What does it take to raze a village?

Question
Hillary Clinton wrote a book some years back called "It Takes a Village" or some such nonsense. The premise was that it takes a village to raise a child. By the Pirate Parenting code, would it be "It takes a child to raze a village"?

Answer
Ahoy, Jib Master!

Excellent question! To raze a village, it takes one of the following:

* 100 pirate children with daggers
* 50 pirate children with daggers and pistols
* 1 pirate child with a REALLY, REALLY big cannon.

The important thing isn't the number of kids but rather the value of the village's plunder.

P.S. It takes only five pirate children asking "Are we there yet?" to "Craze a village."

P.P.S. If you fill your cannons with corn, you can "maize a village."
