Written and drawn by Nick Daniel, 70-Seas is the (mostly) lighthearted story of the adventures of Lewk of Azeramethonrel (not really from Azeramethonrel), Nikol Mimagi (AKA Mimagi Niku), and Serra Serif (Self proclaimed most badass pirate alive), as they travel around, suffering through an endless series of hijinks. Oh, and land moves. The world is well developed, the characters are witty and engaging, the story is enjoyable and fun, and the art is... interesting. Definitely worth a read. Found here.

Needs some Wiki Magic. The webcomic appears to have finished in 2013.

Tropes used in 70-Seas include:

• Abnormal Ammo: The first chapter opens with church agents launching jellyfish at our heroes.
  • The fifth chapter revolves around a giant squid fired from a cannon.
• Badass: Nikol, who can clobber a dozen full grown men by the time most people can have a conversation, Serra, who can take on an entire crew of other pirates and win easily. As for the other member of our Power Trio? Well, he's... Lewk.
  • In much the same vein, the Kings; Bludgeon King, Boomerang King, and Spaz. One of them is a killing machine. One of them is a child. The two overlap.
• Bilingual Dialogue: In God Dog the titular hound is fully capable of understanding the common language of the more anthropomorphized characters, but needs a translator to have his language of grunts and growls understood by them.
• Body Surf: Grin.
• Conversational Troping: Sword, Fish, one of the secondary storylines, involves a discussion between two sisters on various destiny tropes.
• Fantasy Counterpart Culture: Several. The Republican Empire of Fra is a cross between America and the British Empire, Eto is Japan, the Sorse are the Norse, Tarka is Greece, and Wetonet is England. Maybe. They have a very fancy flag, though.
• Parody/Homage: Of the Last Supper here.
  • And of Brave and the Bold #28 (the first appearance of the Justice League of America) here.
• Genre Savvy: Nikol explains how ninja training works.
• Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja: Yes, it's a webcomic about pirates. However, it became 1000% more interesting when a ninja appeared. And then more ninjas appear. And then wannabe ninjas appeared. The author likes ninjas, apparently.
• Just a Kid: Nikol is a prepubescent, yet can take on an entire pirate crew single handed.
• Knight Templar: Sawl the Vigilant.
• Mad Scientist: Mary Mendele, much to the chagrin of her fellow nuns.
• Mr. Alt Disney: Waldo Frizzy creator of Toby Terrier and Toby Town.
• Neck Snap: Played with. Nikol snaps a guard's neck, then puts it back.
• Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: There's a crew of pirates. Then a ninja appears. The ninja becomes a pirate. The ninja is now a pirate ninja.
• Similar Squad: Chapter V involves the gang running into another group of Fra privateers consisting of a quack doctor, a Scottish Highlander equivalent, and one of Serra's half-sisters (her old man really ^{[dead link]} got around).
• Squee: Apparently pirate queens are not immune.
• Tomato Surprise: Used offensively in the side story, Lost and Found when a man in a stolen Toby Terrier convinces the Toby Town security guards that have surrounded him that he was a lost child who grew up in the park's lost and found, only to reveal that it was actually the park guards who had been raised in the lost and found and suppressed their memories of it.
• Translator Microbes: In Tossa Roto, Dirk Angelous's pet bird, Pally, can perfectly translate the words of any two languages it has heard. However the order of those words remain untranslated.
• Turtle Island: Oh, come on!. Played for Laughs, at Lewk's expense.
• Waif Fu: Nikol Mimagi (a.k.a. Mimagi Niku), is easily the most lethal of the three main characters even though the other two are adults.
  • Though to be fair, the other two are against killing. For different reasons.
