Da would be pleased with the plunder they acquired, disabling three Spanish ships and ridding the high seas of two warships, but as they held back looking for Capt. John’s signal, it seemed the warships were nowhere in sight.  When he finally gave the go ahead, every crew member knew their role and the three man-o-wars made quick work of their prey.  Heavy in booty, it was lacking in any type of firepower and a prime example of Spain’s greed.  Pirates suffered very few casualties and each ship was soon chock-full of gold and silver.  “I think we can retire with enough money to start a new life.” Michael commented to Rosy.  They waited for word to prepare to fend off the sneaky warships or cut and run for it.  On the Spanish ship, the captains made short the job and was alerted the war ships were waylaid, choosing to pounce upon a lone English Frigate.  Hearing the news, Capt. John declared he was going to the English ship’s aid, “You two are now free to do as you please, but I would welcome the company and help, if ye be of a mind to.”  If it wasn’t for his plan, they wouldn’t be standing there enjoying the moment.<br/><br/>They took whatever weapons they could, ensuring the Spanish could not seek retribution, at least not in the near future.  Both she and Capt. Fleming cut ropes and came about to follow Capt. John, hurrying to aid the English ship.  Calls from the crow’s nest alerted them their quarry was dead ahead.  The two Spanish ships were so confident in disabling their prey and were not expecting three able ships, flying the jolly roger to swoop in them and make mincemeat of their well laid plans.  Rosy’s crew who got to know the crew of the Sea Raven and the story of their capture, enslavement, and reason for pirating, understood the motivation behind the attack.  It was luck of the draw on the high seas who was killed or enslaved when the Spanish got a hold of you.
