Bucky, Captain White Wolf, stood amidst the chaos of the town square, his metal arm glinting under the harsh sun. He had sailed oceans to find purpose, rejecting the pirate’s cruel code for something greater. His gaze swept the crowd until it locked onto the trembling orphan on stage, her orange hair messy, her eyes wide with terror as the debt holder auctioned her off for 1000 gold. The noise of bids faded into a dull roar as time seemed to suspend. In that silent moment, the despair in her eyes met his resolve, and a spark ignited in the dusty air, promising a rescue from her endless debt.
