Chapter 1
The large, yellow boat rocked as water hit the sides of it. A white, pale lily flower was painted on both sides. The sails were embroidered with lilies also and a huge yellow flag was set on top with the word "Tendos" written on it.
Akane smiled widely from the deck. Her long, blue hair was braided into tiny braids that flapped around wildly behind her back. A yellow bandanna wrapped tightly around her head. A wide white ribbon was wrapped several times around her torso. The same type of ribbon wrapped around both her arms. A pair of dark red pants that was tied mid-center of her calf was toppled with a pair of white boots. A gold hoop earring could be seen hanging from her left ear. Her bright, brown eyes gleamed brightly from the sunlight. She turned her head around and looked at her crew.
"I told ya," she said. She pointed her finger in front of her. A small glint of shore could be seen from their boat. "Heh, we can never too far from land if I'm here." The crew below her clapped and cheered. Akane smirked.
She was of course one of the few talented navigators as well as the captain of this ship. Her father, Soun Tendo, was once the fiercest pirate on sea. He robbed hundreds of ships and was wealthier than anyone has ever been.
That changed when his fate brought him against Genma Saotome. He had not only heard about Soun's fame and fortune, he wanted it for himself. He sailed throughout the sea looking for Soun. Soun did not see Genma as much of a threat and so he did not bother to hide or do anything of such. When their ships finally faced off, Genma pulled a nasty trick. Right before the large battle was going to take place, Genma kidnapped Soun's beloved wife, Rei.
Soun loved her so much, more than life itself. He promised to forfeit the match and give all his treasures to Genma if he allowed the release of his wife. Of course, Genma agreed. After trading the two, Soun found out that his wife had been poisoned. She was going to die despite his efforts. He was devastated. Genma had tricked him for his treasure and now he had taken what Soun cherished the most.
Not long after the death of his wife, Soun found Akane. Her real parents had abandoned her. He took it on himself to raise her to become to best pirate that the world would ever know. But sadly, after just a short 8 years, Soun was captured. Akane was overwhelmed with grief. She was already a great pirate by then. With a few more years of training, she became the captain of her father's ship. (Soun was that of a father to her)
Akane frowned at the thought of her father. Though she didn't get the chance to meet Rei, she could tell that she was a great woman by seeing how much her father loved her. She's going to find this Genma Saotome and get revenge for her father.
Author's note: That's just the beginning. I really do have a great story going. Please review.
