[[ | Maraqua once housed the Underwater [[Kitchen Quest]]s, later relocated to [[Mystery Island]], and was the sole supplier of [[Utility Fish]], which are now all retired and very expensive. [[The Neopets Team]] stated once that they originally planned for Utility Fish to be used as [[NeoHome]] utilities. Maraqua also sold Aquatic [[Petpet]]s (most of which were [[Old Neopets|redesigned]] and are now being sold on Mystery Island). The Aquatic Foods Shop also disappeared, retiring the shop items. | ||

Here, he demanded his annual 'protection money' from the then King Koi, who refused to pay (giving reasons such as a 'poor Kelp Harvest'). From the tone of this conversation, it can be assumed that Captain Dread regularly came for this money. The whirlpool is believed to be the result of a curse from this Pirate. The whirlpool, ten miles wide, lasted until the 31st May 2002, where is finally subsided to reveal the Ruins of Maraqua. | ||
