Writer's Block: Pirates vs Ninjas
Ninjas. Pirates don't do much on land other than drink and go whoremongering. A ninja uses all of his senses, whereas a pirate is often missing a hand, an eye, and a leg. Pirates are also quite noisy. Of course, this is all assuming that we mean pirates a la 'Pirates of the Caribbean' and not actual modern sea pirates that attack ships and yachts in the Phillipines and Indonesia. Those guys have kalashnikov rifles - I really wouldn't want to mess with them, even if I was a ninja.
