Why is is it when you finish something people say you "killed it " and if you killed it people look at you strange, and if you kill, people don't like you at all. As a pirate sometimes you have to kill and to tell the truth you really never talk about it. You sit at the inn talking to a nice wench and whisper " hey I just slit some poor guys guts open today before I took over his ship" , or " I had to hack a British sailor to bits before he tried to kill me, it was a mess it took hours to get all the blood off me" One does not talk about killing. On the other hand if you give me trouble I will kill you.
