== Story ==
A young girl named Linaria is pursued on the ocean by her three half-sisters, lead by the cruel Aleria. Aleria intended to execute of Linaria after their deceased father nominated her as the leader of earths largest pirate fleet. Aleria deceived her sisters to get their support, calling Linaria a zealot. A powerful stranger from space named Kugel arrives and drives Aleria’s ship away. Linaria believes that Kugel is a god and asks for his help to retain control of her fleet, as she is dying from disease.
Months later, Kugel leads the fleet as a figurehead for Linaria. Aleria decides to dispose of him by covertly provoking some whalesquids to attack the fleet (she never gets her hands dirty). This wipes out most of Linaria’s fleet, killing hundreds until Kugel arrives to stop the attack with ease. The immense power displayed by Kugel makes Aleria also believe he is a god and she bows before him in fear. When Linaria finally dies from her illness, Aleria looks on from the shadows with a smug smile while Kugel holds Linaria’s corpse in his arms. Aleria offers herself to replace Linaria as his priestess in an attempt to deceive Kugel. She assumes that Kugel will give in to her fake fealty without question. Kugel seems to accept as she kneels before him, but instead he kills her with his Alliance sword, saying that he has better use for her dead than alive. Kugel galvanizes the fleet with her death by lionizing her and reaffirms his position as the uncontested leader of the fleet. Kugel, now the villain, unceremoniously dumps Aleria's body into the ocean.
