Bill stepped into the center of the stage and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting, comrades of the Silver Pirate Alliance, united by the goal of reaching the pinnacle of the pirate era together."
The crowd was still cheering loudly, "Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill!"
Bill suddenly raised a hand and waved for them to quiet down. Then he smiled and said, "Now then, let's hear about today's results."
