What was a reasonable reward for capturing a pirate in the 1700s?

If a pirate and a ninja had an offspring what would it be called?
This may depend on whether it's a male pirate and a female ninja, or vice-versa. The question is a difficult one, as pirates and ninja rarely get along. The marriage ceremony alone would be difficult, as the pirate would refuse to wear a tux, and the ninja cannot allow her veil to be lifted. A female pirate would probably plunder the ring from the ring bearer, and drink all the champagne; and a male ninja wouldn't recite vows without sealing them with a blood oath. But science suggests the answer is probably pinja or nirate.

What is good food for a pirate birthday party?
I would cut your sandwiches into shapes of pirate ships and stick mini jolly roger flags in them which you can find on Amazon.
Personally i think instead of an eye patch cake, you could make a parrot cake or a pirate ship cake. I found more pirate party ideas on the 'fun the med party ideas' website.
Of course, a cake in the shape of a 'Dead man's chest' with 'pieces of eight' spilling out of it would be good, too. A skeleton could be stationed behind it on guard duty...
Chicken wings labeled as parrot wings might go over well, too.
Chicken nuggets labeled as anything, because, well, that's what they ARE.
There are plastic toothpicks in the shape of swords (cutlasses) that could be used for a lot of snacks.
The dip for the nuggets could labeled piratically: Barbecue sauce as blood, for example.
Corn on the cob, cut into thirds or quarters could be labeled "a buck an ear".
A tossed salad could be labeled as 'mermaid's hair'.
