Deception Unmasked

Back in his camp, Rex, realizing the pirates' true strength, hatches a new plan. He informs Captain Bellamy that one of the pirates attempted to bribe him, hoping to ignite a war between the two groups. Bellamy, fueled by anger and suspicion, agrees to Rex's proposal of an immediate attack on the pirates. Rex secretly requests Bellamy's ship, claiming it will allow him to launch a surprise attack from behind.

Meanwhile, the pirates, alerted by Thomas about the missing keys, prepare for a potential attack. They strategize and position themselves, anticipating the Vikings' arrival. Bellamy and his men, eager to strike first, invade the seemingly deserted pirate camp. However, the pirates, hidden in strategic positions, launch a devastating ambush. A fierce battle erupts, with both sides utilizing swords, axes, and guns. While the pirates and Vikings clash, Rex observes the chaos from afar. He waits for the perfect moment to strike, then orders his Buccaneers to attack both parties. Caught off guard, the Vikings and pirates are forced to retreat to their ships, bewildered by this unexpected betrayal.

Silver and Bellamy, facing Rex's fury, are forced to confront him. Rex, wielding his guns, reveals his true identity as a Buccaneer captain. He proudly displays their golden flag, emblazoned with a one-eyed skull and crossed daggers. This revelation shatters the fragile peace on Rona Island. Realizing their mistake in trusting Rex, Silver and Bellamy curse him as they flee with their remaining men. The Buccaneers claim Rona Island as their own, taking control of the pirates' treasure house. They become the new inhabitants of the island, forever altering its destiny.
