The legends say there are two invincible ships: the elusive White Phantom, and the deadly Black Reaper. No storm, cannon, or magical attack can even attempt to damage their hulls, much less even think about sinking the vessels. Cannonballs bounce off if their hulls, and monstrous waves miles tall cannot overwhelm them. Large rocks break at their mere touch.
Travis is a shipbuilder's son who wants to become a craftsman and carve wooden figures to sell all over the world. However, his father sends him off on a fishing vessel to become a sailor.
When his ship sinks, Travis finds himself aboard a beautiful white ship with a silver sea serpent figurehead named Paragon. He soon learns the ship harbors a secret, the ship is alive. Paragon needs a captain to negotiate trades, and offers Travis the position.
Will he accept?
What other secrets are lurking out of the open ocean?
This story occurs after my other story, "A Dragon's Ruin," but is not a sequel. You do not have to read anything else to be able to enjoy this!

Uncaught Bluff (Trafalgar Law x Reader, Ace x Reader)
You've always played the hand you were dealt: fighting to survive Enies Lobby, breaking free from Impel Down, and holding tight to a dream that died with the Former Captain of the Spade Pirates. Ace was more than fire and freedom. He was your wild card, your unexpected chance at something real. And when the sea took him, it felt like the game ended. But fate isn't done shuffling. You find yourself aboard a new ship, under the quiet command of Trafalgar Law, the enigmatic Captain of the Heart Pirates. He's calculated where Ace was reckless, guarded where Ace was open, but somehow, you see yourself reflected in him... another player holding too much pain behind a careful face. What begins as survival turns into something riskier: trust, healing, and the slow, staggering possibility of love. Now, the cards are on the table. You've already lost your ace. But maybe - just maybe - you're holding a heart worth playing for. [Slightly a harem because you're cute.] [Spoiler Warnings will be included before each Chapter (if applicable). This story will take place after the Marineford Arc, linger in the two-year timeskip, and eventually explore later Arcs.

A Compilation of Fantasy Concepts
A high-pitched, pain-stricken scream. Like a hawk. That was the sound that echoed through the gloomy sky that evening. The furious clouds banged their drums and distributed fireworks in preparation of the godly tantrum to come, animals of the forest safely tucked away in their little homes. Everything was so quiet until the hawk. A large bird of sorts, you saw it, falling from the sky. Except that it soon errupted into light, like flames, like a meteor. Like a shooting star that was strayed by attraction through gravity in its passage from the east to the west. What you'll find here is just about that. Title says it all. A bunch of roleplay starters from my sophomore year of High School. I hope they may bring you joy and inspiration, in some shape or form. If you like any of these, please do tell. I'd love to go through with any of these, but I haven't yet found somebody willing to read...Complete

Black Butler: The Lich's Compass
In the heart of the Caribbean, amidst the lush rainforest of Puerto Rico, a young and enigmatic captain named Marisol Colón leads a cargo ship under the Phantomhive business. At just sixteen years old, she carries the weight of an ancient gift-and curse-from the Taino God of Death, Guayaba. Her immortality, granted for her unwavering dedication to her heritage, has made her both a formidable force and a mysterious figure. But Marisol's fate intertwines with Ciel Phantomhive and Sebastian Michaelis as they uncover dark secrets lurking beneath the sugar trade and the true cost of power. As they venture through the island's history and folklore, they encounter the haunting legends of brujas, chupacabras, and the spirits of those who were lost to colonial oppression. But there is more to Marisol than meets the eye-her connection to the gods, her lineage, and her battle with the very forces that seek to control the land's blood-soaked history. In The Lich's Compass, join Ciel, Sebastian, and Marisol on an unforgettable journey into the past, where the line between the living and the dead is blurred. With each step, the past unveils itself, and Puerto Rico's rich history and culture come alive-from the Taino people's ancient rituals and struggles against colonization to the dark secrets hidden in the shadows of sugar plantations. Learn about Puerto Rican history and its vibrant culture, steeped in resilience and the spirit of those who fought to keep their traditions alive. But beware: the journey may lead you to truths that are better left hidden-and to a Lich who is as much protector as she is a product of tragedy. Will the Phantomhives survive the cursed legacy of the island? Or will they become part of its haunting history forever?Complete
Venture to Uncertainty (#1)
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.

LET ME PROTECT YOU [Ace X fem! reader]
"After you're done with everything here on this island. Would you like to maybe- join our crew? For real this time." Ace's eyes light up with hope. "I don't think I'll make it before you leave-" You look away, not bearing to face his piercing stare anymore. "I can wait!" he interrupts, letting go of your hand as quickly as he took it. "I mean uhh... me and the crew... we can wait for you," he stutters out. "This place seems pretty cool. I wouldn't mind staying here for a few more days." "We'll see," you softly chuckle in an attempt to hide your blank eyes. "I mean, who else is supposed to save you when you're halfway beaten to death?" Hearing his halfhearted laugh sent a striking pain through your chest. You swallow hard to keep a sob from escaping your throat as you realise this might be the last time you ever hear it. Tears roll down your cheeks, blurring your vision as you lock eyes with the freckled man you've been dreaming about for the past months. The familiar warmth tingles on your skin as he gently cups your face, his thumb carefully wiping away the tears on your cheek. Without breaking your gaze he leans in closer and whispers, "I don't want to be saved by anybody else, y/n." Ace x fem reader Started September 10th 2024 disclaimers! I do not own the cover art.

Captain Seraphine Vale
(COMPLETED SHORT STORY) They call me Captain Seraphine, and the Moonfang answers only to me. I don't sail for glory. I don't sail for gold. I sail to find what killed my father. He died chasing a treasure buried deep in the sea - a place the sane don't go. The Forbidden Abyss. I've never been accused of being sane. Gods, my mother is a witch and my father a pirate. Orric. My second-in-command. Loyal, lethal, and handsomely irritating. He watches me like he knows what I'm hiding. Follows me like he'd walk into hell at my side. I need his blade - not his smirk. And definitely not the way he says my name when no one else is listening. I can't afford distractions. Not when something in the Abyss is waiting for me. Calling me by name. And promising I won't leave the same woman I was when I entered.Complete
✔THE STING (onc-19)
Kai is a slave, like any other person on board the ship, RMZ-1588. His simple life demands nothing more than a bucket of sweat and a bowl full of tasteless gruel to stay alive. And then there is his little sister- ChuChip, his angel, his breath, his soul. To keep her happy, a made-up fable is enough, she'd go on listening to them forever. All of this is about to change, when he starts seeing and hearing weird things, far more weirder than his wildest fantasies. At first people think that he is suffering from sea-madness. Of course he is not a lunatic talking to a fish, or is he? ________________________________________________ "To me, it's like an ocean themed Narnia." - Ladysapphire2018 "The plot is really intriguing and I want to know what happens next.
