Hoist the Jolly Lucas

Hoist the Jolly Lucas is a story that reveals some unlikely alliances. For example, the Wilizy made a secret agreement with one of Zzyk's officials that saved many innocent aboriginals from being kidnapped and tortured; However, the Wilizy had to reveal the location of their home base. Really? They told him where they were living?

Here's another strange alliance: A BC government official kidnapped Will and Izzy and offered to sell them to Zzyk or any other interested parties. Later he decided to keep Izzy for himself because he wanted to use her to 'replenish his family,' which sounds downright nasty. Izzy confessed to him that she had sinned by living with the Wilizy but claimed that she didn't have a choice. That alliance had been forced on her. Does Izzy's confession mean that Will is on his own and he has to save himself?

The timing of the kidnapping couldn't have been worse. The Wilizy family was running an operation against a country that would be supplying Zzyk with advanced brain bands. The adults had to leave that operation to hunt for the kidnapper. That meant that Lucas would lead his scurvy band of pirates, aged 7 to10, in a battle against another 18th century sailing ship. Naturally, he hoisted the jolly Lucas before he attacked. That's what pirates do.
