Bab 118: Blackbeard & Bloodbeard, the Titans of the Sea Clash

The sun dipped toward the western horizon, casting a fiery orange glow over the churning sea. The two pirate ships, battered and scarred from countless battles, floated menacingly amidst the rolling waves. Captain Bloodbeard's boat, the "Crimson Leviathan," with its tattered sails and patched-up hull, bobbed impatiently alongside Captain Blackbeard's formidable vessel, the "Shadow's Wrath," a dark silhouette against the dying light. 

The crews of both ships stood at the ready, eyeing each other warily as the captains exchanged venomous words from the safety of their respective decks. Captain Bloodbeard, a wiry figure with a tricorn hat pulled low over his eyes, paced back and forth on the "Crimson Leviathan," sneering across the narrowing gap at his adversary.
