yeah i know
but if they panicked purely because they werent capable of taking out the pirates
they had a first hand account of suddenly becoming capable of it, just ask Ledo to fly out and sink the entire fleet
its more like they didnt want to get aggressive, because that meant the pirates were mostly chill and just gibs me dat from time to time
they didnt fight back not because they were scared of losing, since lets be honest, they could probably take on the pirates, they knew Gargantia is a big ass orbital cannon
they just didnt want to fight back and make the pirates who lost face go all out
