Project 9A: Let's Board a Pirate Ship

Hard to starboard-board!

Steady as she goes!

That's it! You're doing great! Damn, these things are great with their hands AND they can take orders!

They're a lot more useful than the usual idiots I have for crew! Ahahaha!

Tell me about it. I can count on one hand the number of crewmen I've had who were as smart as these Con.

'Course, if a guy turned out to be really useless, I'd just shoot him and feed him to the sharks before grabbing a replacement at the next port. That's the pirate way.

I don't deny that, but I wasn't as shortsighted with my crew as you were.

By the way, what did you say this flagship's name was? I need to make a note for the records of this test voyage.

Isn't it obvious?

This here's a chimera ship that only came about 'cause of Master.

He's the one who suggested that, since we're starting from scratch anyway...

...we should compromise and take the best parts of all three ships...

...instead of settling our differences with threats, drinking contests, or just a few rounds of Russian roulette.

If this were about our own ships, captains like us'd be too proud to compromise.

But since this ship's kind of everyone's, there'll be no problem.

So in the spirit of compromise, we decided to combine our ships' names, too! You're looking at the Queen Anne's Golden Royal!

Hey, don't try to make yourself look more important by shoving your ship's name out front!

It's supposed to be the Golden Royal Revenge.

I think you mean the Royal Anne Hind Mekakure Fortune.

You're slipping your own ship's full name in there!? Now THAT'S a proper pirate move! Color me impressed!

Ugh. You have to put your creepy fetish in the ship's name now? You're worse than Blackbeard.

Hang on. Now that I think of it, why is there hardly any contribution from me in yours? I've barely got a letter in each.

Um...

？！

G-good idea, Senpai! Got it!
