John Black & The Pirate King’s Treasure By Megan Graham
John Black was a pirate. He had heard stories of a great Pirate King’s treasure that no one ever found. John wanted to find the Pirate King’s treasure.
One day, John found the Pirate King’s secret map. It showed where the treasure was hidden. John needed to sail far from his home on the island of Tortuga.
John stole a new ship and called it the Scurvy Scourge.
John left Tortuga to find the treasure, but the pirate he stole the ship from chased him. There was a great sea battle, but the Scourge sunk the other boat and John got away.
The Scourge arrived at Treasure Island. The pirates found the Pirate King’s gold and jewels. John ordered that the treasure be shared by the pirates.
All the treasure was shared but John got more than anyone else. He was the captain, of course. The pirates had a big party on the beach because they were rich. It would be a long time before they needed to be pirates again.
