In a stone cave illuminated by glowing star mushrooms, neon-green vines hanging from stalactites, and neon-blue algae in a small lake, on a small island stood an old, wooden chest.
Despite a large number of light sources, it was semi-dark in the cave. A few tens of meters from the front side of the chest was a passage. It was just a stone tunnel that turned after a few meters and it was impossible to see what was going on.
Suddenly the sound of a shot rang out. The sound of a falling stone object echoed through the cave. A light appeared around the corner and began to slowly get closer.
-Yo-ho-ho Yo-ho-ho. A pirate's life for me.
An echo bounced off the walls of the cave. There was the sound of another pair of feet walking at a breakneck pace.
Two pairs of steps matched in the passage around the corner and went at the same pace. The first man who came around the corner had long dark brown hair and a short goatee-shaped beard. In addition, he also wears a faded black triangular hat.
-Mr. Gibbs, why are you taking so long? The man asked who was the first to come around the corner.
Following the first man, Mr. Gibbs replied,
- Barbosa was chased by Jack. Followed our boys for four days while we were on the island. He kept his eyes on us. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have managed to escape.
-Mr. Gibbs, it could have been worse.
At this phrase, Captain Jack's close friend smiled from ear to ear. But the captain's next words made his right eye twitch a little.
- So you managed to steal a feather, or do I have to trade you for this feather?
- I stole, I stole. hold on
With that, Mr. Gibbs threw back his waistcoat and pulled a rectangular box from an inside pocket.
- But I must warn you that if you damage the pen, a terrible curse will fall on you, Jack.
-Yes Yes Yes. I know, I know. Now give it to me.
Taking the small box from Mr. Gibbs' hands, Jack opened it and saw a writing quill cast in gold, the pitch-black feather of an unknown bird. Beautiful patterns were engraved on the golden handle. In the middle of the carving, as if living energy flowed, giving the pen a mystical charm and also constantly providing red ink for writing.
-Captain, you haven't opened the chest yet. Maybe it's not the same as those 11. Said the faithful assistant.
-No. Twelve chests in total. And we were unlucky only 10 ... well 9 times.
- A pen and...what else? Ah, that picture book. So. It was something. A stupid smile appeared on the lips of Mr. Gibbs
Meanwhile, Jack began to write something on the lock. Looking more closely, this word was "open". As soon as he finished writing, there was a click. The famous captain hastily opened the chest and took out its contents.
It was a book. A rather bulky book covered with leather and in the middle with a large diamond that shimmered in different colors.
- "The scroll of truth" is finally mine. The sea legend whispered.
- But this is a book! Gibbs said in surprise.
- Of course, this is a book, dear, what did you think, everything is written in the catalog???
- Yes... no. Not at all. Not for a single moment.
- You almost disappointed me, Mr. Gibbs.
- It's an honor, captain! I'm glad I didn't disappoint!
-500 silver.
-???
- It was "almost". But it's okay with that. We have more important things to do. I'll give you the silver when we're done with this.
Mr. Gibbs' shoulders slumped, though his expression didn't change at all. After a second he exhaled.

After joking with his assistant, all of Jack's attention turned to the book.
Opening it, the first page read: "The Book of Truth."
- They said it was a scroll.
- Many things were said.
On the next page, there was some text and some ticks or crosses next to the text.
Reading everything that was written there, Jack realized that on this page there was something written about a curse, some kind of race with a winner in the form of a person, although they did not find information about who the other contestants were or what track it was on, something about a curse, the ratio of men to women, or some epoch there so that it does not mean.
Captain Jack and his subject unanimously supported the proposal to ignore this page, although they changed the cross to a tick in the tape they thought they understood. This tape sounded like this:
[Recommended settings]
The next page was more interesting. Although there was little to understand, they knew the words themselves.
- Mr. Gibbs, what do you think about the unification of all continents?
-What???
- Here, under the world line, there is a "One Piece" option.
- What about the islands? Mr. Gibbs asked
- Keep in mind these are not continents, don't ask such stupid questions.
After ticking this item, they went to the next one:
-The type of planet...donut of course.
- Why a donut, wouldn't it be safer to put a circle? Do I flatten the ground as a last resort?
- Donut, because it's a donut. Don't disrespect Mr. Gibbs with a donut.
Then there was a section with the name of the application.
- Do you think we have enough bleach on the ship?
- It won't end soon.
-Okay, then let's choose this, this miraculous, marvel something something and this Japanese cheese called "Naruto".
- Why do you think that "Naruto" is cheese?
- He sounds like one.
- And what about these first two?
- Don't you want to see magic? And I also. So let it be.
Having noted a few more points, they moved to the next page, where they noted some more strange points. After that, they wanted to just turn the page, but it didn't work. The pirates realized that they had to flip through the entire book page by page and write something in it.
After looking at the options, they chose several options, one of which was about a mine, the second sounded like some ancient word, and something else strange with all capital letters.
On the next page, they removed the check mark from the "Justice League" because the name itself screamed that this league would only cause problems. Of course, some strange points were not overlooked.
Flipping through the book and flipping, Jack finally reached the end.
Under the owner line, he wrote his name and under the strange transportation item, he chose teleportation. Just as he was about to close, he stopped, squinted his eyes, and wrote something else. As soon as he closed the book, a portal appeared that dragged him and Mr. Gibbs into the unknown.
