The Prince handed over his work to the others and came back, since the Tree Pirates had already dug a lot, there was still a lot left. What did you think? That the coal mine is small?
According to the speed with which the work was being done, the mine would be empty in about one to two weeks...
100000 people were working 18 hours a day
6 hours for sleeping at night and 2 hours for sleeping during the day. Food was packed in boxes and transported to the mine so that time was not wasted.

There were few people left in the fort, Prince has called them and asked...
"Do you know about something called saltpeter? it's use as a preserver for food."
they all shook their heads....
"We may know about the outside world, but we are pirates, we have almost no knowledge of ordinary life..."
James said...
"Alright then...it's ok, go and find a men who knew almost everything about the world, if possible ask him to join us"
They nodded...
"Kann i think you should go and find...
James will keep an eye on this Island and others are already occupied with the mine.
and i am too going to the workshop for the submarine. it is in its final stages"
"Hmm...alright, do your best, i am very interested in this thing"

Kann stood at the bow of The blakk pearl, the wind whipping through her hair as she scanned the horizon....
The sun was setting, casting a warm orange glow over the ocean.
The ship was sailing towards Merchant Island, where Kann and her crew hoped to find a man with knowledge of the world....
Kann was now the vice captain of The Dark pirates, a pirate crew known for their Horrifying Activities.
She had set sail with her three closest friends, Lila, Saria, and Rhea, and a handful of other pirates in search of a wise man.
All three girls were the same girls who had become the personal maids of the prince...
kann was their good friend and there were very few people in the fort, so kann took them with her, due to which all three of them felt a lot of excitement and happiness.
They believed that a man with knowledge of the world held the key to unlocking the secrets of it, and they were determined to find such man.
...
As the ship approached the island, Kann called her crew to the deck.
"Alright, everyone listen up,"
she said, her voice loud and clear.
"We're here to find a wise man, a man with knowledge of the world.
We don't know where to find a person like this. Keep your eyes and ears open.
We'll split up into groups and search the island. We'll meet back here at sundown."
The crew nodded in agreement and dispersed to search the island....
Kann, Lila, Saria, and Rhea went off on their own, determined to find a wise man.
They searched the island from top to bottom, asking anyone they came across if they knew anything about a man with immense knowledge.
But every lead they followed turned out to be a dead end...
"I am the smartest man "
a random person said....
"Then tell me about the secret of dark pirates "
kann asked, she wants to test him.
she knew that a knowledgeable person will never believe that they are using magic.
instead he will think and came to same conclusion as the navy.
"Ahh...it's dark magic, they worship devil. don't go near them or you will be sold to devil"
kann let out a long breath after hearing his answer....
"I am the vice captain of the dark pirates...."
before she could say anything else
he ran away in fear....
The day wore on, and the sun began to set. The crew gathered back at the ship, exhausted and disheartened.
"We've searched the entire island," Kann said, her voice heavy with disappointment.
"We haven't found any trace of a wise men with."
"What are we going to do?" Lila asked, her voice tinged with worry.
"We can't give up now," Kann said, her determination returning.
"We'll continue the search tomorrow. We'll split up again and cover more ground. We'll find him, I know we will."
The crew nodded in agreement, but Kann could see the doubt in their eyes.
She knew that they were tired and discouraged, but she couldn't let them give up. They had come too far to turn back now.
'I will find such person....'
And thinking this, she again went to find a person who has a vast Store of knowledge.
After all knowledge is the key to conquer the world
