Soon enough Ray and Kai came bursting through the doors, weapons drawn.

Both men began to yell threats as Nolan scrambled to his feet. The stowaway looked more like a child than a pirate though he wasn't that naive, and he understood that looks could be quite deceiving. "Behind the barrels," he had mumbled, only for the girl to be caught moments later. He didn't know whether she was a bloodthirsty pirate or a hungry person who had snuck in for a meal, so a part of him felt guilty for her capture, it was kind of silly.

He shot her an apologetic look and watched as she was tied up and dragged onto the deck. He felt his heart hammer inside his chest in worry, but thankfully Runa decided to question the girl. Hopefully, it was just a misunderstanding. 

The cook twiddled his thumbs, one hand on his rifle. Yes, he wasn't exactly fond of violence, but he did have a good aim.

He let out a sigh and waited for the interrogation to happen, but it never did. For no reason at all, the ship in the distance began firing at them, the waves rocking their ship. For crying out loud! It had only been a few hours since their last battle, what did those guys even want? The captain mentioned something about a slave ship and Nolan ended up wondering if he'd ever live to see another day. Wait, wait! He had to, for his parents, siblings and Annie!

"We can't just leave her tied up, not while they're firing." Before he could say more Luro untied Danny and Nolan gave the man a thumbs up. The girl didn't seem like a threat and he sympathized with her. He had become a pirate because of adventure's call too. When the ocean calls, it's hard to refuse.

"Captain, do we fire with the canons?" Nolan was already running across the deck towards the cannonballs. He grabbed two, and scrambled to load the canons nearest to the rest of the crew. Slavers weren't the nicest people, and if they put these guys out of commission then maybe they'd actually be able to help some kidnapped people. Luro tossed a cutlass at the now freed stowaway and Nolan began to fill up the canons. 

The ship lurched to the side as another cannonball sent waves their way. Nolan gritted his teeth then grabbed hold of a now full canon. "Do I have permission to fire, captain?"

The captain nodded her head and he aimed. It was rather hard since the waves were tossing the boat around but he managed. The first cannonball merely hit the water but the second one managed to graze the enemy ship.
