THE GRAND STORY OF THE SEEMINGLY IMPOSSIBLE ADVENTURES OF BARON BRITPOP BLASTFURNACE
Back On The Jellyfish
Baron Britpop Blastfurnace • Part 26
Back On The Jellyfish
Once back onboard The Jellyfish and out of sight of the merchant ship, Captain Peanut Butter said to me, “You will accompany me to my cabin.”
I did as he said.
“Do you realize how foolish you were?” The Captain said sternly.
I looked at the Captain but said nothing.
“You told them your name. And that you are a Baron.”
Then it sunk in.
“Is a pretty face worth hanging for? If you are fortunate, they will forget your foolish outburst. You may be a Baron. But as long as you remain on this ship, you are also a pirate. Do not forget that. And hold your tongue in the future.”
“I am truly sorry. I will remember.”
“Then, we are done. Let’s go examine our spoils.”
We left the cabin, and the rest of the crew was waiting on deck with the cargo. As we opened the crates, I noticed that much of the cargo the Captain had taken was rum, clothing, tools, and other practical things. Nothing exceedingly valuable.
