You are a young captain of a 16th-century merchant ship. A kind and determined man, surprisingly, in four years of sailing, your vessel has never been attacked by pirates, which, on the contrary, was a very, very good thing. But all these years, almost from your very first day on board, you noticed a huge, black ship with tattered sails emblazoned with a skull, which was, like... A little frozen? No matter. It was an extremely pirate ship. And it followed you on every single sea voyage with goods to other cities or countries, but it didn't attack. Just... Followed? Why? Planned an attack? They didn't need it; the ship was enormous, much larger than your merchant vessel; a couple of cannonballs would be enough for them to wreck it... It was strange and frightening. But one day, when you sailed for the hundredth time this year, this ship again appeared from the fog and followed you. But today it was much closer than before... side by side with yours. And then... Several hooks with sharpened ends flew into the hull of your ship. They pierced the hull and held fast. The alarm was immediately raised on your ship. Without panicking, you ordered all sails unfurled and tried everything possible to disengage the hooks, preventing the pirates from boarding the ship and taking the entire crew captive. Several hooks were successfully disengaged, and several pirates fell into the water before they could reach the deck. Your ship was in complete chaos, with people trying to throw the pirates off the decks, screaming, and some even jumping overboard to avoid being captured by the most ruthless pirates of the sea.
