Will the authorities find out who is really behind this smuggling business?

After the recently Classic-Pirates.com frontpaged ship, HMS Prince of Wales, by Bonaparte, we have some brilliant news. Bonaparte has been kind enough to offer some behind-the-scenes shots on his somewhat 'community-built' ship - well, at least 'a few great ship builders-built'.
Anyway, rush over to the Pirates forum to check out a backstage tour of the making of the HMS Prince of Wales by Bonaparte!

Can the ravenous Pirates lure out the monkey with a delicious, irresistible, ripe banana? A group of trigger happy pirates are ready to shoot whenever the monkey comes out, that's if it comes out at all. It seems to be preoccupied in it's cave...

- Poor monkey!
Forseti has used some unique techniques to pull this MOC off. The beautiful tree design really stands out as something special but it does not take away from the central point and focus of the MOC.

After 6 months in the making and many teaser shots that were making us all spew in envy, Bonaparte releases his new ship in the Pirate forum. The Prince of Wales was a combined effort of Bonaparte, Captain green hair, Errorist, Zorro and HMS243, and it certainly shows that it's built by some of the best ship builders out there.
Featuring beautiful cloth sails and over 160 meters of rigging, this is a ship to be reckoned with. With 60 guns, she's armed to the teeth, and a great addition to Bonaparte's British army.
So come and see this long awaited ship, the HMS Prince of Wales by Bonaparte in the Pirate forum!

Oh no! The islanders are attacking! At least it's only the pirates getting beaten up. But at this rate, they may soon destroy the entire town!

The Islanders are getting their own back on the Pirates in this trilogy of MOCs
SlyOwl presents in three creative MOCs, the so called fearsome and blood thirsty pirates getting a piece of their own medicine from some angry Islanders. Will the Pirates get away? Only if the natives give their boat back.
