[b][u]The Coral Pearl[/b][/u] "I'll make it the best meal you've ever had." Nolan grinned from ear to ear, laughing at the way Luro interacted with the women. He was a nice guy and so far had been the easiest one to get along with. Nolan liked the pirate and hoped that they could be friends. The others were a bit more gruff, making it a tad harder to have casual conversations. The cook was just about to bid them farewell and retreat to the kitchen, however, suddenly he heard a familiar voice. [b]"Incoming."[/b] Wasn't that the captain? He made his way towards the ledge only for a coin purse to crash into his face. Nolan stumbled back a little as a few more hit him in the stomach. He scrambled to pick them up then eyed both Kai and the captain as they struggled to get on the ship. "What on earth?" Shouts echoed throughout the docks as men clad in leather began to appear, each of them were visibly upset and they even threatened to sink the ship. They had only been here for a few hours and they had gotten into trouble already? Nolan let out a sigh, these people really were amazing, though at the moment he didn't think that was a good thing. "We're under attack!" He yelled before scrambling to throw the pouches of gold into a chest. His fellow Stardusk pirate Luro didn't even think twice, and before he knew it the pirate had leaped off the ship, attacking enemies left and right and even having a casual conversation while he was at it! Wait what? Prisoners? Nolan noticed the captain clambering onto the deck and he rushed towards the girl, easily lifting her off her feet. His big brother instincts took over and soon he was fussing and dusting her off. She was as young as his little sister, and it amazed him how she was already a captain. "I don't think we should kill any of them!" If they committed murder, they'd be wanted in this town and he really, really, didn't want them to have anyone's blood on their hands. He noticed one of the pirates sneaking up on Luro, so Nolan grabbed the nearest thing he could (a giant potato), took aim, and threw the thing with all his might. It collided into one of their enemy's faces and the man fell off the docks with a splash. The pirate flailed around and screamed, it really looked like he didn't know how to swim and suddenly Nolan felt a pang of worry. "Just try to float, or grab onto a piece of wood!" The cook grabbed a rifle from behind one of the barrels and began aiming at the enemy's feet. "I suggest you leave, we really don't want any trouble." He put on his stern face, the face he used whenever one of his little siblings were being troublesome. "I could point this gun at your head right now, but we could really just talk it out--" before he could say more a bullet whizzed past his head and one of the pirates yelled at him to just shut up. "Eurgh!" He ducked. The man had never been in a fight before and he could feel his heart hammering inside his chest. What were they supposed to do, just shoot these people? He positioned himself behind a sack of rice and began to fire warning shots.
