As the rum cooled and the sea grew restless, the brave sailors of HEART and AHOY—resupplied generously by IMPRI’s own Eric “Powder Monkey” Bloodhair—rose to meet a most inconvenient British invasion. Clan LDDL had decided that Bimini looked far too peaceful.

What followed was a proper naval clash: sails torn, broadsides booming, and courage tested on all sides.

The battle opened with a decisive strike—[HEART] Hartje landed the first kill by ambushing a stray British ship that had wandered too far from its fleet, likely in search of biscuits.

[AHOY] Meatball Ron held his patch of sea with such ferocity, not even a jellyfish dared pass through. He guarded it like a terrier and thrashed anyone foolish enough to try.

Elsewhere, [AHOY] Capn Rocko soloed a Niagara-class ship, armed with grit, gunpowder, and what we can only assume was an unsettling grin throughout.

New blood made their mark too—[HEART] Mencio notched his first PVP kill, a moment that won’t soon be forgotten.

[HEART] Minori van Eiksteen tallied three kills with the calm efficiency of someone cleaning up after a tavern brawl—swift, thorough, and nothing left afloat.

Though [AHOY] Hussar’s sails were reduced to pirate laundry by the end, he still sank two ships. Turns out, you don’t need speed when your aim’s that deadly.

And then there was [HEART] Sallee Rover, whose ship sank somewhere between a stiff breeze and a bad mood. Unfazed, he clambered aboard a nearby ally’s vessel like it was all part of the plan and carried on without missing a beat.

When the waves settled, 11 British ships had been sunk at the cost of just three of ours. The sea itself seemed saltier afterward—perhaps from British tears.

Clan HEART had secretly moved the plunder seized from Dutch ships near Fort Oranje out of the city. With the French Alliance tightening its grip on the harbor, there was no time to waste — the riches had to vanish before the cannons roared.

Strangely enough, they were escorted by a Dutch Lynx warship, its colors fluttering proudly. At its helm stood Captain (NLwolf)_, known across the coast as the Kind Captain — a man too honorable for the world he sailed. He saluted the pirates with a steady hand and a trusting heart, wishing them a safe journey. Little did he realize that beneath their decks, tucked among barrels and crates, lay the stolen silverware of his own bloodline — heirlooms destined never to return.
