(Sketch of 'tall guy' was made by me))
The man was starting to get surrounded by everyone on board of the ship, almost all of them pointing at him with swords and guns. Before he knew it, his hands were getting tied together with a (hay) rope, while also being indirectly conducted to the major post. The crowd was mocking him for his attire and the situation, some people saying something, and then being repercuted with laughs from everyone around.
-Alright, alright! Settle down everyone!— A voice cut through the laughs— You all had a good ol' time with our guest, and now-!
The ones who were near the man moved out of the way of the mysterious tall figure that was approaching him, his heart filled with fear of what could come next.
-It's my turn... — The crew cheered for a few seconds, and with a single movement of the hand, everyone was quiet again— Now, you little old man... What in god's name were you doin' on my ship?
-I... I was j-just — He stuttered — T...trying to find s-some... something
-Oh, please! Don't try to fool me — The tall guy said, annoyed— We both know that ain't true!
-Cut him up! — Someone said from the top of the stairs, and the crew agreed while lifting up their weapons
-Don't worry guys, I'll get to that in a second — The figure said menacingly
-Stop this! Please, I have a wife and kid that I need to-! — The man cried out
-Bah! Excuses, excuses. Don't you know? Your wife is right here! C, why don't you bring her on top with us?— The figure said.
Two of the people sitting nearby the stairs went through a trapdoor, and moments later brought a woman wearing a wine colored long dress, being held down by the two men.
-Amelia! — The man shouted
-Aww, how sweet... Maybe if you shout more your daughter will answer — The tall figure said mockingly while approaching closer to the man's face — And maybe with a bit of patience, your son may answer... Dad!
-W...William? — The man said while trying to contain his fear
-Hah... Hahaha... AHAHAHAHAHA! — The tall man laughed hysterically , his crew being awfully quiet, his laughter echoed through the entire ship — So that was my name all along?! William?!? Pfft... Well, that name is really, really... Unfitting... Don't you think so? —He said with a menacing grin
-We... we chose it in honour of your grandfather — He said nervously
-I couldn't care less who my grand-pa is. Not when I didn't even know the name of my father! — He kicked the man in the stomach causing him to fall on the floor— You sold me off to that clock-maker when I was just a toddler! You... YOU NEVER CAME BACK FOR ME! — He repeatedly kicked him
-W...wi...will...! — The man said in between every punch
-I'M —He took out a knife and slashed it at the man — NOT — Over — WILLIAM — And over — MY — And over... — NAME — Again — IS — And again... — FLOI!
As Floi was about take the final swing he was distracted by Amelia clinging to his shoulder.
-S... St... top... p...please! — She said crying
Floi kicked the woman, knocking her over to his crew mates.
-Don't you dare think for a second that you're scot-free from this, mother! You poisoned me! That very afternoon... — The corners of his eyes started to fill with tears — Agh! I don't want to remember! — He stomped the floor, while grabbing his own hair.
Floi quickly wiped the small amount of water in his eyes, and directed his attention to the man.
-And for how much was I sold?! How much did the life of your son cost?! — Floi shouted.
-Agh... It... It was... a lot — The man said in pain
-Give me an exact number! — He said
-Two... gah... thousand... — The man said, struggling to catch his breath
-So... Two grand, huh? Was that... it?! — Floi asked angrily
The man trembled, but was able to say timidly - I'm... so sorry, I — He was cut off by Floi
-Do you have ANY IDEA of WHAT I went through?!? — He grabbed the man by the neck of his shirt — Can you even IMAGINE the PAIN?! — Tears started to form in his eyes
-I wish I knew it, Floi... I'm sorry... — The man said in tears
-What you gon' do about it? — He said while shaking the man
-I don't k-know... — The man stuttered
Floi turned around, facing his crew.
-Gentleman! Today we're having a burial at sea! — He said as he lifted the man, the crowd cheered while Amelia cried out.
Floi slowly walked to the back of the ship, letting everyone insult the man along the way.
-Make him dance the hempen jig! — Someone from the back of the ship exclaimed
-You're shark bait, old man! — Someone shouted from the crow's nest
He let the man hang over the cold, and almost black water.
-The price of your greed is your son and your daughter! — Floi screamed at the man, while pointing his blade at the man's throat — I am the STORM you FEAR!
The man tried to escape, failing miserably and making Floi angrier.
-WHAT YOU GON' DO WHEN THERE'S BLOOD IN THE WATER?!? — He stabbed the neck of the man —WHEN THERE'S BLOOD IN THE WATER?!
Floi threw harshly the body of the man into the water, the water combined with blood splashing all the way up to his face.
Amelia cried and screamed while the men aboard celebrated.
-That's what you get... — Floi said as he carelessly wiped the blood off his face — What are you all looking at? Get to work! At dawn this ship better be ready!
The crowd groaned but all reluctantly followed their captain's orders. Meanwhile Amelia sat on the wooden boards, crying her heart out into her hands, Floi annoyed from her wimpers sttoped and glanced down at her, and then proceeded to put a wooden board that connected to the dock, secured it with ropes, and walked back to the woman.
- Agh... Look. This whole deal was mostly between me and your husband, and... I basically already took out everything I had against you... And my sister... so, you're free to leave.
Between cries Amelia answered -I... I can't... I've lost everything... My husband my daughter... I— Before Floi interrupted.
-Your daughter is safe... I left her with my... f-friends in a nearby tavern, she is perfectly fine — He said in a slightly annoyed, yet concerned tone.
-I... I don't have a home a-anymore... — Amelia said still crying.
-Oh about that... Uhh... — Floi started to get worried — I'll figure something out, but for now... theres an inn close to the Rattlesnake...
-T-Thank you... but I don't know where it is... — She answered while slowly getting up
- Oh for the love of... Hey! Copper! You're in charge, I have to go out! — Floi shouted to a man carrying some ropes.
The man carrying them dropped them to a guy who was next to him, which him to fall down from the weight.
- Why you out so soon? We're all still busy! — Copper answered.
- You know the answer — Floi answered sarcastically.
Copper began shouting orders, while Floi grabbed Amelia by the hand leading her onto land.
They began walking to the place, when suddenly...

I'm going to stop it right here, otherwise I'll continue adding into the sunrise.
This one is already it's own story, but since I got this idea I wanted to put it down.
