Black ship

From Puzzle Pirates

  El Pollo Diablo, or the black ship, shows up to punish ships when they attack a vessel with a weaker might rating. It fights in place of the attacked ship, mercilessly pummeling the attackers until their ship is full of damage.

It is piloted by 100 skellies, has unlimited shot range, goes through obstacles, and knows the opponent's every move. It is also immune to cannonballs and grappling. Basically, it is impossible to win against it.

After the black ship wins, it takes everything on the other ship except for 5 units of rum.

[edit] Historical Notes

The black ship didn't always have 100 skellies on it. The Ringers kept changing the amount of skellies aboard the black ship in an attempt to make it truly unbeatable. At one time, there were only eight skellies aboard, due to a booch; it was also vulnerable to cannonfire.

The black ship was first defeated when Barrenmore took a full grand frigate out during the Rudder Revolution's 24 Hour Bash to fight it.^[1]
