In this scene, Ayesha's sister was just caught up in a net by a pirate ship. Ayesha cut her free and then, being incredibly pissed off, grabs onto the net and lets them pull her up. This is her staring down the pirates incredibly mad. Mind you, just moments before this Ayesha got in a fight with her mother about how instead of fearing the landfolk they should try to communicate and make peace with them. So obviously when they try to catch her sister (because her voice was heard and they think that's dangerous and should be silenced) she decided "fuck it, if no one is willing to make peace, I WILL make the peace".

Pulling up a gigantic pissed of merfolk is enough to make any pirate question their actions and how much it's worth it, so they try to drop her. She grabs onto the ship and climbs her way back up. And that's how she meets Miyo! It uh. It definitely wasn't love at first sight or anything lmao
