Melee: Pirate: The Cutlass is better for close up combat and for stabbing. It's designed to fight on naval crafts where there is little room to fight. The Katana was designed for Bushido, which is close up, but you need room to take slashes with it.

EDGE: Pirate

Shawty guns: Even: Can't say I really know enough about either gun, so I'm calling em even for now.

EDGE: Even

Long range: Pirate: I'm really confused about this, you're giving them JUST the flaming arrow with nothing to shoot it but the shotgun? That doesn't really make sense to me. If anything, the flaming arrow should be their special weapon, not long ranged. But because they don't have any means of firing it except the  short ranged Osutsu gives the Pirate an easy edge.

EDGE: Pirate

Special: Kaizoku: The Yari has speed and range, that's the pure fact of the matter.

EDGE: Kaizoku

Overall, I'm giving this one to the Pirate, they just have the better weapons all around, and when the  Kaizoku DO take the edge in special, I don't see those weapons playing a huge role in the fight anyways.
