   The Piracy Pimples

The mere idea of a person or people filling the role of an anti-sailor (a.k.a a buccaneer) was written down for hundreds of years. While their accent, clothing, or even what they gathered changed depending on the group, they were still playing a playable game of pirates. Even those who work in the government were Pirates (and they didn’t have to be employees of the IRS). They were called privateers. It was pretty much the same job as what a pirate was, but they had to share an amount of the goods with the government, solely so they don’t have to be on the FBI’s most wanted list. One of these privateer crews were a largely forgotten trio, known by records as “The Piracy Pimples”.


Around the middle of the 18th century, when Pennsylvania was still developing, many of the locals were always keeping an eye out of their goods and prized possessions, all thanks to the sudden increase of pirates, who found the place to be an easier ticket to “free goods”, if only because there wasn’t a lot of police and guards in the area. Many of these crews were ruthless, cruel, and unforgiving, even to those who easily surrendered what they had on their backs. The outcry and panic from the looted homeowners and shopkeepers made the only crew of pirates who had a good moral on their hit list. That’s where the trio of women comes in; Captain Jade, First Mate Lotta, and Cutthroat Betty. 


The big difference between the girls and the other pirates was that the trio were more forgiving and had zero interest in bringing terror to their town. They knew just how it felt to not have much, especially when it ends up getting removed from you by force, so they would attack and plunder enemy ships and split the goods between them and the locals. The issue was that even though they had the same principles as a privateer, they weren’t legally licensed privateers. Unfortunately, this meant that the state navy and other guards would always try to hunt them down and send them to the gallows (the fate for every captured Pirate), which ends with huge cannon explosions and swordfights until the buccaneers had defeated the misinformed soldiers, which made their reputation worse, making the

never-ending circle bigger by the day.


Now, when it came to the girls themselves, they behave pretty much like how their 21st century family members act. Captain Jade was the most logical member; Always keeping check on where enemy ships, islands, treasure, and other goods are location, keeping her crew in check while also making sure they knew they were not workers, but partners and close friends (Jade doesn't like to express the latter

a lot but does care about them the most).


Her First mate, Lotta, was the rope-girl; always good with tying sails, anchors, cargo, and enemies, having perfect aim with any pistol she gets her hands adjusted to, and was best when it comes to following orders, all with her strong western accent (she originated from the west a few years ago).


Then, that leaves the most active mate, Cutthroat Betty. She was loud, tough, and usually likes to go off to complete an order, no matter how annoyed Jade gets. Betty loved to tease Jade, which made jade eager to straighten her out, usually by forcing her to walk the plank (not as an execution, but as a method to soak Betty and get her bit by whatever fish was below to teach her to be proper, though this never scares Betty). She was the readiest to set executions and sword-playing action; so much that jade had to hold her off to keep things fair.


A lot of the time, pirates usually had a very low, if any, care or morals when it comes to those they plunder or even kidnap from. But to the trio of female buccaneers, they don’t have a will to kidnap or plunder those who’ll do them no harm. They only want to explore the seven seas, hang out as a team, and go on as many adventures as they can… but a little treasure seeking and plundering won’t do any harm… hopefully.
