Treasure Pt.I

"Are you fucking serious, Sparrow?" Tie Ta asked with a light laugh.

"Aye. I think it would be best to make a little money while hunting for the girl," he explained.

"By robbing a bank?" Swann asked.

"Yeah!" Jack replied.

"You may be a renowned pirate. But I do believe you're half fool. If you want treasure, then how about we take the Urca de lima on the way ."

"No! No! Captain Flints' score." Sparrow protested, "He congregates with that Barlow woman, and she has a contract with Devil of the Asmodeus Family."

"I don't care if he has an accord with God! We're not robbing a fucking bank! If you want treasure, the Urca is the only thing I'll take. Otherwise, you'll get your ass on that longboat, and we will go to shore to find this girl."

Captain Swann sighed and shook her head. Jack was incredulous.

"Put your crew on high alert. The English might want their warship back." said Tie Ta, "Oh! By any chance, do any of you know how many people Calypso told about this girl and her ability to read a map that no man can read that would lead them to the power of the sea?"

Swann and Sparrow looked to have an epiphany.

"Unbleavible..." Tie Ta muttered, "Get the fuck off my vessel. I'll meet you ashore. And it is every Captain for 'em self until we get back on the sea."

Tie Ta then vanished. Swann's and Sparrow's first mate grabbed hold of them then they vanished as well.

"Carina Smyth, you're an orphan born of the devil, accused of practicing witchcraft." said a priest on the outside of a cell, looking in, speaking to a young woman with dark hair and blue eyes.

"Before you die, do you have anything to confess?"

"I confess that I'm not a witch. That I am a woman of science. I confess that I have survived on my own with nothing but a diary from the father I never knew." said Carina. Her manacled hands are carefully working at the lock, careful not to draw the priest's attention. Her eyes are cast downward.

"I confess I will die before I give up the search. And I confess... " she looks up to the priest, "That while we've been talking, I picked this lock. "

She throws the door open, knocking the priest over, and runs from the jail as the priest lies there, stunned. Another act of witchcraft to charge her with as a woman could never be so smart to pick a lock. If Tie Ta were there, he would have killed the priest for idiocy.

Carina Smyth is an astronomer and horologist. She was left as an infant at the orphanage in England, where she grew up without knowing the truth about her origin. With the mysterious diary of Galileo Galilei being her only link to her past. Carina became a brilliant thinker, a woman ahead of her time and the red coats that now chased her out of the prison she was incarcerated in.

Carina loses her tail briefly and peers around a building to see a large crowd gathered around Saint Martin's bank. She watches the passers-by and the crowd. She watches as two officials open the large door, and people gasp and applaud, seeing a large safe inside. Carina runs while attention is diverted.

She runs into a nearby building, ignoring the sign that says "NO DOGS" and "NO WOMEN". She looks around the instruments inside with wonder, stopping before a giant telescope. As she peers through it, the owner, Mr. Swift, sees her.

aghast, Mr.Swift says, "No woman's ever handled my Herschel."

Carina looks at him with some scorn and disbelief as Swift closes the book he was reading.

"Sir, your celestial fix was off. I've adjusted two degrees North." Says Carina. Swift goes to look at his charts as she speaks, "Your map will no longer be imprecise, although you will have to start again with it."

Swift looks at the charts, then to her, slowly pointing as he stammers, "You're a witch."

"No, I'm not." She Impatiantely protests while putting her shackled wrist behind her back, "Am I a witch for having cataloged over two-hundred stars?"

"Witch!" Mr.Swift proclaimed.

Carina sighs as she turns away.

"There is a blood moon coming," she speaks to herself, moving towards an instrument in a box, " I simply need to purchase a chronometer."

She picks up said device, which looks like a cross between a pocket watch and a compass. " I'll pay you double for selling to a woman," she says.

Mr. Swift has since pulled out a small pistol and holds it shakily.

" Help!" he screams.

Carina turns around, surprised.

Meanwhile, a trio of pirates.....No, two pirates helping about a drunken one, heard the shouts of Mr.Swift. One of the pirates stretches his mind and makes out a woman with shackles on her wrist.

"There's a witch in my shop! Help!" Mr.Swift shouts again. Jack empties the last of the rum as he walks into the shop.

"Help! There's a witch in my shop! And a pirate! There's a witch and a pirate in my shop!" Mr. Swift reiterates.

A small bird whistle came from behind Mr.Swift and caught his attention.

"There are three pirates and a witch in your shop."

"No, Captain Tie Ta. By English standard, I am a witch too."

"That is right, Captain Swann. Two pirates and two witches."

"But you're actually a witch, mate."

"Yes... Three witches and one pirate."

"I am not a witch!" Carina exclaimed, "I am an astronomer and learned horologist!"

The room was shrouded in awkward silence.

"Okay..." said Tie Ta, "Two witches, a pirate, and a whore."

"Shameless," Sparrow mutters.

"Have you no mother?" Swann asks.

"What?!" Carina shout, dumbstruck.

"Enough of this." Tie Ta knocks out Mr.Swift and steps forward. " Carina Smyth, right?"

"Y-yes," she replied.

"Good. Would you like to stop whoring and hunt for the trident of Poseidon with us?"

"I am not a whore!"

"So, do you want to come with us or not?" Tie Ta asked.

"No!"

"I guess she's a prisoner then." Tie Ta finished speaking, and Carina fell unconscious. He threw her body into his Saint Artifact, and the trio left the building.

But nothing is ever that easy as entities of different power levels encroached, forcing the three Captains to a halt.

"What now?" asked Swann.

"As I said, every man for 'em self," muttered Tie Ta before he flash steps, leaving behind a speed clone.

Tie Ta zips through town, dodging an assault of people looking to take Carina. He slips a strike of green fire and uses a pinch of his power to blow a hole in the person's body. However, Tie Ta seen the person again, completely healed.

He then looked back and visually saw why his senses told him that his enemy wasn't decreasing.

"The healing factor here is unfucking real." he sneers.

Tie Ta takes to the air, turns around, and points down to the town of Saint Martin. "Don't hold back..." he says.

A moment later, a massive gravity force crashed down like a giant plate, crushing the town and everything inside of it, creating a hole 100 meters into the ground.

"Hmm, that should be deeper," said Te Ta before he continued on his way to his ship.

-------------

"Did you have to kill the entire town?" Swann asked.

"Yes, now the girl has to wait until sundown. We should make scarce until then," said Tie Ta.

"How about we go after the Urca?" asked Jack.

"I thought you were afraid of the Devil contracted to the Barlow woman?" Tie Ta asked.

"Afraid? Me? Never! I'm Captain Jack Sparrow." he sang.

Tie Ta chuckled. He watched the first three movies of Pirates of the Caribbean and knew one hard fact. "Jack, do you happen to have a compass on you?"

"Maybe," he says.

"May I see it to get my heading?" Tie Ta asked.

"Use your own compass, mate," said Jack.

"Do you want the Urca or not?

Jack sucked his teeth then handed the compass over. Tie Ta flipped it open the arrow pointed at Banita. He pulls her close, and the arrow points to Lingyue. He then grabs Lingyue, and the arrow finally gives him a heading.

-------------

Meanwhile, on Nassau, Calypso felt the show was a little too boring, so she taught Charles Vane how to summon a devil. At the same time, a Devil Peerage of the Asmodeus Family set sail with Flint, his crew, and two ships.

In the Shinigami Manor, a beaten Max was sitting in front of a bound devil as Di tortured it with light magic, pulling information from it. When he was finished, Di looked at Max and her bad state.

"We have to tell the captain. A peerage of Devils is something he has to know about," said Di.

"We have a fucking brothel of Sucubusses. We're good enough to be fucked by sea-soaked cock but not good enough for any other work?" said Max, " The girls are getting tired of whoring. I say we take a ship of our own, met Flint in the sea, then blow him and his devils to shit."

"Not without the Captain's permission. You know this." said Di, "Go back to the brothel, suck a cock or two and calm your fucking tits."

When Max was gone, Di, Zhu Wen, and Audrey sat around sharing thoughts on the odd matter.

"If we kill him, his king will know," said Zhu Wen.

"Doesn't matter. Flint has a contract, and the peerage is on that contract because Spain is rumored to have a holy sword user." Audrey explained.

"So how do we manage to take the Urca gold. And we are not calling the Captain. We have to do this on our own. I told him we could handle it," said Di.

"Then we use Max and the whores." said Audrey, "Captian always said they would get tired of whoring. Sex is who they are, but the hunt of it is what keeps a succubus going. The hunt and act of all of her hellish perversions."

"So we just close down the brothel?" asked Di.

"No. We take half. Captain has been having me train them. I'll pick the best, and you work whatever magic you have to get us on L'Urca de Lima." said Audrey.

Di sighed and looked at Zhu Wen. She gave him an affirming nod, and he put the plan in motion.

By nightfall, a massive storm had hit while Di, Audrey, Zhu Wen, Max, and fifteen half breeds stood around a glowing arcane circle. The circle shined into the sky and illuminated the entire island. A moment later, the team appeared on the deck of the warship in pandemonium.

"No mercy!" Di shouted.

Power emitted from everyone as they engaged in slaughtering the entire top deck before everyone below deck knew what hit them.

Suddenly, five loud booms and exploding wood resounded. Five entities had erupted from the sides of the massive warship and floated in the air.

Tens of crewmen were regurgitated from the bow of the ship. The Hulk of the sea carried many people of different backgrounds. Unfournatly, the half-breeds, would have to deal with them alone as an Archmage, fallen angel, holy sword user, and two lamias hovered in the sky.

Di, Audrey, and Zhu Wen took to the sky to engage them. Two battles raged on. Six half breeds had died at the hands of many low-level magicians and a captain who had Blade Blacksmith sacred gear.

Unable to keep pace, Max used a technique that burned blood essence. She shined with a blinding violet light that gathered in her hands, forming a scythe.

"Lineage Weapon!" Max roared as she launched herself into the crowd and slaughtered anyone she came in contact with.

The other half breeds followed her lead and conjured lineage weapons of their own. When Max finally made it to the captain, a bolt of lightning hit the Urca, and the entire vessel flipped over into the sea.

-------------------------------

-On the Shinigami-

"Those three stars! We have to follow them or wait until nightfall tomorrow," said Carina while pointing to the sky.

"The Urca can wait. Wutong, change course!"

"Aye, Captian!"

"Zhuiyu! do something about this fucking storm!"

"Aye, Captian!" her eyes went white, and a gust of wind launched throw the clouds.

"Tie!" Reika shouted, "We have company! And they're moving like speed boats!"

"How many?!"

"Six! And one of them is flying a Trident!" said Reika.

"I guess this is crucible Jack was talking about. Signal the Black Pearl and the Empress. Tell them to keep up or get left behind. Ahmanet! Take the Helm!"

"Aye, my love..."

Ahmanet switched out with Wutong, and a great arcane array painted the warship with a crimson glow. Once Reika sent the signal to the two sister ships, Ahmanet gripped the helm, and the ship shot off, propelled by intense magic.

The Empress was next as it morphed into a Chinese water dragon. The Black Pearl left the water altogether as it ripped through the sky in the form of a sparrow.

Simultaneously, the ships on their tails changed to keep pace.

"Death Race on the sea, eh daddy?" Amber chimed.

"Seems to be," said Tie Ta.

He held his hand to the sky and the bracelet of Anubis shined. Jackal warriors by the hundreds appeared and jumped into the sea.

"That should slow them down." Tie Ta hummed.

The sea storm eventually broke, and the sea finally calmed as Zhuiyu landed back on the deck.

"Captain!" She said, "Land up ahead."

--------------------------------------

-L'Urca de Lima-

The Urca was now swirling about in the sea at the mercy of raging tides. In the sky, Audrey, Di, and Zhu Wen fought the five entities. The two lamias were the first to die. Di fought the Holy sword user, Audrey fought the Archmage, and Zhu Wen fought the four-winged fallen angel.

As the fight went on, they each understood why the Captain said not to hold back. Di was already in his second stage of unlocked mode, While Zhu Wen and Audrey were on the verge of unlocking their first stage.

Di and the holy sword fighter collided with a force that created great waves. All the while, Di was doing simultaneous chanting, leaving eldritch circle through the sky. He finally called for his scepter, blocked a strike, then put his enemy into a mean five-hit combo.

Di's movement arched through the air and connected with small explosions. He then twirled his scepter and pushed forth a Chthonic blast that sealed a holy sword and sent the fighter flying into the epicenter of his array.

Di muttered his last phase in a foreign tongue, and the sky lit up, Disintegrating the fighter. Di watched as dimming shards of metal rain down on the sea and sunk to its dark depths.

Boom!

Di looked to his left, and Zhu Wen was in Tensigan Chakra Mode. He looked closer and noticed that she had broken through Stage 1 of her Genetic constraint. The battle turned in Zhu Wen's favor, but she was impaled with a spear of Light. Zhu Wen held on to it as her chakra infiltrated the fallen angel's body and caused him to explode.

Di blipped to her side and immediately started healing her as Audrey had finally managed to cut down the pesky Archmage.

Panting, Audrey said, "Those fucking guys were strong."

"Yeah. Too strong. Something not right about this world. It's broken." said Di. "When I connected to the akashic plane to learn how to seal the holy sword, everything was skewed, constantly changing and reshaping the laws. Everything above a medium-class devil should be tripled on the scale of destructive output."

"Are you serious?" Audrey asked.

"You're a Dreamweaver. and you had trouble with an Archmage. My opponent was human but held a holy sword. It's a bit complicated right now, but the best way to explain it is by using Issei Hyoudou as an example. His internal magic is weaker than the man I fought. But his boosted gear makes him strong, just like the holy sword did for my opponent."

"So there's an internal and external scale?"

"And a comprehensive scale. Understanding the external or internal would drastically boost your power. My opponent understood everything about his sword. They were one. Issei received a power boost when he understood his sacred gear and applied it properly, while Rias had to comprehend her destructive power to deeper levels to actually progress. This world is made to have its limits broke, and no matter how strong one is, the scholar will always be stronger than the muscle head."

"Know the rules to break the rules. Even Yuuto merged the holy and demonic when he understood a sliver of his sword energies. Issei also understood a little about his sacred gear merged the power of the white dragon with him." Zhu Wen spoke weakly. " Remember what the Saint Artifact spirit told us?"

"Laws that define the world..." said Di, "These people are cultivating laws of the world subconsciously. Or more so, they cultivate how the knowledge of how things interact with the laws of the world."

"So all we have to do is find out how our powers fit into this world. What is a Dreamweaver in DxD? What is my place in the grand scheme?" said Audrey.

"Exactly. I'm an architect. Zhu Wen must learn the history of Kitsune and how they connect with their power. Amber must learn dragon lore, Lingyue must commune with the vampires. We learn our place in this world. Then we work on elevating ourselves. Right now, we're just brute force." explained Di.

When Zhu Wen was healed, the trio went after the wreck of the Urca.
