Prologue
Aborde the pirate ship, Rising Sun,
I sigh staring out the post side window. The sun is showing it's raise and marking a new dawn. The colors in the sky turn the water into deep shades of blues, and purples. Beautiful. I roll my eyes and go back to what I was writing. An hour to port. We had to be careful, Navy ships were common here. I sigh once again putting the quill down. I stretch a bit before standing up.
"Well I'm up. Better go face my crew." I state, absent minded.
"Ah! Captain glad you could join us!" A red-head says as I emerge from my cabin. Her dark hair is swept over her shoulder.
"Uh huh. Sure. Does everyone know the plan? Navy ships are freakin everywhere!" I say flatly.
"Of course Captain." She nods.
I nod back, standing at the bow. I hear the crew running around and getting ready. Because this is the royal city it will be swarming with Naval officers and guards. The ship sways gently as we approach the harbor. We made sure to take down the Fairy Tail flag and put one of merchants. A simple trade ship. Now if my bull-headed crew would stay in line everything would be perfect.
"APPROACHING HARBOR CAPTAIN!" A voice calls. Laxus.
"Aye. EVERYONE INTO POSITIONS!" I call. Everyone runs like the ship is on fire. Soon we are ready.
"Let's get this over with." I mutter. Something's going to go wrong, knowing these people. But, hey, what's a pirate without danger?
Aborde the Navy ship, The Atlas
I retracted the spyglass. Then I breathe a sigh of relief. Nothing but merchants. Good. I shake my head. At least they aren't the notorious pirates, Fairy Tail. With a reputation like that it'd be hard to run from the Navy, and bounty hunters. Why, the captain has 30 million jewel reward for their capture. Heh, to get my hands on all that.
"Commander. Ship spotted." A deep male voice says from behind me.
"Ah of course Gajeel. Merchant ship." I reply, unfazed.
"Oh. Merchants good. Not those Fairy Tail pirates. Although that reward for their captain sounds nice doesn't it?" Gajeel laughs, I join him.
"Indeed. Indeed it does." I say. Oh to get my hands on them….they caused so much trouble. Sinking our ships and such. I grit my teeth.
I smooth my hands down my uniform. Blue frock coat with a white waistcoat. My rank is third highest. I smile. Gajeel is a Lieutenant, same uniform. We leave the helm and head to the bow.
"Gray, Loke, Romeo, Pantherlily, Happy." I call listing them off. They all come and stand next to Gajeel and I.
"Glad you could join us." I say, my hand resting on my scabbard.
"Make haste! We have a king to protect!" Gray says, everyone scurries off. Romeo is the boatswain. Does all the work with the sails and cables. I smirk, watching the water.
