[b][u]The Coral Pearl[/b][/u] Ray's quick thinking and initiative helped Nolan keep himself calm. It was reassuring to know that some of the people were experienced and knew what they were doing. He turned to look Danni and gave her a reassuring smile, but before he knew it the girl left her own canon and began making her way towards the other ship. "Hey, be careful!" He knew Kai, Luro, and Ray could handle themselves, but the girl was even smaller than the captain and his older brother instincts began kicking in. Nolan let out a sigh before a steely look crossed his face. He began loading the canons. "Firing in three--captain you might want to stand back a little." He aimed at the approaching ship. Kai was handling more than a handful of angry men on the deck while Luro began making his way below deck. The cook aimed the canon at one of the more crowded parts on the deck and fired. It caused some of the slavers to fall overboard and a few that had approached his friends backed off. None of them wanted to get their heads blown off. He fired another round then moved away from the canon when he heard yells and the sound of thudding steps. A few of the slavers had actually managed to get on board. The captain was handling them, but she was injured and he didn't want her to push herself. "Captain! I'm coming." With a war cry that sounded rather silly he picked up a mop and charged straight at one of the slavers. Nolan was in now way skilled with a weapon, but a man of 6'3 running at breakneck speed was a force to be reckoned with. He slammed the mop's handle right into the man's stomach and he let out a yelp before he fell overboard with a loud splash. Most of the slavers were focusing on Kai and the others who had ran onto the next ship so it was rather peaceful on the coral pearl. The cook peered over the railing only to see one of the slaves clinging to their ship. His eyes widened. "Hang on! I'll get you something to grab onto." Nolan disappeared only to return with a flotation device attached to a rope. He tossed it down then motioned for Marcos to grab onto it. The man pulled his rifle out from its holster then began aiming at the enemy. He managed to shoot at two but made sure he only shot them in the leg. "Hurry, grab onto the rope!" Next to the railings they were pretty much exposed.
