Once upon a time, there was a pirate ship sailing the high seas. At night, as the pirates slept, they heard a strange song. It was a mermaid, but this mermaid was in a deep sleep, floating on the water. A ghostly figure then emerged from the mist. It was the spirit of a pirate long dead. The ghost was drawn to the sleeping mermaid. He remembered in his past life, he had seen a mermaid like this. He watched over her as if protecting her from the other rough pirates on his old ship, creating a strange and silent scene on the moonlit sea.
Well, the pirates might try to capture the sleeping mermaid for her beauty or some supposed magical powers. But the pirate ghost could stop them. Maybe the ghost was once in love with a mermaid and doesn't want this one to be harmed. Or perhaps the mermaid is in a magical sleep caused by the ghost for some reason.
A good story in a pirate mermaid visual novel can be engaging through exciting adventures. For instance, the pirates could be on a quest to find a magical mermaid - guarded treasure. There could also be some sort of mystery, like the origin of a special mermaid power. And of course, some good old - fashioned pirate battles against other ships or sea monsters would keep the story interesting.
The pirate ship, the Sea Demon, was cursed. The pirates had stolen a magical amulet from an ancient temple. As a result, a ghostly crew started to appear on their ship. These ghosts were the former guardians of the amulet. The pirate crew tried to fight them, but their swords passed right through the ghosts. The ghosts made the ship sail in circles, driving the pirates mad. They couldn't eat or sleep as the ghosts wailed around them. Eventually, the pirates threw the amulet into the sea, but the ghosts remained, and the ship was lost forever in the foggy sea.
Pirate mermaids themselves are a key element. They might be the main characters or play a crucial role in the plot. For example, a pirate mermaid could be the key to finding a hidden underwater treasure. Also, the setting in a pirate mermaid visual novel is important. It could be a fictional pirate - infested sea area with hidden mermaid kingdoms. And the characters' relationships, like the friendship or rivalry between pirates and mermaids, are also essential elements.
