Ransom Maria and force the sailors into service
From Create Your Own Story
You immediately put the Portuguese sailors to work, confident in their ability. Your pirates are happy to have new hands to help them run the ship, and you give them the rest of the day off to get some sleep, gamble and drink the rum they got their hands on. YOU GAIN 1 AUTHORITY POINT. Time now to get rid of your highborn captive and hopefully turn a hefty profit in the process.
"Where does your father live?" you ask Maria.
"Cinzaporto," she answers. "It's a small Portuguese colony on the coast of Brazil."

"But my father is rich!" Maria insists. "He'll make it worth your while."
Put her to work with the others and go sail the high seas
