Ye come seekin adventure in salty old pirates huh...sure you're come to the proper place

The ship routes from England to the New World were vastly dangerous including the Caribbean, pirates roamed along the coasts and there fearsome repetition had become too much to handle. Among the uppercase for these who feel they could combat the menace.

A good example for such a fierce confection was between the pirates who roamed among the shores of Nassau and its correct Governor Cutler Beckett.

Cutler had been one time a young general working within the British army, receiving an honorable discharge following a horrifying wound during an Indian attack in the New World.

His reward a medal and then seemingly disappearing into the business world of London, with the East India Trading Company.

In the end of it all was finally over night to most citizens of the island of Nassau, a whole new Governor take over from the old one...

...Governor Weatherby Swann was thought "lost" during a terrible hurricane that ravaged the islands for whole two weeks.

He and his lovely daughter couldn't have survived such a storm since they were at sea at the time

The new Governor take over with little to no resistance to his regain across the islands.

Although it all was the facts that not all the people of the crown within London ever found the dark stories surrounding Beckett rule over Nassau port,to be ever really true.

But then again the young man was rumored to be rather heartless. And his aims in life to be rather high.

Dark rumors around a (in)famous figure like Beckett never bothered the likes of the ladies who still wanted his hand in marriage.

One of them being a noble well off family from Ireland...


Lady Rebecca "Redd" Smith laughed at the jokes made by the captain of the ship taking her to Nassau.

"Of course there is nothing to worry about with this voyage to what will basically be your new home miss.." Happily smiled the old weather beaten captain to his young 26 year guest.

"Ah Captain, i thought there would something like...

Adventure...

..And thrilling danger here within this Caribbean of yours?" Lady Rebecca questioned with her rather thick Irish accent as she continued "And the stories of pirates stalkin the waves around it"

"PIRATES!,border dash and poppy cock with them including the one who may attack our ship with fierce fire like.."

Rebecca eyes widen with excrement as she once again questioned him "Like whom would dare attack this ship with fire dear sir?"

The old captain seemed abit scared to answer at first but forced himself anyway "One pirate ship is said to prowl these waters and it is captained by a mask devil whose has target the East India Trading Company and those coming from Nassau.

Dark and evil they say these who look upon the masked man and his hellish crew

Red eyes blazing and carrying a broadsword that it would scare the very devil himself. It is why decided to around the island of Bermuda before heading toward the port of Nassau and your're daring husband to be"

The captain seemed quite bold in his statements toward the fiery haired young woman. Her mind taking in the images of the devilish pirate captain and his crew of cutthroats, any other woman would be terrified out of wits by such stories but not "Redd".

This story of a mask devil prowling the Caribbean seemed an enough of distraction from other thoughts in her head of marrying the Governor of Nassau.

It was her father's choice and given the fact that he and Beckett were partners in the East India Trading Company may been another factor. Such a fact that "Redd" had to remain herself while in the Caribbean, her roasted duck take on a bitter taste given that such dreams of adventure would be replaced by the dull parties in her honor.

Such was the fate of a rich well too Irish girl...

"CAPTAIN..oh dear excuse my interpretation sir but.."

The old captain seemed quite upset that his dinner was being disturbed by his first mate "Well spoke up man!"

The first mate seemed quite scared by the looks of him "Sir we seem to be..off course from our direction toward Bermuda!"


The old captain stumped out into the deck as "Redd" followed, quite shocked herself as what was happening..

There was thick fog surrounding the ship and once been clear hot day become darkened for some odd reason. She felt scared by what was happening around her as the crew panic around the deck.

"HELMSMAN...GOD DAMN IT MAN WHY THE HELL ARE WE OFF COURSE?" the captain yelled out with fury as the helmsman seemingly couldn't answer

"No idea sir, one second we were on course as you said next i become quite tired and now it's night time sir!?.."

Again this angered the captain as he take out his old pocket watch,"IT ISN'T NIGHT BLAST IT...ITS TWO IN THE AFTERNOON!"

DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES

The entire crew heard that eerie warning as suddenly and quickly the fog lifted. Now it truly was just night sky but everything about it was unfamiliar to her eyes, the stars were heading in the wrong direction and the sea was glowing a green color for some reason.

"LAND AHEAD!"

Cry out the lookout as everyone turned to see a gigantic eerie land mass were there had been never before. "HARD TO PORT!" yelled out the captain as the helmsman with all his might tried his best to avoid hitting it.

Redd now braced herself for the hit into the land mass...

But none come as she opened her eyes as it suddenly vanished before everyone's incredible amazement "WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS GOING ON HERE!?" questioned the captain as the look out yelled again

"CAPTAIN...I SEE SHIPS"

The old captain yelled out "SEE ANY OF THERE COLORS?"

Suddenly the look out seemed horrified when he spoke up again

"CAPTAIN THE CREWS OF THESE SHIPS THEY...ARE DEAD SIR"

Before anyone realized as what he was saying one of the ships closed in near it...

Redd saw the figurehead was a gigantic skull and there were shadowy figures crawling around it as it roamed right into them...

DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES


PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN:THE FORTUNES OF THE PIRATE KING

The young woman walked the sandy beach as the sun come up over the horizon, her short blond hair was almost in a boy's cut. Her green eyes watched as the dawn risen over the otherwise sleepy island paradise. She had known for the past 11 or so years, her mind felt clear around this time.

Her beautiful red lips smiled wide as she looked around her settings

This at least was the most loneliest part of the island and no one would dare bothered her

Quickly she begin to peel off the black man's shirt from her figure, her breasts bared to the sun as she also strip off the matching black pants.

Laying the clothes on the sandy beach, the woman's now completely naked form quickly run out into the warm tide that surround the island. She begin her morning swim with a breast stoke and was still smiling widely that none of her men could her now. Not that such things ever bothered her or what the upperclass would think of her showing off her body.

Maybe there was also the added danger of sharks that prowled the island but she felt brave or rather foolish to take them, bare handed but still laugh at the idea

As she drove underwater to the depth were there would be the prettiest of sea shells, as she was about to grab a handful of them...

She noted a shadow floating above her, curious as what she just seen. The naked woman quickly surfaced near it as she saw it was a long piece of draft wood.

Swimming towards it, she soon saw what was on top it...

A young woman with long red hair, the other woman put her hand to her neck. There seemed to be barely a pulse

The naked woman quickly put the other one to back and begin swimming back to shore


THE ISLAND OF TORTUGA..THE CITY OF THE PIRATE KING

Without much a thought or indeed clothes, the woman run into town as the people around her watched with curious glee at the beautiful woman before them

As she carried the unconscious women in her arms, coming at last to the home at the end of a dead end street within the town.

"GIBSON...

I KNOW YOUR'RE IN THERE...

BLOODY HELL MAN ARE YOU DRUNK AGAIN?" Shouted the woman as a tall black man peered from his second story window. Running down the steps to unlock his door as the woman stood ignoring the lustful looks from both the male and female onlookers to her very city.

As Gibson opened his door to rush the woman in "What kind of trouble ye get into THIS time...Captain?" speaking in deep accent that suited his tall massive figure.

And as always she was ignoring him with his questions as she carried the redhead to nearby sofa to the surprised look of Gibson. Clearly not wanting to cause an agurement with his captain to why she was completely naked. Walking the streets carrying a busty woman into the home of her second mate...

Yes this just another normal start to the day in Torgua!


"Her dress has been torn and there marks on her arm that would be sword swashes..."

"The Black Guards?" The still naked captain questioned as Gibson nodded his head

"No there blades as you know come with sharp edges, these seem not be so clean as that"

Now she turned way as her second mate begin his work to bandage the redhead "If you want to know she be fine with am guessing a mild headache given her um...figure"

She could hear him laughing behind her back, "Whats so bloody funny then Gibson?"

"AHAHA your're were out for shells again Swann were you not?" as she was about to her answer though, the redhead moaned and speak up with a thick Irish accent

"Elizabeth Swann...please DON'T GO..."


"YOUR'RE NOT LEAVING ME AGAIN!?"

Rebecca asked in complete anger as the rain poured in the horse stables outside of the Smith Estate toward blond "friend"

"What the hell do went me to do Redd? make my father give on going to Nassau and me along with it?"

"OF COURSE! to hell with what people will say when i'll be the one to ask for your're hand in marriage..."

Elizabeth looked shocked in her eyes as Redd stared now showing barely any emotion as Swann seemed to try to answer her

"MY FATHER FOR ONE THING! do you think that he will EVER allow a...a woman to ask for my hand?"

Redd closed her eyes and was about her answer her as well

"NO REBECCA! IT IS DONE OR IS IT PROPER, I AM NOT GOING TO ALLOW MYSELF TO..."

Even in utter anger she couldn't gather the right things to say as Redd tried her hardest to keep her near "Elizabeth...do the right thing and call it off"

Elizabeth now just sit in the middle of the increasingly muddy stable and now in wanting to be calm "We have to end this NOW Redd and i am not going to see you ever again" she said with tears in her eyes...

Redd felt breathless and don't know what to think as Swann's lips suddenly touched her's

"REDD!?"


THE GOVERNOR'S MANSION ON THE ISLAND OF NASSAU

"COMMANDER NORRINGTON!" Yelled out the Governor Cutler as finished another round of tried combatants to his daily saber training within the study room

The younger looking commander of the Black Guards stood before him as it seemed he was angry once again "Yes sir..."

"WHAT IS THE DELAY IN FINDING OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ARENDELLE STAR?" he questioned as Norrington was trying to think of something to answer with

"Well...ummm sir our ships haven't found anymore to the wreckage or were the crew with them except that it was caught in some horrible accident and..."

"YES I ALREADY KNOW THAT MORON but what of the fate of Lady Rebecca Smith?"

Norrington kind of laughed a bit and then answered "We...we haven't the faintest idea sir but our ships are still searching for her in Bermuda and am sure that no harm would come to your're bride to be...sir"

Cutler slashed a nearby curtain cutting it in two to Norrington's surprise "You better commander. The sooner this wedding takes place the sooner we get back to hunting down the Pirate King and eliminating any delays to my plans"

Norrington nodded quickly in agreement to the Governor "But sir what if the crown gets wind as what is going here in Nassau?"

Now the Governor was laughing at him and soon the whole entire room was filled with laughter as he pulled his sword to the commander's neck

"Your better hope not...i'll already fooled enough of the King's men to make Nassau MY own personal kingdom. When or if that ever gets back to the foolish old man it will be already too late for anyone to stop me...

Make sure our shipments go through and see if you go hunt for the Pirate King yourself"

"Of course sir" as Norrington was about to leave

Governor Cutler smiled widely "Ohhh and Commander make sure to bring back his head if you will"


"This girl...my feelings toward her...god damn it, she shouldn't even be here" Elizabeth disappointingly said toward her first officer

Gibson however don't looked too surprised by what was going with his captain and friend "So these "feelings" are supposed to be in the past then?"

"Bloody well right they are!

This Irish girl broke my heart and right now i do feel like having to draw up old memories from England including now. Just when we have the Governor on his heels at my feet" She said quite boldly and not even minding her nude form in front of him.

"Soon or later his regain in Nassau will end"

Not that he ever doubt her word "...But this girl is not soon in the past anymore Captain, since i bandaged her she doesn't want to eat any of the food i brought her. She seems quite upset that she thinks your being held captive by pirates..."

"WHAT?"

Gibson smiled slightly "Her words not mine madame, it seems the girl thinks this whole town wants a piece of her because she is a Smith"

Elizabeth now giggled a bit at him "Well she is quite rich in Dublin but its money that we don't need.."

"Let me guess...Captain Avery finally come through with taking up your're deal"

She grabbed the muscular man's shoulder "Port Royal and Tortuga will be untied as one force in the Caribbean, a new age can start and hopefully it will be better then the last one. Given that he and i are the only conquering pirates left in this part in the world"

She sounded a bit bitter about it but otherwise Gibson understood why "When is the meeting supposed to be?"

"Noon tomorrow at the Faithful Bride tavern, possibly it doesn't have mean bring in Redd into it.."

Gibson seemed in last in thought for a second as he answered back to her

"Why not just tell her the whole story...more or less captain then see if she will understood you"


"Ohh Lizzie think god your're safe...but WHY ARE YOUR'RE NOT WEARIN ANYTHING?"

Elizabeth ignored the surprised look on Redd's face taking to hugging her instated. "It doesn't matter now, Redd i thought we had said goodbye in Dublin. All those years ago without even a letter sent"

Redd was now looking a bit bitter now "I wanted that but felt so long ago without you...

Maybe i wouldn't even think that possible with just you and your're father sailing toward the New World. Maybe i hoped you had forgotten me for the best man in your life..."

Elizabeth laughed loudly within the second story bedroom of the house "If your're talking me and Gibson. Believe me there is NOTHING going on between us.

I am my own woman and want to keep it that way..."

Redd don't quite understand her friend's new found rashness with life "Well now if want to escape with me from this pirate's den and go on to..."

Before Redd could finish what she was saying, Gibson burst in.

Suddenly she grabbed ahold of a small knife to protect Elizabeth from the imposing pirate who had burst in "Alright your're ruffian, this may not be a sword but i will protect my lady's honor...even if it means killin you"

Gibson however wasn't paying the slightest attraction to her "Captain, the bowson needs to down at the ship. There's another leak happening like the night before"

Now Redd was very confused "Ahhhh did he just call you captain?"

"Damn it i thought we fixed that bloody problem, okay i'll get dressed and met him at the dock" Elizabeth spoke worryingly as Gibson turned around to leave

Elizabeth pulled out from the nearby closet a new fine pair of man's trousers,and white shirt as Redd felt all the more confused "Did that brute of a man just called you Captain!?"

"Did is my title here among this "ruffians" as you call them, Redd.."

"THIS COULDN'T BE TRUE"

Elizabeth don't to start an screaming match with her "Listen Rebecca have Gibson bring some breakfast when am gone and hopefully you call me how get shipwrecked ending up here in Tortuga.."

"OHHH WE ARE NOT FINISHED HERE LIZZIE I AM NOT GOING TO...DON'T DARE SHUT THAT DOOR IN MY FACE"

Redd yelled as Elizabeth did just that

Elizabeth turned to Gibson breathing heavily "My former girlfriend here among my pirates...this should really fun don't you think"

"Actually captain, this is the type of trouble i was talking about earlier"


Author's note: This is basically a completely(Sparrow)less AU for PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN with femslash of Elizabeth Swann and what is basically Scarlett.

Although it is also more in the style of an old fashioned swashbuckling pirate tale complete with corrupt governors, lesbian romance, deceitful pirates and of course buried treasure. Its kind of fun actually to think of even something for PIRATES aside from Jack.

Redd(formerly the Redhead) is apart of the ride at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World and its very fun to think up a new backstory for her

As for the supporting cast, well the names from the movies are indeed familiar they now take on otherwise newer roles within the story.

And i am kind of sorry for not including Jack into this but i don't know if wanted to include him here or not.

Elizabeth Swann does have a good enough reason to be the leader of a group of pirates within Tortuga and being the "Pirate King". Its actually pretty interesting answer as why she would war with Governor Beckett of Nassau.

gets a kind of a opposite counterpart in Elizabeth's first mate and former slave Gibson maybe another surprise

Anamaria from the first film is here as well

And yes i know am playing fast loose with a lot of Caribbean pirate history including the roles of various famous pirate names thrown around.

Hence the Captain Avery here isn't the actual famous Avery from pirate lore. Plus he's actually French(don't ask why a Frenchman is going around with a English sounding name!)

While the all too familiar Barbossa becomes later in this story Barbarossa.

Although trying to "realistic" to actual pirate history and lore around the Caribbean in what is a really unrealistic tale set in. Is also pretty to fun to think about as well

Plus there really isn't much in the way of Elizabeth Swann being a lesbian in a PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN fiction isn't that often done. And i wonder why, although just going by the way she is in the first chapter, she is already a different pirate from Sparrow

Since she has a somewhat dry more blank sense humor about her..

Never lets her ego go to just the mare title of "Captain" get in the way of her goals and her actual reason for doing anything in the piracy is pretty darker compared to Sparrow's

The supernatural and the general sea lore is going into this story basically much more creeper. Much less in your're face like the movies as well.

Although i can't tell what parts of the story they are within it

Anyways again sorry that Jack isn't apart of this story but i guess will be a fun story none the less

Please review and see what you think


Next chapter: Duel in Port Royal
