The next morning, the captain of the pirate ship, the Alidivento, asks to be taken to his next-door neighbor, the pirate balthazar, who lives on the opposite side of the island. The captain tells him that he is risking his life for the sake of his friend, but the young man says that he has lied to Balthazar about his pregnancy, and he is sorry that he will make the captain uncomfortable. The young man tells the captain that he does not like him when he is "naughty" and that he always sticks out from one side or the other. He says that his feet are too small for him, and that his face is too long. He also says that the captain's period was one week earlier than he expected, which makes his face more painful.

The pirates take no care of the people on board the ship, he says, and they will take care of them after they have been cleaned up. He calls the captain a "priso ner" , and says he is not a pirate, but a "bad on board" . He claims that the pirates are too dangerous to stay on board, as his brother is too wounded to keep on. He wants to know what is wrong with his brother, and asks if the captain has come to avoid the talk of becoming an admiral. He replies that his brother has not come because he wants to avoid it, but because he is trying to offer his brother an honest living. He explains that the navy is safe, and
