You talkin' about Cervantes from Soul Calibur, Sain? If so, that's like 40% awesome bonus to pirate's side to begin with.
Add Seth Balmore and Sed from Lost Odyssey as well as the Corsairs of Umbar, Lord of the Rings' only pirates, and we're seeing true power.
While I'm at it, REAVER from Fable 2!!! And to put the icing on the metaphorical cake, my favorite pirate of all time, ~main character name here~ from Sid Meier's Pirates!
As it stands, I couldn't care less about ninjas. >=3
