On Skurvy's ship, Donkey Kong is not sure that he is really a croc, instead believing himself to be an ape, but Skurvy convinces him (during a song) that he is a croc by putting a large frame between them and mimicking Donkey's actions, giving the impression of a mirror. Shortly following, "Donkey Croc" is given his own pirate hat and eye patch, and eagerly awaits his first task as a member of Skurvy's crew. Skurvy orders him to go steal the [[Crystal Coconut]], but since he no longer knows where is is, Skurvy has to make a map for him first.

Diddy and [[Funky Kong|Funky]], meanwhile, have been searching for DK by air in Funky's plane. They don't find him, but they catch sight of Skurvy's ship below and head back to [[Cranky's Cabin]] to alert him of this news.

Donkey Croc sets off in his task, along the way stealing Candy's necklace, [[Eddie the Yeti]]'s club, and [[King K. Rool]]'s "throne", leaving banana peels in their place. However, at the moment Donkey Croc leaves with K. Rool's throne, [[General Klump|Klump]], [[Krusha (character)|Krusha]], and [[King K. Rool]] emerge from behind a pile of crates, confused at the event that just occurred.

At Cranky's Cabin, Funky and Diddy report that the pirates are on the island, as well as that Donkey Kong is still missing. However, at that moment, Donkey Croc breaks into the cabin, steals the Crystal Coconut, and leaves with Funky's plane. It is at this moment that the three realize that DK believes himself to be a pirate.

Back on the ship, Skurvy is congratulating Donkey Croc for his impressive amount of loot, and then tells the crew that they are now going to bury all the treasure minus the Coconut. Unbeknownst to them, however, K. Rool, Klump, and Krusha are spying on them; upon finding out that DK believes he is a pirate, K. Rool begins to think of ways to use this turn of events to his advantage.

Line 46: Line 47:


After returning the Coconut to the Cabin, Diddy reminds DK that the entire situation began all because Donkey Kong was careless with his banana peels. Donkey Kong then states he has learned his lesson and that he has put them where they belong, and Diddy asks where that is. At that moment, K. Rool and Skurvy cross paths while looking for the Coconut, and they insult each other before noticing a barrel at the end of the mine. Believing it to contain the Crystal Coconut, they both dash for it, but slip on some laid-out banana peels and fall onto the ground below by accident, taking the barrel with them, with the barrel revealing that there is nothing but bananas inside. When they come to, they both have amnesia and, thanks to the bananas all around them, believe they are both monkeys.

SKURVY:<br>
''Arrh! Feast your eyes<br>Look into the mirror, arrh, it never lies!<br>You're a pirate! Can't you see that this is no disguise?<br>You live to loot and pillage, maim and terrorize!
''Your reflection tells the story of a pirate's life of glory<br>Trust your eyes! Arrh!<br>The mirror never lies!<br>Arrh!
DK:<br>
''How can this be?<br>I faintly recall swinging tree to tree!<br>Now I see a pirate that's in front of me!<br>With slimy skin and beady eyes, what a surprise!
''The reflection tells the story of a pirate's life of glory<br>Trust my eye!<br>The mirror never lies!

''Well, if what you say is true...<br>Then I guess we're brothers, same color with a similar hue<br>With these fangs and this scaly skin...<br>There's no question that we're family, next of kin
'''Cause I'm one of you! One of you!<br>Same crew, nothing I can do!<br>I can see I'm one of you<br>One of you! One of you! The same crew!<br>I'm really one of you!''
