Zypha had considered attempting to skirt around the enemy at one point to head for the harbor, but once the ship was hit by a cannonball her only real choice was to attack.  The Lotus rammed the pirate ship full force, making Zypha wince as she heard the cracking and splintering of wood as the vessels collided; thankfully she managed to hold onto the wheel hard enough to not fall when the collision occurred.  [color=662d91]"That is going to leave a nasty mark, hope we can make it to port without sinking."[/color]

Zypha left the wheel, the ship essentially being stuck on the other ship for the time being which allowed her to leave her post.  Zypha then saw two of the cannon users jump onto their ship, one went for Abigail and the other for her.  Zypha didn't need to worry about Abigail as she was a good fighter, but of course the other pirate tried to use a gun on her.

Crouching low Zypha zipped along the deck, her new jacket dangled off her shoulders, the sleeves dragging behind her since she did not put her arms in the sleeves.  Making sure to zigzag as the pirate fired, the bullet zinged past her and poked a hole through her jacket.  Ignoring that, Zypha reached for her scythe around her waist and lashed out at the pirate with both weapons.

If she managed to take out the pirate right away her next move would be to climb up on the enemy ship to throw a chain-scythe at the third cannoneer to take him out before he could fire another cannonball.  While she would ditch the old boat eventually now was not the time to have the vessel sink on them.  At the moment Zypha identified this cannoneer as their biggest threat.
