The Last Stand at Sangrieta

The Last Stand at Sangrieta: An Epic Account
The legend of Sangrieta begins with two infamous pirate captains—Victor Vane and William Blackheart—rivals by reputation, but bound by circumstance to make a deal that could change the tides of piracy forever. Vane held something that Blackheart wanted: a map of immeasurable value, a treasure that could lead Blackheart to the one thing he sought above all. They agreed to meet on a secluded island, an exchange of power in the balance.
But what neither man knew was that betrayal had already poisoned the air. A traitor, from Vane’s own crew, sold their secret meeting to the Arthinian Navy for a few pieces of gold. The Navy seized this opportunity with ruthless precision, deploying one thousand soldiers to crush these pirate kings in one devastating blow.
The ambush was set.
750 soldiers on land, hiding in the jungle, waiting for the signal to strike.
250 aboard ships, cannon fire ready to rain hell upon the beach.
As Vane and Blackheart’s crews gathered around for what should have been a simple exchange, the air filled with the deafening roar of cannon fire. The island shook. Sand erupted, shrapnel flew, and the pirates were thrown into chaos.
But chaos, it turns out, was where they thrived.
The crews of both captains had fought countless battles, but this time, the odds were almost laughable: 200 pirates, outnumbered five to one. They had no ships, no escape. It was stand or die.
The Battle Unfolds
Vane’s right-hand man, Raki Mizu, was the first to charge, his twin blades flashing as he cut through the first wave of soldiers like a storm. By the time the smoke had cleared, he had killed 51 men. But a cannon blast tore through the chaos, and in an instant, Raki lost his arm. Undeterred, he continued to fight until he was forced to retreat, blood-soaked but unbowed.
Cassius Grant, William Blackheart’s trusted first mate, threw himself into the melee, cutting a path through the soldiers with savage skill. His cutlass struck down 54 men, but a sword thrust found its mark, leaving him wounded but still standing. He fought on, driven by loyalty and sheer will.
Then there was Orion—the world-renowned musician-turned-warrior—who fought with a guitar in hand, turning his music into a weapon. He used his instrument to take down 66 men before it shattered in the heat of battle. With a grin, he grabbed the nearest blade and continued the fight, unfazed by the carnage.
The enigmatic thief, Gianni Mai, moved through the battlefield like a shadow, his strikes lethal and precise. Soldier after soldier fell under his swift blades—74 in total—before a spear pierced his side, leaving him critically wounded. Yet, even in his weakened state, Gianni refused to fall.
Then came Mako, the unstoppable force. The goliath, towering above the chaos, wielded his massive strength with terrifying effect. Soldiers broke against him like waves on rock. He cut through 114 men, his hands and arms soaked in blood, until a blast finally knocked him to the ground. But Mako was not one to be defeated so easily; he rose once again, a beast among men.
The Captains' Reckoning
But it was the captains themselves who turned the tide of battle.
William Blackheart, already a legend among pirates, became an unstoppable force that day. His saber flashed, his movements fluid as death itself, carving a path through the Arthinian ranks. By the time his fury subsided, 244 soldiers had fallen at his feet. His black coat whipped through the smoke as he stood, drenched in blood, his eyes blazing.
Victor Vane, however, was a storm unlike any other. His blade sang through the air, cleaving through flesh and steel alike. He killed 187 men before his sword shattered in his hands. Any other man might have faltered. But not Vane. With nothing but his fists, he continued the slaughter, crushing skulls and snapping necks. When the dust finally settled, Vane had killed 396 soldiers, his body drenched in blood, his eyes burning with the fire of victory.
The Aftermath
Two days. That’s all it took.
Two days for 200 pirates to annihilate 1,000 soldiers. The Arthinian Navy had come to crush the pirate kings, but it was they who were utterly destroyed. Vane and Blackheart, despite the overwhelming odds, stood victorious, having lost only two of their men.
The island, once nameless, became known as Sangrieta, after the rivers of blood that soaked its sands. The tale of that battle spread like wildfire across the seas, becoming the stuff of legend. Blackheart and Vane, once rivals, were now bound by blood and battle, their names forever etched into history.
For the Arthinian Navy, Sangrieta became a mark of shame they would never live down. For the pirates, it became a rallying cry—a testament to the indomitable spirit of those who would fight, no matter the odds, for their freedom.
And so, the Last Stand at Sangrieta became not just a battle, but an immortal tale of defiance, where two pirate legends turned a betrayal into an epic victory.
