He has a point. The ninja has the stratagy to poison food and booze to turn a pirate ship into a ghost ship. Nice point man.
Ninjas wouldn't be able to get near the rum. Ninjas would have less than a chance of a snowball in the deepest depths of hell. Thats all that matters.
At least the rum won't be gone.

You guys gotta be kidding me . Jackie Chan ALONE could take out an entire shipload of pirates (he does his own stunts!). Ninjas would kill all the pirates before they could say "Ninja, Ho!". Nuff said.
It would be a long battle, but the Pirates would win. Look, I know everyone thinks Ninjas are awesome, but the fact remains, they weren't trained for war. They weren't even trained for full-on battles. They were assassins. Sure, they were rough, undisciplined, and, well, rather savage, but they knew how to win battles. Ninjas win fights, Pirates win battles. It's true, a Ninja could kick a Pirate's ass, but battles aren't the same. Even if they couldn't out-fight the Ninjas, they would win because of the tech they used, at the very least. Even if the Ninjas could hold them off, they still wouldn't "win". They could not destroy the Pirate forces, because the Pirates had the best boats of their time. They added sails and cannons, and got rid of all unnecessary weight. They were a good deal faster than anything the Ninjas had at their disposal, and this would allow the Pirates to regroup. The battle would be fought on them Pirates' terms, and the Ninjas would be on the defensive, and, quite frankly, cannons hurt.
Originally posted by Rikimaru_X Ninjas are CO-OPS of japan, the war would have been already delt with before it happend. Kinda like Ghost Recon: Advanced Wars.
This has been said many times... Personally, I don't believe it. There has to be a reason for the war to start, and I'm guessing the pirates would start it with a sneak attack in an attempted raid. (Sure, it's not their specialty, but they've done it before.) To the best of my knowledge, Japan's ports weren't particularly well defended. I know Japan had some skirmishes with China, but I doubt their ships could take fully equipt Pirate ships. And besides, we're talking Pirates vs. Ninjas, not Pirates vs. Japan. Now, I don't think Japan would've known about the attack prior to it's culmination, because they likely wouldn't have reason to suspect it. Especially if the Pirates weren't based locally.
A raid on Japan? Not only that would deal with ninjas, but that would deal with the people of Japan, samurais, Japanese government, Japanese naval. A pirate wouldn't be able to handel that. Even if they did escape, a ninja has ways to send a becon to their location.

Yeah, well, I was just speculating on how the war would start. Besides, Ninjas are all secret. How would a war with them start? It's not like the Pirates could just, like, raid their HQ, ya know? I guess the Pirates could destroy the fleet of a wealthy landowner, who would then get the Ninjas to kill the Pirates in their sleep, but that wouldn't be a war, that'd be a massacre, and that's not what the topic was about.
Well if a pirate ship landed on a a Japanese island while a group of Ninja's were training and the 2 groups met on an open field and bolth seem each other and were able to get battle ready the Ninja's would own the pirates. Pirates have guns,cannons and crazy drunk soldiers but Ninja's have guille, superior fighting skills, ninja stars, weopons I havnt even seen lol and they improvise for any enemy they have faced . If the Ninja's fought by boarding the pirate ship then that would also be a massacre so all around looks like doom for the pirates.
Yeah, Ninjas would own in a close quarters fight. It all depends on who's strengths the battlefield played to. I still say the Pirates could blow the hell out of the Ninjas, then go mop up the rest. If they met on land, the Ninjas would definately win, but if it was taken to the seas, the Pirates would destroy them. In any case, I believe it would be a closer battle than most seem to think.
Besides, the original question asked "Who do you side with?" I'd side with the pirates. At the very least, I could escape on the ship. What can I say, I like boats. I could be the cook! Not that I have any culinary skills, persay, but, then again, I doubt anyone else on a Pirate ship has any either.
ninjas have chakra and cna mke clones of them selves and make fireballs and lots of stuff pirates cant do so the ninjas would demolish the pirates no prob
Situation would definetly dictate. Pirates fought with muskeets, swords and axes in confined spaces aboard ships and on land in open fights. Pirates used a code of honor, and would rather take prisoners than kill everyone. Now ninjas on the other hand, they are trained assassines, brutal, violent, hated by society. They were seen as demons. They fought from the shadows making fast lethal blows leaving no one, not even babies left to live.
They both have advantages, but like I said situation would dictate. Had the pirates been on one of thier drunken benges at some tavern the ninjas would obviously dice them to bits no trouble. A face to face battle would be totally different. Pirates being dependant on the use of muskeets would probably take a large number out having reducing the amount of actual melee fighting.
If you put 10 ninjas and 10 pirates in an arena stripped down to just swords and told them to go at it. I'm pretty sure a ninja would jack up a pirate, being that they are smaller, faster and more agile.

Pirates were psychotic plunderers, pillagers, and criminals. They live in constant fear of one another, and have more dirty tricks than you can shake a stick at.
Ninjas may be trained in the art of stealth, and killing, but I'm going to have to go with pirates. They're out of their minds, fight without honor, and most of all guns > swords.
