Cheng Li

When we first meet Cheng Li, she is already a Deputy Captain at just nineteen years-old. She’s second-in-command aboard notorious pirate ship, The Diablo, but to say that she and Captain Molucco Wrathe are at odds is a gross understatement. Cheng Li has been groomed by the Pirate Federation and graduated with flying colours from Pirate Academy. The daughter of Chang Ko Li – revered as “the best of the best” but killed in a common brawl – Cheng Li has a lot to live up to and she’s not wasting any time in building a reputation as one of the smartest and most ruthless new-wave of pirate warriors. With the twin katanas on her back always poised for action, you don’t want to mess with her. Can she be trusted? Well, the jury’s out on that but you’d better watch your back while she’s around. With an ambition as vast as the oceans, this tough cookie is definitely going places!
