The evil Pirate Twins were about to fire Captain Dave from a cannon when they received news that their old pirate friends Anne Bonny and Mary Read were also on the island. Mary and Anne invited the evil Pirate twins to accompany them on the first all-girl pirate ship. Whiplash Wendy and Cutlass Karen both decided to stay on Captain Dave's ship. Anne and Mary parted ways with Cutlass Karen and Whiplash Wendy, but not until the four of them each took a turn firing Captain Dave out of the cannon for old time's sake.

PIRATE TRIVIA:
WOMEN PIRATES
Anne Bonny and Mary Read were two well-known female pirates who sailed together. They were reputed to have been the only crew members who put up a fight when their pirate ship was taken by a privateer sloop. One of them (most likely Anne) is said to have fired her gun into the hold where the men were hiding, screaming at them to come up and "fight like men."
When the captain asked to see Bonny again prior to his execution, her final words to him were "Had you fought like a man, you’d need not have been hang’d like a dog."
