Twilight Sparkle has been many things in her life: a student, a sister, a princess, and some might even call her a savior. But is she ready to be a pirate?

She better find out soon, because an important task has been given to her by Princess Celestia. Now faced with leaving her past behind her and venturing into an entirely new world or letting Equestria and everything she knows fall into ruin, she must step up to become a pirate captain, and venture into the mysterious world of "The Great Blue Sea"

Equestrian magic and determination can only go so far. Even with her friends at her side, she may not make it to the end of the adventure. Nothing is a guarantee. Luckily for her, a certain Yonko has taken interest in the signs of a new pirate crew entering the seas.

MLP-One Piece crossover. Shanks-centric...ish. Reboot of the previous version of the story "Emperor's Territory". Some blood and injury, may attain a gore tag, but I'm not sure yet; Character death will occur. You have been warned.
