One of Batroc's men on the Lemurian Star reported:
"Batroc, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s radio isn't responding."
By now, Steve Rogers had just found the location of the leader, Batroc. After observing the situation, he had everyone report in.
"Target confirmed!"
"Assault Team in position!"
Hearing responses come in promptly from both sides, Steve asked:
"Natasha, what's your status?"

"Ahh—"
Seizing the chance, she hit the last pirate with a Thomas spin throw.

By then, two of the pirates were already dead, but the one whose wrist had been broken was still clutching it in agony.
Seeing this, Natasha pulled a steel pipe from a nearby storage rack and slammed it into his head.

The pirate dropped to the floor, and Natasha casually tossed the steel pipe aside.
"Engine Room secured."
In the kitchen, Sitwell saw the fleeting figure of a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent through the window and thought to himself, The rescue team's here.

"Time's up. Who wants to die first?"
He pointed at another accomplice. "You. Grab that woman."

As soon as "one" ended, the Assault Team and Rumlow launched their attack.
Several pirates in the kitchen were shot dead on the spot at the first moment. Only the leader was left untouched.
But the instant deaths of his accomplices threw him into total panic. Holding his gun, he aimed all around him, searching for enemies who
