On the far of eastern seas, there was a ship headed from Germany to France. The sailors were preparing the masts in order to catch winds, to move them forward on the high seas. But little do they know that their ship is targeted by a pirate ship heading their way. The sailors on board sees them coming and prepared for the invasion as the ship came in contact. Once they're on side to side, the pirates begin climbing onto another ship, fought the sailors, rob them of their treasures and left a few men for dead. While the pirates battled the sailors, a stole away snuck his way onto the ship and the next. The pirates triumphed over the sailors, retreated with their stolen treasures and before they can sail away, they started firing canon-balls at the ship, sinking them to the depths of the ocean. The pirates celebrated their latest victory as their captain Blackbeard appears from the deck, drinking his rum to his mates. While they partied away, the stole away quietly found his way to the vault of the ship, where they kept the treasures they stole from other ships. He helps himself as he puts the stolen goods into his sacks. Before he can finish his last sack, one of the cutlass crew mates spotted him stealing their gold.
"Hey!" the crewman shouted. "Get away from our treasure, you swine!"
The stole away turns around and smiles.
"I'm sorry, lad." said the stole away as he pulls his sword out on the man. "I'd love to stay and chat but I'm on the clock."
The swashbuckling thief fought the pirate in a fair sword fight. The cutlass pirate nearly had the upper hand on the stole away but he was outsmarted by the cloaked vigilante. He fell into the barrel and got stuck. Then the stole away continues on filling up the last sack of treasure. Once he finishes up, he throws the sacks right onto his boat below the ship. As he prepared to leave the vault, he is stopped by a number of angry pirates whom were not pleased with their treasures being stolen from them. With their swords out, the big fight begins. They all outnumbered the lone vigilante but thanks to his wits, they don't stood a chance against him. Complete with dirty fighting and knowing the arts of the sword, the vigilante tricks every pirate who tries to oppose him but they all failed in defeat. As the cloaked vigilante made his way to the deck, he was confronted by Blackbeard who is waiting for him at the top. His eyes filled with hatred towards the stole away within a burning passion.
"Now I've got you right where I want you, devil!" scolds Blackbeard, drawing his sword. "Did you really think you can come on me ship and take me treasure!? The last lad who did that, shall not live to tell the tale!"
"Aye! Dead men tells no tales." the vigilante mocked him. "Too bad you won't have a happy ending to match that tale worth telling."
Angered by that insult, Blackbeard lounges at the thief but he dodges the blade. They circled each other, waiting for the right moment to attack.
"I've awaited a long time for this day to come." snarled Blackbeard, grinning ominously. "And now it's here! Today will be the day that I can finally get to wipe that smile off your face."
"Oh really now?" said the vigilante. "I'd be delighted to see you try."
The two swashbuckling men begin clashing their swords in a fight. The intensity increases as Blackbeard nearly had the vigilante on the edge. He lounged down on him, tearing his cloak off. Before the most feared pirate knew it, the vigilante got up and turns around to face his opponent. Blackbeard instantly knew the face of the young man who was once a prince of the Roman kingdom, but now a bounty hunting pirate. He uttered the young rogue's name.
"Tristan! The prince!" Blackbeard growled in shock.
"I'm not a prince anymore." Tristan gloated gleefully. "I'm a bounty hunter now, and a pirate."
"I heard of you!" said the fearsome pirate as he points his sword at Tristan. "I will have your head as me trophy!"
"Good luck with that, Blackbeard." Tristan teased. "You're going to need it."
The pirates continues their fight on the deck. They took their duel to the top deck and they fought on the edge on the pier, pushing Tristan to the plank. Blackbeard grins as he forces the young man to the end of the ship.
"I believe it's time for you to walk the plank, Mister Tristan!" crackled Blackbeard, pushing forward.
Tristan looks up above him and sees a loose rope hanging from the masts. Then he grinned as well.
"Are you sure about that?" says Tristan. "Cause I should be going up!"
He jumps up, dodging Blackbeard's blade and grabs the rope, lounging up onto the mast. Enraged, Blackbeard glares at Tristan, who is looking down at him, smirking.
"Get down from there!" he yelled from below.
"What you say!?" Tristan mocked, putting his hand to his ear. "I can't hear you!"
Blackbeard growled. All of a sudden, his crew came onto the deck right by his side.
"Get him!" he ordered.
The pirates climbed up on the mast in attempts to get him. Tristan saw them surrounding him and slightly smiles.
"I just love it when they make things interesting for me." Tristan mumbles to himself as he ties the rope to his belt.
Before they can capture him, Tristan jumps off the mast, letting them crash into each other. While in midair, He takes both of his swords out and is now swinging down to Blackbeard, attacking him. With one blow, the most feared pirate of all the high seas, Blackbeard is defeated. He glared at Tristan who is now on the ledge. The young pirate bounty hunter turns to Blackbeard one last time and uttered his last words.
"Thank you so much for the show, gentlemen!" said Tristan, tipping his hat he stole from Blackbeard's head. "That was fun! But now it's my cue to leave. Ta ta!"
He leaps of the deck and onto his boat. Blackbeard watches him rowed away, enraged with hatred towards the young man.
"Curse you, Tristan!" the scary pirate Yells from afar.
In a moments past, Tristan was long gone. Rowing away with a pile of gold on his boat. After that, he got tired. He stops rowing his boat and decides to rest a little. He then took his sack and opens them to glance at the treasure.
"The finest heist I could ever pull." cheered Tristan, playing with the gold. "I'm almost there! So close to getting rich in order to have my own castle. Just a few more heists to go and BOOM! I'm right on top!"
The young pirate puts his gold away in his sack, sets it aside and starts rowing again.
"Now where to go next?" he said to himself as he rows south on the crystal clear water.
Tristan is known to be the slickest, charismatic and the most wanted guy in all the kingdoms. So it's not just all the pirates that are after him. It's the authorities as well, for he has rob the kings too. Since when he was a kid, he would always go break the rules and runs off, getting himself into all kind of trouble. His father, whom is now dead, would always be displeased by his son's antics. The king wishes that his son would behave like a good prince that he's supposed to be. Since that night Tristan's father died due to the Persian army invading his kingdom and destroyed it, the twelve year old prince was taken in by a group of bounty hunters who raised him as their own, trained him to become who he is now. He is sixteen years old and now he is enjoying going solo. He will do everything for the money, even if it means killing a living thing or a fellow man just to get his hands on the riches. That's the way he lives as the saying goes, "A pirates life for me".
