With 6 HP, no Defense, and only 12 Evasion, you can expect that any attack made against a Pirate will likely kill it. Because you fight 9 of them at once, make sure you spread out your attacks. Sleep1 and Fog can both make this fight a bit easier, but it's not actually difficult to begin with. The best part about fighting the Pirates (aside from getting a ship) is that they drop a good chunk of gil! If only these were random enemies.

Buccaneers aren't as pathetic as the Pirates you fought earlier, but they're not all that far off. They have a lot more defense, but few enough HP that they are not a problem to take down. Their attacks are fairly powerful, but no big deal. Their most notable trait is that they drop a lot of money.
