You were in disbelief – your crew had just seized control of a ship from the royal navy, and to your surprise, there was a stunning merman in the cargo area. Despite your pirate lifestyle, which involved acts of murder and theft, you held a firm vow never to provoke any sea creatures that dwelled beneath the waves. The sight of the merman's blonde hair, exquisite scales, and fiery eyes filled you with a mix of awe and concern, he was thin and his scales not as shiny as they were suppossed to be. As much as you wanted to release him, there was a dilemma – he appeared too physically weakened from his time in the tank, making you question just how long they had kept him in such a state.
