-->-- '''''Captain Korsan'''''

''The Pirate Pegasus'' is an adventure fanfic novel written by Mario Hyrulia.

During the Grand Galloping Gala, a bipedal pony named Korsan invades the castle and steals the Diamond Eye, a priceless artifact, and escapes in a floating pirate ship. In response, Twilight and her friends get on their own ship and take off to sea to chase down Korsan. What at first seemed to be a retrieval of the Diamond Eye, turns into a massive villainous plot to eradicate all pegasi and Earth ponies.
