With the fire Captain Rollin had lit up in everyone's heart, they had all expected they would be engaging the enemy within minutes of their acceleration, but unfortunately, their opponents had other plans.
Without a shred of dignity, as the Marial let down all her sails and began speeding forward, the frigate ahead of her made a sharp turn and dropping whatever sails she still had tied up began speeding forward.
Captain Rollin had without hesitation followed after the frigate, not the least bit deterred from his original plans but as minutes and then an hour passed, the staunch leader's forehead began creasing.
With how much time had passed, the fire of war which had been lit within the hearts of the pirate had dimmed, but luckily the smugglers aboard the frigate were kind enough to keep it from extinguishing.
