Pirates. Out of all the things to come back from the Doors of Death, it just had to be pirates.
During their journey to Athens to stop the Doors of Death from stopping the regeneration of monsters, it also meant the door was wide open to the undead coming back. And that involved pirates from Ancient Greece. Those that had been believed to be only myths had come back to life.

Promised riches from deep below the earth and to be alive once more, how could these pirates not take that bait? If it were even bait when there was a treasure right before them.
They've managed to destroy any ships that came through their waters, taking any valuable goods from tourist boats or killing the supposed sea monsters that came by. And with Argo II sailing in the water, they also attacked Piper and her friends as well.
"Oh, pirates! Can't you loosen the grip on the ropes please?" Piper asked so sweetly, lacing her Charmspeak into her words. She was tied against one of the two wooden masts, with her arms pulled back and the rope tied around her wrists and wrapped around the pillar.
