Once there lived a rich captain named Rosewalt the Third who, with his 12 crewmen, lived in The Everland.
Captain Rosewalt’s team, gathered by the Captain himself, were all of the best shark hunters in The Everland and they sailed across the sea in a ship named Saint Monica. The objective of them sailing across the sea was to kill sharks and obtain their fins for them to sell to get money.
One day, Rosewalt was hanging out at a bar located in The Everland and suddenly an old man grabbed hold of him and told him a story about a very enormous mythical shark named The Evil Maria living in the forbidden sea. Its body was black and its belly as white as a pearl.
Rosewalt then asked the old man how he knew about The Evil Maria, The old man told him that The Evil Maria sank his whole ship with one big attack and killed all of his crewmen, leaving him behind.
Rosewalt decided to sail to the forbidden sea and hunt for The Evil Maria. After a few days sailing across the sea, they managed to arrive safely at the forbidden sea. They saw a lot of sharks, but they did not see The Evil Maria that the old man was talking about.
They helped each other to set a small vessel to catch a few sharks while waiting for Maria to appear.
Suddenly, one of the crew saw an enormous shark appeared from under the water and charging towards Saint Monica. Maria attacked Saint Monica until it sank to the bottom of the sea.
Rosewalt and his crew were working together to row towards an unnamed island located somewhere near the forbidden sea.
When they arrived at the island, there was only a cave, few coconut trees and most of the island covered in sand. There were food supplies at the island, but they would not last for too long. There were no living things for them to hunt down on the island.
They went into the cave and found a lot of human remains. They stayed inside the cave for a few months but as time flies, their food and resources are getting low to survive.
Sadly, two of Rosewalt's crewman died from a mysterious disease and some of them started to fight with each other distressed by their friend’s death. Captain Rosewalt managed to keep all of them calm while struggling to survive.
A few days after Rosewalt's two crewman died, they saw a few cargo ships pass by. They send a smoke signal to notify those ships and managed to make contact with one of the ships.
The captain of the ship noticed the signal and sent his crew to check out. Rosewalt and his remaining crew were brought back to the cargo ship. Rosewalt told the cargo ship captain about what had happened to Rosewalt’s ship while they send Rosewalt and his crew back to The Everland.
Rosewalt and his crew arrived safely at The Everland. Rosewalt was called for investigation about the ship and Rosewalt was charged by the council of The Everland for being so selfish by putting his crewman in danger and caused the destruction of Saint Monica.
Rosewalt decided to accept the charges. He was sentenced to the prison for 6 months.
