“"So What do we got?" Captain asked with a surprised look just how easily they have captured that ship.
"It seems like that vassal is only carrying one passenger and seems like he know how to control that ship." First man answered.
"only one man is capable of controlling that ship.. That's odd. Ok how's the interrogation is going on."
"He is not able to understand our tongue our mages are preparing a speech Translation magic."
"Before we can proceed bring him to me and firstly have take our Analyst to have a look at the status of that ship.", Captain dismissed him and give a look to his sword. 'Seems like you are not alone.'
- At the Pirates camp
A guy came near me and asked in English, "Hey are you from America" I nodded, "Good I can help you and we can leave from here together. Just tell me how many of us are here.".
that guy was in pretty bad shape with very pale skin and looked quite weak. But I can't trust him just like that if it is trap It may be hard to get out of here. I bluffed, "There are 100 of us out there will be attacking them any minute now, Just free me and we can hide from the assault." In the meantime he loosen up my ropes. I should trust him for now as he looked more relieved then troubled from my statement.
"But how did they hid their position from the mages? ...". before he could continue a person came in tried to made me drink some blue coloured liquid.
At the camp they asked me to drink a portion. Firstly i hesitated but i give in after some time as my newly acquired nodded me to do so.
After drinking that bitter drink a blue screen pop up.
You have acquired Speech translation skill.
That's quite handy.
Then they took me to the guy seems like to be their captain who was polishing a sword on which you can see water is dripping from the sharp curved edge. That sword was quite fascinating to look at.
"Are you the one in command of that ship?" I nodded.
"So you are the only passenger from that metal ship. Let me keep it straight give me that ship control or you can suffer quite a lot."
"Even if i wanted to give you i can't.", i answered.
"Okay then i just have to kill you." When he bring up his sword to give the final blow. I ordered the ship to fire one HE straight from one of the Secondary Gun toward the captain and get the floating plane to take off to pick up my new friend i also kept the Main Gun on standby because i had bad feeling for that sword of his.
The secondary round missed him by 5 meter but the blast should have killed him. During the whole commotion i make a run for it in the nearest cave.
"What happened..... who attacked us.", Captain asked he was burned from the back with a pissed look, but his 20 of the crew member wasn't so fortunate.
"Captain seems like we have been attacked from a explosive volley from that ship. At the same time that flying creature took off."
The Analyst returned with a worried look and told, "Captain are you alright..! I have some amazing and disturbing news for that ship."
"I am fine shoot already.", Captain spoke angrily.
"That ship is no passenger ship at all, It's a warship it is on a whole other level compare to empire Man-O-War. That ship could even take on kraken in its prime."

"What do you mean in its prime?", Captain asked while analyzing his surrounding and planning how to acquire that ship.
"Here see for yourself."

After 15 min.
Rogers move toward the harbor of the abandoned city in search of a boat to get to the IOWA in the meantime iowa started to move toward him near the swallow water.

Two secondary round was fired from the IOWA and hit one of the Longship to catch fire on impact as a blast ingulf the whole ship. The second round missed by 5 meter.
BANG…!!
A huge shot of ice from the front cannon of the galion was fired.
The front of the ship including the water was frozen. It did some damage but i could see they were trying to stop to ship to board on it. But it could only hold IOWA for a couple of second and then with a cracking sound it was free again and i ordered it to ram the gallion but to my surprise pirates have the same intention.
At the collision for some reason the IOWA bow got deflected and i got a notification.

When the two ship come sidewise i moved the main cannon toward the gallion it.
Pirate POV -
The moment we were getting ready to board the ship and do some heavy damage using the side cannon a huge pipe from the metallic ship came toward my face. I realised that huge pipe is cannon after a few sec and fell of the fear from the size of it.
BOOOM......
Kunkka POV(Pirates Captain)
The whole ship was on fire. I can’t believe what just happened in front my eye. The ship crumbles below my feets. I was bleeding from my shoulder seems like some wooden plank pierced me.
Ahhhhhhh….!!! ,I pulled it out and jumped the ship and using the floating plank start to swim.
I make it to the shore and saw my dear “Black Fire”(name of the ship) in flames in front of my eyes. I swear to god i will make him suffer.
Rogers POW
I reached to the place where the captain has washed of too.
“You are dead mate i burn your family and everyone you love Just like you killed my love.”, Captain spoke with anger and pain in his eyes.
Pirate came running toward me and aimed his sword ready to swing at my head.
Before He could reach me i fired the pistol and he fell on the ground as the bullet hits his chest.
