"Shiver me fuckin timbers!!"

Ninjas hands down.

The only thing that could even come close to damaging a Ninja would be a fully equiped Counter-terrorist.

Ninja would still pwn hard.

ninja's..... silent assasins

Thinking about it, if we included space pirates then they might actually come out on top.

well, being a cyberpunk fiend, I'd have to go midway, as we have them ninjas (vat grown, heheh) and pirates (of the vast seas of info, of course...) buuuut... Ninjas. I can't swim, there goes your reason... I am also a bit TOO big to fit into any outfit enabling silent killing, so there... plus, some Ninjas flutter their wings in a very inspiring and friendly way

anyway... all those old game references (and Persuader's avatar - TEH TURRICAN!) made me shed a tear... Shinobi, SF 2... ah, eh...

pfft, pirates of course
Ninjas are too girly, Pirates have scars and peg legs, beat THAT SHIT!!!!
Ninjas? can you see any cool scars on them? NooOOooOO!!!
thats why Pirates RULED the seas and NOT ninjas.
Damn, i thought this forum had more brains

You play as Chris the Ninja Pirate.
Soooo damn addictive.

Ninja Pirate! haha
Or maybe a Nazi Ninja like Kroenen in "HellBoy"? Or Monkey Pirates! Everybody likes monkeys! Or Pie Ninjas! I LOVE pie.

Ninjas...
Samurai swords were the ultimate weapon until the invention of the gun. And how cool are smoke bombs?

Just watch Revenge of the Ninja.
