Jason blinked in surprise at the scene, and he decided right then and there that he wasn't dealing with any of this! Jason floated off the ship with Valeria, and he spoke calmly to the kneeling pirates.
"If you want to serve me, then stop your pirate life and start living normally or something. I'll keep an eye on you."
Jason didn't really care what Ronna wanted to do with her life, but if Jason could get one less person to stop being a pirate, then that would be alright. And besides, Ronna had helped Jason get to the Kraken, and Jason wasn't the sort of person to accept favours without giving anything in return. So Jason decided to leave a few Bishop Rank subordinates in the shadow as protection for the pirate crew. If Ronna and the others actually lived well, then the subordinates would help them when they need it. But if not, then they would be abandoned.
