Maria wrapped the cloth tight around her chest, the whole time cursing pirates. She could put up a strong fence around her insecurities and fear.. Above the curses Maria could hear her heart beating frantically.
A knock came at the door, and a gruff voice sounded.
"Ay, darlin'? Ye ready yet?"
Maria whimpered and stepped back.
The doorknob turned and the owner of the voice stepped in. Maria narrowed her sky blue eyes at him and her whole body flushed.
"Damn you." She managed to spit out, while trying to cover up.
"Can't be darlin' I'm already a pirate." The man slipped back into his proper, native English for a second before leering at her.Her ran his fingers through his short well groomed beard and winked, as he appreciatively at Maria's milky white skin on her torso. "Besides, ye should be happy its only me. Anyone other 'an me would do more than stare. He let out a gaff as Maria flushed. "Ye'd better get used to it. Yer a pirate now, girly."
Maria grimaced at those word. The captain smiled at her showing his yellowed and missing teeth. She closed her eyes as a wave of nausea at her situation came over her. She took deep breaths as she donned her floaty shirt meant to hide her gender. As the boat lurched to the side, coming closer to the boat they were planning on capturing Maria lost her balance and fell into the strong, dirty arms of the captain. He grinned down at her. "I think ye better stay here fer this raid. 'Till ye get yer sea legs." he placed her not so gently on the bed. "Stay here, don't leave, keep pretendin' yer a man. Under no circumstances will ye try ter escape. I will have yer guard posted out there waitin' ter shove ye back into one of them cells down there if-in ye make trouble. He'll protect ye."
"I'd rather be rescued by the other ship then stay here with your damn pirates!" Maria glowered at the captain
"Well, well. Someone makes a perfect lady doesn't she." The captain smiled again. Then he turned on his heel and walked out. Maria heard the door lock a moment later.
Slightly Later
Maria cowered in the corner. She was breathing quickly as she faced the gray walls of her cabin listening to the clashing of metal right outside her door. She clasped her head as a scream echoed in from the corridor, and curled up her body. She jumped slightly as a body slammed the door open, and walked over to her.
"A scared pirate? Not quite as fearless as you were now, eh?" A man's voice sounded. Maria could hear him walking around her cabin. He was picking things up and placing them down again, obviously looking for something. "Aha!" She heard as it quietly resonated around them cabins. She wondered for a second through her fears of what could be of such worth in this cabin that someone would bother looking for it. Even though she had no doubt that the pirates had lost, after all when they'd attacked the ship she'd been traveling they hadn't seem the most organized bunch. Then without another second to think she heard the words, "ta-ta," and a blunt object hit her squarely on the back of the head.

A Quick Basic Plot:
The people that took Maria are pirate hunters, they knew that the pirates were coming. They disguised their boat as a merchant vessel, then attacked the pirates. They either killed or took the pirates hostage. Obviously your characters will be either pirate hunters or pirates. Maybe one stowaway. The pirate hunters will continue searching for pirates until they head to the capital for the pirates trials. The pirates will be given a trial which they will inevitably lose unless they sign a document promising to help catch more pirates or if they escape. By the way, the pirate hunters won this battle.
Quick Note on Genders:
*It is fine if a few people want to be wives of some of the pirate hunters. Only you will most probably stay out of action. And remember only a few. (Unless by previous agreement you get someone else to play the husband you will play him.)
*The pirate hunters are all men by the way.
*Pirates stay true to history. Mainly men, a few women.
