Every few hours, an area within the Britania sea will become a "Danger Zone". If you roam this area, you will be able to perceive new features. To view danger zones, simply say [bilgewater

PIRATES! will be roaming the danger zones, be careful. They will hunt you and they can be very dangerous. Pirates will drop a cargo crate on the person who dealt the most damage. They will also reward damagers with Achievement points & Monthly challenge points. There is many types of pirate ships so do not be surprised to see a pirate boat full of liches.. or be!
TIDAL TUMULTS fishing by a tidal tumult is a good idea in order to gain Bilgewater points, fish special seas or spawn dangerous sea creatures.
WATERSTAINED CHESTS can also be found in the danger zones, anyone will be able to unlock them but the loot within the chest will depend on your Lockpicking skill/Luck(AOS).
SPECIAL FISHES can be fished within the danger zones. If you catch one, make sure to register it by handing it to Luffy, who can be found at Britain/Luna bank. Handing out a special fish will grant you monthly/bilgewater points and it will be added to the leaderboard!

How can I fight pirates?

Pirate crews are fierce and should not be taken lightly. You should try to avoid luring more than a ship at a time.

be Using spells, archery, fields, explosion potions or creatures may be your best bet but warriors may also be useful as on a boat, 2 handed weapons range is increased to 3 tiles, which will allow you to hit pirates from your boat.

Cannons can also be very useful against pirates and other sea creatures.
