OOC According to China: "it matters not what piece of paper you carry, when you attack a merchant vessel with the purpose to seize it and/or its goods you are a pirate and thus subject to punishment." hence the Spanish warship was a pirate as there was no conflict between both nations and it had no reason to stop a Swiss Merchant so far away from Spanish waters.

The rustbucket only fired after it was fired upon and changed colors when it was in dire straits.
