Pirates vs. Ninjas

So, I've been having this debate with my sister's husband regarding who would win the fight between a pirate and a ninja. Personally, I don't think it's much of a contest. The ninja would win hands down, but some people see things otherwise. I'm not saying pirates aren't tough, Captain Morgan has kicked my ass a couple of times... It's just that I don't see a one-eyed amputee with bad hygiene and a vitamin deficiency standing up to a stealthy, disciplined assassin in a black jumpsuit... parrot or no. In fact, I'd wager that the reason pirates are missing legs, hands, and eyes is because they got on the bad side of a ninja.
Still, I invite you all to tell me whom you think would win. Extra, bonus, cool-kid points if you give a reason why you feel the way you do.
