Raphael had brought Goob along as his faithful companion for as long as he could remember. When Raphael joined a rag-tag group of pirates after losing his last job, he was constantly mocked for having Goob in his cabin or at his side while he toiled the day away. Raphael was as unscrupulous and fearless as any man, but it was rather odd, victims reported, to be robbed by a pirate with a scimitar in one hand and a teddy bear in the other. 

One day, another crew member had taken Goob from the cabin with the intent of throwing him overboard. Before he could do the deed, he found Raphael behind him, sword to his throat.
"Put him back," Raphael said, his voice dangerously calm. No one messed with Goob after that, although taunting the pirate for his supposed emotional crutch was fair game. In fact, it was in the middle of a bout of teasing that fate would play its cruel hand. While the crew was sharing an uproarious laugh over the teddy bear, a cannonball ripped a hole in the hull. The law had caught up with them, and they were woefully unprepared.

The captain rallied his men, but it was too late. The enemy vessel was too close and had a fine broadside approach to tear the ship to pieces. There was no honorable death for these men, for they were pirates. Cannonball after cannonball tore the ship to shreds, and in minutes, the poop deck went from being filled with merriment and laughter to being as silent as the grave. 

Only Raphael survived, still clinging to Goob. Against all odds—against all reason, Goob was floating, the only piece of the wreckage still above the surface.
