After listening to him Kann took a deep breath.

"We're a pirate crew," she said.

"We sail the seas and explore the world. But we've come up against some obstacles that we can't overcome without knowledge.

We want a wise and knowledgeable person to  join our crew, and i think you are such person."

The Old man raised an eyebrow.

"Join your crew?" he said.

"I'm an old man. What use could I be to you?"

You have knowledge,"

Kann said, her voice intense.

"And that's exactly what we need. We can offer you protection and a chance to see the world. We need your help, old man. Will you join us?"

The wise man looked at her granddaughter  and then Kann and her friends.

"What are you thinking Grandpa? you always used to say that you need a chance, today is that chance." Chloe said...

his eyes glinted with amusement.

"You're a determined bunch,"

he said. "Alright, I'll join you. But on one condition."

Kann held her breath, waiting for the wise man's condition.

"I want to see the world," he said.

"I want to explore and learn new things. If you can promise me that, then I'll join your crew."

Kann felt a surge of relief wash over her.

They had found a wise man, and he had agreed to join their crew....

but after hearing his request she laughed...

And everyone else laughed along with it, Chloe and Charles looked at them in wonder...

"Old man, do you even know who we are?

let me tell you first, we are dark pirates and we are full of mystery.

And let me tell you what you can expect from us. Have you ever wondered what is under the sea? How does the ocean look from inside? No right? We'll go inside it in a few days, and I think Prince has built the ship to go there by now, and he is making this not for searching the sea or anything because he already knew about all this. it's just for fun."

Hearing this, both of their eyes lit up, especially the old man's, he always wanted to travel the world and wanted to know its secrets...

The wise man smiled. And said.

"The world is a dangerous place, and you're pirates. But if you're willing to take me on this journey, I'm willing to take the risk."

He had a strange laugh on his face that everyone could see and recognize because he was laughing like that when a person finds a big jackpot...

Kann nodded.

"We'll protect you," she said. "And we'll show you things you never thought possible."

The old man chuckled.

"I'm looking forward to it," he said.

Kann and her friends spent the rest of the day preparing their ship for the journey ahead. They stocked up on supplies and made sure everything was in order.

The old man watched them work, his eyes twinkling with amusement.

"You're a capable crew,"

he said. "But do you know where you're going?"

Kann shook her head. "To our base ," she said.

The wise man nodded. "That's the spirit," he said. "But let me offer you a word of advice. The world is full of danger and adventure, but it's also full of mystery. Don't be too quick to solve all the puzzles you come across. Sometimes, the journey is more important than the destination."

Kann listened intently to the wise man's words.

She knew he had a lifetime of experience, and she wanted to learn everything she could from him....

The next day, they set sail from Merchant Island, with the wise man on board.

Kann and her friends were excited for the journey ahead, but they were also nervous. They knew they were entering uncharted waters, and anything could happen....

As they sailed, the old man regaled them with stories of his travels.

He had seen things that most people could only dream of, and his knowledge of the world was extensive.

Kann listened intently to his stories, taking mental notes of everything he said.

She knew that the knowledge he possessed was valuable, and it could help them on their journey...

as the day is over, they sailed further and further from Merchant Island.

They encountered storms, and other dangers, but they faced them head-on....

As they sailed, Kann grew to respect and admire the wise man....

He was wise beyond his years, and his knowledge of the world was unmatched. He had become an invaluable member of their crew, and Kann couldn't imagine sailing without him....

Next day, as they were sailing through uncharted waters, the wise man approached Kann....

"We're nearing an island," he said.

"I've heard rumors of a treasure there. But be warned, the island is said to be cursed. Many have tried to find the treasure, but none have returned."
