Pirate Attack

Pirates, bandits, hurricanes, iceberg, shipwreck, and all sad stories are all we here about ships that sail across oceans or seas. In this case, we're dealing with pirates and this is my first pirate attack since my history of traveling. Honestly I never sailed a quite large sea or ocean as to meet pirates but seriously what do these pirates want in this part of the world? I know this old sailor has waited for them for years but they never showed up so why did they have to show up now that he's finally adding a true meaning to his existence. 

Mal grabbed the bag and pulled out the telescope then started to view with it and he saw something. "I see a ship but it looks quite different from the regular kind of ship I come across often." He said. "What kind of ship do you see?" The old man asked.

"A large wooden sailing ship armed with cannon." He explained and the old man's countenance immediately changed.
