As water rushed into the ship, various items not grabbed by the pirates began to flow out. Some sank to the depths or Kaiden to retrieve later as they wished, including a trunk that would later be opened to reveal gems, a box of jewelry, and a case of weapons. The mer would retrieve from of the choice shiny items and leave the rest. Material goods were really their interest.
What did catch their eye was the tasty-smelling crates that floated to the surface. One in particular was enticing and the mershark shifted back to investigate. Pulling out a knife, the pirates would see an arm snake out of the water and begin prying open the crate. Upon realizing that it would take more effort, Kaiden held on with their other hand and heaved themselves up so that the water line was at their shoulders. With a grit of their teeth, the mer managed to open the crate, revealing various dried meats. Perfection.
Grabbing a strip of jerky with their teeth, they looked up with wide eyes as they registered the pirates watching them.
