Chapter 1 - Meeting a Great Pirate!
In a beautiful town close to the sea,a single child was pouting.His hair was pinch black and his eyes were light brown.He was wearing a simple white shirt and blue pants.He was really angry at that moment.
“And I even learned Observation Haki...GRRRR How dares that old man to make me leave my house and put me in this strange town!”
His name was Kuroken.His grandfather forced his to learn Observation Haki just at the age of six.It was crazy!Even Gol.D Roger or Monkey.D Luffy waited for years before having the chance or power to learn haki.But his extreme talent managed to do that just at the age of six!Now he was seven and god knew how strong!
He also had eaten a Devil Fruit.He slowly descended from the mountain he was on but at a road of it he saw a twenty something old person.He was probably in his early twenties.His hair was orange and short while his eyes were blazing red.
He was around 1,88m and at his waist there was a sword and in his back there was also another sword.He was wearing a black cloak and a scar went across his left eye.’Who is he?’Kuroken thought but then jumped before the person.
“What is your name?!”He shouted.The black cloaked man smiled,”Are you lost kid?”Hearing the black cloaked man call him kid made him furious even though he was one,”Answer my question!” Then he finally replied,”Fine,fine.My name is Fukuro,Aka Fukuro,a pirate.”

“Hahaha, a pirate?!”Kuroken laughed loudly.He clearly didn’t believe Fukuro.”You don’t believe me?Then what about this.”He slightly unsheathed his sword located at his waist and a gust of wind quickly cut a tree in two.Kuroken gulped and slowly said,”Oji-san,I believe you.”even with his skills in every haki,He barely saw his movement.If he was a pirate he shouldn’t be from the South Sea or the GrandLine but the New World which now is called Gold World.
“Follow me,I will take you to the city.”Fukuro said and bowed respectly,playing with him.Kuroken remained silent and followed him.After a few hours instead of reaching the city,they went even more far away from it.”What the hell!You are just making us go even farer!”Fukuro felt like going into a corner and crying.Even a child saw that.
Fortunately for him,Kuroken was no ordinary child so no other child expect a few should be able to see through his direction sickness if they are six or five.Suddenly something moved in the bushes.They both were relaxed so before any of them could act a brown bear appeared and tried to bit Kuroken.
“Be careful!” Fukuro unsheathed his sword and the bear was cut in a hundred pieces.Kuroken was left with fear in his eyes.He immediately hugged Fukuro like it was natural.Although he was trained,he was still a child.Children are children,adults are adults.
Suddenly six people started to run towards them from the side they were coming.They all were muscular.One had a mohawk which was red and thick lips.Another had red hair and blue eyes.The other one had crimson hair and green eyes.Another had long silky silver hair and purple eyes.The others were wearing cloaks.

“Captain!”
They all yelled in unison.Fukuro’s face changed to one of happiness.”Ah!”Fukuro said and Kuroken also looked.He looked at the beautiful one-chan,the one with silky long silver hair and purple eyes.But he noticed something behind them.The next moment he didn’t hesitate and ran the opposite way.
“SAVE ME!MONSTER!AAA!”Fukuro raised an eyebrow,”Come on I saved your life.Don’t call me monster!”Kuroken felt like slamming his face on the ground,” I mean there is a monster behind then!”Furoko looked at them and saw a twenty meter’s black bear.”Oh shit...RUN!”They both ran in unison.
But Kuroken was slightly faster.”Defend me!You are an adult you need to protect the children!”Fukuro shouted,”Don’t joke with me!But then…”He stopped running turned back and unsheathed his sword.Poof,poof,poof.The twenty meters black bear no longer lived.
Mazir’s jaw reached the ground and his eyes almost came out.”A-a-am-Amazing!Ojji-san I never knew you were so powerful!”Furoko crossed his hands,”Of course I am! I am the
Great Pirate Emperor,Sword Beast,Aka Furoko!”
“Ojji-san,for a moment you looked cool there.”For Fukuro,these words seemed like a hammer.”Urgh,you mean I was never cool before?!”Kuroken laughed,”Of course you weren’t!You think two swords are cool?You old timer!”Fukuro’s strength faded away as he fell on the ground but before that the silver haired one-chan saved him.”Captain!”She yelled.
“Is he dead?”The mohawk guy asked nervously.”Of course not!”The onee-chan shouted.She checked his pulse and then sighed a breath.”He is still alive…”The mohawk guy teased,”What,if he was dead would you die with him?” The onee-chan took out a pistol from her belt and shot.But each bullet were stopped by a finger.”That is not good…”
But the mohawk guy in his mind was sweating,”That was close...If I was just a half a second later I may had died...It is her fault to play with so many weapons...As expected of our doctor and strongest female in the crew…”
“Are you okay..Mister Not cool?” Kuroken teased Fukuro who instantly woke up.I am not a mister not cool!

Contact First
2039 - Earth A narrow beam energy signal appeared aimed squarely at earth from the TRAPPIST system. The communication consisted of a layered set of repeating data over several thousand wavelengths. Over the next few months scientists discovered that the lower wavelengths carried an encoded numerical language which could then be used to interpret the more complicated messages carried on the higher wavelengths. After half a year of painstaking work the signal was fully decoded. It described a small satellite launched along a precise trajectory towards the fourth planet of our solar system. Included was a package of advanced research that humanity would need to have ready in order to receive the satellite and decelerate it safely. The alien data provided the kick that humanity needed to turn from petty squabbling and unite to explore the final frontier. Major government and corporate leaders worked together to create the framework for the United Federation of Sol. UFS spaceports went from scaffolding to daily launches in every major city around the globe. Ships floated like dandelion seeds, spreading on solar wind to grow into colonies. 2397 - Mars orbit, Egeria Station The command center was a hive of activity as checks were conducted and systems initialized. Scientists flitted by like mayflies as communicators beeped and holoscreens spat out green tinted readouts. Nervous energy was thick in the air as everyone anticipated the culmination of over three hundred years of work. Massive fusion reactors under the planet's surface thrummed with barely restrained power as energy fed into a gleaming metallic maze criss crossing the planet. Metal fingers reached up, overshadowing the mighty olympus mons and trying to grab the stars. All over the solar system, people quickly turned to look as gigantic energy lances shot from the dusty fourth planet. Two years later. The same people that clapped loudly at the successful activation of project Hermes now wait with baited breath. A silver capsule trailing bright photonic sails is captured by a net of grav beams and guided with care bordering on reverence into the station. Holoscreens across the headquarters project an image of the sleek craft settling in the bay. Data connections are established and the holoscreens blink to white. Slowly an image forms on the screen. Across the headquarters people stare in wonder as a wholly alien face stares back. "Contact established. Welcome to the universe."

Rimward Bound
Every citizen of the sky-cities of His Majesty's Star-Empire knows that a ship, both sky- and star-, is more then just a few bits of metal. It is the grand sum of it's hull and the crew that sail it. 'Hulls of battle-steel and men to match!' That's what the Navy's recruitment poster's claim at least. Every sailor knows that there is one more component that the city-bound folk ignore at their own peril: the soul of the ship. That it takes both man and hull to make a true ship, and that neither alone serve well or for long. In 8225 Lord Jeffrye Saltonstall the Fourth, Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps, demands semi-automated ships to 'reduce the loss of life among our brave crews', manages to convince the other politicians and bureaucrats to fund them, and gets the Office of Ship Construction to sign off on the ships as structurally sound. Dockyard workers shake their heads at the ships, muttering that they are cursed from birth, even as construction drags on. In 8230 the Explorer, first of her class, is launched. She sets out in 8233 to great fanfare on a trip expected to last six months. Neither she nor her twelve-person crew is ever heard from again. By 8235, the remaining seven Explorers are are commissioned. Lord Saltonstall managed to find crews for six of them but at the cost of mass resignations. The Night Horse, last of the Explorer class, sat in reserve as her sister-ships served well enough despite ill luck and misfortune. The Office of Ship Construction quietly issues notice that no more semi-automated ships are to be built and that all active Semi-automated ships are to be quietly retired and broken up for scrap over the next ten years. The Night Horse, sitting in reserve, is missed due to bureaucratic oversight. In 8250 Lord Ayland Wynstryngham the Eighth assumes the office of Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps. His first act is to issue notice that no ship is to be without crew nor sit in dock or reserve for longer then required for maintenance and upkeep. The Night Horse, all but forgotten, is quietly brought back into active service. Recruiting a crew for her proves another matter entirely. What poor or desperate fool would willingly sign on to crew, much less command, a cursed ship and spend months or years in deep space? Well, you would, of course. Where else is a kid from the gutters going to find that kind of freedom in the service of His Majesty? A [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] 2021. Warnings: Second person is used in this work. Semi-Polished draft: Posted chapters are subject to revision as needed as things progress. Mild Profanity on occasion.
