Storyline
Untitled Stage
Legend has it that a revered pirate named Barbaros once stole the world’s treasure and hid it on a mysterious island. Though no one knows of its exact location, stories about the untold riches that lay deeply hidden have been passed down through the ages, driving pirates from all walks of life to pursue the alluring prizes.
One of these treasure seekers, an apprentice pirate named Zack, discovers upon a mysterious talking skull -- the skull of Barbaros himself! Barbaros promises to reveal the key to the island, but only if Zack helps to lift the curse he is under.
