In a town

Two men are running in the streets with soldiers behind them.

"Jack, what the fuck did you do?" asked a man who was running. He had red hair and black eyes, and a handsome face. This is none other than Alex

"It's Captain Jack," said the man. The man was a tall and lanky man with a wild head of curly brown hair, a scruffy goatee, and a mischievous twinkle in his eye. He wore a brown leather vest, a blue and white striped shirt, and brown trousers. He had a sword strapped to his waist and a pistol tucked in his belt.

"I don't care"

"Just say what you did, otherwise I will hand you over to those soldiers," said Alex threatening Jack

"Are you really my friend?" asked Jack funnily

"Just say what you did?" asked Alex

"I just asked for directions?" said Jack with an innocent expression

"Why would they attack you then?" asked Alex with a confused expression.

"I just asked where to find the locker in their mansion," said Jack.

"Why would you ask them?" asked Alex.

"I lost my way"

"You, how many times do I have to tell you not to cause problems wherever we go "

"You are there to solve problems," said Jack with a smile

Hearing that Alex grabbed Jack Coller and lifted him and threw him towards the soldiers.

"Ahhhhhh"

The soldiers fell down as they caught Jack

"Alex, how can you throw your captain "

"I can I will "

Alex descended quickly toward the soldiers and slashed them with his sword, splattering blood all around. Alex's sword was incredibly sharp and precise, allowing him to swiftly and easily disarm and defeat the soldiers. His agility and strength also allowed him to move quickly, making it difficult for soldiers to defend themselves.

"As always you deal with them in the blink of an eye," said Jack standing up from the ground.

"Just don't cause problems. We both are wanted by East Indian company " said Alex

"It is not us, you are the most wanted "

"I tried to rob them, but you killed a lot of their members," Jack said as he tried to find valuables on the bodies of the soldiers.

"let's go, we have to go to Port Royal," said Alex

"Why?" asked Jack

"I want to meet someone."

"Is it a girl?"

"Yes," said Alex

"Oh, there is a girl in your life "

"I thought you were just interested in the sea," Jack said as he found some money on the soldiers.

"I'm not like you who is a scumbag," said Alex

"Don't call me scum, I just don't find those girls attractive."

"Then why do you sleep with them?" asked Alex

"That is what they asked me," said Jack shamelessly

"Okay, let's just go. I'm not listening to your stories" said Alex

"Okay "

Alex met Jack four years ago while he was visiting a town. When Alex saw Jack being chased by soldiers, he decided to help him.

But the soldiers who Alex killed belonged to the East Indian company which caused a lot of trouble. Alex was chased by soldiers everywhere he went.

The East India Company was a powerful force in the area and had a monopoly on trade in the region. Alex had accidentally killed some of the company's soldiers, so they were determined to capture him and bring him to justice. As a result, Alex had no choice but to flee and join forces with Jack.

But travelling with Jack caused a lot of problems for Alex, as Jack caused trouble everywhere he went

Jack was a notorious pirate and criminal, and travelling with him raised a lot of suspicion and attention from the local authorities. This made it difficult for Alex to move around freely.

Jack also used Alex to solve all of his problems. This caused headaches for Alex. Additionally, Jack's reliance on Alex for help with his own problems puts Alex in awkward and potentially dangerous situations.

"Okay, let go port "

After that, they both arrived at the port, and Jack was able to get help with his problem. However, Alex was still not happy with Jack always relying on him.

Following that, they both arrived at the port. Alex saw that their ship was missing.

"Jack where is our ship?" asked Alex turning his head towards Jack.

"I handed it over to my trusted companion," he said, scratching his head

"Where did you meet him?" asked Alex

"I met him three days ago in a bar."

"Didn't you say he could be trusted?" asked Alex

"Yes, he said the same thing, he can be trusted "

"You idiot, our ship was stolen, now how can we travel," said Alex hitting Jack's head.

"There is a ship," said Jack pointing towards a small boat

"That is not a ship, that is a boat!" cried Alex in anger.
