Things hit a hitch as I knocked out more than a thousand British soldiers escaping the capital. The port blew just after we left and all the ports around Britain with it. It was quite the spectacle and halted more than trade. Several dozen man o wars were destroyed and half a dozen were taken by my men in the TenRings with the unconscious British soldiers left on longboats. Even the ports had no one around them and the ships were barely manned.
It was still a loss, but an acceptable one. We made it to Nassau on a TR merchant ship and with the half dozen British war ships, it was a cause for celebration on the pirate's part. My men left on the merchant ship without a word and I headed to Spain to do some serious damage. I ran into Hornigold and took his head before killing half his crew.
The rest turned pirate and joined me in taking our prizes, Spanish war ships. We took every prize between there and Spain before I sent half the men with tied ships to Nassau two dozen war ships were underway shortly. After that the rest of us set fire to the ports and I got to kill a few demons feeding on the chaos. We parted ways after I took another ten ships back to Nassau and left them in the cove.
I met with Eleanor and told her that I was done and I'd saved her because we were friends. I left and told her I'd not return to Nassau or England again. She asked if I'd go to the colonies and I shook my head, telling her where Max was, waiting on her decision to retire now that Nassau had it's best shot. I told her she could go back and say I'd kidnapped her and done all that because of a love that died in me, but they'd do what they will with Woodes Rogers dead.
I left Nassau with Idelle and Anne Bonney. We left on my small ship and I raised a Ten Rings flag. Anne asked if I was looking to piss the TR shipping magnet off because it was their flag. I chuckled as we came across one such vessel and boarded their ship.
I held up a medallion and showed it to the captain who called me grandmaster as he and all the men stood saluting me with fists over their hearts. I turned to the former whore with Anne and told them. "I made the Ten Rings organization long ago. I was merely blowing off steam as a pirate because if I don't every few centuries, I'll forget what it feels like to be human."
The captain spoke up. "The ship is yours grandmaster. We were on a return trip to Virginia."
I waved him off. "Cut the lines to the smaller ship and sink it. Then continue on our course. Send word that I've returned from my walkabout and bring the ladies to the cabin to settle in. When we make land, I want a full report of all that's happened in the last century."
He bowed respectfully and I headed to the captains cabin after watching the smaller ship sink with a single cannon shot. I told Anne and Idelle that I was an immortal human with unique abilities before telling them of demons and hell dimensions. I told them I'd built the Ten Rings organization to fuck such evils and ensure everyday humans never have to see them. I offered them a place in the Ten Rings or simply on my lap to pass the time in Idelle's case.
Idelle chose the safer route while Anne asked what she could do. I shrugged and told her. "We have two drugs. One makes you stronger and helps your mind take in knowledge. The other makes you stronger and will triple your lifespan, healing you. With proper armor and training you can stand at my side for the next three hundred years or so fighting demons if you're lucky. You can have a family, be treated as an equal and live a life most could only dream of when you aren't fighting."
She nodded slowly and asked if she'd be as strong as me. I shook my head. "No, but you'll be as strong as anyone on this ship except me. My natural abilities are far stronger. Still, you would be treated as an equal once your training is complete. No more being looked down upon because you've a cunt and no more being treated as dumb by those you don't scare."
I walked to her and stood over her as I gently cupped her between the legs. "But make no mistake, you signed up to be with me when we left Nassau and I'll need you. You'll understand why better after you've learned the true history of this world."
She agreed, but said she wanted to fuck now. I chuckled before both she and Idelle were pulled to the bed. It was only afterwards that they realized the crew had women on it working alongside the men without a word. I stood shirtless as Anne came out in my clean pure white shirt that barely covered her rear and the apex of her sex.
I wrapped her in my arms gently because she was still skittish despite knowing it was I who removed her scars. She asked when she saw a woman lift a steel crate the size of a smart car if she'd be that strong as well. I nodded. "Stronger really. The crate is filled with basic supplies for Virginia. If it were solid still through and through she and you would be able to lift it with some difficulty. They have to be strong to fight the demons they face in battle all across the world."
When we made land, I got news from spies in Nassau that Eleanor had left for Boston to be with Max and Max was searching for word of me. I told the spies to drop breadcrumbs to sanctuary once Eleanor and she are together. Idelle and Anne went through both procedures and while Idelle had no desire to be a warrior, Anne very much did so she was taught and trained.
Idelle spent her time using her Nympho ways to seduce me into bed or simply relaxing, enjoying the good life as a lover of mine. The hot showers and baths with clean scents attracted her a lot after a life where a whores bath wasn't just an option, but a way of life. Eleanor and Max found us at sanctuary, a hidden compound with hundreds of training warriors practicing in fields cloaked by magic and technology.
They'd come so they weren't turned away when they saw and learned everything. Max accepted being excellent at spy mastery by natural talent and Eleanor agreed to help run the business side of things. After they were trained and had their horizons widened, they rejoined Idelle and Anne in my bed, knowing they'd never have another man besides myself again. To the outside world they vanished and we watched as Spain and England recovered.
Nassau had been reinforced and it put up one hell of a fight, but Spain wasn't taking any chances and sent their full forces. Thousands died from the fleet and the bay was littered with sunken Spanish war ships, but they were overtaken by land. They managed to repel the Spaniards with the fort and extra guns, but the English came in and took over because they'd lost their fleet, Vane was dead and soon Teach was executed.
Flint was executed with him via hanged noose and Jack Rackham was pardoned with the rest of the islanders to avoid further needless bloodshed. Eleanor asked if we could've stopped it and I shook my head. "The Ten Rings does not interfere in the course of human history nor do we take sides unless demons are involved we live in this world with the sole purpose of protecting all of humanity from the demons that would wipe us out or treat us like cattle if they conquered humanity just like long ago."
She went quiet and I turned off my viewing screen before Anne said Jack survived again. I chuckled wryly and told her. "Indeed. He and Silver are now working as owners of the Inn. Likely they'll do what's in their best interests and sell out anyone they have to to survive."
We'd watched it all from my very big bed. Idelle slid atop me and began bouncing away so my attentions divided for a time. Years passed as none of them aged and instead even Idelle became adept at killing demons. They took on missions and TR Industries sided with the colonists in the war of independence.
They just gave them supplies, escape routes, healed the wounded and stayed out of the way. Washington won his war with great contributions from the company and into the next century the civil war began. Again the company sided with the north and freed a great many slaves as it had over the years. Some joined our cause while others settled down safely with paid jobs and healed from the crack of the whips.
They were educated as were all those helped by TR Industries so they weren't dumb or useless due to their upbringing.
