Born **Johnathon Silver** to two wealthy diplomats in the Red Lobster Isle in 1929, life for Long John Silver was planned out for him. His father, a Lieutenant General in the Red Lobster Marine Corps (RLMC), Johnathan went to the Red Lobster Naval Academy for his adolescent education. He was raised up to succeed his father as a military man. His mother was a famous pirate, turned congresswoman. She was arrested in 1921 for piracy and conspiracy to commit murder, but was pardoned by corrupt government official, and future Monarch of the Red Lobster Isles, Red Lobster IV. As a young man, Johnathon Silver was a womanizer, and had a reputation of being "well-endowed", earning him the nickname of "Long John". Long John graduated the naval academy at the age of 18, in the year of 1947, during the height of the Great Food War. Graduating at the rank of 2nd Lieutenant, "Long John" Silver was sent straight into the war on the side of the Allied Forces, on behalf of the Red Lobster Kingdom.

## Tensions leading to The Great Food War (1948 - 1953)

Although the Great Food War had not officially started until 1953, tensions were brewing in the formative years leading up to it. Long John began his long, successful military career as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Red Lobster Marine Corps. He was quickly put in a place of leadership, leading Lobster Marines into battles with the Red Lobster Isle's bitter rival, The Kentucky Fried Chicken Army. Strangers to maritime warfare, the KFCA stood no chance against the RLMC, nor it's superior tactical leadership. Quickly rising in the ranks, Long John was promoted to 1st Lieutenant in 1948. But, his celebration was cut short. Long John's father, General Longer John Silver, was killed in action during the McDonaldland led assault on Red Lobster Isle's capital, Lobsteria (1948). Red Lobster had been trading with The Burger Kingdom, which caused the Red Lobster Isle and The Burger Kingdom to both flourish, enabling The Burger Kingdom's superiority in the political cold war for brand supremacy between them and McDonaldland. Long John was heartbroken with grief, and blinded by rage. His mother consoled him, and advised him to tap into their old world pirate heritage, and to lay siege to McDonaldland in his father's name. Heeding his mother's word, Long John decided it was time for change. In March 1949, Long John Silver took his fleet and did the unexpected; having built up his fleet for months, it was expected by civilians and government officials alike that the famous 1st Lieutenant Silver would take his infantry unit and lay siege to McDonaldland. But Long John knew he would be fighting a losing battle for a weak government by doing that. He decided that it was time to topple the Red Lobster Monarchy, in order to have total control of the Red Lobster Isles. Invading the capital of Lobsteria, the government was too weak from the previous siege via McDonaldland to fight back, and Long John's ragtag band of infantrymen sieged the Capitol Tank, slaughtering many of the Lobster kingsmen inside. Once inside, Captain Silver challenged Red Lobster IV to a one-on-one battle to the death, to prove his supremacy to man and lobster alike. Despite knowing he would most likely die, King Red Lobster IV accepted this challenge, bind by a code of honor. Drawing his scimitar, he rushed Silver, engaging in a sword duel. To his surprise, he bested a battle-weary Silver, stabbing him in his lower abdomen, impaling him. While feigning weakness, 1stLt. Silver lie on the ground, pleading for forgiveness. As Red Lobster IV drew his dagger to deliver the final blow, Silver drew his flintlock pistol and put a moonroof in Red Lobster's skull. Following the successful coup, Long John Silver's men prepared a feast, frying all of Red Lobster's kin alive. That evening, they ate the entire Red Lobster bloodline, putting an end to the short lived civil war. Long John was a hero to the people, and the rest of the RLMC laid down their arms and bent the knee, pledging fealty to him as their new pirate king. As a last act of recognition, the Commandant of the RLMC meritoriously promoted Long John to Captain of the Red Lobster Marine Corps. As new Pirate King of the Red Lobster Isles, Long John's first act was to rename it to Silver's Island, in honor of his father's sacrifice for their homeland. He renamed the capitol Silverland, in his own honor. He dissolved the RLMC, and rebranded it the Silver's Island Marine Corps.

## The Great Food War (1952-1975)

Some may say that Pirate King Captain Long John Silver started the war in 1953, but this is widely debated. Some say that the Atomic Bombing of the Burger Kingdom is truly what started it. But on December 15th, 1953, Long John Silver finally pursued McDonaldland in revenge of his father's death, and more. The Burger Kingdom had been destroyed, and Silver's Island had been dealt a crippling economic blow, losing their most powerful trading partner. Silver decided that enough was enough, and opted to strike a trade embargo against McDonaldland, surrounding their entire border with his legendary fleet. Silver personally challenged Mayor McCheese, giving him two options. The first, that there would be peace if McDonaldland surrendered 50% of it's resources monthly to Silver's Island, in order to pay their debt off and make things right. The second, total annihilation. McCheese, never one to feel threatened by anybody, armed the citizens of Ancapistan with portable hand-held nuclear rocket launchers. They used this to destroy the Silver Fleet, sending what remained back to the Silver Island in defeat. Long John Silver's personal ship survived the assault, but he did not escape unscathed. 45% of Silver's left leg was blown off in the assault, leading to him having to amputate it from the knee down to prevent gangrene from spreading to the rest of his body. Silver swore vengeance against McDonaldland. Long John Silver began rebuilding his fleet, and did not muster the manpower or confidence to attack the Allied Foods again until 1963.

## The Silver War (1963 - 1975)

In 1963, Long John Silver decided that the best way to challenge McDonaldland would be to build an empire. Long John decided that his first vassal state would be The Kentucky Fried Chicken, at the time known as The Taco Republic of Cane. See, in 1954, years prior, the Taco Bell Republic of Taco Bell Island laid claim to the Kentucky Fried Chicken. They successfully sacked the entire island, and installed former Taco Bell governor Raisin G. Cane as the new dictator, renaming it The Taco Republic of Cane in his honor. While the Great Food War still raged on, Silver used it as a distraction to build his deep state shadow empire. On May 26th, 1963, Silver took his rebuilt fleet, and began a marine invasion of The Republic. The campaign raged on from 1963 - 1975.

### The Rat Offensive (May 1963 - January 1964)

The Rat Offensive began in the city of Rat, T.R.O.C. Silver believed that an invasion of Rat would lead to a strategic advantage in T.R.O.C. The campaign did not go as initially planned, though. Facing jungle environments and guerilla warfare, the S.I.M.C., was starting to question the purpose of the war. Young men were drafted, and killed. The news began to slander
