Chapter 1:- I'm Going To Kill The Useless Richard

Seated in his leather chair, the one-eyed sea wolf gazed callously at the flickering images on the television as it blared with the latest breaking news.

"Fellow citizens,it is with a heavy heart that I bring you news of a tragic incident on the high seas. A cruise ship carrying prominent individuals, including the daughter of our esteemed president, was recently attacked and seized by a group of ruthless pirates. The situation remains unclear but we can only pray for the safety and swift return of those involved."

The words struck him like a cannonball of revelation, sparking a wicked grin across his cruel features. His twisted mind whirred with schemes and plans, for he knew this was an opportunity too tempting to resist.

"Ahoy, what a mighty fine day it be, a true treasure in and of itself, my ticket to a paradise of plunder and booty, aye!"

As the pirate captain mused over his plans, a sudden knock at the door disrupted his thoughts.

With a scowl and a crusty voice he yelled,

"Enter if you dare!" The door creaked open slowly, revealing a nervous crewmate ready to deliver news.

"Speak, what urgent matter brings you here? I have no time for idle chatter."

The crewmate hesitating a bit, reports to the captain. "Captain, we have received word from our informant about the ship we seek to raid, it set sail tomorrow night at 23:00."

As the crewmate delivers the news, a wide grin spreads across the pirate captain's face, his eyes gleaming with excitement. He throws back his head and let's out a hearty laugh, slapping his hand on the table in satisfaction.

"Aye, this be music to my ears! now lad, we must adjust our plans and be ready to strike at the perfect moment. Tonight, we will celebrate our good fortune, but tomorrow, we will be ready to make our moves."

"While the Earth-bounders be searching high and low for the president's daughter, I will be making the most of my opportunity to strike at their vessels, swift and unsuspecting as a storm on the horizon. Hoist the sails and prepare for adventure."

The pirate captain's celebration were cut short as the crewmate hesitantly approached him.

"Captain, I have some important news about the ship we are about to raid," he began, dread clear in his voice.

"The ship is captained by none other than the useless captain, Richard Rawlings."

The pirate captain felt a flicker of distress as he absorbed this new information "Rawlings! that bloody bastard."

"Captain, this should be rather too easy, he's rumoured to be very foolish."

"This will definitely be an easy fight, Richard is a scumbag, I will tear him to pieces." The pirate captain mused.

The pirate captain's greed and ambition soon overpowered any reservations he had, his determination stiffened.

"I swear on my mother's watery grave, I will drench that cursed scumbag called Richard in his own blood and feed his scurvy corpse to the sharks."

Just as the pirate captain finished his blood chilling oath, his crewmate face lit up with a mischievous smile. "Captain, there be a comely beautiful lady waiting to speak with ya."

The pirate captain raised an eyebrow in interest, a sly smirk tugged at the corners of his mouth but he quickly dismissed any distractions and focused on the task at hand.

"Well, it would be downright rude to keep her waiting, send her in" he commanded, settling into his chair with a calculative expression.

A woman with a striking appearance walked in, exuding an air of wealth and confidence. Her well tailored attire hinted at her prosperous background, while the determined glance in her blue eyes spoke of a fierce intelligence that concealed her soft blonde curls.

She carried herself with elegance, and the captain couldn't help but feel a mix of curiousity and respect as he greeted her, wondering what business this influential woman could have with a pirate like him.

"Well, well, if it isn't the fairest maiden to ever grace my abode! what's a lovely lady like you doing in my quarters, if I may ask?" the captain said, his tone jovial yet surprised at the unusual sight of such beauty.

With her sweet seductive voice she said, "Captain, it is an honor to finally meet you. I have heard so much about your exploits as sea wolf and your prowess is quite impressive."

"And who might you be lass?"

"My name is Scarlett Rawlings, I'm Richard Rawlings wife."

The captain's eyes snapped wide open as he listened, the realization hit him like a grenade blast. He blinked rapidly, trying to process the unbelievable sight before him, his mind struggling to reconcile reality with the shock, a mixture of fright and fluster wash over his face as he sputtered in disbelief.
