They bumped into a stuck pirate ship, and there they saw its captain, Captain Al Bertram.
He was a muscular, and tall man, with tied up long hair wearing a captain's hat and uniform.
"Ahoy!' He called loudly. "Me boat, the SS WARPATHFINDER, BE STUCK. Can ye help a sea captain like meself?"
"Can we give you a tow?"- Johnny called up to the captain.
"What?" Al Bertram frowned. “I already got ten toes, don’t need any more!” he took off his shoes, showing his feet.
"No," Ryan called. "Dad meant he wants to pull you out of where you're stuck!"
"Oh, right" Captain Al Bertram called.
Both merdad and merson pushed and pushed, and soon, the boat came out of where it was trapped.
"Arrrgh, me be ever so grateful." CAPTAIN AL BERTRAM SAID, happily. "Maybe I should come down, so I can get a better look at ye."
Ryan and Johnny stared up at the boat. This Captain Al Bertram seemed very strange for a pirate.
All the same, he seemed very friendly.
they could turn Captain Al Bertram into a merperson like them.
Or turn him into a fish, or any other sea creature.
