CHAPTER65

(Richie tries to form an alliance with Ryujin.)

RICHIE

You guys need me to reach Coco island.

SKYE

Why would we need your help? You are our enemy.

RICHIE

Well, that’s true. But right now, our goals align with each other. You guys want to rescue your navigator and I need to get my gift back.

RYUJIN

What happened to it?

RICHIE

King Shark was able to steal it from me. He noticed that I was going to attack him and he was able to defeat me.

MARCH

Sea men sure are tough.

RICHIE

They sure are.

RYUJIN

But they all have a weakness.

RICHIE

What weakness?

RYUJIN

Beating them to a pulp.

RICHIE

That’s not their weakness!

RYUJIN

We’ll know once we reach there. So, let’s form this alliance.

(They shake hands.)

SKYE

Dare betray him, I’ll slash you to pieces!

JULIET

Oh, boy. This is going to be my 1st adventure as a pirate. I’m getting excited.

(Later on, the Santa Maria is ready to set sail. Juliet says goodbye to the chefs.)
