Where is Pirate King in Waiting Hidden Story?

First Hidden Story

The first Hidden Story begins on Skyreach Steppe in Tortoyk. You have to climb up a cliff to reach this area full of pirates. You'll find pirates that spawn quickly in the area you're looking for, so investigate it after they've all died. 

Find a tent with many boxes and a large net. Once investigated, you have 10 minutes to find the next location. The spot is marked on the map above.

Second Hidden Story

Next, you need to go to the west side of Mokoko Village. Next to the tavern, you will notice four large barrels under a canopy. The next hidden story can be found in the barrel closest to the door. After you have investigated the barrel, you have 30 minutes to find the next location. The spot is marked on the map above.

Third Hidden Story

This next part requires you to have access to the pirate den dungeon, so if you don't have access yet, you'll have to do the main quest until you can enter this dungeon and repeat this process.

Enter the Pirate Den and hurry through the story until you reach the end. In the end, beat the monsters as quickly as possible and then search the middle of the wooden floor you are standing on. Look at the image to see where you can investigate, and the spot is marked on the map above.
