The days until Skullduggery Island becomes available to everyone are quickly ticking down. To help celebrate, I’ve been posting a little bit about famous real pirates in history. Today, we’ll look at one of the most fearsome pirates of all, the notorious Captain Blackbeard.
Born Edward Teach, Blackbeard originally came from Bristol, England. He was a successful and well-known pirate who operated throughout the West Indes and Americas in the early 1700s. He was only active as a pirate for just three years, but in that time he terrorized the waters of the Caribbean and became much-feared.
His first and most famous ship was named the Queen Anne’s Revenge, and this was a name he gave the ship after capturing it from a French crew. He equipped it with 40 guns, making it a dangerous and formidable ship. I bet he could have even taken on Captain Crawfish’s warship in Skullduggery Island. As it is, Blackbeard defeated many large merchant ships and racked up a lot of plunder in just a few short months while active on the high seas.
Blackbeard was of course well known for his ragged and scary appearance, most notably his long black beard. It is said that many sailors who saw him became so afraid that they refused to fight, making things very easy for Blackbeard and his pirate crew.
Blackbeard was finally killed in a huge battle in 1718 while commanding a new ship named the Adventure. While boarding a ship captained by the pirate hunter Lt. Maynard, Blackbeard and his men were surprised by several sailors who had hidden below decks. In the ensuing battle, Blackbeard was shot several times. His head was cut off and hung from the sails of the ship to serve as a warning to other pirates.

If I were that girl, I would stay away from lunatics like you!

If your gonna say that to my friends,just say it to me!I’m the one who ignored you and not them!
psophia:We don’t hate because you’re our friend,right?Maybe there are other people who hates you but that’s not us.
GG:If you are you gonna call us stupid and dumb,fine!Then leave us alone!We should living peacefully right now!If “best friend” means bad to you,then you are really deserved to be ignored!
Sometimes they ignore me for a long long time but I really don’t care since what I’m saying is meaningless and probably nothing.And that’s what you’re saying right now!Meaningless and nothing!You should be the one who’s apologizing for being so sensitive!If you still keep this problem going then you’re out of the club!And that’s my decision,Grape!
Literally GG.
Do not tell my friends that they are dumb idiots because look who’s talking.
GG, you re just a drama queen, with no sympathy.
Does the term ” friend” mean anything to you?
I guess not. You just want attention.
I can’t believe I thought you were my friend.
MD and CD are right.Why don’t YOU apologize!
Boom! Do the math girl.
Oh sorry. My mistake.
” YOUR HIGHNESS!”
I’ve been your friend for a long time, GG. I remember you introducing me to Cute Daisy and Mighty Drummer. As much as I hate to admit, our friendship no longer exists. Goodbye to the GG I knew, and hello to this attention-craving stranger.
seems like YOU only care about yourself, not others. FINE! I agree now with CD. Why do you hate them? Tell me! Why???? OK then, now I don’t like you. Who would want such a lousy friend?? Me?? NO!
