The Pirate

A bold Caribbean pirate named Blackbeard is descended from the great pirates of old and robs various yachts and ships carrying treasure with the help of his bad-boy crew on his ship the Darkness.

"
Pirate Blackbeard was a perfect and ideal pirate of the modern world. Descended from the great legendary pirates of older times, Blackbeard always wore black and carried his trusted favorite saber-sword which he called the Cutter. Blackbeard commanded a modest pirate-ship named the Darkness and a crew of other like-minded nearly-obedient pirates. Blackbeard's pirates of the Darkness included Oily (a Mediterranean thief!), Tuff (a Greek tough-man!), Mardis (a Spanish devil!), and Rosey (a surfing bandit!). Blackbeard's pirates of the Darkness sailed around the seas/waters of the blue Caribbean, searching for modern-day aristocrats sailing idly on their luxurious yachts with treasures and money on board and for various official boats/ships of nations carrying some kind of booty/bounty.

Blackbeard and his crew of pirates (the crew of the Darkness referred to themselves as the 'Black Snakes') had robbed over 15 luxury yachts and over 10 national boats/ships carrying money and/or booty and bounty of some kind or another. Blackbeard collected all the stolen treasures and hid them in a secret cave on an uncharted and unlogged island off the coast of Thailand, which he named the Pearl. The treasures were kept in boxes and buried in the ground in the cave in a deep hidden part of the cave which Blackbeard marked on his treasure-map, so he'd always remember exactly where he hid the great treasures. Blackbeard estimated that his stolen treasures during his high-seas rough adventures on the Caribbean amounted to something over $10 million. Blackbeard and his Darkness crew (the 'Black Snakes') intended to retire to Switzerland with their treasure after their adventures were over and buy a large mansion/estate.

The modern world was nothing like the days of old for pirates! Blackbeard daydreamed of retiring to Switzerland with his crew and finding a bevy of gorgeous women to take as wives and live in a giant estate in the Alps with his crew (the 'Black Snakes'). Blackbeard envisioned purchasing a jacuzzi, multiple high-definition TVs fitted both indoors and in the large outdoor glass-greenhouse with fitted sauna!). This was the modern world of amenities and great technological comforts, and Blackbeard wanted his crew of Black Snakes and all the wives they would eventually take as 'trophies' to enjoy modern amenities such as Keurig coffee-machines, exercise machines and the new Mirror exercise vanity-panel, smart-home remote-controlled rooms, heat-sensing temperature-coolers, self-cleaning ovens, and luxury and sport smart-cars and self-parking cars! Blackbeard also wanted to get iPhones for himself and his crew and enjoy YouTube movies and videos, perhaps of old-world pirate movies along with modern ones (e.g., Treasure Island, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales!).

During the plundering activities of Blackbeard and his crew of Black Snakes on their pirate-ship the Darkness, these adventure-embracing pirates of the Caribbean soared on yachts and national boats/ships using ropes and used swords and pistols to disarm the inhabitants/guards of the vessels and hand-to-hand combat skills to deal with the Coast Guard and other sea security officials of the Caribbean. Blackbeard and his crew of Black Snakes vowed, however, never to indulge in modern-day piracy-activities such as drug-smuggling and outright terrorism! No, these Caribbean pirates preferred old-styled piracy consciousness mixed with modern world treasure-hunting! Blackbeard wondered if his crew would ever be caught, since he made the victims of his plundered vessels vow to never disclose they were looted by pirates, lest they be stalked forever by his crew of Black Snakes when they went to their otherwise 'secure' homes in civilization!

Blackbeard also wondered if his exploits would be recounted in folk-tales and human stories about adventures and mysticism in the seas of the Caribbean. After all, during one exploit/adventure, Blackbeard's crew of the Darkness looted a ship carrying gold and searching for remnants of the sunken iconic/legendary cruise-vessel the Titanic. This Titanic-search ship, called the Expedition, carried a strange captain's journal and map containing information and theories of a magical glowing emerald on-board the tragic sunken Titanic. Blackbeard and his crew of Black Snakes decided to purchase scuba-gear and do deep-diving for this strange and mystical glowing emerald which was rumored to afford the owner psychic powers! Though they never found this magical emerald, Blackbeard always wondered is his quest for this incredible emerald would someday be recounted in great tales of his pirate-ship the Darkness. How would Blackbeard's impact on the Caribbean be stamped upon human delight?
