A Pirate eating spaghetti-and-meatballs off a decorative plate with a fork???
The Classical Era of Piracy in the Caribbean was circa 1500 to 1830s.
The National Macaroni Manufacturers Association is credited/blamed for publishing the first spaghetti-and-meatballs recipe in the 1920s. Italian chefs and foodie writers sneer at S&M as an Americanized fake-Italian abomination. Italian food purists loath Hector Boiardi “Chef Boyardee” in particular for introducing canned S&M in 1938.
So the kraken, recognizing that spaghetti-and-meatballs is an anachronistic dish, figures out that that can’t possibly be what the pirate is eating. And given that, he imagines other possibilities for round things surrounded by long, noodle-like tentacles, and leaps to the rescue to keep the pirate from eating his cousins. The kraken is the real hero of this tale.
(And as a side note, the foodie writers can shove it. Spaghetti and meatballs is a delicious meal, especially Mr. Boiardi’s variation on it.)
“Oh, Mamma mia, calimari with-a my meat-a-balls!”

So much wrong with this image.
Maybe the guy’s an actor in a pirate movie, having a chump during a break in filming.
