Pirate Seas (Thymewarped)

Pirate Seas is the 3rd world in Plants vs. Zombies: Thymewarped, unlocked after beating Day 12 of Ancient Egypt. The world takes place across two pirate ships fighting in the middle of the ocean, as battles between pirate crews were quite common in this era.
In this world, the player's lawn is split up into three sections. The first section, the first five columns of the lawn, functions as it normally would. The section towards the entry point for zombies is quite different. Planks connecting the zombies' ship to the player's allow them to passage normally onto your lawn. While some rows do not have any planks, they can still be attacked by ambush zombies landing halfway across their lawn.
The sections with the planks will function as normal, with the exception that a few plants cannot be planted on planks (such as underground plants, like Potato Mine). The third and final part is the sea tiles, which no plants except flying plants (like Rotobaga) can be planted there and zombies instantly die if they land in the water. This is also the main part of the lawn where Swashbuckler Zombies start to swing forward towards the non-water parts of the lawn.
"Raiding Party" is the surprise attack of Pirate Seas. When the surprise attack hits, multiple Swashbuckler Zombies will swing onto the lawn from the right, not all of them will land successfully though. Umbrella Leaf can bounce these landing Swashbucklers away, and Blover can blow them away before they land.
During the second half of the world, a large mast can collapse onto the lawn, and zombies will be able to slide down to reach the middle of the first lane. Plants cannot target these traveling zombies while the zombies cannot use abilities until they've reached the dry land. Only some zombies can travel down the mast.
After beating Day 12 of Pirate Seas, players will be able to travel to the Wild West to keep thwarting Dr. Zomboss there or finish off the zombie threat in this world first.
==Game description==
The year is 1679, the golden age of zombie piracy! Keep your booty close, and your plants closer, as the zombies take to the sea to plunder your brains!
==Order of events==
Upon beating Day 12 of Ancient Egypt, players have the ability to travel to the Pirate Seas and can continue their journey here or back in Egypt. Crazy Dave asks Penny why Dr. Zomboss is here and Penny informs Dave that perhaps he likes the feeling of the ocean breeze.
At the start of Day 3, Penny tells the player that not all plants that can attack should be used for offensive purposes. Crazy Dave asks what the point of the plant is then, and Penny explains that some attacking plants are best used for support.
At the start of Day 5, Crazy Dave tells the player how much he loves the smell of Coconut Cannons in the morning and that it smells like... Coconuts. Then the player is given a tutorial on how to use Coconut Cannon.
At the start of Day 10, Crazy Dave asks the player to keep his mold colonies safe and asks them to just not plant on them.
When the player defeats Day 11's wave, a treasure map is rewarded and Crazy Dave is excited to find some treasure since maps don't lie. On Day 12, Dr. Zomboss writes a note before the huge wave attacks, warning them that their boat is of insufficient size. After this exchange, the player will go on to defeat the Pirate Gargantuar and Crazy Dave reassures the player that their boat is a good enough size.
After the Gargantuar wave is beaten, players will get the option to continue playing through Pirate Seas levels or travel through to Wild West to continue stopping Dr. Zomboss' plans there.
At the start of Day 16, Penny warns the player that the zombie's ship appears to have some design flaws that might cause a problem in the long run. When Crazy Dave asks what they should look out for, Penny recommends that they watch their heads.
At the start of Day 19, Crazy Dave reminds the player to not let those Spring Beans walk the plank.
At the start of Day 23, Penny challenges the player, daring them to just TRY and reach the target score.
At the start of Day 25, Dr. Zomboss claiming Penny may be a Zombot since its temporal signature is nearly identical to his own creations. Penny asks Crazy Dave if she is the daughter of Dr. Zomboss, but Crazy Dave mentions only about a sandwich he just made. After the massive Gargantuar attacked is defeated, Crazy Dave states that only someone of his intelligence can understand the inner workings of his creations and Zomboss writes another note, saying that he will have the answers when he has Crazy Dave's brains.
During the Wild West outbreak, Penny detects that time portals have opened up and believes Dr. Zomboss is planning something. After Crazy Dave jokes about Dr. Who, Penny suspects that cowboys have taken over the zombie's pirate ship in order to plunder the gold which Dave thinks is cool. Later on, Crazy Dave notices they have a stowaway, and Penny informs them of the power of Electric Currant and that maybe he was hiding from the cowboys.
