Once again the captain had to take matters into his own hands. As the crew he had picked wasn't nearly up to par for fights like this, let alone against actual tough opponents. Ceres put up another wall of water, and Ace did his job too in stopping the rest of the cannon balls. But they wouldn't be able to keep up for long like this. As the other ship looked like it had room for several more cannons. Which were probably being readied already.

However the woman then noticed something. Once again they were moving closer to the other ship. Whomever the guy at the wheel was, he was pretty crap at steering a ship. As even with her little experience in doing so, she could do a better job. She rushed towards the steering wheel and pushed the man aside, taking it herself instead. "This is why I wouldn't want random thugs off the street on my ship!" She exclaimed, not really caring if Octavius heard her or not. She quickly brought the ship back on the right course, so they could keep their distance. Though the new course didn't last for long. As, probably by luck, another two cannon balls hit the other ship's bow. Close together, but it created large enough a hole for a lot of water to start gushing in.

Ceres grinned, suddenly making a hard turn towards the Powder Keg. As it was clear that well over half it's gunpowder would already be wet before they reached it at this speed. Unlike the idiot men in the crew she didn't need orders to know what was the right time to start preparing for boarding. "It's about fuckin' time ya dumbasses!" She yelled as she turned her attention to staying near the back of the ship, so cannons wouldn't be able to reach them until it was already too late.
