THE PIRATES

WIHWA ISLAND ON THE AMROK RIVER, 1388

We must request rewards and give to our boys, sir

- Joong had a baby and... - Listen

We'll be the vanguard

Riches and honor are soon ours. No matter what, trust me

See? We're all set

At dawn...

We will turn back

Yes, sir!

- To overthrow Goryeo... - What?

We'll attack General CHOE Yeong

ls the vanguard chief ready?

Yes, sir! At your service, sir!

- Isn't this treason? - I, Yl Seong-gye...

This retreat will be the start of a great history

- With you men I'll... - Excuse me!

- Quiet! - It's okay

We're all in this together

Go on and speak

Why aren't we fighting when we're almost there?

You haven't heard?

We'll retreat because first...

It's hard to cross the river in the rain

Okay

Second

The rainy season will rust our arrows

Okay

Third

The supply ship may not come and we'd be stuck

Okay, sir

Fourth

It's not courteous for a small country to attack a big one

What?

What courtesy in war, sir?

- Then, we can bow and fight! - Quiet!

It's no place for you to talk!

It doesn't make sense!

We can't fight 'cause of rain, flood, and bad manners?

So, being a traitor is courteous?

Go back, overthrow the king, and land big posts!

Isn't that it'!

Chief MO!

You disappoint me!

Steal the country to be rich? I'd rather be a bandit!

Sir! Let's go!

Joong! Let's go!

You fool!

Sin

Don't you want to see your baby?

Don't make me pull out my sword

We're all brothers, sir

Joong! No!

Joong! Wake up!

The sword...

has no courtesy!

Big trouble!

Hurry!

What a waste of a life

- Kill him! - Yes, sir!

Oh, God! I'm dying!

Damn seasickness...

I'm Captain Soma of the pirates

Where are the Buddha statues?

They're on another ship

They're under the cabin floor!

Buddha have mercy

Yeo-wol

If you let them live, they'll be trouble later

Remember

Take the statues!

Yes, sir!

- Nice! - Buddha have mercy!

The fools even sold off girls!

Don't be scared

We'll send you home

sis?

How dare you call the Chief Mate that!

Take me with you!

My father sold me off!

Pirates are at risk to die any day

Same for slaves!

I'll cook, clean, and do anything!

Sounds like she'll earn her keep

Buddha is sinking!

Stupid! Why'd you drop it!

You should'vejumped in!

She'll come up!

- She did it! - Hurray! Chief Mate!

THREE YEARS LATER

Black seas, red seas, white seas...

The seas are not all blue, sir

So, how was sailing around from sea to sea?

Buddha reached the state of nirvana while travelling

After coming back here to the Yellow Sea...

I came to a realization, too

Seas or metals...

Yellow is the best!

We found some Japs pirating in our turf

You had to be there!

Stop! Aren't you sick of that story?

Then what?

We agreed to a leaders' duel to avoid further bloodshed

So, we met up by Tsushima Island

Let's just eat!

Yeo-wol went out to face this huge, burly guy

Wait. What was his name?

Makulaki

Right! Makulaki!

Bu! who's Yeo-wol?

She beat him with one blow! Then, 500 men attacked at once!

5,000 men!

Was it that many?

Well, there were over 500

Anyway!

We fought off 5,000 men for two weeks 'til the sea turned blood red!

Damn! So what?

We fight like hell, but only the Captain eats meat

All we get is diarrhea from the damn fish!

Don't talk about shit while eating

I heard Captain Soma bought 12 houses

When do we get paid?

That's enough

Like it or not, we're brothers

Why don't you attack him?

You know we all want it

Overthrow him and become the captain!

She's talking like a pirate already!

This is what I think

Who asked you?

A true pirate should...

Damn!

I told you to find another job!

What pirate gets seasick!

Damn seasickness

The order is out to get rid of pirates

If I don't bring back your heads, they'll have mine!

Of course you should bring in results

Would 7 pirate heads do, sir?

Damn bastard!

He'll have us killed?

They're useless anyway

Wait!

Shall we go look?

- Clamp! - Yes, sir!

- Sod! - Yes, sir!

Crap Sack!

Here, sir!

- Big Eyes! - Yes, sir!

Sea Horse!

Me?

Damn! I served a rotten captain like that!

And I ain't fii for the sea

Tie them up!

Captain! Let go!

Captain!

You're deserting your brothers?

The streets are filled with fools like them!

What brothers?

Chief Mate! Help! Let go!

This is not the way of a pirate!

You dare try to ieach me?

Take them, sir

Captain Soma?

I want to take her, too

Still, she's the Chief Mate

How about the girl behind her instead?

Tie up the girl behind her!

Let gm!

Back off! I'm a pirate!

Sis! Chief Mate! Help!

Stop this

Give the rest some liquor and meat!

Let gm!

They'll forget after a couple drinks and some laughs.

Only the strong will...

You bitch!

Captain Soma!

Drop your swords!

So ungrateful, worse than swine

I'll overthrow you

Yes!

Loser! In your dreams!

Considering our time together...

If you surrender, I'll let you live

There are only two ends for a pirate

To become fish food...

Or...

The sea is cold

Throw him a blanket

JOSEON

Joseon!

It is not only a beautiful name...

but it comes from your history

So, it shall be

Also, I am bestowing a new Royal Seal

I command the new country to flourish

Furthermore...

serve me by offering up 500 maids and 200 eunuchs

Yes, Your Gracious Majesty!

With this, Joseon will be founded!

Do you think everything is fine back home?

What if the king changes again?

Why you!

Just worried, that's all

Think about it, sir

They bestowed posts on restless, rich men

But with no country name or the Royal Seal...

They'll think nothing's changed with a new country

You can't rule a country afraid of complaints

- What's that sound? - We're not sure, sir!

There are pirates here!

Get ready to fight!

- Prepare for battle! - Yes, sir!

Fire your arrows!

It's a baby whale, sir

How dare it cross this envoy ship's path!

Afier it!

Afier it!

Kill it!

Fire the cannons!

Fire the cannons!

There! There!

The baby whale is out!

Cannons! Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

The Royal Seal!

There, sir!

Joseon...

The Royal Seal...

Crazy Tiger!

Where are you, sir!

How insane is he i0 be called, 'Crazy Tiger'?

Crazy Tiger!

I'm exhausted

Now I'm getting land sickness?

Still, it's better than the sea

Damn!

What's this!

Help me!

He is Chief Crazy Tiger!

So, you want to be a bandit?

Introduce yourself

My name is Chul-bong, sir

After dozens of battles and decades as a pirate...

Though I was the backbone of pirates who ruled the seas!

I have my reasons to turn into a bandit

So, use me valuably for I'm a highly capable man

That's it, sir

Okay, fine

Why did such a capable man...

turn his back on the sea?

What?

Because I hate eating fish

I can't stand the smell

- I think I'm a meat person - Fishy smell!

Were you kicked out?

Kicked out?

No way, sir!

Yeah, you were

No, sir! That's ridiculous!

How dare you!

Tell the truth!

Yes, sir

Okay. I'll tell the truth

I had riches and fame and lacked nothing as a pirate

But life was just no fun!

I felt this hollow emptiness inside

I couldn't even eat

I wondered why, then realized one day!

A man should be a bandit!

That's it!

A man belongs in the mountains!

That's enough!

You look a little dumb...

but since you've got nowhere to go, I'll take you in

As 30th in rank, do your job well

Chief! I'm the 30th?

What about all my experience?

Hey, Rookie! Go cook

Young fool! How dare you!

Why you!

What in the world happened?

My friend...

First, have a seat

You fool!

A whale ate the Royal Seal?

You dare mock me!

Behead him at once!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty...

That's what will happen

You're right

A whale ate the Royal Seal! It makes no sense, right?

How could you let this happen?

Still, I brought back the name for our country

What if I lost both of them?

Since you recommended me, you'll be at fault, too

We'll just die together

I should've died at sea!

Listen carefully

Beware of public sentiment

If people find out about this strange incident...

They'll think fate is against this new kingdom

So, everything I'm about to say“.

Is for Joseon's good

There was no whale

You were attacked by pirates

Your Majesty!

Put me to death!

What happened to you?

Your Majesty!

While bringing the country's new name and Royal Seal back...

I was attacked by Goryeo pirates!

They stole the Royal Seal, sir!

The Royal Seal!

Your Majesty...

And yet...

Let gm!

You came back alive!

I deserve to die, sir!

But I had to bring back the country's name, sir

We defended it from the ferocious rebels, sir!

He said to call this country "'Joseon"?

Yes, sir

But the Royal Seal...

- Kill me now, sir! - Kill us!

They must be eradicated, sir!

Goryeo bandits and pirates must be rooted out!

Quiet!

Silent!

Proclaim our new country as Joseon!

Send out troops to root out bandits and pirates!

And find the Royal Seal!

Yes, Your Majesty

As soon as...

Two weeks!

You have two weeks

Understood?

Yes, sir!

I got a great tip

A merchant band is carrying goods with just 20 guards

When Monk gives the signal...

Buddha have mercy

Rookie!

Yes!

That's you!

Cut the rope (o his signal

Then, I will...

Chief?

I fought countless battles. I should be on the front lines,

Not back here cutting a rope!

Just do your job right

It's the Rookie's job to cut it

I said use me valuably Damn

The blessing is coming

The blessing is here

Get ready, sir!

Buddha's blessing

Make way!

Not good!

Cut it?

Royal troops!

Cut it now?

Lots of them!

Don't cut it!

Now?

Yes!

Run away!

Son of a bitch!

Run!

What's this?

Charge! Come out! Kill them!

Goryeo rebels! After them!

After them!

We could all get killed!

Scatter out and meet back at the fort!

Scatter out!

Chief!

He's the chief!

Get him!

Wait for me, Chief!

Let's go together!

Get the chief!

Chief!

Go! Get lost!

Chief!

Don't call me, 'Chief'!

Chief! Wait up!

Let's see...

Not many made it back

At this rate, we'll bump into Yl Seong-gye!

I told you not to trust the source

I signaled you to turn back! What were you thinking?

Why'd we take in that fool!

Better luck next time

We can't succeed every time

Succeeding once would be nice!

We never do! All we eat is dang grass!

Or catch wild boar!

It's all right

We know the royal troops

They'll pretend to chase and run home at sundown

Right, Monk?

Like hell!

Chief! Look!

Seize them!

The sun must not be down

Everyone calm down

Like hell!

Don't the fools sleep?

Chief?

Where'd he go?

Run!

Why'd I come here?

Is he still alive'!

Do you want to live?

One of your men tried to harm the king?

Too bad ii was before he became king

I just have to catch the whale?

Gut it and bring the Royal Seal

Then, you can have anything in Joseon

But if you fail...

It'll be hell for you

I've already been to hell, sir

You'll command the naval troops

Enjoy and rest up before heading out early tomorrow

You said it was urgent

Can he be trusted?

I don't trust him,

but I do trust his ambition.

Are you Captain Yeo-wol?

What brings you to the rough seas, sir?

A whale!

It's over 20 meters long and has...

that flag stuck on its back

Bring it to me

I'll do the gutting

I'm not a fisherman I don't catch whales

They're angels of life and death sent by the Sea God

The Sea God is close with us

You are free to refuse

Then, I'll follow orders to root out pirates

You think it'll be easy to arrest us?

Probably not

But I'll find your families and slaughter them

I'll burn down every village that ever helped you

I'll execute them all!

Hundreds, thousands, until I catch you

That bastard!

Why are you doing (his?

Our ships are flat and strong against the wind, but not fast

Even if we find the whale, it'll be hard to chase it

But your ship is fast enough to hunt it down

That's the reason

I'll give you 10 days

That one-eyed fool looks like he'll eat us alive!

Attack him!

Stay out of this!

Why! I'm her right-hand-mate!

What will you do?

They're royal troops. We should do what they ask

How'll we catch a whale'?

Let's go to Central Port

That hurts!

Let's go, Monk

- People will think I starve you - But it's meat!

What's he doing in there?

Let's go! Hurry!

That wanted picture of you looks way better

Stop talking and let's move

Damn thieves!

Don't stop.

Keep rubbing That's it

That's new! I like it!

Captain JANG?

It's been years since I became a bandit

I heard the news

You come across soldiers by chance?

By chance?

You dare sell us off?

Really! It was by chance! Don't you trust me?

I have a brilliant tip to get rich

I'll give it to you for 30 rolls of silk

My patience is running out

20 rolls!

10 rolls!

I'll give it to you for free!

A whale!

It swallowed a big ship full of the Emperor's gold

A fish swallowed it?

That's right!

The whale swallowed it whole!

A fish swallowed an entire ship?

The Royal Seal, too!

What?

Buddha have mercy!

A girl with some nerve

Dare interrupt men doing business?

What men'!

All I see are two mutts...

And an old mouse

Such a shame

A beauty with a foul tongue

Who am I talking to?

Let's introduce ourselves.

I'm the infamous Crazy Tiger

I don't know about a tiger, but you're crazy, all right

Go pick fruits to eat

Stop smiling or I'll cut your face in half!

You a bandit?

Must be hard eating off grass

Buddha have mercy We're outnumbered

This could be yours

I heard new cannons and weapons are brought in from Europe and Arabia

Why?

You want to catch a whale?

A whale swallowed the Royal Seal sent by (he Emperor of Ming

How blasphemous!

Can you get them?

There's nothing I can't get!

I heard the new country is in total chaos

There's a rumor the king will get rid of Buddhism

Buddha is worth crap these days

You see this as Buddha?

It's just gold in my eyes

Look-

It's not the king who feeds you, but the sea

And we own the sea

Yes, Captain

I want them tomorrow

It was like 2 or 3 years ago.

We came face to face with 120 naval ships at open sea!

The rabbit is burning

Did we run? No way!

We pirates never run away!

We fought 5,000 men for 2 weeks 'til the sea turned blood red!

That was my 17th pirate battle

The meat is burning!

Damn it!

What!

It's not burned. See?

It's just slightly burned

Who's there?

Who else?

It's me!

You've all struggled enough after following me out

I couldn't even keep my promise to have liquor on the table

He promised that?

So, I was thinking...

Well...

I get it, Chief

I knew this day would come

I was preparing for this, too

Preparing for what?

You want us to go our separate ways

No

We've been together way too long, you and me

Sit down and listen

Take care, Chief

Let's go

What's with you men?

Where can we apply to become pirates?

There is a ship filled with treasures

Wait! Hold on

What about it?

The Ming Emperor sent a ship filled with jewels

So what?

Must be a big ship, right?

- Of course! H's from the Emperor! - Right

But that ship...

How can I explain this?

How frustrating!

Tell us now!

A fish swallowed the ship

The hell!

You've been a monk long enough!

Don't you know when to watch your mouth!

How dare you interrupt the Chief with such crap?

A fish swallowed the ship?

Whole?

Whole?

Yeah right!

I'm dying!

Why you!

Go on, Chief

Tell us

What happened to the ship filled with treasure?

The ship...

was swallowed by a fish

The rabbit is all burned!

Why didn't you train him!

I'm surrounded by idiots! I don't believe this!

You're dead! How can you let it burn!

Hold on!

Did they say it was a whale?

A whale'?

If it wrecked a ship, H's gotta be

Right!

Yl Seong-gye is going crazy 'cause a whale ate the Royal Seal

So, you're saying we'll get rich if we just catch the whale?

We could retire for life!

A whale, huh?

Do we catch it with a net?

No way!

Nets won't work at all.

Why?

H's gigantic!

How big can it be?

Just a fish

A fish?

This is how big it is?

Look!

A whale's eye is this big!

You liar!

I'm serious! Its eye is this big!

Then, how big are its teeth?

It doesn't have teeth It eats with its whiskers!

What's so funny?

Cut the nonsense and tell rne how to catch it

There's only one way, sir

When it comes up to surface to take a breath...

you fire cannons at it!

A fish that breathes outside the water?

It's true!

It comes up, breathes out, and makes a big splash

Right out of iis nose onto its back!

Water gushes up!

The nose is on its back?

Yes!

A monk has his limits!

Next, he'll say a whale even breastfeeds its baby!

That's true!

It even eats seaweed to help with breastfeeding!

I'll kill him!

I give up being a monk!

I don't believe this! How can I explain it?

You country folks don't understand

But the sea...

It's deep and wide and filled with all sorts of things!

Some of 'em even have lights on the head!

If thousands flash light from their heads...

the sea suddenly lights up!

Light! Dark! Light! Dark!

There's also flying fish!

If thousands of 'em with wings...

jump up from the water, they flap their wings! Swoosh!

Thousands fly right at you!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

What a sight!

Hope they're doing well

That just made me hungry

What?

Enough with the jokes

So, we can catch it with a cannon?

No way! You need at least a dozen!

Let's go get cannons!

This one!

It's a portable cannon for easy use

Bang!

And that one!

It's the king of all weapons

It's called Ju-hwa

It can strike a cone from 2,000 steps away!

That one! Yes!

It's called Fog-bomb

If you pop it, thick fog forms and you won't be able to see

Looks like you have a good eye

It came from Europe

Thousands of miles away

It's called a Grenade Bottle

This is as dangerous as it gets

Step back

Load them up

You scared me!

Country thief asking (o die?

Get out of our way!

Are you a pirate?

Must be hard catching fish

sin

Where is the wagon?

Crazy Tiger...

- Scatter, then meet up! - Yes, sir!

Out of the way!

How do you work this?

- You light it! Move! - Light?

Out of my way!

Out of my way!

Stop! Get them!

That way!

Choon! Run! Faster!

Hello, Lady. I'm...

Crazy Tiger!

Throw her off!

It's heavy!

Iwin!

Look out!

Be careful!

Chief!

I'll have your head!

Calm down, my Lady!

How can I! I almost died 'cause of you!

Why you!

What?

Behind you

Fire!

Are you dead?

Ow! That stings!

Why don't we surrender and hope for the best?

Beg for our lives?

A pirate never...

What the!

Buddha have mercy

JANG Saiyung...

So foolish

If you get hit in the head, you'll croak!

How dare you say that?

It's the truth!

Are you all ready?

Yes, sir!

Let's go! To the sea!

Fill the cannons by half to put in harpoons

Reduce the hole by two-thirds

We'll avoid the currents and sail out to sea

Raise the sail!

Though we lived as bandits...

we weren't cowardly robbers like Yl Seong-gye

He took the country by force

But he'll have to pay to get the Royal Seal from us!

In that sea...

...is a whale that'll make us rich.

Let's go out to sea!

Let's gm!

Aren't you coming?

How can we catch a whale in this!

- Let's just go! - Stop hitting me!

Your Majesty!

Since we have declared Joseon our new country...

How about moving the capital?

No one builds a house on a grave, sir

How can the king's palace stand on Goryeds grave?

He is right, sir

This place is lurking with Goryeo subjects

We should build a new capital for Joseon and move, sir

It is only right to do so

But I won't go to the new capital without the Royal Seal!

You have 5 days left

Damn! It didn't work

I thought it would buy us more time

- We just have to trust in MO - Right

Because of roofing out Goryeo rebels...

the country reeks with blood!

And we're also catching kids to offer as maids and eunuchs

Maybe we don't have to catch the whale to...

One of my men used to talk a lot like you

I had to pull my sword on him

Keep talking

No, sir

I'll finish loading up the ships with water and supplies

Everything's ready, sir

We've loaded up over 300 cannons, sir

At last!

I'll get a taste of the sea!

In two days, you'll have the fastest ship on earth, sir

We sail out tomorrow

If we wait longer, Yeo-wol will live another day

Yes, sir

Yecrwoh...

The sea did not desert me!

Chief?

Chief?

Don't drink that

Drinking sea water will kill you!

What the!

It's a whale!

Where?

That's not a whale! it's a shark!

- A great white shark! - Catch it!

Help me!

Bullseye!

- We caught a whale! - It's not a whale!

Yeo-wol is scouring the cost?

Yes, Captain

It's only a matter of time before we catch her

Yeo-wol!

Try running to the ends of the earth!

I have the world's fastest ship...

Did something just pass us?

It can't be...

What's that'?

That's so fast!

Cannon! Hurry!

Where?

- The shell fell out! - Wait!

Hurry!

Choon! Light it up now!

Don'! move!

Hold still!

Light it now!

It's lit!

Prepare for battle!

Load the cannons!

Reload!

WhWd you miss!

Buddha!

Fire!

Fire!

You said this was the fastest ship

Who? Me?

It's grown weak

Get ready to catch it!

The whale must've gone to heaven.

Move back!

Look!

- We caught it! - We caught a whale!

We caught a whale!

No! It's a shark!

A whale's tail isn't like this!

Wait! It's still alive!

It's no! a whale?

How many times did I tell you! it's a shark!

If a whale was a thick snake...

a shark would be just a worm!

Why you little!

Fear makes it seem bigger

At first, it seemed like a house

But now I see it's just the size of two cows

Fix up the boat to sail out again

What?

- The ship is crushed! - How do we catch the whale now?

Aim it carefully!

Let's go catch the whale!

We're stealing that naval ship?

You can't sail a ship that big by yourself

Why steal it when you can't move it?

- I quit. Let me go - Get lost!

No! You're steering the ship

I can't steer it alone

Get the boys to do it

Who'd listen to the last one in the band?

They always beat me up

Just lei me go

Why you!

Chul-bong ranks second from now on

But Chief!

Well...

If you need me that much, Chief...

I'll try my best

Pick your men

You

And you!

Son of a bitch! Young fool always hit me!

How dare you!

Chief!

Listen to him

Listen

Swimming at sea is different from a lake

If you try to beat the waves, you'll die!

Ride 'em smoothly like a snake over rocks

That's it

Hold! Breathe out!

Just remember

You fight it, you're dead!

At sea, they used to call me 'Shark'

Listen to me at sea no matter what!

You! Snakehead!

Burn all the other ships with Chief so they can't follow. Got it?

Make sure you cooperate and get things done right!

I'll get the rest of the clan ready to sail out

Let's live to laugh about this!

I forgot one important thing

Buddha have mercy

There's always oil next to the torch

All ihe ships have 'em there

Pour the oil on the other ships

Then, come back to our ship and shoot fiery arrows at 'em!

Got it

Listen carefully! I'm serious here!

You're all bad, but you're the worst listener!

Remember and do as I say!

We're ready to sail out, sir

Board all soldiers on the ship!

Everyone on the ship!

We're in trouble! The troops are coming!

Naval troops are coming!

What now, Sub-Chief?

I don't believe this!

Chief has to come for us to go! Where is he?

Commander!

There! Look!

We're under attack!

Chief is coming!

Get ready to sail!

Hurry!

Monk! Drop the sails!

You! Cut the rope!

Hurry!

Cut it?

Who's there!

Hurry!

Don't come up! Go back!

Chief!

Get on! Hurry!

Move!

JANG Sa-jung!

MO Heung-gap!

I never thought this day would come!

Chief! Hurry!

You're still alive?

You left your post for this?

I'll send you to hell!

Shut up!

So, did you go out and change the world?

I have no interest in that!

Chief!

Get on now!

Hurry!

Chief!

Grab the rope!

Pull! Pull!

Damn!

I'll be back for your head!

How many ships left?

A few small ones, sir

Send them all out to catch the whale!

The whale isn't the problem!

With all the naval ships wrecked like that...

How can we expect to live?

Listen carefully

We'll say pirates who stole the Royal Seal attacked us, loo

Though we lost our ships, we fought off (he pirates

And recovered the Royal Seal. Understood?

We may find the Seal, but what pirates, sir?

We'll make them up

This is a pirate village!

Treat them like pirates and kill them all!

Mommy!

Flats with seaweed in between, The whale must be roaming here

Whale!

The one with the flag stuck on it!

The flag is really on there!

- Get the harpoons! - Yes, sir!

We're ready!

Captain? The order?

Why are you hesitating?

It's a baby whale

How old does ii look'!

Huh?

I must be going blind

Can't you see? It's a newborn!

Everyone's tired

We can't exchange a whale's life for people's lives

Captain!

Should I give the order?

No

Aim ai it

Ready to fire!

Who are those bastards!

What's on your mind?

Out in this vast ocean...

a man can stretch without limits

Looks like the sea suits us

The ship's big, so no one's seasick

Hey!

Raise the sail!

What's that'?

What you're holding! Stupid!

- If he's a pirate, I'm Buddha! - No! Tie it there!

Let's learn quickly and kill him!

How can he be second in rank?

- Buddha have mercy - What's the racket'!

Chief! Wait!

Just a second

I don't get it

There are many whales in this vast sea

How will you catch the one who ate the Royal Seal?

We'll keep catching whales until we get the right one

Yeah! You said it's huge!

- How many can there be? - Just one!

Stupid ignorant bandits!

Whales aren't minnows!

Can't catch and gut 'em!

What a beauty!

You finally got to see it That's a whale!

Its nose is one its back!

I told you it was there!

Must be a female It's kind of small

That's small?

There are bigger ones?

Of course! His thingy is this thick!

What thingy?

Whiskers

They're this thick

Aren't you going to catch it?

Catch that'!

You said it's a fish

Just a fish

Catch it to eat for dinner

Gut it and cut its fins...

You fool!

What's wrong?

If it was that big, you should've stopped us!

Why bring us out to sea!

Damn it!

I said it was huge a thousand times!

Rank him 10th!

The lasi of us!

You big-mouthed fool!

Should've drawn the whale's eye bigger!

I said if you let 'em live, they'd be trouble!

You became a mere fisherman?

Putting harpoons on cannons?

How is it?

The smell of the sea before you die?

The sea smells the same

Get him! You even beat 5,000 men!

5,000 is an exaggeration

Let's fight to the death!

We've lived long enough!

- You're going blind anyway - What?

Don't be foolish!

There's no way to stop a cannon

Soma!

This is between you and me!

I challenge you to a duel!

Naive girl!

That's why you're not fit to be a captain!

Boys!

Bring the ship up close

Captain?

There's a ship

It's a naval ship!

A man should eat meat!

- Who needs fish? - Right!

We're fit for the mountains

- Forget the damn fishy-smelling pirates! - Right!

Men are like mountains! Women are like the sea!

Buddha likes mountains, too

How stupid for pirates to float on a ship instead of the vast land?

That's why they're the dumbest of all thieves!

Right!

Let's go back!

Buddha! Here we come!

My Lady! it's me!

Damn Crazy Tiger!

It's me!

That ship is blocking the cannons.

Chief?

We're in a weird spot here

Now!

Attack!

Fight!

Against who?

Get them!

Attack!

I came to help you!

My Lady! Help!

Who are you?

I'm Crazy...

Damn it!

This isn't our fight! Let's go!

Let them fight it out!

Don't fight! Please!

Just cut his arm!

Killing is bad

Wait!

Chief!

We're drifting apart!

Chief!

You've lasted long enough

Captain Soma won!

Congratulations, sir!

Who are you?

I'm Crazy Tiger, JANG Sa-jung

JANG Saiyung'!?

That's right

It's not easy to meet like this

How about becoming brothers for life?

Yes, sir!

S“?

They'll be sent to the naval troops and executed!

That's what you pay for challenging me!

You abandoned your brothers and got tossed out...

And haven't changed one bit

After everything I taught you, you're still hung up on brotherhood'?

Naive fools fall victim to those with power

So true, sir!

As you can see, we're just passing travelers

We just came the wrong way

Don't you know it's rude for a bandit (o attack a pirate?

If you say so...

Spare us, sir

You're cute, the way you beg

Beg like him, bitch!

Did you forget?

There are only two ends for a pirate

To become fish food...

Or be resurrected as a dragon!

There are two ways for bandits, too!

Go after money

Or...

Stay alive all of you!

Wait! I'm not ready!

Chief! Captain!

Soma at your service, sir

Explain what happened to Yeo-wol

I heard she changed cannons with harpoons

She was chasing whales like a fisherman, Commander

Right before she caught it, I turned her inio whale bait

I'll offer you tributes-twice as much as before

How much is your life worth?

Since I rule the seas...

The price of a whale

If you catch it, you'll live If you don't, you'll die

A whale, sir?

I'm taking over this ship

You catch the whale and I'll gut it. Got it?

You're free to board my ship, Commander

But please remember this-

What?

The one who gives orders here...

can only be me, Soma

Commander

Damn...

Who are you?

A pirate or a bandit?

Why's that important at a time like this?

Who cares!

Fool!

Pirates are way above petty bandit thieves

What a load of crap!

Didn't your leader lose the swordfight?

At least she didn't grovel for her life like yours did!

He did not!

He's a great thief who once fought with Yl Seong-gye!

Right!

Yl Seong-gye...

Who's that?

Ignorant pirates!

That's the king's name

Pirates don't serve kings!

Only Captain Yeo-wol, daughter of the dragon!

A dragon's daughter?

The eldest at that!

Our chief is a tiger's father!

- The eldest one! - Right!

Damn!

Come here!

Don't mix with petty bandits!

Come here!

Don't mix with loser pirates!

Why am I so important all of a sudden?

I don't care!

Mountains are for men!

The sea is for men!

So, why's your leader a girl?

A sin?

- You grass-eating fool! - You anchovy crap!

Cut it out!

Why, you!

Hey!

You're not sleeping, are you?

My Lady...

Shall we go pee?

Stop being so disgusting

How is peeing disgusting?

It's only natural

I gotta go real bad!

Cutting off your wrist will solve this

Your Majesty!

Goryeo revered Buddhism

Monks conspired with aristocrats to rule locally

Revere Confucianism, oppress Buddhism...

and redirect the riches into the palace, sir

Thus, establish a firm basis to your kingdom, sir!

But I have no Royal Seal to stamp such a decree!

I'm afraid to say this, but...

If you're afraid, don't speak!

Two days!

Just two days left

Why do they bring up things instead of finding the Royal Seal?

Whales stay on the same migratory routes

Two days are enough to catch it

I heard it's really big

Won't it be hard?

We'll attack the baby whale, sir

The mother whale never leaves the baby. it'll be easy

What will you do with her?

Whales are angels sent by the Sea God

Catching one would anger the Sea God

Too bad for you, but she'll be sacrificed

If you came to me then, you wouldn't be here

I sh0uld've killed you then

Daring bitch

What's that'?

My mom gave it to me

She said it was all she had

Where is she?

She died

Soldiers killed her

Why?

'Cause my father was a pirate

But mom was a fish diver

So, I can't stand soldiers like you

It's been years since I became a bandit

Did you commit a crime?

I did

I failed to protect my brothers and country

Do we have a country to protect?

Kings and aristocrats run off first when enemies attack

They offer children as maids and eunuchs

They choke the people for more taxes

Rather than defending a country like that...

I'd give my life to protect someone I love

I agree with you

That's why I want to catch the whale

I can't live in hiding forever

I want a happy life with a family

Are you married?

I'm a bachelor!

See? We have unbreakable ties like this

You're really asking for it!

I'm not joking, my Lady

Won't you be that special person in my life?

Your face turned red

It's from the fire!

Let's go for a swim

Is it urgent?

Let's go

Wonder why the sea is warm

A petty thief dares mock a pirate captain?

A Petty thief?

There are 20 silver coins on my head

There are 50 on mine! Twice as many

The reward money isn't important!

Look!

It's from killing a powerful Yuan general!

This is from killing a Vietnamese pirate head!

I killed 500 Ming soldiers by myself!

I fought off 5,000 pirates by Tsusima Island!

I even survived an attack from a tiger! See?

Ever heard of a dragon?

What do you know about dragons!

A dragon bit me, but...

Shocked?

Look!

Why am I all alone...

I thought I was a goner!

What happened to the rest?

Goryeo rebels BANG, YEO, KWAK...

And the rest of you!

So damn unlucky!

After the mountains and the seas...

lend up dying like this?

"When we should unite...

and work hard..."

Why's this so long?

"To create new history in this land..."

Chief?

Who's that?

Who are you?

Who's asking?

"Who's asking?"

What's it to you?

"What's it to you?”

Quiet

Why!

"Why?"

So what?

"So what?"

- Quiet! - No!

I just said my legs hurt! What's wrong with that!

I'm sitting on a big bump! It kills!

Just kill me! I gotta pee!

I apologize on his behalf

Don't! Can't I say it hurts?

- Quiet! - You be quiet!

Chief

What? Thief?

Chief

They've lost their minds!

Soldiers!

- Kill the rebels at once! - Yes, sir!

Over here! Captain!

Chief!

Over here!

Chief!

Captain!

What about me?

Stay back!

Soldiers!

Where is the girl?

So, you became a bandit?

I don't know what to say...

I ran off without a word

You'll always be our brother

No matter where you go, be a good thief

You'll attack Soma with just them?

Leave the sea to us and go back to the mountains

Please reconsider

Come to the mountains with me

Let's be happy there

You're really testing my manners

Here's my final offer

If you beg me to stay, I'll stay

If you beg to come along, I'll take you in

If you mock a pirate, this is what happens!

We'll attack Soma!

And rescue our sister!

Look

The color of the sea tells us where the whale is

The clouds are low We should turn back!

I said whales are angels sent by the Sea God

Thought they're easy to catch?

Yes, sir!

Come up to the surface

There!

It's the whale!

Full speed portside!

Mommy!

It was the naval troops!

They framed the village as the pirates' hideout

They killed all the men and took the children

MOE troops (M Ms'?

There's no end to that bastards greed

I must kill that devil myself!

Where?

Back to the sea!

Not again!

Though I can't save the world...

A man should protect the one he loves

Then Why'd I get off the ship?

I come over here and now I'm going back'? Damn!

Chul-bong! You're second in rank

Let's go, Chief!

Hurry! Chief!

Chief! What about me?

- Stop ihe ship! - Go after it!

- No! Stop! - After it!

Commander!

The whale is getting away!

Only I give the orders on this ship!

A baby whale can't hold its breath for long

It'll come up soon

- Stop the ship and wait! - Yes, sir!

There! It's a whale!

Tum starboard!

" Go fight! ' GO fight!

Get the baby, not the mother!

- Aim at the baby! - Yes, sir!

Come closer!

More

Fire!

Fire!

- Pull the rope! - Yes, sir!

Lure the mother whale!

Fire!

Stop!

Listen carefully!

If we don't kill it in one blow, it'll gel us!

- So be on alert! - Yes, sir!

Think you can destroy my ship?

Come closer!

- Fire! - Fire!

Now! Throw the grenades!

The Sea God!

A great storm is coming, sir.

Whales truly are angels from the Sea God

- Throw the girl in as a sacrifice! - Yes, sir!

- Throw the harpoons! - Yes, sir!

Let's pull the whale back to land!

- Hurry! - Yes, sir!

Commander!

I give the orders here!

You'll take all the credit, huh?

You're smarter than I thought

Oh, much smarter

- Show 'em! - Yes, sir!

If we light the wick linked to the explosives' den...

We'll all blow up and become fish food

Don't forget

We share the same fate on the same ship

I'm not going down with you!

Go ahead and try!

You don't have the nerve!

Think you're man enough?

The dragon is resurrected!

Sis...

Let's go home

Are you okay?

Guard the whale! Don't lose it!

No!

This bitch's life is mine

A soldier can't kill a pirate like her!

Fire!

Sis!

There are only two ways for a bandit!

Go after money!

Or go after love!

We'll talk about that later

You bastards!

One of us won't be setting foot on land today

That won't be me!

Thanks, Bandit!

Pirate! You owe me!

Captain Yeo-wol!

Shit!

Yeo-wol!

- Oh no! - Chief!

It's all over!

I shouldn't have taken you in, then...

Run for your life

The ship is about to explode

It's the last favor I give you

Hurry!

Hurry!

Run! The ship will explode!

Hurry!

Get off!

Go to hell and apologize to Joong!

Jump!

Commander!

I said same ship, same fate!

I'm JANG Sa-jung

Do you remember me?

What country do I belong to?

Since Ming gave the name Joseon, am I a citizen of Ming?

I don't want to belong to such a country

A whale swallowing the Royal Seal is heaven's warning...

Against ruling under Ming's influence

Even a whale risks its life to save its baby!

How can a king sacrifice his people to find a Ming seal?

Think about what kind of world you'll make

If you create a country truly for the people...

I, too, will uphold you as king

A whale ate the Royal Seal?

Forgive us, Your Majesty!

You fools!

Send home all the children set to be offered to Ming!

Your Majesty!

But Ming demands them!

Quiet!

HAN! Go to Ming at once!

S“?

Go and renegotiate!

If you fail“.

I'll send your children off as maids and eunuchs!

Understood!

Yes, Your Majesty!

I should've died at sea!

YI SEONG-GYE FOUNDED JOSEON IN 1392

THE ROYAL SEAL WAS RECEIVED FROM MING IN 1403

FOR 10 YEARS AFTER JOSEON'S FOUNDING...

A TEMPORARY SEAL CALLED 'JOSEON'S ROYAL SEAL' WAS USED

Hey!

- Don't tie ihat there! - You said to!

- That's not what I said! - No!

The wind's blowing this way!

- Stop confusing us! - You do it!

When will they get it right?

I sh0uld've killed him back in the mountains

You said it, Monk!

I gotta get off this ship
