Editor's Notes
- #3 Edmont Dantes escapes Chateu Div only to end on a beach with Luigi Vampa a smuggler and a thief with his men. They are about to kill one of their men Jacopo who was caught stealing from them. Some of Jacopo’s friends were begging for mercy but Luigi Vampa could not give this as he would appear weak and loose control of his band of thieves. Luigi “You provide me with a way to show a little mercy to Jacopo - that maggot you see tied up over there - while at the same time not appearing weak. And as a bonus, the lads will get to see a little sport as well.” Edmond: How do I accomplish all this? Luigi: We watch you and Jacopo fight to the death. If Jacopo wins, we welcome him back to the crew. If you win, I have given Jacopo the chance to live, even if he did not take advantage of it, and you can take his place on the boat. Edmond: What if I win and I don't want to be a smuggler? Luigi: Then we slit your throat, and we're a bit shorthanded. Edmond: I find that smuggling is the life for me, and would be delighted to kill your friend the maggot!
