"Yep" the three sailors said. the youngest one tugged on your sleeve, "Do we really have to fight? I don't know how to work a cannon.. plus those ships were scary.."

"We'll only use the cannon if we need to. But I hope that we can just sneak around them like before." Ivan said. "They said for us to head out, and they'd follow us behind."

The sailors gave a nod and soon you started sailing. A pigeon was used, delivering a message, "We are going straight in to an attack. Look after Tin Tin. Slow down, Captain Emil will lead. Aim for the pirates captain, they will fall and then it'll be okay."

"The bird's name is Tin Tin?" Ivan said, looking at the pigeon distastefully. "Okay, but if he poops on the deck..." He started to slow down, waiting for the others to catch up.

The captain soon caught up and overtook, the other four ships went into formation with you behind the captain. you saw the pirates after a while of travelling. Tin Tin was well behaved and soon flew to another ship.

"I wonder if we attack like a bunch of rabid monkeys or if we have a plan." Ivan said. "It also seems that Tin Tin left. Maybe he went to go find Snowy."

"Snowy?" one of the sailors asked cautiously.

you pirates seemed to come towards you, there were 8 ships. They all encircled the captain. If the captains were defeated, the fleet would automatically lose. It seemed like an unfair battle, especially with you, but then again, players were automatically op..

Ivan surveyed their position. He took a deep breath. "I'll tell you later. Right now, we need to follow orders. We need to attack! Now, where did I put that Cannon instruction manual???"

You somehow knew that you just had to point at the ship and the canon would fire if you were in range and standing behind it, because meh. The battle started and the ships split up, you found yourself between a pirate and the pirates captain. Canon balls were just flying randomly everywhere..

Ivan thought logically. Killing the Captain was his first priority. He pulled out his musket. "Please pardon me while I load this..." he said.
