    Simon grinned when he spotted the dark wood of a little ship, a few men at most on board, he hadn’t bothered paying attention to the flag as he shouted to his men. “Go! Invade! Steal!” Simon roared, he grinned as he watched his men swarm the few men on board the smaller ship. “Another easy takedown.” Simon snickered before someone tapped his shoulder, when he turned to see one of the most horrified looks on his best man’s face he knew what he had to say couldn’t be good. “S-Sir..” His best man was pointing to something behind him, Simon turned before his jaw may as well have fallen off. A giant fucking ship, maybe 3 times his own ships size, the same color and the same fucking flag. How stupid could he be? He didn’t pay attention to the flag, the oh so important flag that wouldn’t told him that he may or may not have attacked the most feared pirate in all of the 7 seas, THAT flag. “Run!” Simon boomed, willing his stupid ship to somehow move any faster in the unforgiving waters. A loud horn thundered through the air, they’re doomed. Men in dark clothes swarmed them, he was easily over taken and slammed to the ground before being tied up. Simon was dragged onto the humongous ship, forced to watch as his own was smothered in smoldering flames. “No!” Simon screamed, watching everything he loved go up in flames. He felt tears well up in his eyes before he was forced to face the captain. “You bastard!” Simon snapped, fighting against the ropes and men holding him but they weren’t budging.
