Chapter 1

Somewhere in the middle of the raging Roguish sea a gorgeous beauty gently sailed under the serene starry skies. The roaring waves bashed against her smooth russet hull but the ship sailed with great stability unfazed by these insignificant waves.

Her sails were pearl white with a vivid overbearing vermillion dragon fluttering with the cool sea breeze creating a picturesque scene worthy of a priceless painting. The inky starry night engulfed the vast sea darkness with the only source of light coming from the infamous Red Bane with multiple lanterns lighting up its deck like a Christmas tree.

A few crew members were gathered around a creaky table rolling dice subsequently hauling insults at each other. One cultured brawny pirate who had been fully engrossed in a book suddenly yelled at them to quiet down as they were disturbing his reading time.

The group would have taunted him for even reading a book but considering the man's giant body twice their size, they piped down quietly rolling the dice like high schoolers passing notes in class in fear of being caught by the teacher. The most curious out of them walked over to see what this giant was so attentive to.

Expecting to see some complicated scholarly book with confusing words, the skinny pirate peered at the book. He was stunned when he saw beautifully drawn pictures with cloud-like circles filled with words floating on the lively figures. "What the **** is this? Here I was thinking Big Hei was planning on writing the imperial exam," said the brazen man leaning in to take a closer look.

The giant named Big Hei smacked the back of the mouthy bastard's head scolding him, "Don't be so disrespectful. Young master Ji Yao drew this by hand. He says it's called a comic," without taking his eyes off the masterpiece in his hand.

"Really," said the skinny pirate just as the others crowded around Big Hei to see what their young master created. Ji Yao was actually the Pirate King Ji Wen's only son. He was handsome, smart, powerful and in their eyes perfect in every aspect except talking.

The teenager wasn't mute or anything, he just didn't like to talk. He did more fighting than he did talking choosing to blast lightning at whoever was stupid enough to offend him. That is to say his temper was also terrible.

This comic was possibly the only thing that shed light on this boy's character hiding underneath that shell. This is why a group of six men squeezed in to catch a glimpse of this rare treasure.While their eyes were glued on this piece of art, the subject of their fascination was seated in the captain's cabin flipping through an old tattered book with his father peeling an apple on the opposite end of the table.

From the way, he was peeling the apple you could tell he was trying to provoke some form of reaction from his OCD son. The knife dug deep into the flesh of the apple peeling off the skin with a good portion of the juicy flesh.
