"Enemy ship approaching!" The man in the crow's nest yells down. Harry was on the poop deck when one of his crewmembers yelled it out.

Louis was on the main deck helping Niall with some barrels. Everyone became highly alert at the announcement.

"Listen up!" Harry yells as he stands at the quarter deck. "They don't come to our ship! You know I don't like blood staining our ship! We go to them! If you find the captain, bring him to me! You are not to kill the captain! If you find any slaves or prisoners, you bring them to me! Now get ready!" Harry commands.

A chorus of cheers are heard before the plank is being readied and everyone is running. As the ship gets closer the plank is lowered and everyone including Louis runs on board the enemy ship. Harry is right behind Louis as they board.

Immediate cries and bodies dropping are heard around them. A man twice the size of Louis comes charging towards him, Louis dodges the cutlass that is swung at him and kicks the man's feet from under him. The man falls to the ground with a thud and Louis uses that moment to his advantage and swings his cutlass, effectively severing the man's throat.

Louis leaves him to bleed out as he swings his cutlass at another man. He does all of this with one hand behind his back. He can't help but feel like these men are amateurs.

He glances over to Harry fighting two men at once. He doesn't see the man behind him approaching with his cutlass readied but Louis does.

As Harry is on the main deck and he is on the quarter deck, he doesn't have time to run to aid him. Instead he pulls out one of his flintlock pistols and fires it directly into the third attacker's head as he holds his cutlass up to avoid the man swinging at him.

As the dead body drops behind the captain, Harry slices the throats of the two men and looks behind him only to see a dead body. He then looks up to see Louis winking at him before thrusting his cutlass into an enemy's heart.

Harry smirks back at him before returning to the men running at him.
It doesn't take long, before the wood is stained crimson.

Louis is the one to find the captain hiding in the cargo hold. Louis moves quietly. Once behind the captain, he holds his cutlass to the man's neck. "Get up!" He tells the man who gets up trembling.

Louis pushes him forward as they walk back towards the main deck. Louis pushes the man into the light and calls for Harry. "Harry! Found him in the cargo hold." He tells the captain once he gets his attention.

Harry smiles and walks towards the man as he yells at Louis. "Are you crazy!? You can't call him by his name? Do you want to die boy?!" The enemy ship's captain yells at Louis in disbelief.

Harry laughs as he approaches. "Mi cielo can call me anything he wants." Harry says. "You on the other hand, cannot." Harry's face goes cold.

In one swift motion, Harry severs the man's throat and Louis jumps back to avoid getting blood on his clothes.

The captain's body drops to the bloodied wood. Harry bends down and takes the nicest feather from the captain's tricorn and puts it in his own.
He then walks over to Louis. "Well done Príncipe and thank you for saving my life back there. You were good for your first attack." Harry says as he leans down and pulls the man into a kiss.

"I was being selfish when I saved you." Louis says when they pull back.

"I bet you did." Harry smirks as he straightens up. "Any prisoners?" Harry asks Zayn who comes back from the brig.

"No cap'n." He says.

"Take what we need back to our ship." Harry says before he takes Louis's hand and leads them back to 'The Bloody Pearl.'
