Episode 3: Betrayal

Full Episode Name: Betrayal, Nox and the Knot Commanders Reveal

The episode starts with the crew continuing to row to the Grim Island. Once there, their boat was confiscated by two marines that weren't the shapes knives in the drawer. Calek then lead the crew to the Sea Queens Shipwrights Guild, where they meet Lock, an old shipwright that offers to build a ship for the crew, given that they could wipe out a bandit camp that has been terrorizing the guild. He then sends them to the "The Confident Rats" Tavern to find his apprentices. At the Confident Rats Tavern, the crew encounter the twins but they also encounter their Petty Marine Officer brother, Lancer and his men. A fight breaks out and Roost and Fost are thrown through a stone wall, into the street with Calek soon to follow, being thrown further than the former two. The three pirates would kill Lancers men but spare Lancer at the request of his sisters. He would then reveal that his Captain, Captain Tyrant is the highest ranked marine in the West Blue and that he was in possession of the Ancient Zoan Fruit Model: Tyrannosaurus Rex. After he spilled his guts, Lancer would retreat and leave the island. The crew would then make a stop at The Cheap Hunt Boutique and meet Mike & Rita, the shop owners, Mike running the Medical Wing and Rita running the Clothing Wing. Fost would try to flirt with Rita and she would kick him in the face. Meanwhile, Levos would converse with Mike about buying medical supplies. Roost would then try to intimidate Mike into giving them a better deal but he would fail and Mike would get angry. Luckily, Levos smoothed things over and got a bunch of supplies. The crew would then make their way towards the bandit camp. However, on the way, Calek would lead the crew to a creepy mansion in the woods. They would knock on the door and a shady butler would answer and let the crew in. They are lead into a throne room and meet Captain Nox for the first time. Nox would reveal that Calek was a member of the Noose Pirates and the crew would feel betrayed by the man they once trusted, especially Levos. Nox would degrade Calek for being weak and Roost, though angry would defend him against the Noose Pirates Captain. Nox would reveal his devil fruit that seems to be Rope based to get the frustrated crewmates attention and give them a mission: To help his commanders (His Knots) around the Mapped area of the West Blue. Roost would accept the task and the crew would leave. Calek and Roost would have a brief conflict before Calek would reveal his plan to get a pirate crew together and kill Captain Nox. As the episode comes to an end, Calek would denounce the Noose Pirates and give his full loyalty to Namar Roost. A few after scenes that occurred are that Fost would reveal what he saw on the beach of the Grave Cay to Roost, who would be shocked but forgiving and Levos would threaten Calek for his treachery.
