Thats true.
But I meant that the others were acting odd in comparison to their normal behaviors in my presence.

If he was worried, he wouldn't raid your ships.

In reality, ninjas would win.
They are trained TO kill.
Pirates are just pirates. They pillage, plunder, and rape.
Of course a few shinobi will fall to a musket, but bolts and stars will fall more.

Ninja Myths. Cute Des. cute.
Ninja were not warriors.
They were spies and scouts.
They usually had little reason to kill, as a dead body gives you away.
While they could fight, it wasnt their forte.
Now, imagine trying to kill someone who's too liquored up to feel pain, howling and shouting his lungs out as he swings a curved sword or axe or loaded pistol at you with wild abandon, someone who does this sort of thing on a regular basis.
Add this to the fact that Pirates operated primarily at sea and only attacked shoreline villages when they were desprate.
A pirate would be used to the close in fighting and the uneven balance of the shifting sea. The Ninja would be out of his element.
With that factored in, the battle is far more balanced in the Pirate's favor, as it would only be at Sea that a Ninja and a Pirate would ever cross paths.
Pirate wins.

Extremely efficient ones as well. In a group or squad, they were devastatingly lethal. Pirates weren't warriors either buddy. And they did not do that sort of thing often. They used scare tactics most of the time and they worked. Most of a pirates life is duty on a ship, not fighting. And wrong. All sailors must put into port at one point. So theres equal ground.

You misunderstand, pal.
The only way a Pirate and a Ninja would ever cross paths would be if a Ninja happen to be going overseas during the 1500's and get attacked somewhere in the Atlantic by a bunch of French or English Buccaneers.
Not a single decent freebooter would trek all the way to Japan when Spanish gold was that much closer.
Unless you mean Japanese Pirates, who were just as bloody, Deadly, and Violent as Ronin.
Then even on land the Ninja was screwed.
You see Des, Ninjas were a one shot in the history of the world. They existed, had a few bright spots, and then left the world stage leaving nothing but myths, legends, and a bunch of imitators.
Piracy has existed ever since ancient times and still exists today in much the same fasion as it used to be.
Pirates beat ninjas.
