Detective James Baron became an outlaw after asking the wrong questions. After four years of running on land, he finds a new opportunity in becoming a pirate. The old man at the ship's helm tells tales of a sea of mysteries; the Terminus. Intrigued and left without any other options, James sets out, bringing with him the five people who did not disembark.
  
  On his journey across the ocean, he grows stronger, builds the trust and size of his crew, and discovers that his world is full of magic, chaos, superpowers, monsters, advanced technology, and more. As he endeavours to solve as many mysteries that present themselves, he learns to appreciate the thrill of adventure and the unpredictable nature of life.

Children of the Dead by Pretzel1226

Enver Williams is leading on a normal life but that is all ripped away from her when she is taken from her home town. When Enver comes to realize that there are others like her in more ways than one, she is determined to free herself and her newfound friends from the physiological torment of her closely supervised enclosure. ••• "Do I make you nervous, Enver?" Another idiotic question. "Wouldn't the man who kidnapped you and threatened to kill you make you nervous?" I snap at him. He only smiles an odd, crooked grin. I can make that disappear. "Wouldn't a murder make you nervous?" Now it's my turn to pull the strings. He looks at me with hurt in his eyes. "How many times do I have to say it?" He pauses, I guess hoping for some sort of mercy in my eyes, "I didn't kill her." "Liar!" I shout. "Why won't you believe me?!" "Would you believe yourself?" "It wasn't me who shot her," he sits on a stool, resting his elbows on his knees. "Then how do you know she was shot?" "I saw it. I saw him kill her," his voice was riddled with such pure vulnerability and pain it begged me to believe him. "Who?" I try to sound sympathetic, but it comes out as scared. Maybe, subconsciously, I am scared.

The Sole Prince by cheddarandcheese

[ Only the ocean can bring a prince and a pirate together, only the sea can keep their secrets, and only the waves can tear them apart. ] [ COMPLETED - 80K Words] [ LGBT Historical Romance ] [ FEATURED ] James Serrio is supposed to be a prince, not a prisoner rotting away in the bottom of a pirate ship. His future was royalty, not death in a grimy hunk of wood, but it seems that fate had a different plan. Just when things couldn't seem to get worse, another ship attacks, and James is starting his prisoner journey all over again. But these new pirates are different, to say the least, especially Sage Morrow, the captain, with his black coat, gold buttons, sharp jawline, and steel-blue eyes. There's something about the captain that reminds James of a fire on a cold day. And, there's something about the new prisoner that reminds Sage of home. But there are more important things for James to focus on than a man, like the fact he's somewhere on the vast ocean, in a ship full of hungry pirates, with nothing more than a necklace and a quick brain to call his own. The Sole Prince is the story of James Serrio and Sage Morrow, and their consequential fate after running into each other smack dab in the middle of nowhere.

Stranded - A Pirate's Tale - part 1 by OliverPrattAuthor

There is nothing worse for a pirate than dying on dry land. Except, maybe, swinging two feet above it. When their captain is imprisoned, facing the gallows, the men and women of the Lady Lesya's crew will try everything to break him out--even if it means fighting guards in ridiculous uniforms, bargaining with overweight monsters, and risking the life of the more or less innocent. Add vengeful local thugs, a mysterious killer with a grudge, and some unexpected ghosts to this already perilous task, and the streets of Puerto Seguro turn into a bloodbath. To get out of the town alive, the brethren of the coast will have to act not just as a crew, but as a family. ___________________ As it's a pirate story not created by Disney, expect strong language, violence, gore, and allusion to sex. But also humor, strong characters, and a touch of love. The story, three years and a half in the making, is now complete (and under revision). ____________________ Magnificent cover by @Tweeter109 Awesome headers by @FayLane

Legends of Sora (Book 1: Fate & Fortune) by brocsewell

Sora is a floating world torn by ancient disaster, where oceans are memory, lands drift like clouds, and pirates rule the air above a shadowy central core, the Darksky. Valeo wields luck easier than common sense. Breeze is a balancing act on the headsman's axe between serenity and unquenchable fury. Two urban acrobats who find solace in each others' company and a dream shared: joining up with a Corsair crew to adventure across the world like Drassiter and Fareday, the two most notorious pirates that ever lived. Those plans are thrown into overdrive at the arrival of a mysterious captain knowing more than he should about Valeo's missing family, especially when hot on his heels stalk The Fallen-keepers of the dead thought to be only legend-who seek Valeo for the secrets hidden in his heritage. With everything they've ever known now burning around them, pursued by terrifying creatures that cannot die, these two friends must adventure across the skies alongside a patchwork band of thieves, complete a 1,000-year heist gone awry, and unravel the ancient secret that just might save their world from crumbling into Darksky forever.

Venture to Uncertainty (#1) by tarishannon18

It's a deadly plan, and it goes like this: First, become a crew member of the Avourienne, a pirate ship notorious for its charismatic captain and wicked ways. Second, trick the ship's cunning strategist, famous for winning every game she's ever played, into believing a delicately spun lie. Third, get close enough to their tyrant king to put a knife through him. Deadly doesn't quite describe such a plan. In fact, inconceivable may be the better word. But Archer Kingsley has a knack for such things, and he feels he's going to pull off this plan with the ease he does most everything. Perhaps he's not quite aware of the absolute hell that's about to break loose, but truthfully, it's so much better that way. Because true adventures are born from uncertainty. * Cover by xxsoteria Mature themes you may encounter in this book: - harsh language (it's a pirate book) - violence (it's a pirate book) - sexual implications (it's a PIRATE book) However, this story does not violate any of Wattpad's mature guidelines and therefore is not marked as such.

As A Stranger Or A Friend?: The Swallow And The Drowned Sailor by thesmolwriter45

Divided against the wishes of fate, a pair of unlikely friends or, perhaps, strangers find themselves at opposite ends of Oepus and of an uncharacteristic longing. The wheels of consequence begin to turn, plunging the world into a bloody darkness unlike any other, begging the question: what is the worth of a single life? Scattered by the harsh designs of reality, Axtapor and Mariel are forced to confront the aftermath of runaway hopes. A new struggle begins to take shape as their worlds narrow around them, and the reprieve of dreams becomes newly alluring... Directionless, they descend into the deepest parts of the mind, grasping at fate in search of the truth. But they are not the only ones searching for answers. Elsewhere on the seas of Oepus float, Captain Fay Anara and her Quartermaster, the famed Son of The Moon. Voracious, the two set sail upon the Mirage for their most ambitious pillage yet. Their take? The high seas themselves. But when the long arm of fate intervenes, reality warps, memories begin to fail, and things take a turn for the worst. And somewhere, a wailing can be heard. Faintly, faintly, a cursed door swings open once more, shattering the notions of what is and isn't possible. Are you brave enough to step through? *Contains mature themes, such as violence, gore, body horror, sexual content, and offensive/triggering language, please read with care and at your own discretion.*

Ring World, Volume 1 by Thisguyisyou

Rings: symbolic of eternity, continuance, and the cyclical nature of reality - Ring World is, at its core, a story of two people. Paracelsus, a young man, an alchemist and a former revolutionary, and Serpacinno, the last surviving member of her people, and staunch, no nonsense swordswoman. Together, they form an unstoppable team, sure to change the world. After a chance encounter at a bar, these two form the beginnings of a crew, picking up the odds and ends of society along the way on their quest. What is their quest? To head to the center of each shell (large, target-like structures found on each face of the earth), and collect the treasure that lies there - a piece of a legendary sword, named Kósmeidí. Speaking of, the world they find themselves in is one of great magic. Humans aren't alone: animal hybrids, fairies, giants, and even those regarded as angels and demons populate this grand planet. Even the structure itself is different, instead of continents, they find themselves on a world composed of six large land structures, each in the shape of an ever-narrowing series of concentric rings.
