Use chain-shot, aim for the rigging

From Create Your Own Story

The salvo of chain-shot utterly ruins the Portuguese galleon's rigging, leaving only broken masts and shredded sails. Unable to complete her maneuver to shoot you, your target is now at your mercy. Time to finish this...

You command your men to prepare to board the other ship. But the Portuguese sailors, too, are getting ready for battle. What now?

Shout to the sailors : "Last chance to surrender!"

Shout to your men : "Take no prisoners!"
