To kill them. They were so far from shore, the people who walked the plank would either drown or become shark food.

Actually, walking the plank is fake. Pirates never did that, it was made up. -RPC

It's very rare for pirates to make people walk the plank. Usually they hack their victums to death and throw them overboard. Walking the plank comes from stories such as Peter Panand Treasure Planet.

The pirates on a pirate ship make their own rules and inflict their own punishments as they see fit. If someone was thought to have in some way betrayed his fellow pirates, it would be likely that he would be required to walk the plank, and drown.
