The Legend of Blowfleet
"Gather round 'n' hear the legend. Cap'n Blowfleet never lost a crewman to th' scurvy, nor a tsunami, nor a creature from th' depths. In truth, his pirates were feared thru' each o' the seven seas. From th' Windies to th' Polars, thar weren't a port nor anchorage which were safe from his plund'rers 'n' it be foolish to challenge 'em.
Legend says they were guided by Egyptian enchantment, so only th' bravest mariner would be foolish enough to risk a salty death. But for one pirate, Davy Jones's locker held no dread.
That pirate commandeered a vessel of high repute 'n' mustered a crew of strong-n'-th'-arm sea-dogs. That pirate took up Blowfleet's gauntlet. That pirate set sail to pillage 'is strongholds, plunder 'is loot, 'n' capture 'is scalp. That pirate be you."
