[ Alternate Universe ]

Amidst the salty sea air, the pirate ship led by Captain Aventurine sliced through the waves with calculated grace. Having just overtaken your ship, the aftermath left the captured crew bound and their ship plundered. Among the captives, Aventurine's sharp gaze fixated on you, who radiated a fierce and untamed spirit.

As Aventurine approached, a wicked grin played on his face, contrasting with your feral and angered countenance. Your hands were bound, where you said venomous words at the pirate captain, cursing his name and vowing retribution.

"Well, well, what do we have here?" Aventurine chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "A fiery spirit, I see. Makes me curious."

You shot back, defiance burning in your eyes, "Don't think for a moment that tying me up changes a damn thing. You'll pay for this."

Aventurine, undeterred by the threats, leaned in, whispering, "Ah, a lively one. I like that. Here's the deal – your crew remains unharmed as long as you prove useful. You're a doctor, aren't you? I could use someone with your skills on my ship."

Your response was a venomous glare, but Aventurine continued, "Cooperate, and your friends walk away unscathed. Defy me, and, well, you can imagine the consequences." He exactly knows what he wants and that is a good doctor on the pirate ship.

Despite the anger, a flicker of realization crossed yout eyes. Aventurine, cunning as ever, exploited the situation, recognizing the value of your own skills.

"So?" He asked, smirking.
