The Journal of Pirate Guy

[Pirate Guy]

Chapter 1; Intro

The story opens up in a dark, dusty jail cell on Port Royal.


“Jail? Why am I in Jail? No, not again. They’ve already taken most of me rum, now how can I pay them back to get out? Wait, who is that in other cell.” The boys’ vision is still blurred a little from the Navy beating him. While he starts to stand up, he hears rustling coming from across the room.


“Ahoy mate! Pull yourself together.” As his vision returns to normal, there the boy sees the outline of a man, dressed sharply for a Pirate. He introduces himself as Jack Sparrow. The boy gets up and escapes with Sparrow; Jack seems to have gotten himself in a lot trouble too. Well, that is a pirate’s life, pillaging, plundering, and looting.


He gives the boy some pointers and tells him to go exploring now. He asks the boy how he got in trouble. The boy told him this wasn’t the first time; he had been arrested several times for stealing, minor offences. “What is your name boy,” asked Jack Sparrow. “Matthew or Matt is what people call me”. “Well Matt, you look like you could use some rum. Let us head to Tortuga, we can take my ship, and you will be back in time for supper.”


While Matt and Jack slowly departed for Tortuga, a Navy spy, General James Henry spots them off the coast, near Fort Charles. He sends a navy light sloop to stop them, himself aboard. Jack Sparrow spots him and tells Matt he has a plan to get away. The pair stops, and lets Patton board. As he comes aboard, he is immediately disgusted by the stench of Sparrow. “So, Sparrow, we meet again. This time you will not escape.”


“That’s what you think General. Quick Matt, take this rope.” They swing across and land on the light sloop that the James sailed with to catch them. Matt turns around and sees an explosion aboard Sparrow’s ship. The General was still aboard. “Mr. Sparrow, you’re ship is destroyed.” Jack grins, “No my friend, that was only a rental. My real one is at Tortuga.” They head into Tortuga, stopping to go inside the popular bar known as The Faithful Bride Tavern. After having a bottle of rum or two, they head outside…..


As Matt steps back onto the familiar shores of Port Royal, his family runs out. His mom, dad, his two brothers, and his sister walk out to greet him. After being scolded by his parents for getting into more trouble, he groans, and heads up to his room. He looks out the window and sees Jack’s actual ship heading out. Matt thought to himself the pros and cons of a pirate’s life. Not that he would want to be one or anything…. He quietly talked to himself, “free food, free rum, looting treasures, gold and jewels. Now that would be sweet!”


Matt woke up in the wee hours of the day. He starts to walk down the winding staircase. He stops mid-way because he hears the familiar voices of his parents, only their voices are more infuriated this time. He listens intently. “Bill, I am getting sick of all these bills, we are months behind on our payments, we both have jobs, and yet that is still not enough money!”


“I know, I know, we both try. Now settle, down, you’ll wake up the kids. We don’t need them asking questions, everything will be fine.” Matt quickly runs back up to his room. Wow, he thinks, our family is in debt. This is going to get bad. The other kids start to rustle and eventually everyone wakes up, goes downstairs and has breakfast. The parents are as quiet as ever, Matt was the only one who knew of their families increasing problems.


After breakfast, Matt took a stroll around Port Royal. He was on the far west parts, near the shipwright. He noticed that jungle that no one went into. There was treasure in there, and treasure meant pirates. He decided to sneak a peek. He reached to the side of his sash, and drew out his single shot pistol, just in case. The only thing he has shot with that pistol was old cans, for fun, as target practice. He brushed away the green palms, and headed in.



And that concludes chapter 1 mates! Stay tuned, you will see how I convert to a pirate, how I get my name, and much more.

Chapter 2; The Ways of a Pirate


Here is Chapter 2 mates! Hope you like it.


As Matt headed in, he was immediately engulfed by the whispers of the dead, and the cold chills. He couldn’t see very far due to the many trees and that eerie fog that has started to appear around Port Royal. He continued on, despite his mind telling him to stop and turn back, to turn back to his warm, cozy home. He continued on, brushing away the trees. He thought, “My mom is going to kill me, my shoes are all muddy.” He took his next step and was bombarded with arrows flying around him, he ducked and avoided them. A band of 6 or so pirates came up to him and one drew a sword to young Matt’s head.


“Who dares enter the jungle?” said one pirate. The others came up closer to Matt. One by one they glanced at Matt with disapproving looks, and Matt saw the drunken faces of many disgusting looking pirates.


“My name is Matthew,” he said, voice shaking.


“Why are you in our jungle?” said the biggest pirate of them all, and the most disgusting of them all. They all wore tattered clothes, common for the Caribbean pirates.
“It’s a long story, but basically my family needs money, we are facing debts and the fast approaching threat of having to move to a shack on Cuba… How awful would that be?”


“So, you came into the jungle in search of the fabled treasure then eh?” said their apparent leader, he was designated by the fine Black Pirate Bandana. “Well, I would stay out.” said another pirate.


“Well, if he needs treasure so bad, then he can join the crew of the Black Pearl, finest looting pirates in all the 7 seas…” said a man named Josh Gibbs. “A pleasure to meet you, first mate Josh Gibbs at your service.”


For a second, just one second, Matt considered his offer to join the Pearl, and wasn’t Jack captain of that ship? Well, Matt politely declined, and was happy enough to exit the jungle alive, with all his body parts attached to him. He went back to his house and his parents asked where he was, and he said he went into the jungle.
“Don’t ever go back into that jungle Matt!” his mom said. “That was where your lost older brother ran into 4 years ago, and he never came back.”


“Don’t worry mom, it was fine, I even met up with some pirates” Matt said with a half-smile. This enraged his parents and, once again he was sent to his room. He thought and thought some more, and he went downstairs and talked to his parents. “There is treasure in the jungle! If we find it, we will be rich! And we won’t be in debt!” His dad quickly said, “Son, we don’t need that treasure. We will work off our debt by ourselves. It has been a long day. I must get back to work.”


Matt awoke the next day and his parents were gone. A note was left on the door. It read;
“To Whom It May Concern.”


The owner of this residence has failed to pay his/her debts and has been taken away to the jail cells in a far off island. This house is now property of The Royal Navy. All kids will be taken to the relatives of the owners. All items will be sold at the Royal Market unless payment can be made before the New Year on 1 January. Please do not be alarmed, everything will be fined and the owners will be released soon. Good day.


~With best regards, The Royal Navy.



“Where are my siblings? It seems they have already been taken away.” Matt thought. He turned and loo ked outside and saw the Navy approaching. He gathered whatever items he had, and quickly ran off through an open window in the far corner of the house. “That darn Navy, first they kill some of my family, and now they have my parents. I hate them.”


He ran over to his Uncles house and saw his siblings crying in the corner. After leaving a note explaining his reasoning, Matt quickly got an idea and headed back to that dreaded jungle. He searched and searched and searched and the pirates weren’t there. He headed to the main docks and saw them about to shove off. He ran up to them and said he wanted to join them. They said they would let him join, but they must go to Tortuga, to get Jack.
After getting Jack, he accepted his offer and told him he needed to change his name. Matt thought about and wanted something uncreative, and noticeable, easy to remember. He thought about it some more. “I would like to go by Pirate Guy!”


“Well,” grinned Jack Sparrow, “not the most creative name, but it will do. Mates, lets shove off, we have much work to do. “So, Pirate Guy, why did you decide to join us?”
“Well, my parents were taken away by the Navy. I want to find treasure, to repay our debt.” Pirate Guy said


“Pirate Guy, are there any other reasons?” asked Jack. “Well, the navy killed my uncle, Jack Stromfellow (not a real player) he was a great person.”


“Pirate Guy, I must tell ye something,” said Sparrow. The two leaned in closer. “Your uncle, Jack, was a very notorious pirate, and was Captain of the ship, The Tide Lion, well; it seems you have natural-born piracy running through your veins, another fine reason to join. Well, if it be treasure ye be after, treasure ye shall get!


Pirate Guy was starting to like the idea of a pirate aboard the Pearl, especially knowing he was a natural born pirate. One more surprised awaited him. He happened to be scrubbing the decks when a familiar face approached. “Hello, little brother,” said the pirate. “Are you really my brother?” Guy stammered. “Yes, yes. I too went into the jungle and joined the ranks of this here ship, since I was a natural born pirate as well. But I go by a new name now, just call me Sharktooth, or Sharky, if ye prefer. Well, nice to have ya aboard Pirate Guy!” Sharktooth chuckled softly as he whistled away the tune of “Married to the Sea.”



That concludes Chapter 2 guys! Tell me what ya be thinking about it!

[Captain Sharktooth]

Coming along nicely

[Tiberius Fireskull]

I like it Pirate Guy. Like Sharky said, coming along nicely... I'll be probably doing some reading without much commentary for a while, so don't think I'm not reading!

[Pirate Guy]

Thanks for the positive feedback. I'm working on the next chapter.

[Pirate Guy]

Hey guys sorry I havent been posting my story been busy trying to work on it when I can.

[Pirate Guy]

“Prepare yourselves mates! We are heading into rough waters now,” cried their Captain, Jack Sparrow.


“Sir! There be a Colossus off the coast of Tormenta,” said the lookout boy. The crew turned their attention to the port side of the ship, and the sparkling hull of the mighty galleon was shining.


“Wait, what is Tormenta?” Pirate Guy asked his brother. Who was in awe at the moment, picturing the thought of loot.


“Isla Tormenta may be the most feared island in the Caribbean. It contains the undead army of Davy Jones.” Answered his brother. The crew crippled the mighty war galleon easily, threw the crew overboard, and stole some crates and chests. The crew tore open the haul, mostly gold, and some chickens. “We can sell these for a fine profit to that bloke standing outside of the Tavern on Tortuga,” one man said.


“Well where are we off to next,” said the always eager Sharktooth.


“I will tell you all after I consult with our newest crew member here.” After Jack Sparrow said this, he called Pirate Guy into his Quarters.


“Voodoo?”


“Yes, voodoo Pirate Guy, one of the most feared and yet practiced rituals in our day. And I want you to learn it. Most of the crew learned the basics of it, and since you are the nephew of a legendary pirate, you and your brother must consult Tia Dalma and ask to learn the basic ways. If you might run into trouble, tell her Jack Sparrow sent you two.” After these last words, Sparrow sent Guy out to deliver the new to Sharktooth.


“Attention crew. Before we embark to Tortuga, we must stop first at Cuba to drop off some of our crew.” Grumbles came from many of the crew. “Pirates, there is also a Tavern there, so we can drink some rum!” At these words, the worn expression of the crew seemed at least a little more delighted.


Just before sunset, the crew neared Cuba. “We better make it before sundown, or else we may get lost in the fog.”
The crew landed and they split ways with the brothers for now, until the crew comes back, in two days. With the last glimpse of daylight, the brothers headed into the mist. This part of Cuba was just past a large swamp, inhabited by deadly alligators, luckily, they were sleeping. When they went in, they found a shack, and many bridges, constructed out of wood. A single light was visible, even though all the mist was present, and they followed it. The boys stopped outside of the shack, and they heard a voice. “Come in,” the voice said. “So Jack Sparrow sent ya did he now? “said a quiet voice.


“Yes he did, but how did you know,” said Sharktooth.


“Dear boy, Tia knows all and sees all. That is the power of voodoo. So know, I guess I will have to start teaching you boys then.”


“Thank you, Tia.” Guy said.


“Ok, first you must let your mind wander, searching for these Dark Arts. You must sit outside all night, and do nothing but concentrate.” Tia Dalma left them to figure out the rest, she blew out the candle sitting by the window, and let the chilly air come to them. The boys managed to go the night, clearing their minds, despite the everlasting cold. When they woke up, they both noticed the, selves glowing, and found more energy. Pirate Guy even went invisible for a second!


“Good, you know the basics. Now, we must learn to control it. Luckily, I have my pet gators to practice on, and I can bring them back from the dead any time. Here now, take these.” Tia Dalma handed the boys each a voodoo doll, and a voodoo staff. “You won’t be needing the staff quite yet, but take the doll, you must learn the basic moves.”
The boys and Tia Dalma headed out of the Pantano River, and back out into the main swamp. “Now, you must be one with the doll, feel its energy and use it on your foes, you must concentrate on making the doll be attuned to your foe, making it able to inflict damage to the foe. You must practice now.”
Pirate Guy stepped up and attuned it to the alligator. He tried to do what Tia said, but all he could muster up was a weak little poke. He started to be attacked by the gator, and Tia killed it. “Good my boy, but you must concentrate harder. Here drink this tonic”


Pirate Guy drank it and felt reenergized. Sharktooth went up and attuned it. He suddenly made the doll glow and a nasty green skull face came up on the gator. Then, a huge swarm of locusts came and killed the gator. Sharktooth walked back towards Tia and Guy, a huge grin glowing on his face.

“Great job Sharktooth!” Both Tia and Guy said that at the same time.


“Thank you, thank you! It seemed to come naturally after a bit…”


“Yes, yes, since you are nephew of a great one, you will have more extreme powers than any that have come before. Come, come, I have some more to teach you…”
That concludes Chapter 3! Comments? Critique? Do tell!

[SEAKING23]

Chapter 4: Voodoo




“So, Shark, what do you think of the voodoo lessons?” Guy and Shark were calmly sitting in the poorly constructed shack behind Tia Dalma’s house. Shark was lying down on the wood floor across the room. Pirate Guy pushed a loose piece of wood out of the way.


“You know what? This is why I didn’t want to move to Cuba. This place sucks! The wood is all loose and it is very uncomfortable.”


“Hey it is better than nothing right? Besides, we get free voodoo lessons. It will make us very powerful.”


“Yeah, but what if we overuse our powers, or use if for the wrong reasons, or-” Sharktooth cut him off.


“Don’t worry little brother. We can use our skills to help free our parents, and become great pirates. Now, get to sleep, the Black Pearl comes back in a few days.”


A couple days later, just before the sun rose, Tia took the pair out to do some extra practicing before her friend and his crew arrived. “Now, you have almost mastered the art of the Voodoo Doll, now you must learn to use a Staff! These staffs require greater amounts of your voodoo energy, but can do far more damage, and to groups of people. That is why it is a valuable skill.”


Pirate Guy and his brother, quickly found themselves immersed by the presence of the voodoo and could feel the increased amount of energy within them because of the new found powers of the Voodoo Staff. They each picked up a new one, constructed carefully with pieces of many enemies. Pirate Guy barely took aim before the Staff uncontrollably launched a huge bolt of fire. He dropped the staff and stepped back before glancing at Tia and his brother, who was softly chuckling.


Tia stepped forward, “just like the doll, the staff will take time to get used to, here now, try again.”


After failing once, Pirate did not want to fail again. He calmly picked up his staff, and chucked a blast of acid poison, or something of that sort, at a fly trap. The fly trap was immediately engulfed by it and shriveled to the ground, only to be brought back up by Jolly’s curse a minute later. He seemed rather exhausted, the blast of voodoo drained more of his energy then he is used to, since he was accustomed to using the voodoo doll. Noticing that Pirate Guy was breathing heavily and seemed very tired, she rushed into her shack and came out the next minute, carrying a potion.


“I have been saving this for quite some time, drink it, and it will make you have more voodoo energy, so you won’t get as tired when you use the staff.”
The brothers stepped up next to each other, both taking their crude staffs up. They slowly raised them, and, almost in unison, blasted away at a gator. They practiced harder and harder until sundown, by then, Tia could teach them no more, and she left to ponder about what might lie ahead. They both thanked Tia for the potion and went to bed. The next morning, the boys woke up to hear the sound of the Black Pearl approaching as she neared port, the boys excitedly ran over to greet the crew.


On board the ship, Jack Sparrow called them over and discussed with them. “So Guy and Shark, how was your voodoo lessons?”


“We learned a lot, and we are now ready to take down some Navy guys!” Pirate Guy said excitedly.


“Good, good, because after we raid some EITC and Navy Vessels, we will dock at Padres Del Fuego.”


After their Captain announced this to them, he went outside and told this to his crew. He left them to go below the decks and prepare themselves for the trip ahead.


A couple weeks later, Pirate Guy was accustomed to everything he needed to know about pirating. He was glad he had Sharktooth there to help him along, and it made him happy to see his brother. He came out in the middle of the night to just gaze at the sky. It was much more calm and peaceful out here than from Port Royal. Shark came out with him and they talked quietly about stuff, nothing too important. They went back into their cabin around 3-4 A.M. They were very tired.


They came out a short while later… Not the best dressed. For a pirate that is. They took to a cannon, and loading up with a new ammo Jack liked to call “Firebrand,” which was freshly looted from a EITC Transport Ship. Just as they were about to see the outline of Padres Del Fuego, they saw a fast approaching EITC Juggernaut on the port side. The whole crew went to their spots on the cannons. They loaded up on their Firebrand.


“Fire!” As soon as Sparrow announced this, the whole yelled their battle cry and unleashed a fury of Firebrands. After around avoiding a broadside, they crippled the sails and prepared to board it. As they slowly brought the massive ship in, they were anxious as to what might happen next.
They swung across and landed on the vessels.


Met by EITC Grunts, they unsheathed their swords. Pirate Guy realized he had only a rusty cutlass and same with his brother. They stood back to back trying to dodge the thrusts coming from the Grunts. The EITC men were trained, but not that well, and Pirate Guy and Sharktooth found themselves 2 on 1 against one. They both charged and the Grunt was helpless. Pirate Guy turned to his left and saw that the EITC was quickly losing. Most of the men had jumped overboard and some of the crew of the Black Pearl was on to plundering. After all the remaining men surrendered, they grabbed the loot haul and headed back to their ship.
They dumped the chests into the center and made way for the Captain. After the loot had been divided up, they discovered a weapon. It wasn’t just any weapon; it was a Famed Weapon, capable for amazing powers.



“Alright mates, since Sharktooth has been with us for a while, he deserves this, since he only has a Rusty Cutlass!”
Sharktooth took the weapon, commonly known as Treachery’s End. He grasped it tightly and felt the ominous presence it gave away. It was a cursed blade after all…


They once again continued onto Padres Del Fuego, not stopping for anymore loot. When they could now see it fully in view, they could see the never ending lava pouring out, and they were watching it in awe. They were excited to land. They could get some decent food, rum, a nice place to stay, and rum.



When they neared port, they shoved off into the dinghies, paddling as fast as possible. They were all like Davy Jones. It hadn’t felt like any of them had touched land for 10 years. They got off and Jack told them to meet him in the Tavern at noon the next day. Shark and Guy went to go find a place to stay. They also wanted to get some new clothes. Shark and Guy immediately headed left just past the docks, and came to an old shack. They went inside and found a man, asleep in his chair. They gently gave him a nudge and he sprung out of his seat.


“No, Navy men! Please, oh please don’t arrest me!”


“Relax sir, we just want a place to stay, we will pay you to rent this place to us.”


“Ok fine then.”


After arranging their deal, the two pirates went off to the back of the shack and went to bed. About midnight Shark woke up Guy and they decided to go on a walk. They went to the tailor shop, which oddly enough, was open. They went in and Shark picked out a nice hat, a Magenta shirt along with the Whaling Jacket. Black pants that looked like Barbossa’s, and boots also. Pirate Guy picked out a green long sleeve shirt, plus some green/black boots, and a black vest (those are our current outfits, just to let ya know.)


They quickly went back to the shack, glancing for a second at the mighty Black Pearl docked there. They went back inside the shack, not knowing that would be the last time they would see the Black Pearl ever again……





Well, that concludes Chapter 4 Mates! I hope you all like it. Comments or anything… Do tell….
