Pirate’s Day Off

Captain Blackbeard had been a pirate for as long as he could remember. He had sailed the seas, plundering and pillaging, and had become one of the most feared pirates of all time. But as he grew older, he began to tire of the constant battles and the never-ending search for treasure. He longed for a day off, a day where he could just relax and do something normal.

Realizing that his cover was blown, Captain Blackbeard quickly finished his drink and made a hasty retreat back to his ship.
