The battle raged, relentless and punishing. The deck of the Sea Phantom had become a scene of carnage—splintered wood, broken barrels, and fallen bodies. Screams echoed across the ship as the clash of steel against steel grew louder with each passing moment. But despite their bravery, the tide of the battle slowly began to turn in favor of the pirates.
Jason had been holding his own, his golden staff spinning through the air with deadly precision. But eventually, two burly pirates tackled him from behind while a third knocked the staff out of his hand with a club. He struggled, but they beat him to the deck and bound his arms.
