Part 16

Today we intentionally get caught by pirates. Maybe we can be best pirate friends and sail the seas for all eternity?


Shut up and drive the boat, geezer!


Okay so we set out to sea for. . . I don't know, really.

We caught a good wave. . . are there really pirates?

While Marco strings completely unrelated things together into incoherent sentences, a pirate ship approaches.


Haha the ship showed emotion, for some reason I find that hilarious

Look Marco, a ship!

It's coming towards us at full speed!



sucker bro!

Strip 'em down!

Are you the pirates who attack ships around here?

Huh? What are pirates supposed to beside ships? Are you stupid?

Why does everyone have to call me stupid?! Damnit. . . sniff. . .

What's with him?


This is the best game ever

Just who ARE these guys, bro? Let's just beat 'em up.

Yeah, these idiots couldn't possibly put up a fight.


they're fucked now

Silly. You don't want to pick a fight with me.

SMACK! POW! BIFF! ZOCK!

Let's go guys.

Yeah, Aima! Amazing! You go girl!

The pirates base must be in that ship there. Think of all the treasure. . . hehehe.

Be on guard.

We'll be fine old man, let's go!


Hooray pirate ship raiding time!


If you go back into your own cabin, you can heal for free, also there's a Life Seed hidden in one of the barrels or something.


Inside their ship is a treasure chest with a revive, and hidden in one of those boxes is a Boltboomer. Let's go down!


Not surprisingly, the ship dungeon has a ship motif. Man, it must suck sailing in a ship whose interior changes all the time. . . also why is there grass growing in the ship, come on people.


I think they made this mistake in another game, too. Ents, people, it's not so hard.


More annoying ghosts.


The other guys are sea snakes. They're probably weak to thunder, I didn't pay attention, I just hacked and slashed them all.


and of course you can fight pirates.


Charge is good, raises your own ATP. Randolph actually comes with it, but Marco and Aima can learn it too, and it's great for them.


Ice moves are different than other IP attacks of a similar nature. They actually hit all enemies for a normal power, ice elemental attack. However it's generally shit and I haven't moved my people around enough to give the proper SF to learn it for anyone, so who cares.


A great move, a double power attack that is effective on enemies with higher DEF. Word yo.


Other people can learn DoubleKick too, it's a good move.


Okay so we end up in the cabin at the bottom of like 8 random floors, fuck how do they do that shit?! The chests have a Wisdom Seed and a Chill Ring, which lets you cast blizzard or something and raises a few stats. Actually while Seena can learn flame and flash magic, Melphis can only learn ice magic, so I gave it to her. Ice magic hits all so it's okay I guess, but man Melphis is such a better healer than anything.

oh yeah there was a power seed in one of the boxes or shelfs or something.


WOW that's a lot of fucking weapons. Actually if you search this room you can find a Dragon Fang and a PoisonNeedle but it's a secret.

What's with this pile of weapons?

Are you trying to start a war?

These weapons. . . It cannot be. . . !

Hey aren't you Randolph, captain of the royal guard?

Were these weapons not deployed to the kingdom recently?

Oh you noticed. These are owned by the Minister of Alstadt now.

So it's true!

What's true?

Stay out of this!

There is a law about adding more military force, so they were illegally buying weapons from pirates!

Hey, don't misunderstand, it wasn't our idea. We were told by the kingdom to get these.

It must have been Deraf. I can't believe he would have pirates smuggle weapons.

Well, the royal navy leaves us alone because of it. But now that you know, you must be silenced!


Those are stronger than usual pirates with him. Worst of all, they attack once per turn and then immediately run away, and then the pirate head summons more, so killing them is basically useless. Luckily they're pretty weak. The Pirate Head himself does some weird attacks like Rim Fire which sounds dirty. Overall mostly just kind of annoying, not super difficult.


They give you excessive amounts of gold in this game because you have a million characters.



come after you. Minister Deraf is nuts, he'll just erase you all. Ha ha ha ha! Dies.

The situation seems to be getting worse and worse.

We need to take back the kingdom quickly.

What should we do about these weapons?

Discard them, of course.

Okay, well, let's go back to port.

Okay we'll just return to our ship and



What the hell?

Look Marco! A ship coming towards us at a furious speed!


Deckard. . . sounds familiar. . .

will not forgive you! Ha ha ha!

Hey, don't you think that guy's a bit confused?

Wait wait! We're not pirates!

Ha ha ha ha! Anyone on a pirate ship must be a pirate!

He has a good point.

You idiot don't be convinced!

He seems similar to Marco.

So then, there's no point trying to be logical with him. . .

Aaah! He's going to hit us!


As I'm sure you guessed, he just rammed his ship straight through mine. I guess the giant blade on the front of his ship isn't just for decoration.

If you are pirates, then you should be honored to perish in the sea! Farewell! Ha ha ha!


HOLY SHIT I want that guy in my party right now

Amazing.

This isn't the time to be impressed! We have to get back to our ship! This one is sinking!

Oh, right.



Yeah, I'm fine. What about the rest of you?

We're fine.

No, we're not fine! What was up with that guy?!

I-I do not know. . .

I have heard a rumor that there is one pirate who attacks pirate ships. . .


????

I wonder if that's him?

Well, either way, the ship's gone. Now we don't have to dispose of those weapons.

Yes, this may have been a good thing.

Yeah, but I wonder if there could have been another way to go about this. . .

Well everyone is okay, and the weapons are gone, so what's the problem? Let's return to port.

I'm jealous of your never ending optimism. . .



But it's not over yet. . .

Huh? What do you mean, Melphis?

The weapons on that ship were nothing great.

You think there could be more?

It could be possible.

Okay, let's go find their base and wreck their shit up!

Yeah, we should go to their base.

Alright! So where is it?

I don't know.

I guess we'll have to ask the townspeople.

Okay so next time we'll look for the Pirates' Base and possibly fight annoying as fuck bosses and do really long pointless dungeons and ugh At least we're almost at Copley Forest!
