Captain Edgarrr Matey: Right enough, my boy.
1:32
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Prepare to set sail
1:36

1:38

1:44
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Yes, that is how the day started.
1:46
Redge: But Jonathan, something exciting is afoot.
1:50
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Me navigator, Rose the Raven
1:53
Rose the Raven: Hi.
1:55
Rose the Raven: She found a brand new treasure map half buried in the sand on our last island excursion.
2:02
Redge: She's been hard at work translating the Corvid Code.
2:08
Jonathan: Ooh, what's the Corvid Code?
2:11
Rose the Raven: It's secret language spoken by ancient crows and ravens that lived near the Fantasy.
2:17
Rose the Raven: Old seafarer legends say
2:20
Redge: that sounded like a series of clicks and rattles and caws known only to the most worthy of pirates.
2:27
Redge: Ooh sorry for interrupting.
2:29
Redge: I'm just so excited.
2:32
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Aye, Mehearty, so am I
2:36
Rose the Raven: And you're right! And I found a written translation of the Corvid code hidden in the new map.
2:43
Redge: Can you believe it, Jonathan?
2:45
Redge: Undiscovered treasure.
2:47
Redge: Can we go with them to find it?
2:49
Redge: Oh please, Jonathan, please, please, please
2:53
Jonathan: Well, I always love adventure.
2:56
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Huzzah! Wonderful, Mehearties, wonderful.
3:01
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Let's raise the anchor and hoist the sails.
3:05
Redge: Aye aye, Captain!
3:13
Rose the Raven: So I've translated the markings on the map through careful study and observations.
3:19
Redge: Wow! Does that mean you know how to speak the COVID code now?
3:24
Rose the Raven: I can! It's a fascinating language.
3:26
Rose the Raven: Many birds have used it to share the secret location of nests and exchange shiny trinkets.
3:33
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Oh, I love shiny trinkets.
3:36
Rose the Raven: Me too.
3:37
Redge: Me three!
3:38
Jonathan: Me four.
3:39
Rose the Raven: Ah yeah.
3:40
Rose the Raven: Shiny stuff is cool.
3:42
Rose the Raven: Oh, which reminds me, Captain Matey, I know where we're going, but you're not going to believe it.
3:49
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Oh what does the map foretell?
3:52
Rose the Raven: After referencing other maps in my collection, getting briefly distracted by practicing my Corvid Code, and then focusing again, I learned that this map leads to the Legume Lagoon.
4:05
Captain Edgarrr Matey: No
4:07
Rose the Raven: Yes.
4:08
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Did you hear that, Mehearties?
4:11
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Legume Lagoon!
4:14
Jonathan: Uh yes, but we don't know what it means.
4:18
Rose the Raven: Legends say Legume Lagoon is a small secret place off the shore of the fantasea where an ancient piece of treasure is buried.
4:28
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Aye, the most desired piece of treasure by avian pirates sailing the high seas.
4:35
Rose the Raven: The Golden Peanut
4:37
Jonathan: Ooh, that sounds fancy.
4:39
Jonathan: What does it do?
4:41
Rose the Raven: No one is sure, because no one has ever found it before.
4:46
Captain Edgarrr Matey: We thought it was just the stuff of stories, but here we are with proof that the golden peanut exists.
4:55
Redge: Oh what do you think it does?
5:00
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Maybe it's just really shiny.
5:04
Rose the Raven: Or maybe it has a tiny map in its shell that will lead us to more treasure.
5:08
Redge: Or it holds the secret recipe for the best peanut butter in the world.
5:16
Captain Edgarrr Matey: All wonderful ideas, Mehearties.
5:18
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Wonderful in
5:26
Redge: What was that?
5:28
Jonathan: Are the waves getting more wavy?
5:31
Redge: Uh the ship does seem to be rocking back and forth with more gusto.
5:44
Rose the Raven: Oh did I forget to mention the giant squid?
5:48
Redge: Giant squid!
5:50
Rose the Raven: Well, in order to pass through this part of the fantasea and make it to the lagoon, the Corvid Code states that we have to speak with the giant squid and ask for a push.
6:00
Redge: For a push?
6:03
Rose the Raven: That's what it says.
6:23
Redge: Um, excuse me, uh Mr.
6:25
Redge: Giant Squid, uh sir.
6:28
Giant Squid: Yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me.
6:33
Redge: Mr.
6:33
Redge: Giant Squid, sir, could you perhaps put our ship down?
6:38
Giant Squid: Huh?
6:38
Giant Squid: Oh Little Pirates
6:43
Rose the Raven: Hi.
6:44
Jonathan: Uh yeah, yep.
6:46
Jonathan: Uh little pirates who are having a bit of a hard time uh balancing.
6:51
Giant Squid: Whoa.
6:52
Giant Squid: What?
6:53
Giant Squid: Oh, uh oops.
6:55
Giant Squid: Uh I'll put you down.
6:57
Giant Squid: Uh what are you little pirates doing all the way out here?
7:04
Rose the Raven: We are looking for Legume Lagoon.
7:06
Giant Squid: The Lagoon?
7:07
Giant Squid: Well, you can't get all the way there unless you meet a Giant Squid and say the password to convince him to give you a push.
7:15
Redge: Oh, um well, aren't you a giant squid?
7:18
Giant Squid: Huh?
7:19
Giant Squid: Oh wait, I am! Very clever little pirates.
7:25
Giant Squid: Uh hold on, uh let me get into character.
7:27
Giant Squid: Who on this Fantasea dare seek Legume Lagoon?
7:37
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Uh it be me, uh Captain Edgar Matey, the most fearsome crow captain on the fantasea.
7:45
Giant Squid: Hello, uh wait a minute And what business do you have here?
7:52
Redge: We're searching for the legendary Golden Peanut.

8:05
Giant Squid: How will you show me your bravery, courage, and pirate spirit?
8:12
Rose the Raven: With the password.
8:13
Giant Squid: Yeah, you got it?
8:15
Giant Squid: Wait, wait, I mean.
8:16
Giant Squid: Ah so you have discovered the password known only to the most worthy of pirates?
8:25
Rose the Raven: The password is Nedlog.
8:29
Redge: Ned log?
8:30
Rose the Raven: It's golden but backwards.
8:32
Redge: Oh
8:34
Giant Squid: Ah so you are worthy indeed.
8:37
Giant Squid: I'm so proud of you little pirates.
8:40
Giant Squid: I'll go ahead and toss you now if you're ready.
8:43
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Yerrr uh toss us?
8:45
Rose the Raven: He's going to toss us all the way to the lagoon.
8:48
Rose the Raven: First we'll fly a few miles to the west over the wandering whale pod.
8:51
Rose the Raven: Then we'll take a sharp turn and glide through the great kelp forest.
8:55
Rose the Raven: And then bounce on the mega massive jellyfish that live in Mega Massive Jellyfish Village.
9:00
Giant Squid: Oh, exactly that.
9:02
Giant Squid: So, uh you ready?

Rose the Raven: And the Great Kelp Forest.
9:31
Rose the Raven: And now Mega Massive Jellyfish Village! And we're here!
9:50
Redge: That was stupendous!
9:54
Jonathan: It was something all right.
9:55
Rose the Raven: An incredibly efficient way to travel.
9:58
Redge: I can't wait any longer.
9:59
Redge: Let's go find the golden peanut.
10:01
Redge: Are you ready, Captain?
10:03
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Oh aye, my boy.
10:05
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Let your old captain just uh get his sea legs uh for just a moment.
10:12
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Oh.
10:18
Jonathan: Wow, this place is beautiful.
10:21
Redge: So many plants I've never seen.
10:25
Rose the Raven: So many spots we haven't explored.
10:28
Captain Edgarrr Matey: And water is blue as the sky, just like the legends say.
10:35
Redge: Wait, Captain Matey, Jonathan, Rose, look! There are already creatures on this island.
10:42
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Ah, so there are.
10:45
Jonathan: They look like squirrels.
10:48
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Not just any old squirrels.
10:51
Captain Edgarrr Matey: They be pirates like us.
10:55
Redge: Another pirate crew?
10:57
Redge: Do you think they're searching for the golden peanut?
11:00
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Uh likely so.
11:03
Redge: Well, this just got even more exciting.
11:06
Jonathan: Do you know them, Captain Matey?
11:08
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Aye, I know them.
11:10
Captain Edgarrr Matey: That's be Captain Greytail and his first mate Pip Squeak over there.
11:15
Captain Edgarrr Matey: And their legendary crew, fearsome pirates they be.
11:21
Jonathan: F Fearsome?
11:22
Jonathan: Aye.
11:24
Jonathan: If they be looking for the golden peanut, you can be sure they'll find it.
11:30
Redge: Wait, let's hide behind these palm trees and listen.
11:33
Redge: Maybe we'll hear some pirate secrets.
11:38
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Oh like an old sneak around, eh?
11:41
Captain Edgarrr Matey: I love it.
11:45
Redge: Exactly like that.
11:47
Captain Edgarrr Matey: You know, one time, Rose'll remember, Me crew and I were searching for the eye patch of an old captain named Bronzebeak, and we also did a sneak around.
11:56
Captain Edgarrr Matey: You see,
11:57
Jonathan: Redge, Captain, they're talking.
12:00
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Oh right
12:02
Captain Graytail: Nah, Pipsqueak.
12:03
Captain Graytail: How's the digging coming along?
12:08
Pipsqueak: Well, Captain Sir, we've been digging for hours, but no luck.
12:12
Pipsqueak: Kinda like when we stored up the acorns last winter Ah yes.
12:18
Captain Graytail: The crew did have a hard time finding that stash again.
12:23
Pipsqueak: Right oh, Captain Sir.
12:24
Pipsqueak: I even told them to make a map.
12:27
Captain Graytail: So we are useless without a map.
12:30
Captain Graytail: But I know it's here somewhere.
12:33
Captain Graytail: The golden peanut! After all these years sailing the seas and climbing the trees, we've finally sniffed out its trail.
12:46
Pipsqueak: Yes, Captain Sir, it has to be here.
12:48
Pipsqueak: The lighthouse keeper Pinky Promised.
12:50
Captain Graytail: And everyone knows there's nothing more sacred to a squirrel pirate than a pinky promise.
12:58
Pipsqueak: Absolutely, Captain, sir.
13:00
Captain Graytail: Ah, never fear.
13:01
Captain Graytail: We'll find it, Pip.
13:03
Captain Graytail: You wait and see.
13:05
Captain Graytail: And we will be the strongest and most glorious pirates to sail the fantasea once we have it in our grasp.
13:17
Pipsqueak: Right oh
13:18
Captain Graytail: all other pirates will retreat when they see our sails flying high, for we will be the one and only crew to have the golden peanut ha
13:35
Pipsqueak: Yes But Captain, sir,
13:38
Captain Graytail: uh what's that, Pip?
13:40
Pipsqueak: We what uh what does the golden peanut do?
13:47
Jonathan: Well uh I mean it's uh Well of course it uh I don't know.
13:56
Jonathan: But we will know as soon as we find it.
14:00
Redge: They want to keep the golden peanut all to themselves.
14:03
Redge: How rude!
14:05
Captain Edgarrr Matey: We're the ones with the map.
14:06
Captain Edgarrr Matey: They can't find it without us.
14:08
Jonathan: They seem pretty set on it, though.
14:10
Redge: Gasp! What if they steal the map?
14:13
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Oh you're right.
14:14
Captain Edgarrr Matey: We just need to find the treasure first.
14:17
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Rose, lead the way.
14:19
Rose the Raven: Aye aye, Captain.
14:21
Rose the Raven: It looks like we just need to head north on this trail until it curves around these trees here, and then we have to cross them.
14:29
Redge: Rose, you did it! You found the golden peanut! Or at least, uh it must be buried under the sand here, right?
14:39
Jonathan: It does look like there are some markings in the stone.
14:43
Rose the Raven: Yes, that's the Corvid code!
14:46
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Yrrrr That must be it then! X marks the spot.
14:52
Rose the Raven: Well, it does say, More treasure for thee awaits when the golden peanut is in our grasp.
15:00
Rose the Raven: I think.
15:02
Redge: More treasure?
15:05
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Yo ho! What are you waiting for?
15:08
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Let's start digging
15:30
Redge: wonderful
15:33
Rose the Raven: Shiny
15:35
Captain Edgarrr Matey: I can't believe we finally found it The golden peanut
15:41
Rose the Raven: Still can't tell what it does.
15:43
Captain Edgarrr Matey: But isn't it beautiful?
15:46
Captain Graytail: Well, well, well what have we here?
15:49
Captain Graytail: A crew of crows come to take my treasure.
15:54
Redge: Oh no, they found us!
15:57
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Aye And do me eyes deceive me?
16:00
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Or is that a crew of squirrels here to take my treasure?
16:05
Captain Graytail: Hand over the golden peanut, Captain Matey.
16:08
Captain Graytail: We found this lagoon first.
16:12
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Are you joking?
16:13
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Make Crew and I found the map and the golden peanut first.
16:18
Captain Edgarrr Matey: It's ours.
16:20
Pipsqueak: Oh I knew we should have had a map.
16:22
Rose the Raven: Um everyone?
16:24
Captain Graytail: Well there's only one way to settle this then, isn't there?
16:30
Redge: Uh oh
16:32
Jonathan: this doesn't sound good.
16:33
Rose the Raven: Uh you guys?
16:35
Captain Edgarrr Matey: You're right, ain't ya?
16:37
Captain Edgarrr Matey: We're pirates after all.
16:39
Captain Edgarrr Matey: There's only one way to settle this score.
16:43
Rose the Raven: I uh I think we have to
16:46
Captain Graytail: duel
16:47
Rose the Raven: What?
16:48
Rose the Raven: No.
16:49
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Draw your sword and face me like a true pirate captain.
16:54
Captain Graytail: En guard.
16:55
Captain Graytail: Ha ha you try it.
17:07
Rose the Raven: Redge, Jonathan, we have to stop them.
17:10
Rose the Raven: I know how to make the golden peanut work.
17:13
Jonathan: All right, Rose, we will help, but how do we stop this?
17:17
Captain Graytail: I'm the best pirate in the land.
17:20
Captain Edgarrr Matey: No, I'm the best pirate in the land.
17:23
Captain Graytail: No me!
17:24
Captain Edgarrr Matey: No me!
17:28
Redge: Wait! I have an idea.
17:30
Redge: Lift me up so I'm taller, Jonathan.
17:33
Redge: I have to shout.
17:35
Jonathan: You got it.
17:37
Redge: Here we go.
17:38
Redge: Oi! Captain Greytail! Captain Matey! I demand a parlay!
17:48
Captain Graytail: Huh?
17:49
Captain Edgarrr Matey: What?
17:51
Redge: That's right.
17:52
Redge: I demand a parlay.
17:54
Redge: In Pirate Code, that means we have to talk this out instead of fight.
17:59
Redge: You have to be honorable and follow the pirate code.
18:04
Captain Graytail: I suppose the lad's right.
18:07
Captain Graytail: We have no choice but to parlay.
18:13
Captain Edgarrr Matey: I suppose so.
18:15
Rose the Raven: I think it's the only way to understand how the golden peanut works.
18:20
Captain Graytail: What do you mean?
18:22
Rose the Raven: Well, the Corvid code that's on the stone says More treasure for thee awaits when the golden peanut
18:29
Captain Edgarrr Matey: is in our grasp.
18:31
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Yes, you shared this.
18:32
Rose the Raven: But there's more.
18:34
Rose the Raven: I didn't notice it before.
18:35
Rose the Raven: It roughly translates to More Treasure for Thee awaits when the golden peanut is in our grasp, a wondrous bounty will bloom when together we clasp.
18:49
Jonathan: So both crews have to hold it?
18:52
Rose the Raven: I think so.
18:53
Redge: We have to work together.
18:55
Redge: The opposite of a duel.
18:57
Captain Graytail: Work together?
18:59
Captain Graytail: Well I never
19:03
Redge: We've come all this way to see the treasure.
19:05
Redge: Aren't you a little bit curious?
19:09
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Reginald, you're right.
19:11
Captain Edgarrr Matey: I'd be willing to try it if my fellow captain is willing.
19:17
Captain Graytail: I suppose.
19:18
Captain Graytail: It can't hurt.
19:20
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Aye, that's the spirit.
19:21
Captain Edgarrr Matey: All right, we're ready.
19:23
Rose the Raven: Captain Greytail, you take this side, and Captain Matey, you take this side.
19:30
Redge: It's glowing!
19:32
Jonathan: It's working
19:36
Captain Graytail: It's broken apart.
19:39
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Oh no! And the peanut has fallen to the ground.
19:43
Captain Graytail: Were you just tricking us all along?
19:46
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Don't be foolish, my boy.
19:49
Rose the Raven: Wait, look! It planted itself into the ground and
19:54
Redge: there are sprouts sprouting
19:59
Jonathan: And they're all so
20:02
All: shiny.
20:04
Rose the Raven: Working together to split the golden peanut is growing an entire field of golden peanuts.
20:12
Pipsqueak: More than the eyes can see
20:14
Redge: and more than enough bounty to go around.
20:18
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Aye.
20:19
Captain Edgarrr Matey: It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
20:23
Captain Graytail: It is so beautiful.
20:28
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Rose, you're a true genius, my friend.
20:32
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Thank you for being the best navigator a captain could ask for, and for always showing us the way.
20:40
Rose the Raven: Aye aye, Captain.
20:42
Redge: What a beautiful shining field of treasures growing right before our eyes.
20:48
Jonathan: What should we do while we wait for them to grow?
20:51
Captain Graytail: An excellent question.
20:53
Captain Edgarrr Matey: Aye, well, mehearties, there is one other pirate law that all pirates must follow after a successful hunt for treasure.
21:04
Redge: What's that, Captain Matey?
21:06
Captain Edgarrr Matey: You are required by pirate law to enjoy a little song and dance.
21:15
