(Cutlasses were literally developed because their compact size made them ideal for the cramped space of a ship. I'll invite you to look at the very image you shared again; you can barely stand upright inside a ship. As such, larger, bulkier weapons are highly impractical to wield - something the actual, real life people in the Age of Sail realised. That (along with their ease of use) is why pirates used cutlasses so often, why the Royal Navy and other navies used sabres and backswords, and why regular contemporary swords like the rapier as well as axes and maxes were practically never seen on board of ships.)

The Argonians grinned, taking a second to look at the carnage they had caused. Then, on the command of one of them - a black-skinned one with his jaw horns painted red - they scurried, crawling out through the gun ports as well as the massive gaping hole in the hull and jumping into the sea.
