1 st January
I am now back in Sri Lanka and have reported back to the king. He is so pleased the kraken is dead and has
again promised to be allied with China forever. He also gave me a man-o-war he captured from the
Spanish. I have a feeling this is going to be a successful voyage.
But sometimes I still think that something bad might happen…. but maybe I am thinking too much!
4th February
It has only been a few days since destroying the Kraken and a pirate has appeared. But, luckily his ship is no
match for our enormous bronze cannons. The pirate leader has surrendered. I spared the crew of the pirate
ship and gave them an island to rule. But I wasn’t so nice to the pirate leader. I used a cat-o-nine-tails to
spank him and I am taking him back to the Emperor. Another crisis is over. This voyage is now over too,
until next time.
