As the sun rose over the ocean's surface, a dozen small boats were speeding toward the cruise ship.
Those with keen eyes could see that each of these boats flew a high pirate flag adorned with a skull, and each boat had seven or eight pirates either sitting or standing, armed with a variety of weapons, some of which were heavy assault weapons powerful enough to pose a significant threat to the cruise ship.
The small boats were very fast and soon approached the cruise ship, then dispersed to both sides, encircling the ship. One man on a boat raised a megaphone and began to shout at the cruise ship in English, while occasionally pirates fired their guns into the air as a warning.
Seeing that real pirates were attacking, the passengers on the cruise ship instantly fell into chaos, with some screaming and others crying.
