When the pirates give you an opportunity to disembark and head for shore, you do it.

Maybe... but don't they also advise crime victims to do anything possible to avoid being taken to a secondary scene?

Time to drop B-52 loads of clusted bomb on every port city in that region.
Kill them all let, God sort them out.

Well, that's true. This is sort of an ambiguous case.

I definitely agree that if someone points a gun at you and demands anything you own, you hand it to them, but if they point a gun at you and tell you to get into a car or otherwise go elsewhere, you resist to the death. I had figured this was the former case, but you're right, it could possibly have been a setup for a slightly lower-profile murder ashore somewhere. Seems less likely, though.
