Legend of Wild Pirate Captain Mwovu

"*One of the fateful night, when the wind belw calmly over the peaceful Caribbean sea.*"

A huge ship, that is made from the half of the gigantic tree trunk, with several smaller trees acting as a masts with from the giant leaves made sails, emerges and sails majestically and peacefully through the night. On the deck of the ship, there were several bon fires lit to enlighten the dark-blue night. There was the great party going on at the main deck, where various animals from various parts of the world were chatting with each other or dancing together as the party music, the celebrants' speeches and laughter and the party dinner, meat, grass, berries, fruits, honey, grubs, fish and water, was served on the split tree trunks, filled the happy atmosphere on the deck.

*"*The great merchant ships with the precious, valuable and tradable cargoes were sailing in safe and secure towards their homeland through the peaceful open sea.*"*

"*But even the happiest and most peaceful nights without any troubles can take a tragic turn in an unexpected way.*"

"*Because little did the ships' crews, merchants and passengers suspected, that they were pursued by...*"

"*Little did the crews, merchants and the passengers of the ships suspected, during of the peaceful nights apparently without any troubles, that they were pursued by...*"

Suddenly, a small but ominous-looking appears behind of the sailing ship. This vessel is much smaller but it is much faster than the bigger ship and on top of its highest mast is floating in the night wind from the giant leaves made torn flag, with the crude picture of the babboon skull in it. Under the cover of the darkness, the ominous vessel is in the hot pursuit and quickly, quietly and quite undetected by the crew catches larger and slower ship.

*"PIRATES!*

"*The mortal enemies of all honest sailors and ships, who lurked at every opportunity of large merchant ships for their precious cargoes.*"

The scene turns to the pirate captain of the vessel, a dark brown and black-maned lion, whose mane is in the shape of the tricorn hat with two feathers in the tip. His face is painted white with dark rings around of his ominous yellow eyes, along with the thick cream-colored fur around of his muzzle that resembles the beard. The captain has several brutally decapitated heads of the animals tied to hang from his mane as the sick trophies, and in his right shoulder, there is the same mark as in the ship's flag: the skull of the baboon, the Mark of the Piracy.

The captain watches the larger ship from his own ship's bridge, with a wide, malicious and greedy grin on his face, knowing that he and his crew has the element of surprise, thanks to the happy party in the ship, which had drawn the attention of everyone aboard to the celebration.

*And the most feared of all these pirates... was the legendary, ruthless, merciless and notorious Captain Mwovu the Beheader!*"

Said pirate captain turns around to look at his crew on the main deck, who are aiming the line of hollow and partially split tree trunks at the ship. The strongest animals of the crew were pulling back the flexible lianas behind of the tree trunks while others moved a crudely round-shaped wooden or rocky shots onto the partially split parts of the tree trunks. Captain Mwovu then lifts up his right paw over his head and quickly pulls it down as a sign.

**Captain Mwovu**"OPEN FIRE!"

The strongest animals then let go of the lianas and the shots are launched at the ship as the full boardside. The shots tear through of the hull of the giant ship, catching the crew and celebrating passengers by surprise. The pirate vessel keeps hammering the ship with the heavy cannonfire, leaving the ship's starboard side severely damaged and as the pirate vessel's rip open the hull, they kill many crew members, party guests and the passengers with the direct hits or with the flying wooden shards, staining the deck with the lightly or severely wounded or dead animals' bodies and blood. One shot hits couple of the bon fires, spreading the fire all over the deck, and several fly through of one of the masts, severelly damaging it and causing it to tilt over the deck, before the trunk of the mast snaps in half and the mast falls over the deck, killing all those ones who were unfortunate enough to stand in its way. The cannonfire also

**Crew Member**"Sound the alarm! We're under attack! Pirates! Pirates!"

The mindless panic errupts amongst the horrified party guests and the passengers. All the happy chatter and laughter turns into a horrified screams and cries. All the animals start rushing madly all around, pushing and trampling each other while searching for any safe place from the pirate attack, while the crew and the Sea Lion Guard hurried to their posts to defend the ship from the pirates. However, the unceasing cannonfire, the panicking crowds, the damage caused by the first broadside and the fires cause the difficulties for the Sea Lion Guard to prepare the ship to immediate defense state against the surprise attack of the pirates. The unceasing cannonfire from the pirate vessel creates a gigantic hole in the ship's hull, creating the entrance. However, the same cannonfire also damages the ship near of its water line, causing the sea water to flood in.

As the pirate vessel is slowly closing the distance between two ships while approaching towards the breach in the ship's hull, the Sea Lion Guard soldiers gather with large number to the breach in order to prevent the pirates from entering the ship through of it. The pirates in their own vessel gather to the board railing and sneer at the Sew Lion Guard soldiers, throwing out at them an insults, mockery and promises/threats for the slow and painful death.

*Captain Mwovu and his crew of cruel and bloodthirsty predator and prey cutthroats swooped out of nowhere like the stalking sea beast, attacking any ship that dared to sail alone suspecting nothing bad like this to happen on their border-free territory. And they left NO survivors to tell the tale.*"

**Captain Mwovu**"ATTACK! KILL THEM ALL!"

When the ships are side by side, the pirates attach the ships together with the horned whales' skulls attached in the lianas before they lower the plank over the small gap between of their ship and the giant ship's breach. The pirates then storm over the plank into the breach while others capable to climbing start climbing along the hull and over the railing. In fact, the pirates start attacking by climbing inside of the ship through of any breach caused by the pirate vessel's heavy cannonfire. And because the pirate vessel's

Pirates throws then the several a three-pronged grappling hooks to Bermuda's railings and many pirate mammals, both prey and predators, starts to climb along the ship's hull to the main deck with the pistols, daggers, axes and cutlasses. Some of them even attack inside of ship from the holes caused by the pirate vessel's heavy cannonfire. Because the pirate vessel's masts reach above of the giant ship's main deck, some pirates, primarly the primates, starts boarding the ship by swinging on the ropes from their own vessel's masts to buy their fellow shipmates time to board after them.

The air is full of battle cries and screams in agony as the pirates and soldiers start fighting each other with claws and teeth. Many pirates die in the first assault and the Sea Lion Guard manages to hold their ground, successfully repelling the pirates' attempts to break through the breach

However, despite suffering the heavy casualties, the pirates keep attacking, pushing the Sea Lion Guard's soldiers harder back and throwing themselves at them as if not caring of dying. The pirate crew's more experienced, toughest, largest, strongest and even deadliest members soon turn the tables and the fight turns quickly into a bloody carnage, where the pirates eventually manage to break through the breach's defense and spread all over the main deck, taking over the ship's main deck quickly and overwhelmingly, and slaughtering everything on their sight without mercy. The blood and savagely mauled bodies soon cover the ship's main deck in mere seconds.

The ship's crew and the Sea Lion Guard loses the fight against the pirates quickly and with the heavy casualties, while the pirates themselves suffer surprisingly only minor casualties, thanks to their element of surprise that provided them their successful surprise attack.

After taking over the ship, the pirates, with Captain Mwovu in the lead, storm into the ship's lower decks, capturing or slaughtering all the passengers on their way, before they reach to the cargo hold, where the pirates discover a large amount of stored food supplies meant both for the voyage and to trade with other lands.

The split tree trunk full of stored meat: ribs, briskets, shanks and rumps, is brought before Captain Mwovu. The evil pirate laughs maniacally as he watches the meaty bounty in front of him with the hungry and greedy grin.

Then, under Captain Mwovu's watch, the pirates starts to loot the ships cargo hold empty and take all of its precious cargo to their own vessel. The pirates also take all the captured survivors from the ship to their own - in hope to either make them as the new crew members or else they can serve them as their slaves and fresher food supplies (killing and eating them). After the ship is empty, the pirates detach their vessel from the giant ship and flee from the scene, leaving burning and heavily damaged ship behind to sink into the sea. All the surviving passengers, crew and Sea Lion Guard who have evaded the brutal attack, the massacre and the capture are left there to sink with the ship.

*And after gathering up their spoils, Captain Mwovu and his crew fled... vanishing into the dead of night, without the trace.*"

"*For generations, stories passed from one animal to another about the Captain Mwovu and his pirating rampage over seven seas while avoiding the Paw of the Law. He becme quickly the legendary pirate, the main subject to many tavern yarns and a horror stories, and a dreaded plague of the sea trading. He was immediately labelled as the most wanted pirate over the Seven Seas nearly by all the known kingdoms and, in a desperate attempt to restrict his movements and get him in the justice, a great reward has been placed on his capture or death. Many have already tried to bring him into justice in hopes of the reward, but so far none has been successful: Many have either given up the hunting, died trying, turned on each other to claim the reward for themselves to the point of even killing each other, or were captured by Captain Mwovu himself and thus either imprisoned/required to his crew or silenced forever. However, some were even bribed to remain silent about his movements in exchange of being spared or some have turned to the other side of the Law and became corrupted enforcers of the villainous captain.*"

"And so, unless Captain Mwovu is finally apprehended or killed, he will, and will forever remain at large. as the Greatest Pirate over the Seven Sea."
