If you robbed the enemy, the crown called it patriotism and took a cut.

Evidently, he was wearing clothes.

It does, because then he changed into the clothes of one of the Spanish sailors.

He was trying to- He ripped his clothes off while he was being-

chased by pirates no before they boarded uh he ran he scrambled below deck he's like his first thought is you imagine working on that ship and not respecting your leader's choices and you're like we're back on the water the boat's not ready and then you go you go guys these are government sanctioned pirates and your captain goes everybody take off your clothes what

God, I wish you were on this boat.
