Green Leaf
~X~
The Black Pearl docked once more on a tropical island, and Jack had once again left his crew to wonder on his own. The Pirate Caption was wondering through the large forest, drinking a bottle of rum. He was wobbling as he walked, hands slightly in the air swaying a bit.
The caption stopped next to a large tree, looking at as if he didn't know what it was. "Pardon me," he would say, moving passed it, but stopped again. He noticed a leaf sticking out from the bark and he stared at it, picking it off gently, and holding it up.
The green leaf was the same shape of a pirate ship. Jack turned it over once and tilted his head. "A ship?" he said, lifting the leaf to his nose and he sniffed it. "And it smells like Rum," he said, eyes going wide. He then looked at the hand holding the bottle of rum. "Oh."
He took a large gulp of the rum and once more turned to the leaf in his other hand. He placed it on top of his head, sticking it under his hat. "I think, I'll keep it," he said, turning around and heading back to the ship, staggering on his way, and drinking more of his rum.
Once he got the ship he heard his name being called.
"Oi Capin'!"
Jack turned on his heals to see who was calling and smiled. "Yes Gibbs, what is it?"
Gibbs would stair at the green leaf peeking out from under Jack's hat but decided not to ask about it. "Er Jack, there is no people on this island, and not much we can do to supply here."
Jack brought the bottle of rum to his lips; he blinked and looked inside the bottle. "Why is the rum always gone?" he asked with a frown. "Oh… that's why."
"Err Capin' what do you suggest we do?"
"Well Gibbs, I think we should go somewhere where there are woman…, and Rum don't you?" Jack said, staggering a bit and pointing to Gibbs.
Gibbs blinked and nodded. "So then, Tortuga?"
Jack's smile widened. "Tortuga."
