That didn't work either but Ma'Zaz's cannon ball drops on the deck. Take the cannon ball.
Use powder keg with gunpowder on cannon. Use cannon ball on cannon. Light the cannon with the lit cigar.
That worked with an ending twist.
Free yourself from cage:

Use the corkscrew on the rivets of board on top of the cage. A small amount of gap is made.
Chain: Look at the chain above the cage.

Age of the Mary: Talk to Mary. Captain Olos had the lock installed 12 years ago.

Lock: Look close at the lock and turn the symbols to show from left to right: square with a circle inside, an X with a circle above it and 69.
Get Ma'Zaz' axe:
Go through open hatch and be at the hull standing on a tank. See Zazi using her axe on the hatch. It is best to take that away.
