"Have you heard about the 'ghost ship' from the east?" Arthur turned as he overheard some sailors talking as he headed back to his ship.

"No. I don't recall having heard of it."

"You are talking about the black ship from the eastern empire?" Arthur asked as he approached the men, who turned around to stare at him.

"Yes that one. Have you ever seen it?" asked the leader of the group.

"I have once, but it was a couple years ago. For what I remember it belongs to the emperor of the eastern lands." Arthur replied as he sat down on a crate opposite the leader. "Do you know anything about it?"

"That I do. But tell me, what is your interest in the black ship?"

"To put it simply someone on that ship is in a big debt with me. And any information you can give me will be very useful."

The leader grinned. "Well, well. Now I know who you are. You are Captain Arthur Kirkland, the King of the Western Seas. You and a bunch of others were defeated by the black ship, but you are one of the few that actually made it back alive. Am I right?" Everyone glanced at Arthur, who just narrowed his eyes.

"Yes I am. But do tell how do you know that information?"

"Word spreads fast Captain. And it has been a couple of years since the incident happened. I also know you are Arthur Kirkland, because it is rumored that after you gained control of the Western Seas you have been hunting down the ghost ship."

"Didn't know that those news had reached this part of the West." Arthur replied calmly. It annoyed him that the demise he suffered four years prior had reached this desolate part of the west. And ever since that day he was determined to extract his revenge on the masked captain of the ghost ship. The only thing he remembered was his eyes and the sound of his voice. "Now what information can you give me on the ship?"

"It will be difficult for you to locate the ship, but you already know that," the leader told Arthur. "And it's not because reports on the ship and its whereabouts are unknown. But about six months ago the emperor has added two more black ships. What we do know is that all three black ships contain a unique flag. Each one has a black flag with one symbol on it. The symbols on the flags are a dragon, a tiger, and a crane."

"Do you know which flag belongs to the original ship?"

"That is the one piece of information that I do not know. The original ship disappeared until the other two were added to the fleet. Wish you luck on your journey Captain Kirkland," the leader added as Arthur stood up. Arthur nodded and made his way back to his ship.

'Just you wait,' he thought remembering the brown eyes that shone with a liquid flame, and the calm voice that was pleasing to listen to. 'You'll pay for what you did to me. I'll make sure of it… even if it's the last thing I do."
My first original fanfic! Currently I will be working on this story and the co-lab I am doing with my sister.

So yeah... Arthur got defeated by the captain of the 'ghost ship'. This was before he got the throne of the King of the Western Seas. Wonder what happened that got him so flustered. Oh, well. I will try to update before the end of the week.
