- Yeah! He was the most famous pirate in his time. My dad told me all about him once.

- Then he loaded it all up onto his ship... and sailed away into the sunset.
- And then, the armada, it took them a couple of weeks, but then they caught up with Willy.
- And then there was a whole big war between the armada and Willy's ship, the Inferno.
