Captain Flint was the captain of a pirate ship, The Walrus, which accumulated an enormous amount of captured treasure. On August 1, 1750, Flint and six members of his crew bury the plunder on an island located somewhere in the Caribbean Sea. Flint then murders his six assistants, leaving the corpse of one with its arms outstretched in the direction of the buried treasure. The location of the treasure had been marked by Flint on a map and while he was dying it entrusted to his first mate William "Billy" Bones. The only person Flint was said to fear was his quartermaster John Silver, who later even called his parrot "Captain Flint" in mockery.

Captain Nemo really went "I've picked up this cute little professor in the middle of the North Pacific and I've decided to keep him. We are best friends now. Also he's gonna sleep in the room next to mine <3 "
Ismérie Thimerais and her servant, aide, and closest friend Sifflante-l'herbe-sous-le-pas-du-chien (Whistling-the-grass-under-the-dog's-step) or Chfwé for short.
Ismérie is a zevème physicist working at the University of Saint-Loegaire. Ismérie is albino and legally blind: though she can see colors and shapes, she has no depth perception and her vision is extremely blurred, enabling her to read large text at a short distance but being of otherwise little help.
When Ismérie was a child, her parents, well-meaning but ultimately products of their time, bought a yetsié child to serve as a companion and aide to their disabled daughter, thinking the yetsié little more than talking animals. As years passed, they began to realize their error and eventually freed Chfwé, who chose to remain part of the Thimerais household as a paid servant.
Because of her disability, Ismérie was not pushed to marry and was allowed to pursue her ambition of becoming a scientist. With Chfwé's help, she became a doctor of physics at the University of Saint-Loegaire. The Thimerais, long-time donators to the University, fought tooth and nail for Chfwé to graduate alongside Ismérie. They now conducts research as part of an all-women's team including themselves and two others, exploring the potentials of electricity.
Chfwé is an approximation of how part of Whistling-the-grass-under-the-dog's-step sounds, approximating "grass" specifically. Whistling-the-grass does not, counter intuitively, refer to her voice: it is an auditory metaphor for dry, brown grass in a late autumn or winter when the winds beat the fields, and refers to the colour of her coat. Under-the-dog's-step is less flattering and implies that she herself is the dog: it references the truly inordinate amount of time that Chfwé spends on the ground.
RHS is my current fictional crush. It’s been years at this point. He’s a pirate but amazing. He is one of the least seen characters and yet he is one of the most important to the series. Luckily the story is winding down so his role is increasing!!! He has the legacy of the King of the Pirates but whatever he’s doing is a different end game. He is generally taken to be a slut. But like positively. He taught Luffy all the kid knows about what is important about being a Pirate, including knowing which fights are worth you time. He also gave luffy the Hat. It was Rogers hat first. Plus the current emperors (himself plus 3) are all connected to him somehow. His crew is 100% there to back him up, and his fleet seems to be made of rejects, which is so kind and welcoming of him! And he’s probably the nicest (before Luffy) emperor to live in the territory of. And finally his appearance is Amazing! He’s got that giant scaring on his face that increases his hotness. And we still don’t know how he got it exactly, but it promises to be a great story! Plus he lost his left (dominate) arm saving little Luffy. And his hair is Red. And I’m obsessed with his clothes, especially the pants patterns.

Aronnax being all "I must avoid the Captain at all cost but I so do want to see him one last time but if I do I know he might make me change my mind about leaving with a single word or with a simple gesture of course this is all about the OCEAN and the ADVENTURE and SCIENCE also Captain Nemo is actually the embodiment of the ocean oh god now he's playing sad music and it's going straight to my heart. I must leave" and you're like... Oh honey
