Kidnapped At Sea

Chapter •2•

Shoto woke up, he looked around to see nothing but a dark cell, outside it was a bunch of hammoks, pillows and die blankets. Shoto slowly came to his senses and groggily looked around his surroundings. He quickly realized that he was in a cell. He began to process his situation and recalled his memories from before he passed out. He was watching those pirates and suddenly those other two came and knocked him out. He shifted in his restraints, attempting to get a better look around the cell and figure out exactly where he was, the ship rocked gently, back and forth,Shoto quietly took note of the rocking of the ship, it was a familiar feeling that he had felt before. Obviously it was a ship, but how far out at sea were they? Judging by the swaying, they must be pretty far from land. He tugged at his restraints once more, trying to see if he could loosen them in any way, but they didn't budge.He took a few deep breaths to calm himself and clear his head, trying to think of a way to escape. The only way he could get out of this situation is if someone untied him or if he could manage to break the ropes somehow. He continued to tug at his restraints, hoping that they would eventually loosen or break. But what was the point? He was clearly on a ship, tens maybe thousands of kilometres from home...

Suddenly footsteps were coming towards him, a woman appeared, she was in red velvet and a deep shade of red clothing, black, a matching hat, boots and cherry red hair, a long sword in her belt and she had this large toothy smile

"You must be Prince Shoto Todoroki.... When me first hand told's me we had a guest I didn't expect it to be a royal, pardon, I shoulda' sprucened up before comin' down er'"

She spoke as she bowed, Shoto lifted his head to look at the woman that had suddenly appeared in front of his cell. He was taken slightly off guard by her entrance and her mannerisms, but he kept a stoic look on his face and stared at her silently. As she spoke her words, his eyes quickly darted down to her sword, taking note of the blade. She smiled,

"not much af a talker are ye? Don't worry, we won't kill yea, your to much of value for et, "

Shoto continued to silently stare at the woman in front of him, his eyes never leaving hers. She mentioned again that they wouldn't kill him, and that he was too 'valuable'. So they plan on using him for something? He wanted to ask questions, but he couldn't risk saying something that could worsen his situation. He just continued staring at her, his expression calm and stoic. The woman then slapped her head lightly

" ahh, were are me mannars? I'm captain Mikasa Tetsutetsu of the great ship The Shapeshifter, or if ye may know me on the wanted player's as Mikasa the Mighty"

Shoto's eyes widened slightly in surprise upon hearing her name. Captain Mikasa? This woman is the captain of the ship? He had heard of her before, a well-known pirate with a fearsome reputation. She was known as 'Mikasa the Mighty' and had a bounty on her head. However, she seemed surprisingly... pleasant? He took a deep breath silently and stared at her, wondering what her intentions were, Mikasa sighed as she grabbed a stool, and sat down

 "You really not gonna talk? All I wanted was a wee lill chat"

Shoto maintained his stoic expression and stared up at Mikasa, still not saying a word. He continued to listen quietly, contemplating on whether or not it would be safe to speak. Eventually, he caved.

"...What do you want to talk about?"

He said with a low, calm tone.

 "Haha! I knew ye could talk, now down to buisness, as yea know, you walked in on me crew on your island making a deal with a shopkeep, you also followed them almost to a cave in a fully we hid our ship in, now if you'z was a normal' old husband's is kill ye in a heartbeat. But your the youngest son of king Enji..."
