On the other side, a young merchant girl harbouring an impossible dream, continued to grow. Her father, a supportive figure in her life, would do anything for his daughter. However, there was one thing he couldn't defy-the societal expectations that had persisted since ancient times. Meanwhile, Westley, the struggling boy who had been attempting to conquer the challenge of jumping over a towering tree, experienced a remarkable transformation. With unwavering determination and countless endeavours, he finally mastered the skill. His once thin and weak arms had developed into solid muscles..

The scene shifted to a twenty-five-year-old man with golden hair sprinting toward the tree of his childhood. Over the years, the tree had grown into a massive entity, resembling a monstrous creature.. With a bow and arrow in hand, the man approached the tree. In a swift motion, he shot an arrow attached to a rope into the tree's branches, securing it tightly. With the force propelling him forward, he soared around the tree, completing one, then two, rotations. Suddenly, he cut the rope with a swift knife strike, freeing himself, Like a boomerang, he was propelled towards a ship anchored in the distance. The sailors on-board the ship were taken aback by the unexpected sight. As they turned to investigate, they witnessed the man attempting to climb aboard. "Who are you?!" the sailors demanded. The man, with his gleaming eyes and shining teeth, raised his face and replied, "I am the father of the pirate!" Realizing that they were pirates themselves, the sailors cautiously approached the man, preparing for a confrontation. One pirate swung his sword towards the man's leg, but with remarkable agility, the man leaped into the air, landing gracefully on the sword's blade.
