To the harbor

You decide it might be a good idea to see if someone new arrived. Maybe there is someone interesting. You get dressed and go outside, walking towards the harbor. You can see a ship at the horizon. The closer it gets, the more ships you can see there. Looks like a busy day. You lend the binoculars from one of the guards and look again. The first ship has a galleonsfigur that looks somewhat like a smiling lion. Even the anchors look like paws. At the end of the mast, a Jolly Rodger waves in the wind. The pirates pride, a black flag with a skull over crossed bones, but this one wears a straw hat. Over all, the ship looks kind of cute.
Behind the ship, there is several big warships, dominated by the colors white and blue. A look at the flag tells you what you already knew. There is seven marine ships following the pirates. Well, five of them already turned around. The others seem to either not have noticed where they are or they want those pirates really bad. You tell the guard, but he already saw it. "Mind if I go?", you ask him with a grin. He shakes his head. "Go, have your fun." You take one of the small boats and rush towards the 3 ships.
