As Zypha spun the wheel and turned the ship to face the enemy ship, two of the cannonballs completely missed as they crashed into the water beside it. The middle cannonball struck it's target however and exploded, leaving a deep crack in the front side of the ship. Fortunately there was no gaping hole, but it wasn't in very good shape. Before the enemy pirates could do anything else, the Lotus ship rammed into their ship with full force. Most of the pirates, including the captain, lost their balance and fell over. The three cannoneers managed to remain standing due to holding onto the cannons. "Oi, get yer ass offa me!" A pirate shouted. "What are ya dolts waiting for?! Kill em already!" The captain barked as he slowly began to get back onto his feet.

The first cannoneer on the left unsheathed his blade, and leaped onto the Lotus ship's deck, slashing diagonally at Abigail's chest. The second one hopped onto the deck as well, and pulled out a flintlock pistol, quickly firing it at Zypha. The third cannoneer began to reload his cannon, readying another cannonball.

"OI! The prisoners are escaping!" One of the pirates barked, as Chroma broke the door open. The closest pirate charged at her immediately, and grabbed his broadaxe. He swung it downward at her head.

The other four pirates readied their weapons in the meantime. Two of them grabbed their blades while a third aimed his rifle. The fourth one pulled out two flintlock pistols and took aim as well. They could not interfere yet as the hallway was rather thin, and the first pirate was blocking their vision. Right after this, a massive shockwave went through the ship as the Lotus ship rammed into it, knocking everyone off-balance for a moment.
