What begins as a dream of freedom... turns into something far greater. Gotze and his childhood friends set sail to explore the world, chasing nothing but freedom and the life they've always wanted. But the further they go, the more they uncover-about themselves, about the world... and the forces that secretly control it. From awakening powerful abilities to facing Marines, warlords, and impossible choices- this is the beginning of the Thunderstrike Pirates. A brotherhood born in chaos. A storm rising from below.
