Belt of Champions

The Belt of Champions is a belt which, for the wearer, comes with the title of Best Pirate in the Spiral. It is coveted by many pirates, including the Crushers gang of Skull Island. The belt is the key to acquiring the highly regarded treasure known as the Eye of the Liger. During a voyage by the second Sinbad and his crew in Skull Island, they were ambushed by the Crushers, who wanted to take the Belt of Champions for their leader, the Crush-Tacian. The Crushers kidnapped Sinbad with the intention of forcefully getting the belt off of him, leading to the remaining crew to call on the Pirate for help in rescuing him. The crew and the Pirate fought through the Crushers in their hideout in Devilfish Hollow but soon came to find out that Sinbad had taken the belt back from the Crush-Tacian and abandoned his crew. Betrayed first mate Albano afterwards schemed to track down Sinbad and take his Belt of Champions so that the Pirate could have the belt and later, the Eye of the Liger. Some time later, this led to the two inadvertedly saving Sinbad from the Iron Lotus in Tamagoyaki Tower in MooShu's Ravaged Valley. After being rescued, Sinbad would reveal that he had hired the Iron Lotus as a dispensable crew to pull off a heist related to a buy which Sinbad had lined up for the Belt of Champions. This buyer was the reason that he had abandoned his crew, out of worry that he would take the crew hostage for leverage. However, the Iron Lotus would turn out to be affiliated with General Klaw of Rajah, and mutinied, imprisoning him within Tamagoyaki Tower. Klaw took the Belt of Champions from Sinbad with the intent of using it to acquire the Eye of the Liger, which he would then use to conquer Rajah. Thus, Sinbad joined the Pirate's crew and urged the importance of following Klaw's trail and getting the belt back in order to save Rajah from his tyrannical rule.
