Synopsis


Britain has a peace treaty with North Africa preventing pirates from the area raiding their ships, but on the 21st of October 1805, Szalja Bouzid and a crew of Barbary pirates would use the impending Battle of Trafalgar as a distraction to raid British ships hopefully unnoticed.

While travelling amongst with the British on their way to Cape Trafalgar they experience an unexpected hull breach and are forced to take refuge on a nearby island, while on the island they meet a woman with jet-black skin and hair, she claims to be a witch, she tips them off to a cave just north-east of their location. The cave contains three chests full of Spanish gold, guarded by three small men, each with eyes larger than the last. Szalja must distract the men in order to take the money, using a golden spoon given to him by the witch, she would let him keep all of the gold that he could hold on the condition that he give her the one silver coin in the largest chest.

Of course, Szalja is a pirate, he never returns to the witch’s island. Upon rubbing the silver coin he finds that he can summon one of the small men on command. He uses his newly acquired friends to search the British ships while they are busy, to find out which one holds the most valuable loot, he acquires a target, he discovers that the Captain of that ship is holding a very valuable necklace, an equally valuable ring and a particularly important looking sword. By the time Szalja finds a way to steal these items, the witch had already begun to put an end to his scheme, she had presently made an deal with the ship’s Captain, telling him that Szalja had lots of Spanish gold and one Silver coin, that if he could return the silver coin, he is free to keep all the gold that he can find.
Szalja obliterates the Captain and his entire crew with the help of his own, after stealing the necklace, the ring and the Captains ornamental sword, he returns to the witch’s island, and ends her life with her late-friend, the Captain’s cutlass.
