This makes Quartermaster Zebulon extremely aggressive, likely the most aggressive enemy that you will have encountered up until this point. This fight can be extremely difficult due to the volume of enemies that are on the ship.
You should try and take out as many as you can from the main floor before starting the fight, they also seem to respawn fairly quickly so you might end up having to fight some of them too during the encounter. Like Boatswain Ambrose, utilize your block button extensively as well as your dodge, as he does have some moves which can bypass your block. But persevere and eventually, he will be defeated. Head back to the First Light Settlement and speak to Sylvia Oakes once again to complete the quest.
