01 / THE STORY
In 1837, the Pirate Captain, inexpert in the ways of pirates, leads a close-knit, rag-tag group of amateur pirates who are trying to make a name for themselves on the high seas. To prove himself and his crew, the Pirate Captain enters the Pirate of the Year competition, the winner being whoever can plunder the most. After several failed attempts to plunder mundane ships, they come across the ''HMS Beagle'' and capture its passenger Charles Darwin. Darwin recognises the crew's pet Polly as the Endling dodo, and recommends they enter it in the Scientist of the Year competition at the Royal Society of London for a valuable prize. Secretly, Darwin plans on stealing Polly himself with the help of his trained Common chimpanzee, Mr. Bobo, as to impress his love interest Queen Victoria.
