My pirate flag has a two torches and a skull and crossbones. It also has a Black Spot. This is why I chose those symbols. A Black Spot means, if you try to take over our ship, your head will be on the captain’s desk. The skull means that is what we’re known for. The skull and crossbones has mangled teeth and an eye patch over it so it looks creepy. And that’s all you need to know about my pirate flag.
