First encounters with other pirates

They drove slowly towards it, and when they were there they climbed up. They looked around, but everything was empty. They looked around unsuspectingly. Then Andrew started to grin: "Just leave such a beautiful ship alone ... We should take it over!". For once, even Mike was on his side. They had to fix it up a bit, but that shouldn't be a problem. The damage was not particularly great and the ship was fully equipped. That was the chance. Then they would have a galley, two cabins, a small bathroom and even a pantry! There were some boxes in the pantry that you could fill with fruit, bread and many other things. "Definitely better than the nutshell, I think ..." Isabel said and looked around. Andrew nodded eagerly and jumped back and forth.
So they decided to take over the ship. In front was a wooden head that looked like a monkey, he had put on a big grin, only he was missing some color. Andrew liked the monkey best. Isabel told Mike that the monkey looked somehow like Andrew and Mike couldn't help but grin. "Let's get our things on the ship!" Said Mike. Andrew was blown away by the monkey. He didn't hear Mike at all.
And after a few minutes everything was upstairs and safely stowed away. The card Andrew had found in the box was owned by Mike at the moment, when he remembered he gave it to Isabel, he couldn't do anything with it anyway. She also tried to find out where they were right away. Which wasn't that easy, because you couldn't see anything but water. First she sat down and studied the map.
The blond boy had another occupation: he was painting a Jolly Roger! Its very own pirate flag.
First he sat there and thought, because he had no idea what he should paint. He decided to paint a monkey skull with blond hair. Mike thought it was pretty stupid, but Andrew was the captain after all.
"Monkey Pirates", that's what they should be called, said Andrew proudly. Isabel gave a puzzled look because this name was literally: Monkey!
It was slowly noon and finally one could see land. They immediately taxed it. Now Isabel had figured out the location too. About time, or something like that, Andrew grumbled. The first time they fortified their new ship on the island. "I'm going to get some provisions!" Said the tall, brown-haired man, but he was gone right away.
Andrew went to look around a bit. After everyone was gone, Isabel went too. She wanted to get some things to navigate.
When the three came back they had everything they needed. Mike had also found a large barrel to store water in. Andrew had got himself a headscarf and also boards and paint. He repainted the monkey and repaired the ship.In the meantime, the brown-haired woman started to examine the map, because the three of them want to go to the Grand Line. However, they still needed a ship's doctor. Without one it would all be far too dangerous.
In the evening they cast off; Isabel had meanwhile planned a precise route. Andrew didn't really care, he just wanted to be on the Grand Line. However, Mike and Isabel were not so sure that the three of them would ride the Grand Line. That was very dangerous after all. They needed at least a doctor, or someone who knew about a first aid kit.
When Mike called for dinner, his friend was immediately seated at the table. But he can run when it comes to food, Isabel thought with a slight grin on her face. The food smelled so good that the blonde had to eat right away. "Wow! Mike since when have you been able to cook so well?" He smacked his lips. Shaking his head, his colleague replies: "I have cooked several times and you only notice it now?"
After this delicious meal the three went to sleep. The night was very quiet. No wind went. It was very quiet. Except for Andrew, who snored quite loudly. Mike had to cover his ears because otherwise he would have gone nuts. Would he keep it up forever, Andrew's snoring every night.
At daybreak they drove on. Andrew tried desperately to sew the monkey's skull and the words "Monkey Pirates" into his headscarf. At some point Isabel took it out of his hand because she couldn't see how he stabbed his fingers. Andrew now put a few plasters on his fingers.
Isabel sewed the monkey onto his headscarf and gave it back to him: "That's better, isn't it?". He picked it up and examined it, then put it on himself and had a big smile on his face. He literally fell around her neck and thanked her. "It's okay! But please let go of me again!" Said Isabel, because it seemed a bit uncomfortable to her. Mike had also known moments when Andrew fell around his neck. That was pretty embarrassing, every time anew.
It was a foggy day. You could hardly see your hand in front of your eyes. They were lucky that they had picked up Isabel, otherwise they would have lost their way. Somehow it wasn't the best weather for sailing and so they stopped for a while. Andrew sat down in the crow's nest and tried to see something, but to no avail. Mike rinsed the breakfast plates in the kitchen and hummed to himself.
Andrew looked down from the crow's nest and called, "Miiiikeeee ??? Have you seen my telescope ???". Mike came out and stood under the crow's nest: "What's going on?". His captain leaned across the grounds to look at Mike. Suddenly he fell behind, right on Mike, Isabel was just coming out and just couldn't help laughing. But it looked really too weird.
Andrew jumped up as if stung by a tarantula and had a bright red head. "You're so stupid!"Mike slowly got to his feet again." I-I-don't! You could have gone away! ", the blonde spoke so fast that you could hardly understand him. He sat on his monkey and carved a miniature of it. By the way, he had named the ship" Smiling Monkey ".
The day itself didn't get any better. On the contrary, a shadow emerged from the fog. In fact, it was a pretty big shadow. And that shadow roared too. It appeared to be a ship, or a very large fish. When it got closer you could see that it was a ship. The flag couldn't be seen properly yet. Mike and Isabel had a bad feeling, but Andrew was very happy: "What kind of ship is that? Maybe it's a famous pirate or something !!". He put on a big grin. "Andrewthisis not the right moment to be happy about famous pirates. Because if it is a famous pirate, he will certainly not drink tea with us!", Isabel said quietly but seriously to him .
The ship was getting closer and now you could see the flag. "That's ...!" Said Mike, shocked. "There you have your famous pirate you monkey!" Isabel hissed.
"Really he's famous? Who is it? Tell me! I don't even know her! Hey talk to me!" Andrew jumped back and forth and waved Isabel around in front of her face. She grabbed his arm: "Stop it that is unbearable! You behave like a little child! Did you drink anything with caffeine?!?".
There were some pirates on the ship, none of whom looked very nice. A low chuckle went around. "The blonde is sure to be the cabin boy!" "The way he can be addressed!" "I bet the big one is the captain!" "Don't talk crap! The girl is a captain!". The pirates seemed to be arguing who was the captain of the ship.
A pirate stepped out of the shadows, laughing, he started: "Little children? Don't you want to go back to your mommies ??". Andrew wanted to go at him, but Isabel held him: "If you make a wrong move he will kill you! Pirates are not to be trifled with, do not forget that!". Andrew paused, he didn't want to die yet. The pirate captain laughed at him. He jumped on her ship and looked around: "Well guys. How I see it ... I would also say the girl is the captain!".
He started laughing out loud, a little girl captaining a pirate ship. "Well my sweetie? Am I right or not?" He still had a big grin on his lips. "First: I'm-not-your-sweet! And second: This one is the captain. So you are completely wrong!", Isabel raised Andrew's arm so that the pirate knew who she was talking about. "First, sweetie: I won't let myself talk like that! Second: I don't believe you! And finally: I call you what I want!", He took a step towards her and stretched it out Arm out."If you touch my navigator, you stupid cardboard, I'll kill you!" Andrew yelled suddenly. The pirate pulled out a pistol and pointed it straight at Andrew: "What did you say?!? Cardboard nose ?! CARDBOARD NOSE?!? The nose you see here is not a cardboard nose! IT IS REAL!". Andrew winced slightly, Mike was also very scared. "So little blonde! Now make your will! Because nobody calls Buggy the clown with impunity!", Buggy looked at Andrew with a malicious grin. He slowly took his finger on the trigger. He was about to shoot, that much was clear. "Andrew that was very stupid ... very, very stupid ..." the girl muttered.
The red-nosed clown looked at him seriously. Mike shivered a little, because if Buggy had taken on Andrew, it would be his turn. Buggy pulled the trigger and Andrew stood petrified, about to die. The navigator just couldn't look, but when she did she was shocked. Mike also had a very unusual look. Buggy started laughing, he really enjoyed it in every way. "H-Hey !!", Mike said with a shaky voice, "You can't just do that !!". Buggy, however, rolled over with laughter. Only a plastic bird shot out of his pistol because it was just a trick pistol. Andrew was hit hard and his face was just delightful. He just stood there in shock and saw the bird bobbing up and down in front of his face. Unbelievable, he thought he was going to die now and now it was just a bad joke! "That wasn't funny! I seriously thought you'd kill him now!" Isabel's voice sounded a bit shaky. Buggy laughed and turned to her: "Oh no? I thought that was hilarious! I can't stop myself!". They also all stood on Buggy's ship and laughed to pieces. “He's the biggest!” “Buggy you are awesome!” “Simply unbelievable!”.
Mike was always completely horrified and looked at Buggy. "That wasn't nice!" Andrew complained. "But, but! Pirates are never nice!", Buggy
