1) Pirates usually DON'T know how to swim. It's amazing how many sailors didn't know how to swim back then.
2) Ninjas use a greater variety of weapons than pirates. Fact. Kunai, string, short staffs, longstaffs, yawara, tonfa, nunchaku, three-part staff (a nunchaku with three sticks instead of two), flails, whips/chains/chainwhips, chain-knives, rope-darts, kama, long pieces of cloth, animals, sai, jitte, shuriken, darts, blowdarts, throwdarts, poison balls, smoke balls, and all kinds of throwing objects. This is EXCLUDING "jutsu", which is only in stories.
