Classification: Monastic Warship / Elemental Pearl Vessel
Hull: Frost-white Baelwood, permanently coated in crystalline hoarfrost
Core Pearl: Giant Meito Pearl — Absolute Frost (unattuned to anyone but Hakuyune)
The Ivory Estate is less a ship and more a drifting palace of silence. It is constructed entirely from winter-grown Baelwood—wood that refuses to rot, warp, or yield to heat. Its deck is a snowfield. Its masts creak like frozen bones. No lantern flames burn aboard; instead, the ship is lit by pale, floating pearl-lights.
Silent Hull: The vessel produces no sound, even at top speed.
Resonance Cloak: The Absolute Frost Pearl suppresses hostile pearl resonance in a 200-foot radius.
Frozen Wake: Water behind the ship turns to thin ice sheets for several seconds.
Sword-Sanctum Deck: A training pavilion of crystalized wood where Hakuyune spars with disciples.
Monastic Quarters: Each room is identical: white mats, one candle, one pearl shrine.
To outsiders, the Ivory Estate appears empty.
To disciples, it is a living temple.
Hakuyune does not employ a traditional pirate crew.
Instead, he hand-selects individuals who embody the purest form of their discipline. Together they represent the six core archetypes of the sword paths and combat arts of the Estes Sea.
Hakuyune’s “crew” consists of Six Pillars and Six Shadows:
Pillars — public masters, leaders, and representatives
Shadows — secret practitioners assigned to unseen tasks (assassination, scouting, enforcement)
Each one is strong enough to captain their own crew—but they follow Hakuyune out of reverence, not hierarchy.
Class: Navigator (Meito - Water/Ice Alignment)
Role: Plotting paths through storms, ice shelves, and pearl harmonics
Notable Trait: Can read the sea as if it were a sheet of paper
Yujiro can sense Meito currents, ice storms, and pearl turbulence before they manifest. He never raises his voice. He never gives orders. The sea simply listens when he speaks.
Class: Blade Master (Meito School), Hakuyune’s senior disciple
Role: Discipline instructor, ceremonial duelist, lieutenant in all conflicts
Notable Trait: Has never taken a life—yet every opponent yields
Saeko is the only student permitted to study Hakuyune’s footwork patterns directly. Every Buccaneer respects her. Every Privateer fears her.
Class: Pearlwright (Master Rank), Artisan of Meito Carvings
Role: Maintains Hakuyune’s sword, ship hull harmonics, and training blades
Notable Trait: Has carved runes so precise they alter weather patterns
Karuda forged Hakuyune’s 12-foot Meito blade and is the only living soul permitted to touch it.
Class: Gunner (Sniper subclass), Meito Storm Pearl Integration
Role: Ranged suppression, anti-air, anti-naval sniping
Notable Trait: Can fire bullets through fog, storms, or absolute darkness
Hakuyune calls him “the wind’s loud thought.”
Class: Siddhi Practitioner (Yoto-aligned martial artist)
Role: Internal defense, infiltration, spiritual balancing
Notable Trait: Can stop a charging Powder Keg with two fingers
Anzu meditates beside Hakuyune daily.
She is the only Pillar who has seen him angry.
Class: Pirate Doctor (Torso-cluster Specialist)
Role: Medical support, pearl integration consultant, tactical elder
Notable Trait: Can diagnose pearl sickness by smell alone
Tomoru and Hakuyune speak rarely—but understand each other constantly.
Their faces are unknown to the world. Their deeds are unmistakable.
A Yoto assassin who moves like fog and cuts like sleet.
Believed to be female. Believed to be dead. Both may be false.
A cursed-blade wielder capable of rupturing enemy engines silently.
A Meito fire-specialist who burns nothing except intended targets.
A fisherman-turned-monster-hunter who studies Great Pearl Beast behavior.
A stealth courier who crosses entire oceans without being seen once.
A lorekeeper collecting every duel Hakuyune has ever fought.
Some say he is preparing a scripture.
Some say he is preparing a warning.
Though Hakuyune commands only one ship personally, his sword school contributes hundreds of fighters—enough to form a de facto navy.
12 Frost Brigantines
40 Sword-Shrine Skiffs
Dozens of silent courier boats
These are operated by his monastery’s graduates, who swear fealty not to him—but to the ideal he represents:
The Blade that Answers to No Nation.
End conflict without escalation
Strike only when certainty of victory is absolute
Preserve the harmony of the sea over national interests
Let the blade move only when it must
Never teach the unworthy
Hakuyune’s crew does not fight in formation.
They fight like weather:
sudden
graceful
catastrophic
Few Buccaneer captains employ strategy.
Hakuyune employs inevitability.
Cold hostility.
He destroyed three of their admirals before taking the Buccaneer mantle.
Useful tools; not worthy enemies.
Philosophically opposed, politically irrelevant.
Respect from five.
Challenge from one.
Annoyance from Flexor.
He can freeze a sea lane for a mile with a single breath.
His sword ignores armor.
His aura destabilizes hostile pearls.
He has killed more men accidentally than most captains have intentionally.
His calm does not mean mercy.
Most captains rule through charisma or threat.
Hakuyune rules because no one else can stop him.
