I found this on the internet. Fuck pirates.

One shot, one kill.

I'd say Blackbeard is good for 6 to 8 ninjas.
Exactly.

Ninjas have swords and daggers. Pirates have swords, daggers, and guns.

Ninjas walk on water. Pirates have ships filled with cannons and gun/sword/dagger wielding pirates.

Ninjas wear jumpsuits. Pirates wear cool costumes or just whatever the hell they want.

Ninjas have no pets. Pirates have parrots, monkeys, etc.

Ninjas are a racial prejudice against Asian cultures. Every culture has pirates, thus they are fair and equally represent the different people of the world. :D
I wanted to mention that you forgot that pirates have cannons among their weaponry, but you covered it nicely.

Seriously, fuck a shuriken. Gimme a cannon any day!

In the middle of the open sea, you can see the ninja. Then - shoot canon! Dead ninja.

Cannons are very inefficient at hitting small targets, though. Assuming a ninja can run on water, because a ninja is considerably smaller than a pirate ship, cannon fire from long range would have a significant chance of missing if the ninja is running on the water. At close range, yeah, dead ninja. However, if a ninja is able to avoid the long range fire of a cannon long enough to get to the pirate ship, good chance of a dead pirate. :P

Musket fire and pistols on the ninja when it gets to close. It can't outrun a ship, the pirates can just chase 'em down and gun 'em down.

Not really being up on ninjas, what is this run-on-water B.S.??

Broadsides of grapeshot aren't necessarily accurate, but one can't argue with their effectiveness. Avoiding grapeshot is very, very difficult. Even for a ninja.

KV: Fair point. I was thinking of a normal cannonball as opposed to grapeshot.

NH: You mentioned shooting at a ninja on open sea. I assumed that was what you were referring to, otherwise how would you shoot a ninja on open seas unless he was on a ship?
