The pirate “captain” doing the negotiating was the YOUNGEST of the batch, at 16 years old...IOW the most expendable of the batch.
Ironically, he’s the only unexpended one of the batch.
The story changes fast; now they are saying that the 16 year old had surrendered and was trying to get the other three to give it up. That would make the situation more dangerous.
