The Case of the Pirate Ship

**The Case of the Pirate Ship** is the twenty-third episode of Season 2 of Fishtronaut and the seventy-fifth episode of the series.

## Summary

The episode opens with the trio and the twins playing tennis together at Cicada Beach, as the ball accidentally lands on water. As Fishtronaut retrieves the ball, a P.O.P. arrives towards the trio.

**P.O.P. Clues:** an antique key and an anchor covered in algae

Receiving the clues, the twins explain to Zeek that the metal object he talked about is an anchor, which is used to keep ships from floating away and the twins think the key clue has something to do with those used by pirates to open chests. When Zeek thought of pirates, the twins say that they learned at school that pirates used to invade the seas and had tons of treasure and the key is thought to belong to the treasure chest of the Blue Pirate. Marina then tells Zeek that the Blue Pirate wore blue clothes as name suggests and some said that the Blue Pirate sailed the seas many years ago, but no one knows if the legend is true. Zeek starts thinking of being a Pirate after Marina explains to him about the legend of the Blue Pirate as Fishtronaut thinks that the anchor clue has something to do with a sunken ship (Marina also explains that there are no pirates sailing the seas in modern day) as Billy and Mac says that they remember at school that their history project must be finished and thought they would be rich for finding the spot where the treasure would be.

Fishtronaut and Marina decide to dive underwater to find the sunken ship while Fishtronaut tells Zeek to dive underwater to find the hidden treasure in the sunken ship without being wet, but Zeek decides not to dive underwater and decides to protect the clues from being stolen. Meanwhile, the twins start thinking that buried treasure can be found by digging spots marked with an "X", like the ones formed by two twigs. Back to Marina and Fishtronaut, they see many types of fish, along with squids, crabs, seahorses, starfish, and an octopus wearing a pirate bandana. The octopus greets Fishtronaut and Marina as Marina explains where he found the bandana. The octopus explains that he found the bandana in a sunken ship far away (the key is linked to the treasure chest inside the Blue Pirate's sunken ship and the anchor clue is linked to the ship that is sunk at the bottom of the sea). The two decide to follow him to the sunken ship.

Upon arriving to the sunken ship, Fishtronaut thanks the octopus for helping him and Marina find the sunken ship. Meanwhile, the twins did not find any treasure after digging into one of the spots marked with an "X". The twins found out that the "X" spots are formed by fallen twigs, not marked by pirates. The twins found out that the treasure must be inside a ship. Back with Marina and Fishtronaut, the two enter the sunken ship and cannot find a treasure chest. Back at Cicada Beach, Zeek starts disguising himself as a pirate while trying to protect the clues. Back to Marina and Fishtronaut again, they never found any treasure and arrived at the lower deck of the ship. Fishtronaut and Marina encounter a sleeping hermit crab, in which the two ask him that they cannot find the chest. The hermit crab finds a treasure chest for the two and the two of them are happy for finding the chest for them as they let him sleep peacefully again.

Fishtronaut and Marina arrive back at the surface as Marina thanks the octopus again for helping the two find the lost treasure at the sunken ship, where he led them to. They suddenly arrive at Cicada Beach, where Zeek was pretending to be a pirate as the two open the chest with the key clue. Upon opening the chest and inside, there are several maps and journals about the Blue Pirate inside. Back at the Beanstalk Care Center, Dr. Green is excited that his friends found the maps and journals during a discovery. Marina says that an octopus led her and Fishtronaut through a cave to the sunken ship by Cicada Beach and Dr. Green says that the maps and journals confirmed that the Blue Pirate really existed, proving that the legend is true. Dr. Green explains that the Blue Pirate used Cicada Beach as the hideout for him and his crew over 300 years ago and one day, a huge storm arrived and the the pirates abandoned their ship that ended up sinking and never came back to Cicada Beach. Dr. Green explains that the sunken ship and documents teach more about history, since the ship and historical documents are precious treasures to all of humanity as Dr. Green made a decision to donate these historical documents to a museum so visitors can see them and understand the history. Suddenly, another P.O.P. arrives towards the trio.

**P.O.P. Rewards:** pirate costumes

Receiving the reward, the trio and the twins pretend to be pirates sailing the seas.
