Asirpa is in the cabin while Sugimoto and Shiraishi are topwise, making Sugimoto nervous.
However, once Pirate recognizes his old bud Shiraishi, hes friendly towards him.
He wants to be a hero, so he starts shooting his post office-issued pistol at the pirates.

When Pirate loses three of his citizens, he counters bythrowing the anchor of the ship into the cabin.
He intends to start his own island country with his share.
Then he asks Sugimoto about his family, and learns he lost them all to Tuberculosis.

The last thing his father tells him is to get away and make a life for himself.
Not to build and rule his owncountry, mind you: just a life.
