Within another 6 days, the pirates find themselves looking at the towering fortress in Shipwreck cove, and dock with thousands of other pirate ships. "The pirates of the world have gathered to meet the threat of the East India Trading Company and the Brittish Empire," Scarlet says as she walks down the gangplank followed by Ang. "The Breatheren Court has been gathered, the nine Pirate Lords have arrived at Shipwreck Cove, and it is here that the fate of our profession shall be decided."

Captain Fox had split off from Scarlet and sailed to the other side of the fortress, where he docked with two Man-Of-Wars, and five Frigates... with a few converted Merchant ships that were now gun boats... he looked around and then commented to his First officer. "This many? Why so few?"
"We have to have ships to guard our Island... otherwise they could overrun us in our shortage." Captain Fox only nodded, of course, you go command the Arctic Fox... I hope my other Foxes are ready... and here, take this." He tossed another Gold Kitsune... "I was able to take this from a destroyed shop... It should protect your ship... don't worry, I am going to talk to the Lord from Japan about maybe getting a few more of them." He smiled as he walked down the gangplank and began to walk to the court.

As the court starts to gather, three of the Bretheren Court is already waiting for Scarlet and Ang.
The first is the Japanese Pirate Lord, and the only other woman on the council, a woman wearing a black ninja outfit, minus the cowl, which allows her long black hair to fall around her as she stares at the assembling crowd with a cold collected look, her hand barely ever leaving a katana at her side.
The second is the French Pirate Lord, dressed in a light blue uniform with a feathery hat, he strokes a small goatee.
The third to have arrived was the African Pirate Lord, with a small beard and wearing a tattered captain's uniform.
Scarlet and Ang take a seat at the table realizing that they are 4 Lords short.

Captain Fox entered the room and stood off to the side, he had not yet been called as a Lord and he didn't think he had any of the pieces of eight needed for the ceremony. But he was just watching around everything.

The next to arrive was the indian Pirate Lord, with a long beard and dressed in the garb of India with a large turban that seems to have a habit of slipping over his eyes sometimes.
The seventh to arrive was a ghastly looking man with scraggly brown hair, and wearing a black feathered hat and torn coat.
The eighth is a rather short bald man with a moustache and wearing a fine tailored suit.
At this point, Scarlet took the oppertunity to stand up, there was one place left on the table. "I regret to inform the court that Captain Saranson was killed in combat against the East India Trading Company, he asked me to pass the position on to a pirate captain that I felt to be worthy of the title. Will Captain Fox please approach," she calls out.

Captain Fox blinked and looked surprised in the least. He however puffed out his chest and right away stepped forward. "I am here." He stated in a matter of fact tone of voice... He was hiding the shock of the suddenness of this happening... part of the people to control the Pirate's ways... he was both honored and shocked at the same time, now he had to be worried about being stabbed int he back.
He was unsure of what sea or ocean he would be lord over now.

"There has always been nine Pirate Lords, and as long as piracy exists, there allways will be. Captain Fox, you have been brought before the Bretheren Court because you have been deemed worthy of bearing the title of Pirate Lord of the Northern Atlantic and Mediterranian, is there anyone among us who would object to this decision?" Scarlet says, removing an item from her pocket, and since there is no objectors, places it in Fox's hands, it is a silver piece of eight. "Take your seat, Captain Fox, and the Bretheren Court can finally begin."

Captain Fox took the piece of silver and sat down in the only empty seat, between the French Pirate and Scarlet. He nodded his head as he looked at the small ball and chain that he had heard about being used to call meetings to order, it had supposedly belonged to the first Pirate King that created the Nine Lords... and here was was, seating at the breatheren court.

"You are probably all aware of why the court has been called, or at least have an idea as why," Scarlet says. "Recent events have forced us to make a choice, we can either sit back and do nothing, which will most likely lead to the end of us all, or, we can declaire the Carribean a sovereign nation for pirates, and all those who desire to oppose the Brittish, and our only choice will be total war."
"You realize of course, Captain Scarlet, that such a decree can only be made by the Pirate King, and we haven't had a Pirate King on this council since the first court began," the french pirate lord says.
"That is why I am going to call for a vote," Scarlet says. "If we need a Pirate King to do this, then we'll elect one."
"Very well," the Japanese Pirate Lord finally says, her sharp eyes darting around the room.
Seven of the 9 had voted, each for himself or herself, that only left Fox and Ang.

Captain Fox looked at the table... He was torn between a choice, He could vote for himself, and hope for the best, or assure a pirate king... He wanted to be a leader... he knew he was able to rule a small Island.. but an entire area of space? He shook his head, he finally made a choice, and he hoped that he didn't regret it in later life... However he turned to Scarlet and nodded his head. "Ladies first Captain Scarlet."

Ang still had to vote before a decision could be made, and all eyes turned to him. "I have been in this profession for a long time, I have met many pirates, captains or not, but I have never found one I would respect enough to name my king, until this moment. I vote for Captain Scarlet Morrison!"
The council chambers is thrown into an uproar, it had been years since there was a Pirate King, and this move was unexpected.
Scarlet sits back in her chair, and shakes her head, watching the chaos unfold around her as the pirates begin to fight amongst themselves, she takes a pistol out of her belt, and fires it into the air, which makes all the pirates stop and look at her. "Thank you."

Captain Fox stood up and drew his sword and bellowed at the top of his lungs. "If any of your so much as say another word against our new King, I will personally sent you to see Davy Jones... Yes, I am putting my support to our Pirate King." He then turned around to face the new King of Pirates. "My sword, both of them are at your command my lady." He gave a one knee bow to show respect, he may speak with an English accent, and still show some of the culture, but he was now finally showing his true colors, the time for being a hidden fox was over, it was time to show just how good of a hunter a Fox could be.

"Then what does our king say, chere?" The french pirate lord asks.
Scarlet sits back, not yet sure how to respond, but she grins. "Zolar is most likely expecting an easy fight, since he would believe that pirates aren't nearly as organized as his troops, I know his type. We will meet him under parlay," she says, and takes a dagger out of her pocket, and stabs it into a map of the carribean. "And there we will wage our final war, I want every able ship ready to go by dawn, it ends tomorrow."

Captain Fox nodded his head and began to leave with all the rest of the pirate Lords.
He was soon back at his small fleet, but he blinked. He was counting now three more frigates then before. He ran to the new comers and boarded the ship, he sought out the Captain he picked for the ship. "What is the meaning of this? You arrived late... when I was under the impression that you were to stay back on the Island guarding it."
"We were three ships overstaffed, so we sent the surplus where it would be needed." This statement surprised Captain Fox. He had a surplus of ships. He couldn't help but smile.
"That is very good news, get your three ships ready, we leave at dawn tomorrow."
He then moved to other ships of his to spread the word before retiring to his cabin aboard the Sea Fox.

Scarlet has returned to her ship already, glacing over at the ship that belongs to the French Pirate Lord, which is docked next to the Sinfull Lilith. The captain himself is coversing with a young woman on the deck, dressed all in black with a reddish-brown hair color that is tied into a bun, but has two white streaks in her bangs. "LeBeau, still up to your old tricks, huh?" she comments out loud, and moves away from the railing, heading towards her own cabin.

Captain Fox was sitting in his own cabin finishing up a final plan of attack, he didn't know who would be going to the Parley meeting, but he hoped that the terms of the talks would be upheld. He was also trying to understand just how he would be able apply assistance to protecting the waterways if they do indeed do what they were saying they would do.

Scarlet lies out a map of the carribean on a table in her cabin, trying to plan out the coming battles. This was her last chance, the pirates had to win this war in order to secure the future of piracy as a profession, and maybe give safe waters to the pirates of the world.
