The sea turned into a war zone. The Shrouded Ghost charged through the waves like a runaway train.Captain Dookilores pulled his flintlock pistol from his belt. He took aim at the shark's glowing red eye. BANG! The shot hit true, and the beast roared in pain, thrashing the water into foam."Fire the cannons!" Dookilores bellowed.The crew unleashed a wall of iron. Cannonballs ripped into the shark's pale hide, but the monster did not slow down. It slammed into the side of the ship, tossing pirates across the deck.The first mate fell right into the shark's open mouth. Dookilores grabbed his heavy blunderbuss. He jammed the wide barrel straight against the shark's nose and pulled the trigger. BLAM! A blast of buckshot forced the beast to drop the mate and back away.Water was filling the hull fast. Dookilores grabbed a lit cannonball and leaped off the railing. He landed right on the shark's slippery back. With a fierce shout, he shoved the burning bomb deep into its throat and dove into the dark water.BOOM!The sea shook. The ghostly fog vanished. The legendary beast was finally still.Later that day, the ship glided into Plunder Outpost. The crew piled the shark's glowing meat and rare chests onto the wooden dock.Dookilores marched straight to the Sovereign tent, his wet boots thudding loudly. The trader's eyes went wide at the sight of the Shrouded Ghost's remains."The myth is real!" the trader whispered in awe.He handed over a massive chest overflowing with gold coins and ancient dubloons. Dookilores took his prize and smiled. Every pirate at the outpost raised a mug of grog to the legendary crew.
