Chapter 6: Break Into The Fort

As Jack Firesteel's voodoo powers teleported the crew to a large town, he was already tired after using so much of his voodoo power.

Jack thought about what would happen to Jolly's forces, since the shadowy creatures were relentless. But, Del explained to Jack that Jolly has powerful voodoo powers, so
he's probably not defeated.

Gastro examined the crew's surroundings and concluded, "Well, mates, looks like we're in Port Royal, home of EITC trade and Fort Charles. Anyone care to buy me some rum?"

Del refused Gastro's offer and advised everyone to also do so. Gastro sighed in disappointment.

A Navy officer walked up to the crew and said, "Oi! Are ye pirates?" He pointed his bayonet at them in a ready to strike stance.

Everyone looked at each other and in a second, the Navy officer was being carried to the sea. He said, "Wait! What are you doing?! Aah!" The crew threw him into the sea, as he drowned to the bottom.

Gastro looked at his voodoo controlled compass, and it pointed to Fort Charles.

William said, "Fort Charles? What does it want us to do there? Take over the fort?"

Gastro shook his head saying, 'No.' He pointed out that it pointed to the gallows. "It probably wants us to save someone from being hung. Possibly a pirate or an important person."

Jack Firesteel said, "I've got rum! Who wants some?" The crew looked at Jack Firesteel, and he replied to their faces, "What?" Gastro turned back to the crew, "I think I have an idea..."

The crew marched into the fort carrying 12 rum packs, and they were dressed as EITC.

Mark said, "You sure this will work?" Gastro replied back, "You'd be surprised how easily the Navy can be bribed."

The crew marched into the gallows, passing many unsuspecting Navy guards.

They saw a man being hung in the gallows, being tortured in painful ways.

Gastro said, "Okay, guys.. ready?" Everyone replied, "Aye!"

Gastro walked in and said, "Excuse me, sir, we have a rum shipment for the fort we'd like to donate to you." The Navy officer replied, "Great! Just put it right -"
Gastro interrupted, "Under one condition. You release this man from the gallows."

The Navy officer stared suspiciously at Gastro, and changed his expression back to normal. "That depends... how many packs do you have?" Gastro replied, "Twelve."
That was enough to convince the officer to release the man. They walked out of the fort with the man and took off their EITC disguises.

The man thanked the crew, "Thank ye, mates! I am in yer debt. So, you're actually pirates? And you managed to sneak into Fort Charles? Amazing! Anyone who has attempted that never returned. Anyway, the name is Bart Gunshot. If you ever need me, just say the word."

Del replied with a request, "Actually, we do need you." Del explained everything to Bart. Everything about Jolly, the black coated man, and the Bladebearers. Bart accepted, "That sounds like an interesting adventure, mate! Count me in!"

Well, there ye have it, mates. Don't be surprised if I add more characters. Honestly, the black coated man and Jolly will be really hard to defeat if I don't add them. So, anyone who'd like to volunteer to be in the story, just ask! Sorry if I didn't add much detail like Del suggested, but I just couldn't think of much. But, I'll try my best next time.
