Disclaimer: I Do Not own POTC therefore I don't own the characters the mouse does.

I do own the plot, King Hunter and Princess Rihanna though.

To Be the Man

A Chance Meeting in Barbados

Jack Sparrow was sitting on the deck of the Black Pearl as it came into the port of the island of Barbados, pondering why they had come to this forsaken island and not just gone to Tortuga like they normally would. He quickly became distracted from his chain of thoughts when he saw a gorgeous woman on the dock gazing out to sea, to the Black Pearl. The pearl came into port and the crew rushed to the nearby bar, all except Jack. Jack took it upon himself to meet the woman and set out in search of her. He finally found her arguing with an elderly man on the other side of town. He snuck closer to investigate what they were arguing about.

"I thought I told you, my darling daughter, stay away from those docks, there a pirates out there and I fear they will kidnap you to get at me." the elderly man said irritably.

"But father, there are pirates in the town right now." The girl retorted.

"All the more reason for you to stay hidden. Especially if it's that Hector Barbossa and his crew. That man has no morals and would not hesitate to take you." The man replied.

"Excuse me sir, but not all pirates are like Hector. Some of us just like our freedom and rum, savvy?" Jack said, breaking cover.

"You're a pirate?!" the girl said in shock, intrigued by the handsome pirate standing before them.

"Yes, I am." Jack replied.

"I want to talk to your captain, pirate." the man said.

"I am the captain." Jack retorted.

"The captain of what ship?" the man inquired.

"The Black Pearl."

"So you're the captain of the Black Pearl. And your name be?"

"Captain Jack Sparrow. And yours be?"

"King Hunter Hearst Helmsley. And your business in my land be what, Captain Sparrow?"

"Restocking me ship after weeks at sea, your highness. And your fine daughter's name be?"

"None of your business, pirate."

"I be no normal pirate captain but a pirate lord as well. One of the nine pirate lords from around the world."

"I see. And where exactly are you lord of, Captain Sparrow."

"The Caribbean, mate. I be the pirate lord of the Caribbean."

"Well even with that taken into account my daughter's name still be none of your business, Sparrow."

"My name's Rihanna, Jack.' The girl said.

"Cap'n, we be ready to set off again." Gibbs said as he came running up to his captain.

"Thank you, Mr Gibbs." Jack acknowledged his first mate and best mate, and then turned back to the king and princess and addressed them, "Well I guess I'll be off then. Farewell, your highness, King Hunter Hearst Helmsley and fair Princess Rihanna." Jack removed his tricorne hat and bowed to the King and Princess. And then he was off.
