SEAS OF THE CARIBBEAN - The centuries old conflict between Ninjas and Pirates ended yesterday, as Ninjas were declared victorious.

Ninja forces are reported to have appeared "out of nowhere" on the Pirates' boat. They slaughtered the entire crew quickly and efficiently.

A local Pirate issued the following statement at a televised press conference: "Yar, 'tis total bullshit. They be ghosts appearin' outta nowheres. Devil's magic them Ninjas use, I tell ye."

Ninjas, as is their way, had no comment.
