On the "good" ship the Apocalypse a man swore. His captain strolled over and took the spyglass from his hands.
"Let me see that Mr. Starkey," he growled, pressing it to his good eye then immediately taking it down again, "Damnation! Why is that bloody wench still standing?!"
"W'well, y'see..." his firstmate stammered.
"Spit it out, ya barnaclebrained scallawag!"
"I m-missed her, Cap'n...b'but I got 'er firstmate, sir! Th-that's good, ain't it?"
"Aye, that it is," Bluebeard said, stroking his grey-blue beard thoughtfully, "but it also means she knows we're after her."
"Oh. W'what's yer orders, sir?"
"Set a strait course fer the Sparrow. We attack at sunhigh tomorrow!"
"Aye aye, Cap'n!" The firstmate pulled off a sharp salute and ran off to spread the word to the crew.

"Okay, Kura-chan," I said to the medic, "do you have any idea who might have shot that bullet?"
"Not so much of an idea as a sliver of a dubloon is worth," Sakura (Sumiko) shrugged, "Far as I know, all our enemies've been sent to Davy Jones's locker."
"What about that one man? What's-his-name, Blueberry or somethin'?"
"Hm, I dunno. He practically disappeared off the face o' the earth. Haven't seen him since Vash put out his eye."
"Well, tell the crew to keep on their toes an' ta get in some sword time wi' Azsharae or Taka. I don' want another Genevive...or Scarlette."
"Aye, Jaqueline. I'll see to it that they know."
Sakura gave my shoulder a gentle squeeze then went to warn the crew and check on her patient.
