Kai ducked down behind the railing of the ship as bullets started to fly, his own captain instincts were taking over. His mind raced, immediately thinking of at least a dozen countermeasures. The cannons, they could blast the entire dock to pieces, they could face them in open combat, they could shoot them from the rails, they co- And then his mind went blank. Kai watched as Noland, their cook began to fire warning shots and shout at their attackers whilst hiding behind a mere sack of rice.

The Leviathan made his way over to where Noland was stationed, he grabbed the young man by the scruff of his collar “Get down you blasted fool.” The pirate said and forced him to the floor of the ship. Anger filled ex-captain’s eyes as he checked to make sure everyone else was alright before they turned back to the cook. Finally he spoke, his voice gruff and salty again, as it always ended up when they were in a battle. “Noland, listen to me, you’re a pirate now, these people at this very moment are trying to kill us, our captain, the crew, and destroy this ship. There’s no time for you to get compassionate for the enemy…” He paused ducking to avoid some lead being fired from the enemy before he spoke again “I get it, you’re new to this whole piracy thing… But if you can’t handle it, get below deck and wait while we finish this up.” He said before he too leapt off the deck of the ship into the fray of enemies, drawing his blades as he went.

He initially stabbed downward taking down two pirates right from the start. Unfortunately he found himself locked in a circle of six pirates, his eyes darted around noting each of their positions. In a moments time they all engaged in a vicious sword fight. Kai hadn’t done this in quite a long time, however he was still able to parry each and every one of the opponents attacks unfortunately he was unable to launch even a single attack. They had him locked in place, but he didn’t budge an inch, his swords seemed to turn into silver blurs with the speed of his swordplay. However, he wouldn’t ask for any assistance, that wasn’t his style. These pirates wouldn't be attacking his comrades while he had them distracted.
