First off, Kudos on writing a book.
It really depends on what is you audience, are you targeting a more mature audience or a PG audience (no pun intended)? Once you answer this you can proceed your path. If its a more serious and somber adventure with pirates then I would go with A. However if you want a lighter POTC style then definitely B.
Granted, all 3 POTC have their dark moments they are lighter in the way they were made.
If you go with A, then you can't really have any fantastic moments. It has to be based in pirate history and facts, which include weapons, ships, and all of the things they used.
If you go with B, then you have more freedom to make stuff up. It has to be slightly based on history and facts.
You need a good mix of both, look up legends of pirates and the seven seas, then explore your options. Use reality to explore the fantastic. Black Pearl. Rather than using fantasy to explore reality. The other 2.
It also comes with a matter of taste. Some like Dracula others like Twilight. If that makes sense.
I hope that helped. If you need a critique let me know.
