Tell the Portuguese sailors to get as much of the galleon's cargo onto your ship as possible and sign them on as new crew members

From Create Your Own Story

"Load up this ship with your cargo!" you yell to the Portuguese sailors. "Any of you who don't want to sink with your ship can come on board and work for me. You will not be harmed."

First a couple, then a few, then most of the sailors do as you request. As they get the cargo across, your crew hauls it aboard the Midnight and stows it in the holds. In just a few minutes, the galleon is empty of valuables.

Some of the sailors come across, but others seem reluctant. You smile and gesture for them to board.

"Hurry and get on board!" Raquel yells to the galleon's remaining crew. All but the captain scramble onto the Midnight.

Some of your men are examining the loot. It appears to be a rich haul -- rum, Maya plunder of incalculable value, and a well-dressed young lady who appears to be about 18 years old named Maria who says she's the daughter of a rich merchant and her father will pay handsomely for her safe return. Your men are quite happy with the results of the raid.

YOU GAIN 2 AUTHORITY POINTS!

The galleon's captain still stands on his sinking ship.

"Come aboard, now!" you say to him.

"No!" he replies. "I'll go down with my ship!"

Go ahead and sail away, leaving the captain to the piranhas
