a few days later, the group arrived at the port of New Redmond, and sold the Rotten Monkey and Defiance, and got rid of the newest crew, getting a handsome bounty from the british garrison for the dutch militants. they accepted without question, since James had been wearing a noble's outfit, to help disguise his rather piratey demeanor. the Black Pearl, now known as the Beauty, was repaired, and rearmed. James took his pistol to a well known gunsmith, to have it fine-tuned even more than it already was. it's range was doubled, thanks to a specially designed, spiral barrel. shots would go twice as far as a regular military pistol, and nearly as far as a musket shot. it was also improved in terms of accuracy. the spiral barrel also increased the damage a single shot would do, since the bullet would be rotating as it went through the opponent. he then had his sword sharpened by a professional swordsmith, and had the glass of his spyglass polished, to improve the clarity of what he was looking at. after that, he went to the tavern and asked for 50 barrels of rum, to keep the crew happy during the grim journey ahead. he vowed to himself he'd try to return his friendly personality. he was becoming too cruel. he met his friends in the shipyard, where Yuke and Adeline were having plans made for repairs and improvements made to their ships...
