team marvel Pirate Latitudes / star Lord / elemental guns / 1 of 3well, there were guns and cannons. I started reading this to meet 'read a book in which a character has a tattoo' ... no mention of even one tattoo in this pirate book... which, I do not recommend btw. :)

Cornish. Lots of tatoos in that trilogy ... and some fantastic world building!
