Coroika Pirate AU part 2.5(?) 3(?) I guess?

Hello hello! I’m back again with another infodump post :] I won’t really introduce any new stuff--- it’s mostly just extra information on pre-existing ones that I thought of. I also realized I never talked about Barreleye yet, so he’ll be here too!

OH! It’s also some background information that may come in handy for the written bits that I’ll hopefully have together--- sometime. Not really sure when.

Anyways, here’s the link to the main thread if you’d like to read more about my silly little AU

Infodump after the cut!

First off, I’d like to introduce a weapon I thought of a while back for this AU.

This is the Splatling Hook! :D Or at least, a concept sketch of it.

Hahaha get it, cause it’s a grappling hook-- and Splatoon---- I don’t know 😭 It’s the funniest thing I could think of

I know, there’s already the splatlings :( but this one’s special aight

There are two versions, one that could be handled like your typical gun that fires a hook. This hook has a pointed end so it could be pretty brutal if you were hit by it.

It could also be mounted on the arm for easy use as well.

It could also be used for fishing I guess, since the rope is retractable--- but I wouldn’t say that’s its main use.

Alright back to some info dumps on characters! :D

The X-Blood Pirates:

They go head-to-head with the S4

Led by Captain Vintage and his crew of X-Blood pirates

Vintage stinky >:[

Captain Vintage has a scar on his face from a fight with Skull.

Skull used to be in his crew, but the two got into an argument one day. Neither of them like talking about it. But, Skull ran away while the ship was docked at a port after taking some of Vintage's treasure.

Skull doesn't really like talking about what it was like being in Vintage's crew— although he's been asked a few times.

Vintage is a strict captain but takes pride in his crew. He's sometimes looking for new people to join the crew. He'll sometimes take desperate pirates that were captured by him.

Vintage was the one who gave Skull the scars on his face

Vintage is an exceptional swordsman and sometimes wields a splatling.

Vintage is only interested in raiding other pirate crews and becoming the most feared pirate throughout the seas.

Once he's done with that, he's going to take the great treasure the Guardians are protecting.

The X-Bloods are also very cocky and stuck-up. Whenever they conquer a pirate ship or it’s crew, they always leave an X-shaped scar that’s cut with a knife.

Edgelords 🙄

Vintage wants some black labels from the Wireglasse Pirates, he doesn't want to make an alliance with them though— he thinks they're too emotional.

The Wireglasse Pirates pt.2:

Consisting of 8Bit, Shady, Wireglasses, Ocho, + their teams from the manga.

Ocho is sometimes sent off to smaller villages to gather resources or information for the crew. By sometimes, I mean quite frequently

Sometimes 8-Bit is sent off to do this, it just depends on where.

Since they have an intimidating reputation, it's best if they split up to not scare anyone or cause any unnecessary trouble.

They are in possession of the Rainmaker, a cannon that's capable of wiping out entire fleets in the blink of an eye. It rests on their ship's bow as a trophy.

Other pirates want the Rainmaker, but they're too intimidated to approach.

The Rainmaker is only used in cases of emergencies, they try not to use it because it may damage their own ship as well.

The Rainmaker was stolen from another band of pirates that used it as a cannon.

The Wireglasse Pirates have no known allies, their captain prefers not to trust other pirate crews.

Captain Kaoss, or Captain Wireglass (either one is okie dokie) leads the crew with Ocho as second in command.

Despite his ruthless appearance, the Captain cares about his crew quite a bit. He trusts them a lot and they trust him too.

Shady is their marksman and navigator.

Shady’s sniping skills are almost equally matched with Skull’s, it raises the question of who’s the better shot.

The Wireglass Pirates are also technically friends with Barreleye’s crew. Pretty much they both agreed not to attack each other if they met at sea.

They have no business fighting each other, plus some of their crewmates are friends-- so there’s that.

The Barreleye Pirates:

I can’t believe I didn’t mention them sooner--- I’M SO SORRY BARRELEYE ❗❗

THE BARRELEYE PIRATES 🔥🔥 NOBLE WARRIORS OF THE SEA 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Yeah they’re pretty cool

Consisting of Mitsuami, YARRwhal, Horn-Helmet, and Shellmet! (and their teams as well, minus Team Blue)

I honestly might switch the names a bit but I’m not sure tbh.

I feel like I’m legally obligated to call him YARRwhal here since it’s a pirate AU and all/hj

but at the same time... Captain Barreleye is a pretty sick name. For the sake of this post, I’m going to call him Barreleye.

Anyways, they like using heavy machinery to fight such as blasters and splatlings.

Except for Mitsuami, she uses a tri-stringer!

If they see their opponent doesn’t have a weapon, they refuse to fight unless their opponent has a weapon too. (They don’t really carry spares with them.)

They also refuse to fight if it seems unfair. They want both sides to have fun.

Barreleye was the one who told Captain Gloves about the Wireglass Pirates.

They met in a cafe one time and Gloves asked him about being a pirate.

Barreleye and Gloves are friends, but they haven’t seen each other for a long long long time--- they hope to see each other while at sea or elsewhere.

I think Barreleye would freak out if he found out Gloves talked to Prince

Like the Blue Pirates, the Barreleye Pirates are not feared--- they are still pretty powerful but no one would feel uncomfortable/intimidated talking to the crew.

Mitsuami has never missed a shot, except for maybe 2 times. However, she doesn’t have as great of a range with the stringer.

Barreleye doesn’t like Hivemind. They’ve met once and it didn’t go all too well.

Mitsuami joined the crew because she loves the ocean. She really wanted to join a pirate crew and sail with some friends. Fortunately, Horn-Helmet was already a pirate at the time and introduced her to Barreleye.

Hivemind (extra stuff):

He brainwashed Emperor's parents to allow his crew to dock at their ports.

This is also why other pirates have docked at the kingdom, since it's no longer enforced.

Hivemind doesn't like to call himself a pirate. He calls his crew "The Great Hivemind Fleet"— but that's just a sugar-coated version of "Hivemind Pirates".

Hivemind wants to have control over all of the strongest pirate crews and put an end to pirates altogether.

Hivemind is manipulative and he sometimes doesn't wear his headset/change his ink color in order to fool others.

He's had an encounter with the Blue Pirates, but didn't bother to sink their ship— as they didn't seem to put up much of a fight anyways.

Once you're under his control, you usually can't break out of it yourself— unless you have really strong willpower or if you accidentally break Hivemind's headset.

Like I mentioned before he really really really really wants to go after the Wireglass Pirates, but it seems like they’re too difficult to find. He wants to know if they live up to their fearsome reputation and have them under his control.

Thank you for reading! Feel free to send me questions in my askbox if there’s anything else you’d like to know about the silly pirates.

...oops I took up too much space again. there was still more I wanted to include but I don’t want the post to get too boring to read. Also I underestimated how much space all this would take up 💀

I guess there will be a part 4 sometime then! :’D
