Captain Morgan roared his orders at the second officer and the first officer, both of whom dared not express any dissatisfaction and quickly set out to do as commanded.

Weapons were handed out to each sailor, and ordinary passengers were not overlooked. However, the sailors received sailor's knives and hand crossbows, and the ordinary passengers got small knives and harpoons. The ordinary passengers had no complaints, fully aware of their limits, knowing they wouldn't be assigned to the frontline. Thus, the better equipped the sailors were, the more advantageous it was for them.
