First island

"good job Lucy..." prince said

"Ohh..cap it was only possible because you gave me these binoculars...i can see through them at night..." Lucy was being humble but he was a child after all..

"Okay now, these new guys, lock them in a room and make sure their captain stays in a separate room."prince ordered...

The crew of the Seakraken was a small crew, so the battle was an easy one...

About 20 people were taken prisoner....

two people were dead by falling into the water

"we will decide their fate next morning, and make sure to pull that small ship too, we can use is after repairing"

"ayy ayy captian..."

Next morning...

Captain Prince stood at the helm of his ship, the Blakk pearl, gazing out at the ragged group of pirates that had been captured in the previous battle.

His crew had fought valiantly, and they had emerged victorious,

but now the task of dealing with the defeated pirates lay before him.

He turned to his first mate, a beautiful lady with piercing blue eyes.

"Gather the prisoners," he ordered.

"We need to determine their fate."

Kann nodded and quickly set to work,

barking orders at the crew as they went about their tasks.

Soon, the prisoners were brought before Captain Prince, their hands tied behind their backs and their faces sullen and defeated.

Prince looked over the group, noting their tattered clothing and scarred faces. These were not the dashing, adventurous pirates of legend, but rather a sad and desperate group of men who had resorted to piracy out of necessity.

He sighed heavily, knowing that he would have to make a difficult decision.

"I want to hear from each of you," he said, his voice calm and measured. "Tell me your story, and why you turned to piracy."

The pirates looked at each other uncertainly, but one stepped forward, a thin man with a patch over one eye.

"I was a sailor, sir," he began, his voice shaking slightly.

"But the ship I served on was attacked by pirates, and I was forced to join them or be killed. I've been with them ever since, but I never wanted to be a pirate."

Prince nodded, his expression softening slightly. He listened as each pirate shared his story, and he could see the desperation and hopelessness in their eyes.

After hearing from all of the prisoners, Captain Prince took a deep breath and spoke.

"You all made a grave mistake by turning to piracy,"

he said, his voice firm but not unkind.

"But I can see that you are not truly evil men. I have decided to show mercy and spare your lives."

The prisoners looked at each other in shock and disbelief, but Prince held up a hand to silence their protests.

"we are the vanishers of evil, we are dark pirates. Although we have pirates in our name, you see there aren't any other term of us...so, you should understand our situation. And btw you have two choices either cover our losses and go or join us and fight the bad guys with us..."

prince said with clam voice

"We've already surrendered ourselves, we're now living at your mercy...

No matter how we became pirates, but now we are pirates and pirates have an unwritten rule that whoever they surrender to, becomes their master, so we would like to join you "

james said....

"ok, but There will be consequences, of course, Till we do not reach our destination, you people will be kept as prisoners so that even if by mistake someone thinks of fighting back, he will not be able to succeed in his deed. "

he continued to speak...

"Since you are my crew member from today you will be treated well. Here are some rules you have to follow and all will be well"

"Go take them and lock them, give them food, and someone tell them the rules of this, and yes, prepare them for training, from now on they're Dark Pirates after all"

prince ordered and went to his room...

"Aren't you too harsh? they had already surrendered, then why did you put them in prison? "

kann inquired...

"Ohh my dear kann, you just don't understand the mindset of these people..."

I had already decided to take them in my crew but I pretended that i set them free, but now they think they joined me on their own and that's how they will be loyal to me forever"

"great...i thought you are a child but your thinking is lke a adult and you behave like a experienced person "

kann said while try to hug prince

'hehehe, of course i am an experienced person..I don't know how many novels, how many manga I have read, I don't know myself.

it's all being used now'

.

.

.

soon they reached their destination

Although it was an island without any name, but prince named it

  'The first island'

"Get ready everyone we have reached our destination...."

The island appeared on the horizon as a hazy blur at first, but as the ships drew closer,

its features became clearer and more defined.

It was a small island, with lush green foliage covering its entire surface.

Tall palm trees swayed gently in the breeze, their fronds rustling softly in the wind.

As Everybody approached, they could see that the island was surrounded by a pristine white sand beach, with crystal-clear water lapping at its edges. The water was a brilliant turquoise color, and one could see schools of colorful fish swimming just below the surface.

As the dark pirates drew even closer, they could see that the interior of the island was dominated by a towering mountain range,

with steep cliffs and jagged peaks rising up into the clouds.

A dense jungle covered the lower slopes of the mountains, with vines and creepers snaking their way through the underbrush.

As they made their way around the island, they could see that it was home to a wide variety of wildlife.

Flocks of brightly colored parrots flitted through the trees, their calls echoing across the island.

Monkeys swung from branch to branch, chattering and screeching at the approach. And on the beach, everybody could see giant sea turtles making their way slowly across the sand, leaving deep tracks in their wake.

Despite its beauty, there was a sense of wildness and danger about the island.

The steep cliffs and dense jungle hinted at the presence of hidden dangers and unknown threats.

People who did evil things used to come here...so the prince decided to hide his ships.

He opened the map of the island and found a hiding place.

"ok guys...go around the island from the east" prince ordered...

After some time they arrived a place it was the part where mountains were situated..

there was a half moon shape mountain.

this was a good hiding place...

They stopped their ships and started disembarking one by one....
