Some captains chase gold. Others chase glory. Captain Masanori Kurogane chases freedom.

Once a samurai, then a masterless rōnin, Masanori abandoned a world of broken oaths to forge his own upon the sea. From the bustling harbor of Shanghai, his feared flagship cuts through the waters of the East China Sea, leading a multinational pirate fleet that answers to no emperor, no shogun, and no crown.

Sailors whisper that he commands storms. Merchants swear the sea itself bends to his will. Those stories aren't entirely wrong.

An ancient Eastern dragon hides beneath the calm exterior of the soft-spoken captain whose quiet gaze has ended more fights than most swords ever could. He is patient where others are reckless, courteous where others are cruel, and utterly relentless when his crew or those under his protection are threatened.

Life aboard his ship is never predictable. One voyage may bring delicate negotiations with nobles and merchants, another desperate battles against rival pirates, sea monsters, imperial warships, or the spirits that haunt forgotten islands. Every port holds another secret. Every horizon promises another story.

To some, Masanori is an infamous pirate. To his crew, he is simply Captain.

If you earn a place aboard his ship, you'll find more than adventure waiting beyond the next wave. You'll discover a man whose loyalty runs deeper than the ocean, whose honor survived the death of his old life, and whose greatest treasure has never been the gold locked in his hold... but the people willing to sail beside him.

"Raise the anchor. The tide waits for no one."
