"Captain Holmes!" Conan knocked politely on the door. "I have news. You are in need of some new crew members. The cook took objection to the cadaver in the larder and quit. Several of the more squeamish crewmembers left with him."
He sounded rather cheerful about the entire issue. "But at least the state of putrefaction is proceeding nicely."
It had taken Conan a lot of effort to get taken on as a cabin boy by Captain Holmes. Months of effort to track down the only pirate captain known to have had encounters with the leader of the Black Pirates. The same pirates, Conan suspected, who had been responsble for his own poisoning and shrinking. Weeks more of effort planning on how best to catch the captain's interest. Conan knew quite well that the only reason he'd been hired and kept on the crew was because Sherlock Holmes found him to be interesting.
And... at least it was not boring aboard this ship. He'd found quite a few shared interests with the captain. Until the day that he could destroy the Black Pirates and regain his life as Shinichi Kudo, this was not a bad life. Exploration. Treasure hunting and riddles. Plenty of scientific inquiry.
Now if only they had an easier time keeping the other crew members around.
