Is it right? or wrong?
Is the way pirates kill each other the right or wrong way? Well in my own perspective I can say that the way pirates give punishment or torture is completely inhumane. Pirates found their type of punishment very entertaining, they tended to play games around their own crew mates or someone who was help hostage by them. One form of punishment or torture was tying to the mast where they would be tied to the mast for nine days and nights while being whipped constantly, as you can see this form of punishment or torture was common throughout many eras not just the age of piracy. Considering this, tying to the mast was one of the lesser forms of punishment that pirates had in mind. Other times pirates would just sell their own cremates or actually make them walk the plank, it was meant to be a myth of sorts but in this case some pirates actually did make their own cremates or any held hostages walk the plank. These forms of punishment were rare and hardly ever used though.
With that we have the most cruel and most slow painful death that were given to pirates. It's name is the keelhauling where a rope was pass under the ship from side to side while the offender was tied onto it. They would swing back in fourth under the water where barnacles would slowly cut them apart. In no way is this considered the right kind of punishment or torture.
