Chapter 9-1

At sea aboard the Wishbone with Il Pollo del Mare. I had expected a rough, uncultured individual and met instead a courtly, educated bird who, it turns out, has even seen me perform! Imagine! Here he is, an outlaw with a price on his head, who has snuck into port in disguise to catch my performances! Such admiration is deeply flattering. I confessed to following the breathless accounts of his exploits in the press with great interest. It turns out, he came to rule the waves by accident, really. By any other turn of fate, he still be third galley mate to the Wishbone, instead of its captain.
