A pirate armed with a flintlock musket returned fire, scoring a fatal hit on the samurai wielding the Tanegashima. The rest of the samurai charged out of the forest weapons at the ready. A samurai armed with a yari charged at a pirate armed with a boarding pike, only for the pirate to drop the pike and raise his blunderbuss, firing a blast of shot through the samurai's armor, into his chest. .

The pirate with the blunderbuss was hit in the chest and head by a blast from a samurai's Osutzu, killing him. A second pirate fired a shot from his flintlock pistol, but the round simply dented the samurai's breastplate. The samurai charge at the pirate with is katana as the pirate drew his cutlass. The two blades clashed for a few seconds, until the samurai managed to get a thrust into the pirate's chest, impaling him on the katana.

The pirate with the musket, however, had by this time, reloaded, and shot the samurai that had killed his fellow in the head. The musket pirate, however, was struck down by an arrow through the head by a samurai's yumi.
