Riptide (PirateJunkratXFem.Reader)

This is certainly not how you had imagined enlisting onto a pirate ship, getting kidnapped in broad daylight after your own mother abandoning you. Hah, if they knew they were dragging along a women they wouldn't dare doing something like this. In a sense, they had doomed themself, what a beautiful irony. Bringing a girl aboard was equal to bringing a demon or death itself, so this was bound to be interesting.

The ship you were taken to was a almost impressive enough to make your jaw drop a bit, you knew a little something about ships from the sailors that visited the bar, and you knew a British Man-O-war when you saw one. These ships were quite literally designed to root out and destroy the Spanish fleets and pirates alike, more often than not succeeding by a landslide.

Many a pirate, including Bartholomew Roberts and Blackbeard, lost their lives at the hand of a British warship captain. Capturing a ship of that impressive caliber was a true feat even under pirates, especially one this well in shape. Glancing at the peg legged man walking slightly in front of you, it was hard to wrap your head around that someone like him could pull of such a demanding stunt, maybe you underestimated this willowy madman more than you would be comfortable with. God forbid that bastard was actually a decent pirate.

Turning your attention back to the imposing three main masts were ornamented with each four scarlet sails as you were carried aboard. You estimated it to be about 200 feet long and support a battery of about 124 cannons. The layout was four at the bow, eight at the stern and 56 on each broadside, you were good with quick counting. These kinds ships were slow and bulky, however when they got hit you with a successful broadside it was game over. With this beats of a ship, most every ship battle was a safe victory, well; if you didn't run into any infamously violent, monsters or cursed pirates on your way that was.

"She's a real beauty eh?" A sudden scratchy voice calls you out of your observations, making you flinch up a bit as as you glare at the blond man bitterly. "Y-Yeah, she is a magnificent piece of engineering...Too bad she belongs to scum like you." You snarl at the captain who still scanned over your frame in amusement as his right-hand man throws you down against the decks planks hard enough to make you shriek in pain.

"Don't get snappy now mate, ya are not in the position t' get sassy with me." The Aussie coos, still unimpressed by your attitude as he takes a wide step closer to you, seemingly entertained by your gasping and whimpering as you tried to rise to your feet; that attempt however being desisted by a swift kick in the guts making you retch ungainly as you curl up on the spot, spitting up a mouthful of bile. You noticed the rest of the crew gathering around in a circle formation curiously by now, seemingly equally amused with your helpless squirming and cursing as their wretched captain.

"Her names "Infernal Zephyr", just for your general information, ya better start worshipping that name cuz it's gonna be ya prison and life until ya kick the bucket." The aussie murmurs down to you with a painful gloating voice, pushing the heavy pegleg base into your guts in order to pin you down against the deck as degradingly as possible, only to the further enjoyment of the laughing crew that was now flocked around the scene. You stare up at the captain with a dark scowl, still trying to free yourself and just make a quick run for it, you weren't prepared to die on this ship.

Not because of this nutcase anyway. "Cursed son of a bitch, I'll make you pay for this. Just wait and see." You snap at him with raucous voice, chewing down on your lower lip to hold back tears of frustration. But even if you despised it, deep down you knew this was probably better than staying on Tortuga for one more day.

Hell, anything was better than that, you had nothing to hold you on that island of personal despair and regret. On a place where not even your mother could love you, being kidnapped and probably killed by pirates sounded like a amusement park. At least now you had what you wanted, you were on a pirate ship, a majestic one at that...
