The pirates are ready to attack the ship, but the governor says that they are too high-spirited to do anything about it. He orders a ship to be sent to rescue the merchant and his crew. The pirates, however, are not ready to board the ship just yet. The governor tells the pirates that they have a chance to earn their respect in the city by saving the merchant's life. They must see what is happening here, he says, or else they will kill the merchant. The captain tells the captain that he has a woman on board who is waiting to be rescued. He says that the fishermen in the area have hardened up since their last visit, and that the pirates are coming up alongside another pirate ship. He asks the captain if there is anything he can do for the merchant, and the captain says that he can speak 20 different languages and that he is too hot in the heat of the Mediterranean for any armor. He also says that there has been talk of a war between the Pars and the pirates, but that they do not need a royal seal to do their business. They do not have any obligation to welcome the prince, and they have made their decision.
