This is not a rhyme!

The investigation into the mysterious disappearances of crew members led nowhere. This situation clearly worried many, and various rumors circulated. Some were convinced that a serial killer was among us, while others blamed mermaids. Overall, however, the atmosphere of anxiety continued to grow.Nothing remarkable happened during the day, except for a strange bottle that was fished out of the water. Inside the bottle was a piece of parchment with a key drawn on it – the very key that opens the chest with the carved heart, and below it was the inscription: "Royal Yorick."
"This is a very bad sign!" one said, anxiously and stammering.
"Sea devil! They won't let their death go unavenged! They will take revenge on us!" shouted another.
"We're doomed, we have no chance!" a third said sadly.
The captain decided not to try to calm the crew and preferred to hide in his cabin...
...
It all started with a sharp jolt, as if we had run aground on a reef. Chaos broke out on the ship, bordering on panic. One of the crew members tried to shout to the others not to approach the side and to prepare the cannons for battle. At first, we didn't understand what he was talking about, but soon we saw huge tentacles rising from the water.
- Kraken!!!
- Prepare the cannons! Move, faster!
The tentacles slowly enveloped both sides and crawled onto the upper deck. We waited for the right moment and then opened fire with the cannons. Shards and pieces of scorched tentacles flew everywhere. This did not stop the monster, but rather made it even angrier. The surviving tentacles flailed around the ship, breaking and crushing everything in their path.
Several sailors were grabbed and dragged into the water. Artur_w was about to fire another shot, but one of the tentacles hit the cannon, and it crushed the gunner. Fragment fought the tentacles with his lucky pitchfork, but it didn't help him much – a broken mast fell right where he was standing.
Neiko desperately tried to fight off the tentacle that had grabbed her, but to no avail. Before she was dragged into the water, she tried to say something to us, but none of us knew how to read lips. Maybe she was trying to say who to give her 14,000 coins to?
Ple-Sen didn't even think about hiding or resisting. He had been ready for this outcome for a long time and willingly gave himself to the monster. As he went under the water, he watched the terrifying scene of the ship's crew desperately fighting the monster, as if he were sitting in the stalls of a theater.
Gathering all our strength, we desperately tried to resist the superior force. After firing all the ammunition and blowing up all the barrels of gunpowder and rum on the ship, we forced the monster to retreat. But no one doubted that it would return again. Fortunately, an island was visible ahead, and we hurried to swim to it on the half-destroyed ship.
