i've already said why i did that in the op.. from now on I'll answer questions from admins / moderators if required.. I've provided screenshots and videos where it is clear from my point of view they were working together.. more than once they've been sailing together, even after the battle.. and at the end of the battle shown in the screenshots they stood side by side with no hostility.. what's the point of doing something like this if you are fighting each other.. oh, right.. since I shot him once with 2 stern chasers they've decided to team up against the common threat? Hard to believe that.
