    Remember, pirates did fly red flags as well as black ones. The red ones meant you were extra fucked.

      I think black was like, “We just want your shit and we’ll let you live if you surrender” while red was like, “We’re gonna kill and then take your shit or take your shit and then kill you, either way you will not survive,” kinda thing.
