...Blood and destruction shall be so in use And dreadful objects so familiar That mothers shall but smile when they behold Their infants quarter'd with the hands of war; All pity choked with custom of fell deeds: And Caesar's spirit, ranging for revenge, With Ate by his side come hot from hell, Shall in these confines with a monarch's voice Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war! -William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Act 3 Scene 1
Their ambush on the Treasure Fleet has begun, but the Brethren of the Coast have a few tricks up their sleeve... with dark magic, ingenuity, and steely nerves the Caliban and Venganza lead the pirate armada on a bold chase, with literal tons of silver and a drop of demon's blood as their prize.
