Marin away, his girly screams filled the air.

End of Part Two!
