I was in my ship as usual, leading my crew to another island where treasures are hidden from everyone's eyes. But I'm not everyone, I'm the best and most dangerous pirate from all the sea.

The day was sunny and windy, the perfect weather to arrive at the Skulls Island. Older travelers usually talk about that land as haunted but... pfff, I'm not afraid of anything.

I was on the edge of my ship, looking around when an awkward movement caught me off guard. It seemed to be a fish. No... maybe a shark?

"Net!"

I command, looking at one of the members of my crew. He imediately gave me the net and I throw it in the misterious creature.

As I pull the net back up, my eyes go wide as I notice I caught a mermaid. A young one!

"Water! We need a big tank with water to this cutie here!"

I open a wide smile as I gently set the net with the mermaid in my ship's floor.

I help the beautiful and frightened mermaid to get free from the net and scoop her in my arms, still smiling. When one of my crew members came back, carrying a really big aquarium like tank with water inside, I set the mermaid there, watching her in awe, like if I was a little kid looking at a giant plushie.
