Who the mysterious girl with pink hair!?4) Twilight's Past! Her friend Cadance!1) I am Twilight Sparkle! The future queen of Equestria!The story begins with a barrel floating in the sea, near a whirlpool. On board a cruise ship, two sailors discover the barrel. A formal dance is being organized on the ship, with rich passengers, and one of them invites a very young girl with light pink hair (Fluttershy) to dance. Meanwhile, the two sailors manage to fish the barrel, and when they already have it, a sailor discovers a pirate ship, known as "The Dark Duck", this fires at the cruise ship, causing the barrel to roll into the kitchen. Panic spread among the passengers, as the pirates began to board, led by Captain Alvido "Iron Fist". As the pirates attack the ship, Luster Dawn, a young slave from Alvido, sneaks into the kitchen and discovers the barrel and decides to take it to her captain's ship. As she drags the barrel, she meets three pirates from the same crew as her. They tell her that they are thirsty for her, hinting that they would keep the barrel. When one of the pirates is about to open the barrel with his fist, it is blown open, leaving a girl wearing a gold crown with a magenta jewel in the shape of a six-pointed star, called Twilight Sparkle. The pirates try to attack her, but they are easily defeated and flee in fear. Luster stays with Twilight talking, while she is going to the cellar and begins to eat apples from a box. While she eats, Twilight asks Luster if they are on a pirate ship, and she replies that no, rather they are on a ship that is being attacked by pirates. Twilight explains how her boat was destroyed by the whirlpool, and why she was inside the barrel, then Luster explains how she ended up in Alvido's crew and how her life has been since then. In that moment, Twilight mentions her dream: to become "The Queen of Equestria" (the legendary kingdom that belonged to her former king, Star Swirl "The Barbadian", before he died, revealing that whoever arrives there will become her new ruler, beginning "The Great Magic Era"), and Luster reacts scared to hear his wish. At the same time that this conversation is going on, the pirates of Alvido realize that there is a "monster" on the ship. They are also unaware that Fluttershy is stealing all of his treasures. Alvido appears from the roof of the cellar and sees Twilight, realizing that she is not Rainbow Dash (a famous local bounty hunter). Twilight asks Luster who the "fat old man" is, which makes her very enraged. Alvido attacks Luster, but Twilight grabs her and throws herself out of the cellar. On deck, she is attacked by the Alvido pirates, but they are all defeated. Then, Twilight explains that she is a kind of "woman made of pure energy", since she ate the "Magic Magic Fruit" (a powerful fruit that allows the consumer of hers to launch lightning bolts and energy balls with her hands). She also says that she wants to find the kingdom of Equestria, but for that she first has to get a crew. Alvido asks Luster again who is the most beautiful man in the world, hoping for an answer that he was the most beautiful, but Luster, inspired by Twilight's actions, yells at Alvido that he is the oldest, fattest and ugly. Alvido becomes enraged and tries to kill Luster with the steel glove on her face, but Twilight stands in the middle of her and, since hers is hers, her body of pure energy, she doesn't affect the attack. Twilight recoils and generates, with her hands, a huge and powerful beam of energy (a technique that she christened "Stella Magna"), which sends Alvido into the air. Next, Twilight orders the pirates to get a ship for Luster and her to sail away from her, which they fearfully obey. While sailing, a curious Twilight asks Luster about the Rainbow Dash that Alvido mentioned. Starlight tells him that she was recently captured by the Navy and Twilight reveals that she plans to ask him to join her future crew. Author's Note The young pirate Twilight Sparkle begins her journey to become the queen of Equestria, but first she must help the young slave Luster Dawn to defeat the pirate captain Alvido "Iron Fist" 2) The Pirate Huntress, Rainbow Dash!After a day's travel, Twilight and Luster arrive on the island from the Navy base. This island is ruled by a tyrant Marine named Morgon, and his arrogant son Sunburst. His mandate has arrested a "runner" (people capable of running at the speed of sound) called Rainbow Dash (under the nickname "The Pirate Huntress") for hiting an officer. Although, to Twilight and Luster's surprise, it was Rainbow herself who gave herself up, in exchange for not hurting an innocent child named Riko. That day, the boy made the mistake of disturbing Sunburst's pet (a wolf); and in danger, Rainbow hit the animal and Sunburst to defend herself; she is immediately arrested for committing "such a crime". The boy tries to intercede, which further enrages Sunburst, until Rainbow proposed a deal: if she could endure being held in the open without food or water in exchange for setting Riko free; and if she endured a whole month in those conditions, she would let her go too. At Ririko's (Riko's mother) bar, Sunburst arrives asking for a drink and announcing that he never intended to fulfill his deal with a criminal like Rainbow Dash, and that he would execute her tomorrow without thinking about it. Twilight, who was at the scene and could hear it all, got up from her chair angrily, punches Sunburst good, and leaves without wasting any more time with the intention of rescuing Rainbow and having her join his crew. Upon meeting Rainbow, Twilight finds out how she really is and is interested in the events that led to her current situation and that she has already made the decision that Rainbow will be the first to join her future crew; but for this the first thing was to rescue her from her in order to later recruit her. Subsequently, Sunburst arrives at the base and meets with his father to ask him to kill Twilight for hitting him, to which Morgon annoyed, hits Sunburst and exclaims that he is a "pathetic and idiot son" and that for that reason he was unworthy. to hit. He then asks a marine to go kill Riko for entering the execution range to feed Rainbow, but the marine refuses, causing Morgon to get angry and shoot him with his "Cannon Hand" to remind them of his soldiers that he is the Captain, so he is superior to them and everything he does is fair. Later, Morgon asks his soldiers to raise a statue of him and at a time when the marines were lifting it, Twilight reaches the top of the base causing the statue to fall and break, causing Morgon to rage. After that, she apologizes and kidnaps Sunburst to help her find Rainbow's boots (which, according to her, are her lucky charm and the reason why she is a "runner") . Meanwhile, on the execution ground, Luster begins to unleash Rainbow as she reveals Sunburst's deception to her. Then, Morgon appears in front of them with his men and they shoot, but before the bullets reach a tied Rainbow and a scared Luster, Twilight appears and protects them from the bullets, revealing that she is immune to them because of her body of energy. Then, and surprised by what she has seen, Rainbow asks Twilight what kind of person she is, and Twilight responds with one thing: she will be the future Queen of Equestria. Author's Note Twilight and Luster arrive on the island of the Navy base, where Rainbow Dash is imprisoned, but in order to recruit her, they must face Captain Marine Morgon "Cannon Hand" and her arrogant son Sunburst. 3) Morgon VS Twilight! Who the mysterious girl with pink hair!?Twilight hands Rainbow her boots and demands that she choose between joining her crew or dying there, and while the Marines are shocked at how Twilight was able to absorb their bullets, Rainbow Dash agrees to join her crew. Morgon realizes that Twilight must have eaten a Devil Fruit, and after Rainbow questions, Twilight replies that she ate the "Magic Magic Fruit". Morgon then explains about the mysterious Devil Fruits: mysterious fruits that can give their user powers, such as the ability to breathe fire or create tsunamis. Twilight hands Rainbow her boots and she agrees to the terms of joining her crew, saying that she cannot die yet and must keep a promise she made years ago, declaring that if Twilight gets in the way of her dream, she will kill her. With her boots equipped, Rainbow Dash breaks free of his restraints, while Morgon orders his soldiers to attack the girls. In battle, Twilight uses her "Energy Whip" technique (turning her arm into an energy whip to hit her opponent), defeating them all. This defeat makes Morgon furious, so he takes off his coat and declares that he will kill Twilight himself. She accepts the challenge and charges Morgon, landing a hit with her "Energy Sphere" technique (focusing some of her energy into a small sphere in her hand and hitting her opponent with it), but Morgon blocks it with her cannon. The two engage in a huge battle, with all of Morgon's shots missing and Twilight gaining the upper hand, knocking her opponent to the ground and pummeling him with her fists, furious that Morgon was shattering Luster's dream. Just then, Sunburst appears and points a gun at Luster's head and orders Twilight to stop attacking or he'll kill Luster, but she declares that she won't stand in the way of Twilight's dream, even if it means her death. Impressed by her friend's determination, Twilight turns to Sunburst and prepares to attack him with a weak version of her "Stella Magna", but a totally furious Morgon steps up behind Twilight, about to shoot her with his cannon. Just then, Twilight manages to knock Sunburst down, revealing that Morgon was unable to shoot her, because Rainbow had hit her in the stomach with a powerful kick. Stricken by Rainbow's attack, Morgon collapses to the ground in defeat, and our protagonists are shocked to see the Marines throw their weapons into the air, celebrating the defeat of their tyrannical captain. Elsewhere, Fluttershy finds a map leading to Equestria in Morgon's office, but only finds a note, saying that someone named Sombra already took the map. Later, Twilight, Rainbow, and Luster celebrate their victory at the town restaurant with Riko and her mother, where they eat their fill, and Riko questions where Twilight is headed next. She replies that she will leave for Equestria to become queen, and Luster responds in horror, saying that the route to Equestria is a dangerous place, also known as "The Pirate Graveyard". Still, Twilight remains confident in her dream. Then, Rainbow asks Twilight how many more members are in her crew, and she replies that Rainbow is the first, and then points to the small boat they will be traveling on. At that moment, a group of Marines enter the restaurant and, since Twilight and Rainbow are pirates, they ask them to leave the town and the island immediately. Their leader, Lieutenant Ripper, also communicates that he will not rat them out to Marine Headquarters, in thanks for defeating Morgon. Accepting the terms, Twilight and Rainbow prepare to leave, and Ripper asks Luster if she's with them. At that moment, Twilight is about to explain that Luster spent time aboard Alvido's pirate ship as her slave, and this infuriates Starlight, since that information will ruin her chance to join the Navy. Completely furious, Luster punches Twilight, causing her to retaliate and they start fighting. The Marines see that Luster is not with them, so they order Twilight and Rainbow to leave. As they leave, Starlight asks to join the Marines and is promptly accepted. Outside, Twilight and Rainbow board their boat, and as they set sail, the Marines send them off with a salute for saving the city, including Luster, who promises to meet Twilight again one day, but next time it will be as rivals. In the end, Rainbow asks Twilight why she wants to become the Queen of Equestria so badly, and Twilight replies that she does it because of a promise she made to the woman who gave her her crown... and that she won't break that promise, whatever happens. Author's Note Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash fight the Marines led by Morgon to prevent his execution, managing to defeat him, which earns the respect of the townspeople and the Marines on the base. Luster Dawn is finally able to fulfill her dream of joining the Navy, and Twilight sets sail on her next adventure, with Rainbow as the first member of the crew. With this chapter ends the first arc of my story: "The Beginning of the Legend" 4) Twilight's Past! Her friend Cadance!In the middle of the ocean, Fluttershy's boat is attacked by a small ship that belongs to three members of the Pirates of Sombra (the third strongest pirate in the area), but she, in reality, tricks them by pretending to ask for help, offering them a fake treasure chest. When the pirates fall into the trap, Fluttershy steals their ship and flees with their treasure, while the three pirates are knocked down by a small storm that Fluttershy had predicted beforehand. Meanwhile, not far from there, Twilight and Rainbow continue their journey, hungry and not knowing where to go. Then, when Rainbow rocks the boat a little, Twilight's crown flies off, and upon retrieving it, she begins to remember how she got it. Ten years ago, Twilight was just a little girl when a famous pirate named Mi Amore Cadance, aka "Crystal Heart", arrived in her hometown, Ponyville, to set up temporary base for her crew. Over time, Twilight considered Cadance her idol, dreaming of being a pirate like her. One day, during one of the parties they were having at the local bar, the party was interrupted by the arrival of Higumo's band of bandits, who demanded alcohol, which Cadance unfortunately drank. After the argument, where Cadance didn't even defend herself against Higumo's insults, Twilight became angry at such humiliation that Cadance and his crew didn't give it any importance, but Twilight did. Then, while she is angry, Twilight eats a mysterious fruit that was among Cadance's treasure, who is alarmed as she reveals that said fruit was the "Magic-Magic Fruit", warning Twilight that, after eating it, she will never be able to swim again. A few days later, Higumo and his bandits return to the bar and Twilight confronts them, ready to defend Cadance's honor for laughing at her. Then, just at the moment when Higumo was going to kill Twilight, Cadance appears along with his crew and they engage in combat with Higumo's bandits, in which his three best fighters participate: Maud Pie, Flash Magnus and Somnambula. They defeat them easily, but at the last moment, a frightened Higumo flees using a smoke bomb, taking Twilight with him as a hostage, making Cadance worry. At sea, Higumo throws a frightened Twilight into the water, as he knew about the weakness of Devil Fruit users, but just as he does so, he is devoured by a huge sea serpent called "The Lord of the Coast". While Twilight tries not to drown, the sea serpent prepares to eat her, but Cadance saves her at the last moment, scaring the animal and losing her left leg in the process, leaving Twilight traumatized by her guilt. A few days later, Cadance and her crew decide to leave Ponyville, and knowing that Twilight will be willing to surpass her by promising to be the Queen of Equestria, she decides to give her a special crown, which for her is "the most valuable thing" of her treasure, as reminder of that promise. Back in the present, a hungry Twilight decides to capture a bird she sees from afar, but then discovers that said bird was actually huge and she gets stuck in its beak. Rainbow chases the bird and along the way rescues the three pirates that Fluttershy left adrift, and they try to take over the boat, only to be forced to row after being quickly defeated by Rainbow. Along the way, they tell Rainbow that she belongs to the Pirates of Sombra and tell her about her captain. Meanwhile, in a city called Yellow Town, Fluttershy runs away from some members of the Pirates of Sombra, as she had stolen a map from them, only for a confused Twilight to fall from the sky among them, because the bird that caught was hit by a cannon shot. Author's Note As they travel to Equestria, Twilight remembers the story of how she obtained her crown from the pirate she idolizes: the legendary Cadance "Crystal Heart". This chapter begins the "Pirates of Sombra Arc".
