Once they had boarded the ship using grappling hooks and ropes, instinct and adrenaline had kicked in as the lead pirate disabled the ships rudder, demobilising the craft, while in the darkness, another took out the sailor posted at the ships wheel. Now it was the duty of every single man to engage in hand-to-hand combat in a vicious attempt to overpower the unsuspecting crew.
