''Destiny's Hand'' is no longer running as a webmanga on Seven Seas Entertainment's site and has been replaced by the Moonlight Meow manga.

The ship she and her parents are traveling on is taken by the ''Destiny's Hand''. When Diego threatens her father, Olivia manages to defeat him with a knife and her wits. Captain Blaine gives her a favor, and Olivia asks to join the crew of the Destiny's Hand. Her father disowns her, and she joins the crew of Destiny's Hand. Three years later, it is Owen who is telling Olivia's story to their captives. When they are about to depart, they are attacked by the 'Kraken', Mulgrew's ship. After a fierce battle, Blaine's only good lung had been pierced. With Captain Blaine dying, he appoints the only person he considers brave enough to lead a crew to find the Devil's Eye: Olivia Soldana. Blaine then tells of Destiny's Hand's Five Fingers that guide her, Olivia, Diego, Matthau, and Badru. He also tells them of the Fifth finger, a scholar who reads the ancient language of Priscus. After, the crew heads to Vickensburg where they attempt to recruit Elias, the Governor's son and the Index finger who should point the way to the Devil's Eye. Blaine gives them a picture of the ship's Figurehead, Lady Kate and tells them that showing it to him should convince him to join them. Olivia and Badru sneak into the governor's mansion and ask Elias. Elias refuses to join them, so Olivia and Badru leave the picture and return to the ship. Upon their return, it is revealed that Elias is Blaine's son. It also reveals some of Blaine's past and the story of Lady Kate. Lady Kate was actually based on a woman named Katherine who was going to be forced to marry the governor's son. She asked for passage of Blaine's ship. Katherine practiced some sort of magic, a form of future sight and used it to steer Blaine's ship in the right direction, and avoid storms. She also sees the future Mulgrew's attempt to capture the Devil's Eye, and when she was pregnant, she told Blaine she had to marry the governor's son so that their son would grow up to be a scholar. Katherine later died in childbirth. Olivia then goes back to the governor's mansion and kidnaps Elias and brings him back to Destiny's Hand. She then tells him Blaine is his father. When Elias and Blaine meet face-to-face, Elias points a gun to Blaine's head, stating that his father is the Governor of Vickensburg. Blaine tells the others to leave while he talks with Elias. After some time, Elias joins them in the search for the Devil’s Eye and calls Blaine “father”. Inside the library in Valroux, Elias and Olivia learn that a new law has been passed: “Any pirate found on Valroux soil is to be detained, tried, and executed.” Even the pirates of Destiny’s Hand are no exception. Olivia is forced to wound Michel so he isn’t seen allied with the pirates. From the book Elias stole, he manages to figure out that the book was about Josiah Zevon’s quest in search of the Devil’s Eye. Apparently he had a map to Isle du Diablo. He tore it into quarters, gave three to his most trusted lieutenants, and kept the fourth to himself. Matthau was once a cabin boy aboard Zevon’s ship. He knew that Zevon retired to a small island, northwest of Permonde. Later, the Kraken is following them. From a message inside a bottle, Mulgrew learns of Destiny’s Hand’s crew fallout and that they have a piece of the map and going to get another. Sometime later, Blaine asks Owen to write the tales of Olivia’s adventures after he finishes with Blaine’s. When Owen leaves, Blaine tells Olivia that he wants the crew to accept her as captain before telling them of Blaine’s sickness. Olivia, Matthau, Badru, and Owen journey to Zevon’s island. They learn that Zevon burnt his piece of the map. When they leave, Zevon didn’t burn it but hid it. Back on the ship, Elias touches Lady Kate figurehead and hears a voice in his head. She tells him that they are in danger. When Zevon tried to finally burn the map, Mulgrew stopped him. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Destiny's Hand」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
