The pirates began to wake up.
“that was one hell of a trip.”
“Ay you can say that again.” The two then looked at each other and screamed in unison.
Kidd hands went to his now smooth head and confirmed the hair there was gone was while the rest of his his body was a fuzzy, itchy mess. He looked down at his new body. He couldn’t even see his new cock under his father’s gut!
Klark on the other had loved the feel of actually having hair on his head where it should be. He was sad though to find his proud beard was gone. A least his body was more fit now. He felt like he did back when he first set sail to become a pirate.
Kidd ran up to John but Tenoch stopped him. “You were serious you little rat! Change us back!” Tenoch smiled. “So you admit defeat already? Shame, I thought you’d make a fine captain.”
“What?!” Kidd turned to Tenoch with his father’s iconic scowl,
“Don’t ya remember you stupid boy, you said you could be a better Captain than I could, now prove it!” Klark remarked.
Kidd quickly calmed down. He wasn’t comfortable in his father’s body, but he needed to prove a point.
“Fine, I’ll stay like.. this (he patted his new gut) and prove wrong old man.”
“Haha who you calling old? Klark laughed while running his fingers through his new hair.”
“And would ya look at this.”
He grabbed his new penis. “Skinnier than mine but I do suppose it gets the job done.”
Kidd was furious but quickly remembered he now had something his father did appreciate. “Hey “son” I still get to keep your beard. What was it you always told me ya sea dog? ‘A man’s worth rests in his beard” ?”
Klark reached up and grabbed his naked chin. “Hmmf” he turned around and went down to his new cabin on the lower deck. Kidd smiled, a absentmindedly puffed out his new belly. He certainly had won this round.
While he left to get dressed Tenoch and John started talking.
“So I guess those two will just be silently trying to one-up each other for the rest of the trip.” John said
“Most likely” Tenoch replied.
“Now, Tenoch, can you please explain to me what these piercings are for?”
John gestured to the little gold stud on his nipple.
“Ahh those. Well you see they act as links between the bodies of the swapped. So I can actually trade parts of our bodies at anytime without needing to perform another ritual.
“Wait, why would you even need to swap parts back? I thought you said my body was “perfect” ?”
Tenoch nervously laughed and scratched his blonde stubble. “Haha well... it’s actually in case you were to die while in my body on our Journey. I still need my bodies sperm to keep the royal bloodline pure. If you were to die, I’d simply swap my body back and lure someone else back to my city.”
John was shocked. “Why...why are you telling all this?”
Tenoch sat down next to John. “Because I now trust you John Strider, and I’m willing to give you your body back when we get to the mainland, but on one condition!”
John was ecstatic. “I’ll do Anything!”
“You’ll have to help me find someone else to swap with. Our duo will need to become a trio. Me, you, and the poor soul who’s will be inhabiting my body. I am now comfortable with my original form but I want to travel the world and experience from the perspective of people like you! Whoever travels with us will certainly get their body back when the journey is over. I hope you have someone on mind.”
John began to ponder “someone else for you to swap with Hmm...”
