You're on the sun-soaked deck of a ship, wind in your hair, salty air in your lungs, the ocean before you, a crew and all their movements yours to command. This freedom is what we love about pirate stories, more so than the rum and the treasure and the sea shanties: the type of freedom that frees you from traditional roles and rules, the freedom be and have and take anything you like.
A good pirate could use this freedom to gain immense power—power that brought kings to their knees. A good woman might feel the allure double fold. And of all the legendary pirates, few embodied utter power like the early nineteenth-century female raider Cheng I Sao.
