Martel had no intentions of remaining near the squib, and honestly hadn't intended to prey on ships anyways. Instead, he told the Tailwind's captain to meet him at the island where they had found the four way brawl, while he was heading out further to do some light raiding. He would be there in ten days, and since he kept the pay chests in his cabin, he had a feeling the crew would ensure they met up, especially with the far larger pay the crew would get from him. That, and the entertainment and fairly light work schedule would ensure a far higher loyalty than was normal, and that was BEFORE taking into account that the crew now firmly believed he had soloed a dire tiger on his lonesome without breaking a sweat. That he had its hide displayed in his cabin where it was easily visible when the door was opened didn't hurt the rumors in the least.
