It's been a month since Castalia and Maria arrived on board the ship, and Captain Strong is all, "Hey, they're so nice to each other." He wants to know what's going on between Maria and Castalia. He's also worried about Captain Strong's son-in-law, who is a pirate hunter named Martin. Captain Strong says he's not a prince, but he is close enough to a prince that he needs a prince to keep him from being a pirate. He also says that the pirates don't have cucumbers on board, which is a big problem for Captain Strong because he has to poop all the food. He says he can't stand the idea of having a cucumber on board because he'd rather have a shark on board than a lion on board. The pirates have no cucumbers, so Captain Strong decides to read a book together and see if he likes it.
