Everyone was obsessed with the Golden Turnip and, of course, whose story was that?

Princess Floridian’s.

She thought of staying behind, but the idea of being left alone on the Diabolical Islands with only Blind Pew for company was more frightening than going. She had seen him wandering around in the moonlight doing Naughty Things that convinced her he wasn’t blind at all.

She made plans to ensure that if they got out to sea and the island sank, which is what she suspected Merlin was planning, she would be able to get away.

‘We need to gather up as many weapons as we can,’ said Rampart once they had secured the Sargasso raft with ropes to stop it floating away.

‘And make sails so we can travel where we want to,’ said one of the twenty-seven pirate captains.

The pirate captains were more excited about setting sail than anyone else. It had been a very long time since any of them had sailed the stormy seas, under the skull and crossbones flag, in search of a bit of pillaging or buried treasure.

Fifty-four trees were cut down and made into masts and every single bedsheet on the island was sewn together to make fifty-four sails. Each captain had two masts and two sails so there would be no bickering over who would be in charge. Someone did point out that because no one was in charge, it was very unlikely they would agree to sail in the same direction. But in all the excitement of getting ready, no one took any notice, except Princess Floridian, and by then everyone was ignoring every single word she said. Of course she went through the warnings again:

It will end in tears.

There will be tears before bedtime.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
