I don't own Pirates. DAMMIT! Vivienne and all crew on The Red Death belong to me though. I am going to tweak the Pirate Lords scheme a bit there are the 9 Lords, but have 4 Pirate Lords who are higher than the 9 who do not go to the Brethren Court unless they wish too.
Prologue
Pirates. Fearsome men willing to forge a life beyond the reach of the law, liberated from conventional jobs and the constraints of European powers and society where they could pursue wealth, merriment, and adventure. The notorious outlaws, thieves, and criminals in every nation, including their own, who engaged in more than simple crime and undertook nothing short of a socio-political revolt unto the powers of Europe.
It was a brilliant description, if they were all men. Vivienne looked out over the water to see black sails come up over the horizon, She realized she was the only woman who could turn back the tide of tyranny on the high seas, but she was only the Pirate Lord of the Northern Seas.
She only wished she didn't have to capture a lesser Pirate Lord for her task, that things could go her way for once. It was horrible for pirates to turn on each other, but she had no choice as the English monarchy had threatened every pirate's life and treasure.
The black-sailed ship loomed closer. She recognized the Jolly Roger that floated above its sails. Jack Sparrow, that man disgusts me. Vivienne had her boat lowered and her first mate, Rose, a beautiful wench turned pirate, went with her. The Black Pearl loomed over the tiny boat, but she was undaunted. The mate onboard, Gibbs as she remembered, pulled the boat up with her and Rose's help.
Dressed in her Pirate Lord best, the gold trim on her jacket and the red velvet fabric made every pirate jealous, except her first mate. Her first mate already had her heart. She needed nothing else. They slept together in her cabin on her ship every night.
"Captain Vivienne of the Red Death, Captain Sparrow." Gibbs announced as the ship's crew stepped back. They had heard the stories of Vivienne ransacking the colonies and helping free slaves, but on the flip side of her good nature were the stories of killing all of the English merchant vessels that crossed her path. She was also wanted for murders of dukes, a prince, a duchess, and several counts. She had a regal baring, but she never wanted to hurt you unless you hurt her first. No one knew her relationship with Jack Sparrow, other than those two alone.
"Captain Sparrow." She said, good-naturedly.
"Vivienne and who is this flower?" He turned on the charm.
"She's my Rose. MY Rose, Jack." She calmed a little. "Now, I came to you because I am unsure of trusting the other Pirate Lords. "
"What do you need?" Jack asked, intrigued.
"I need you to help me take out a Pirate Lord."
