roughly translated Departed Deckhand1U Creature — Spirit Pirate (Uncommon)
When Departed Deckhand becomes the target of a spell, sacrifice it.
Departed Deckhand can only be blocked by Spirits. 3U: Choose another target creature you control. This turn it cannot be blocked except by Spirits.
2/2
There´s only one spirit in the set so far, and it´s rare, so for limited it might as well read unblockable. When they make a cheap and efficient unblockable creature, I´m glad they at least make it unable to wear auras.

When I hit my 3000 post mark, I'm gone for good.
Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.
I think the third ability reads “choose target creature you control. This turn it cannot be blocked except by spirits.”
Comparing it to Predator's Rapport (and other cards with "choose target creature you control") there's a slight difference starting with the 12th symbol. What could this mean?

I do not think so. The clothing is similar, but different, the lady on Mutiny has a sword, this is more of a rapier or a weird cutlass.
Same clothes, same hair, same lantern behind, same ropes and pulley, very similar face. She's allowed to own more than one weapon.
Clothes are different, though. The woman in Mutiny had a shoulder pad and sash that are absent. The over-the-shoulder strap is going the opposite direction, and the ghost appears to be wearing a dress, whereas the mutiny woman definitely wore pants. Facial features look different, though the size and differing expression make being decisive a crapshoot. The same goes for skin tone due to the deckhand's ghostly complexion, but that characteristic alone has tricked more than a few forum-goes that one brown-skinned woman is the same as a different character with a similar skin tone.
The ship is also not identical at all. The lantern design is quite different (I expect all of Ixalan's pirate ships to have ropes, pulleys, and lanterns in the first place, by necessity.) because the lantern on Mutiny is made from solid, clear panes of glass and has a pointed top. In contrast, the lantern here has a rounded top and cross-hatching around the light rather than glass panes. The pulley also has a different design if you look at the knotting and the way that the rope is affixed to the wooden piece.
Much like the imagined comparisons between Saheeli and Scrapper Champion and between Huatli and Shalai, vague similarities are labeled as being exactly identical, and obvious differences are willfully omitted. The evidence indicates this to be a totally different pirate woman.

I don't expect the artist to make a point-by-point identical image. Nothing indicates she died right during the mutiny. You choose to believe it's a different woman, that the art is not a direct reference. It just happens that it's a blue-dressed woman with dark hair, on a similar ship, with the same piece of clothing over the shoulder, red piece of cloth, etc. It's not a named character in either case. I and other believe it's a direct reference.

Maybe it's a spirate ?
The spirit says "other creature you control".
