The pirate had their mast cracked and damaged by the cannon fire thanks to Nina's aim, barely still upright and their figurehead broken on the savage rocks, still, they'd made it far enough into the jagged rocks that their pursuers had held off, making their only obstacle the isle. Even with an experienced hand at the wheel the rocks were too numerous to avoid fully and the constant grating sound of wood being crushing and scraped could be heard as they careened deeper into the treacherous waters. Eventually they managed to off-land half crash on a somewhat sandy shore, the wood of the ship smashing roughly into the sand, the ship seeming to groan as they came to a rest: not far from two other individuals on the makeshift beach.

They would find themselves amid a graveyard of ships, wrecked wood, broken figureheads, and all sorts of junk lay either on the shores or skewered on the spiky rocks all around the makeshift harbor they had. The marine ships would find themselves outside the dangerous rocks, some likely confident in their prey's demise. It would have been nice to retrieve the ship but no one had really expected that to be an option. One of the ships began turning around, headed back to its original station now that it believed the mission complete. Draco and Raphael's ships were free to done as they pleased, they had no immediate orders after this other than an overarching 'hunt down pirates'.
