You sat on the bow of your ship, the Sabertooth, while watching the sunset. It was so beautiful, orange sunlight dancing on the water, and a cool breeze blowing in the sticky heat of summer. As you sat, you noticed a ship coming towards yours. It was a ship of... considerable size. You figured that you could slip by it, but minutes later you saw that it was making a beeline for your ship. You panicked, filled with fear.
"(F/N)!" You yell to your friend, who looks up at you from the starboard side, "Man the cannons! We have a ship approaching on the port side!" (F/N) gave you a salute, and alerted the others.
"Man the cannons, crew!" Yells (F/N), "Captain (L/N)'s orders!" A resounding "Aye!" Is heard from the crew, along with more yells of orders. This was upsetting. You hadn't ran into another ship since you were off the coast of Havana. You were in no shape to fight, especially not with a ship of that size.
The large ship inched closer and closer to yours, very slowly but certainly surely. You bit on your index nail in frustration, taking deep breaths before coming to your senses.
"Prepare for a scrap, ladies and gents!" You yelled to your crew, "She's a big ship, she is!" Once the ship got close enough to shoot, your crew slipped the cannons out of their hatches. But the other ship did not ready their cannons. Why not?
"Hold your fire!" You yelled to your crew. They obeyed, holding the cannons. The men from the other ship then began boarding onto yours. You grunted under your breath. What a great end to a day.
Suddenly, a man with a hood, who you assumed was their captain, boarded. He removed his hood to show sea blue eyes and blonde hair. The blonde man's crew readied to charge your crew, but the captain stopped them by raising his hand.
"Hold, men! I don't wish to fight, only to parley. I only wish to know the name of the captain, and if he would join me on my ship, the Jackdaw." Said the blonde man, "That is all, then we will take our leave." You frowned, drawing your cutlass from its sheath.
"Actually, sir, the captain is a she." You said, through your teeth. He smiled at you.
"If you could kindly lead me to her, that would be lovely." He said. This made you very angry.
"You're looking at her!" You yelled. The blonde man frowned, studying your body and stature.
"Are you sure?" He asked, earning a loud laugh from his crew.
"My daddy told me never to trust pirates." You told the blonde man, as you turned your cutlass in your hand. He smirked, and drew his cutlass as well.
"Takes one to know one, lass." He said and charged you. Your swords slashed together, making loud clangs, and the rest of the blonde man's crew began to fight with yours.
"You sure can fight, for a female captain." He teased, "I never did get your name, love." You hissed at him, slashing at him in anger.
"The name's Captain (Y/N) (L/N), Captain of the Sabertooth. You talk big, but you fight like a princess!" He smiled smugly, and continued his slashing against you.
"Well, Captain (L/N), I am Captain Edward Kenway. You will join me whether you like it or not." He said, cockily.
"Not over my dead body!" You yell. The sword fight seems to go on forever, until finally he knocks the sword from your hand.
"I will spare you, if you join me." He said, pointing his cutlass at your neck. You grunted.
"Then do I really have a choice?" You asked. He sheathed his sword, and offered you a hand.
"There's plenty of room for all of you on the Jackdaw!" He yelled, and you gathered your valuables into a trunk. You threw them onto his ship, and then boarded. Once all your crew was on Edward's ship, his crew fired their cannons at the Sabertooth. You cringed as your hard work was blown to smithereens and splinters.
Later that night, when the Jackdaw had dropped anchor, you stared up at the stars, sitting on the bow of the ship like you always did on the Sabertooth. All of a sudden, you felt a strong hand touch your shoulder, making you yelp. But the person behind you shushed you, so you closed your mouth. Upon turning around, you saw Edward, sitting just behind you.
"Talk with me, lass." He said, and you inched towards him. To your surprise, he pulled you onto his lap. You soon settled there, however, and it was very comfortable.
"Can you take a guess as to what that constellation is?" You asked him. He shook his head no.
"(Y/N), I'm just a stupid pirate. I give up. What is it?" He said, which made you chuckle.
"It's Orion." You said, "See his belt?" He squinted his eyes, as though he thought that that would make him see it.
"No, I don't see a belt, but if you say it's there, lass, I trust you." He said. You smiled, and took his hand.
"You know what, Kenway?" You asked, "I'm glad you took my ship today." He laughed, and you smiled back.
"I'm glad I did too, (L/N)." He said, and kissed you on the cheek. You turned bright red. He then got up from the bow, and made his way into the Captain's Quarters.
"Hey, (Y/N)!" He called, "Be sure to get some sleep tonight. We have a big day planned tomorrow. Havana awaits!" You smiled back at him.
"Aye aye, Captain!" You said, and with a smile, Edward retired to his quarters, leaving you on the bow, blushing deeply. You said a prayer and began staring again at the stars, laying down, head in your hands.
"What a day." You thought to yourself. You then fell asleep peacefully, with Orion watching over you from the sky.

So that was my fourth one shot (Yippee!). I didn't think this one was too bad. Edward is great, definitely a really well done and even relatable character for some people. By the by, a gigantic tropical storm (named Tropical Storm Florence) is coming RIGHT TOWARDS ME LIKE REALLY FAST AHHH! Not only does the name Florence make me think of Ezio, it also sounds really scary. I'm 90% sure that I heard it's gonna be a category 4! 😰 pls pray for me. That's all for now. Definitely request some more one shots! I'm seriously running out of motivation lol... Bye! ~ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Наташа (Natasha in Russian).
