In a pirate ditty (" | In a pirate ditty ("Pirate's Scorn"), [[Kaptain Skurvy]] reveals part of his origins as a pirate, his history with the [[Crystal Coconut]], and his intentions to steal it. | ||
At [[Cranky's Cabin]], [[Cranky Kong|Cranky]] is pacing about, saddened and complaining about how his life is so quiet when a cannonball flies into his house. Cranky is able to duck in time, while the projectile crashes behind him. Kaptain Skurvy then demands the Crystal Coconut, smoke around the cabin's entrance clearing to reveal him.

Cranky is surprised to see that he is there, and Skurvy once again demands he give them the coconut, Skurvy's crew stepping out from behind him and [[Green Kroc]] threatening to slice him apart if he doesn't. Cranky states that he doesn't know what they are talking about, but Skurvy's parrot convinces the pirates that it is inside the object in the center of the room. Skurvy demands that he open it, though Cranky continues to state that he doesn't have it and tells the pirates to leave. However, this does not work, as the object opens, revealing the Crystal Coconut. Cranky still refuses to let him have it, and when Skurvy attempts to do so anyway [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] arrive. Skurvy attempts to charge them, but Donkey punches him, knocking him out. Green Kroc and [[Kutlass (character)|Kutlass]] attempt to attack them, but they are apparently no match for the two, and Skurvy and the crew retreat. | ||
Meanwhile, [[King K. Rool]] is viewing the Crystal Coconut from a telescope, which is soon after revealed to be attached to a barrel cannon with [[General Klump]] loaded into it. K. Rool fires, and Klump is sent flying into the cabin. He is able to grab the coconut before the Kongs notice, and is sent flying out of the cabin and back into the cannon via the bungee cord he is attached to. Excited that Klump was able to successfully complete his mission, K. Rool runs off with the cannon with Klump still loaded into it. The Kongs head outside and watch in disbelief. | Meanwhile, [[King K.

At [[Bluster Barrelworks]], [[Candy Kong|Candy]] is busy working while [[Bluster Kong|Bluster]] continuously calls out to her. Annoyed, Candy finally asks what he wants. Bluster asks her who the "handsomest, bravest ape in all of [[Donkey Kong Island|Kongo Bongo]]" is, though she replies by saying it is Donkey Kong. During their conversation, however, the machinery in the barrelworks shuts down, and the two are surprised when K. Rool and Klump enter. Bluster hides behind Candy while she asks what he wants. K. Rool states that he is going to take over the factory, since he has the Crystal Coconut. Bluster immediately surrenders, and K. Rool has him reconfigure the factory to produce [[TNT Barrel|explosive barrels]]. Bluster refuses, but he gives in to K. Rool's demands when two [[Kritter]]s with him point their [[Klap-Blaster]]s at him. As the barrels are being produced, K. Rool relishes his victory as the mechanism that guarantees the barrel's quality continuously detonates them. | At [[Bluster Barrelworks]], [[Candy Kong|Candy]] is busy working while [[Bluster Kong|Bluster]] continuously calls out to her.

Diddy asks how they are to do this, and Cranky states that he doesn't care how when they all hear explosions. Donkey Kong immediately figures out that the source is exploding barrels. Meanwhile, K. Rool is still watching barrels continue to explode as Bluster expresses his humiliation and sadness over the loss of the barrels. Bluster states that he cannot destroy another barrel, so K. Rool shoves him out of the way to do it himself. As he does this, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong arrive (though K. Rool does not recognize their presence at first). After the two exchange some banter (with Bluster sneaking away during this time), K. Rool presses various buttons, detonating more barrels on the conveyer belt and starting a chain reaction, causing the other barrels to explode. K. Rool and Klump use the opportunity to escape via mine cart. However, DK and Diddy chase after them in another one. During the chase, Bluster, who is in the mine cart directly behind K. Rool's, finds a Klap-Blaster, and threatens to fire if he isn't freed. Klump, however, tosses the Crystal Coconut at him, causing him to drop the blaster and fly out of the kart. K. Rool, however, scolds him for throwing the coconut at him, but upon noticing that DK and Diddy are still gaining on him, he fires the Klap-Blaster. The miniature [[Klaptrap]]s make quick work of the mine cart, and K. Rool and Klump are able to escape. The Kongs are determined to head after him, but Bluster then shows up and reveals that he has the coconut. | ||

Donkey and Diddy | Back at Cranky's Cabin, DK and Diddy present him with the Crystal Coconut, but Cranky continuously tells them to leave. Donkey and Diddy don't understand at first, but as soon as they are able to walk in, they find that Skurvy and his crew are inside. Skurvy demands that they put it down and has Kutlass retrieve it when Donkey Kong does so. The two Kongs then head off to once again retrieve the Crystal Coconut. | ||

However, as soon as the two believe they have won, they remember that Skurvy is still there, who shows up with a cannon. He fires a cannonball at them, but it instead bounces off of the ship and flies up into the crow's nest. Some munching and slicing can be heard, and the cannonball falls to the ground, now eaten like an apple. Klap Trap then appears, with his teeth back in, and begins to eat the ship. Donkey and Diddy leave. | However, as soon as the two believe they have won, they remember that Skurvy is still there, who shows up with a cannon.
