Port Royal, a place no pirate would ever be hanged, however today two of them where not so lucky.
Or should you say, one pirate and a blacksmith?
Yes this time it wasn't only Jack Sparrow to be hang, but also his company in many of his adventures.
Will turner, the poor eunuch with the lovely singing voice what Jack Sparrow would say.
"I know I shouldn't come with you, your alway's getting me into trouble"
Will said while the rope was hang around his neck.
Jack daftly looked up at Will, "I didn't ask you to come." Jack pouted his lips when also the rope was hang around his neck.
Will snapped back, "You tricked me." His eyes narrowed at Jack.
"Pirate." Jack said looking more daflty and innocent as ever.
Then a proudly looking man, with a nice black hat and a red feather on it stepped forward, a large roll of paper in his hand.
He rolled it open and started to read.
Jack listen intently like he wasn't scared at all to die, while Will looked at the ground fearing for his death.
The man first read all the crimes from Will, it seemed he committed a lot during his time with Jack.
Will just shook his head in disbelieve when the man finished his words.
Then the man grabbed another roll of paper and rolled it open, his eyes went wide when he saw how large the paper was.
He glanced at sparrow for a moment not really believing he did al those crimes.
Jack noticed and looked at him, rather innocent again and smirked. "Ye have to do something for a living ey?" He shrugged his shoulders.
The man looked away, back to the paper he swallowed, cleared his throat and started to read.
"Jack Sparrow , be it known that you have…
"Captain, Captain Jack Sparrow...mustn't leave that one out." Jack corrected the man, who looked a bit confused but continued.
"For your willful commission of crimes against the crown.
"Said crimes being numerous in quantity and sinister in nature."
"The most grievous of these to be cited herewith: piracy, smuggling, impersonating an officer of the Spanish Royal Navy,
impersonating a cleric of the Church of England"
The man had to catch his breath to continue.
"Sailing under false colors, arson, kidnapping, looting, poaching, brigandage, pilfering, depravity,
depredation and general lawlessness, dressing up like the asian king and penetrate into the kingdom"
"And for these crimes you have been sentenced to be on this day, hung by the neck until dead. May God have mercy on your soul."
Jack looked up at the sky, "Well he sure does bring goed weather today." He chuckled as he narrowed his eyes at the sun.
Will looked up at him. "Your on the edge off death and you keep making jokes." Will shook his head again.
Jack pouted his lips and looked back at him. "Alway's look on the bright size of life lad."
Suddenly drums could be heard, Will started somehow to panic while Jack stayed calm.
The drums stopped, but before anything could happen Jack raised his bounded hands and held up both his index fingers.
"Ahhh, maybe the audience would like to know, why where about to be hang." Jack said out loudly enough everyone could hear.
The crowd looked at each other and was wondering how this would save him and his mate from the noose.
suddenly some one in the crowd shouted. "Yea I would like to hear, I've heard much about you so tell us."
Then more people started to say they wanted to hear, Jack did a good job during his pirate life telling people about his escape's.
And now it came quite at handy, Jack looked a the man with the papers he rolled his eyes and nodded.
So Jack smirked wide and turned towards the crowd.
"Well lady's and gentleman, here it goes."
"Mister eunuch and I where...
"Jack why are we looking here, Elizabeth will never go to Tortuga." Will asked, hastly running behind Jack.
Jack made large steps, he swaggered towards one of the local Taverns and smirked.
"Owh really, then how did she pop up here last time, when we where looking for Davy Jones key?"
Will opend his mouth to say something, but then shut it.
Cause he was never been in Tortuga, Jack was but Will was aboard the Flying Dutchman back then.
Jack nodded a victorious smirk and walked into the tavern.
He stopped and looked arond, narrowing his eyes at everyone.
Will stopped behind him and looked puzzled over Jack's shoulder wondering where he was looking for.
Then Jack said. "Stay here and try not to do not anything stupid"
Will watched Jack go, he made his way towards some other pirates, and Will couldn't quite see what Jack was doing.
But it seemed he took something out of his coat pocket.
Will Narrowed his eyes, trying to see what Jack had in his hand, it looked like a piece of cloth nothing more.
Will stepped closer a little curious what Jack was saying to the men.
Then they all shook there heads, Jack sighed and putted the piece of cloth back in his pocket.
He walked back at Will and shook his head. "She isn't here, ye where right mate." He tapped Will's shoulder and walked outside.
Will had enough of Jack's games and rushed outside. "Jack stop, I'm not falling into any of your tricks again"
Jack stopped indeed sighed already, and turned around. "What's troubling ye boy"
"YOU." Will snapped and stepped forward.
Jack's eyes wided and he pouted his lips feeling a bit uneasy suddenly. "I'm deeply flattered son, but I can tell ye I can perfectly take care of my onesies"
Will rolled his eyes. "Shut up Jack, I mean your fooling me again, Elizabeth isn't here at all"
Jack was defeated, Elizabeth wasn't in Tortuga indeed. "uhu..., yup she isn't." Jack then said with a huge smile on his face.
Will grabbed his cutlass and pointed it at him. "She isn't been kidnapped at all either, is she?" Will narrowed his eyes at Jack.
Making sure he followed every move he made.
"nope, she is safely at home with her daddy." Jack smirked again finding this rather amused.
Will's eyes wided. "Then why did you bring me here"
Jack rolled his eyes and stepped forward, leading Will away from the crowd and into a safe street in Tortuga.
Jack looked around him before he went into the street so that no one had followed them.
He turned his head back to Will,"Where looking for the right person who know's where this comes from."
He grabbed the piece of cloth out his pocket again and held it in front of Will.
He putted the cloth away and a red ruby was revealed.
"Where did you find this?" Will's eyes stared at the red ruby.
"That's not the point is it, the point is where can I find a person who know's more about it." Jack putted the ruby back in his pocket.
He tapped Will on the shoulder and said. "So let's go"
Jack was already making his way while Will stood there stunned.
"So you asked me to come that I can be your leverage again"
Jack turned around. "That's it right, I'm only usefull when your in trouble." Will was still stunned
Jack stepped closer and pointed a finger towards Will. "Look boy, ye can put it this way: Ye can go home whenever ye want, only the thing is...
"How are ye going to do that?" "Ye have no boat or ship to carry ye away, or ye must turn into a pirate right...now"
"NEVER." Will hissed
Jack shrugged his shoulders. "Then shush mate, and don't make such a big deal about a little adventure, pirate blood is still in yer veins, so get on with it"
Jack gestured his fingers and walked towards the next tavern, while Will putted his cutlass away and sighed deeply.
At least Elizabeth was save so he quitly followed Jack.
Reaching the next tavern Jack walked in, seeing the barman he walked up to him.
"Ahoy there mate, you might look like the man who can help me out"
The man cleaned a mug with a old cloth, raising a eyebrow at Jack. "Maybe." He said a bit annoyed already.
Jack leaned against the bar, grabbed the cloth out of his pocket again and showed the ruby at the man.
"Blimey." The man said as he bended over the red ruby.
"That looks so shiny." He said in some trance, as his hands already like a little thief reached out for the ruby.
Jack quickly pulled it away back in his pocket. "Shiny indeed, now do ye know more about it"
The man snapped out his trance and looked annoyed again. "Do I look like a know? "I'm a bartender not a philosopher."
Jack raised both his eyebrows. "Very well." Jack said already turning around and walked away.
The man's eyes followed him and made up his mind. "Wait, you there pirate wait"
Jack stopped and turned back. "I might know someone who can help you."
That was all that needed to catch Jack's attention.
He watched at Will,"Told ye he was the man who's going to help me out." Will only nodded.
He stepped back and nodded. "Let's hear it then." Will made his way next to Jack, curious like Jack was.
"Well, up in the mountain of Tortuga, there lives someone who know's a lot about those things"
"But I must warn ye mates, she's a bit stubborn."
"She?" Jack raised a eyebrow.
"Aye, I don't know much about her, only that she's a pirate, so I don't know either if she's home right now"
The man made his way in front of the bar and pointed outside a window.
"Ye see that house up in the mountain, there she lives."
Jack and Will looked outside, both a bit wondering why anyone would live up there.
"If yer going to walk now, ye made it before sunset."
Jack nodded and started to make his way outside, but the guy coughed, Jack turned his head.
It was cleary the man wanted something for his story and his help.
Jack pouted his lips and turned his head daftly towards Will who stood behind him and walked outside.
Will sighed deep again and rolled his eyes, rumbling deep into his pocket he grabbed two penny's and slammed them down on the bar.
He rushed outside almost running into Jack who looked up at the mountain.
"We have to climb that?" Will raised a eyebrow.
"Aye, let's go." And both made there way through the forrest up to the mountain.
