Hello everybody, I've got the next chapter up for guys. This is set on the island of Tortuga (which is seen in most of the Pirates of the Caribbean films). For those of you who don't know, Tortuga is an Island located in the Caribbean, in the films, it is depicted as a port island, which is mostly filled with Pirates and sailors because it is one of the only free ports in the Caribbean that is out of the jurisdiction of the British Navy, I hope you like it, Enjoy.

Chapter 5

The Island of Tortuga was one of the only free ports in the Caribbean, and the crew of the Toonspaniola were making there stop to have their ship be repaired while they find another ship with a captain and crew that will help them in their search for the crystal. Through the streets, men, toons and pirates were either shooting guns randomly for entertainment, or drinking like there was no tomorrow, or both. Wenches were running about, either being chased, or trying to get something that someone else had stolen from them. Jim, Merida, Fry, Bender, and the rest of the group all walked down the streets as they were looking around the pirate inhabited port.

"Well… um, this is pleasant" Rapunzel said sarcastically before one man was tossed out a window from above and into a barrel of water, Pascal was hiding in her bag.

"Don't worry" Merida said "Squire Ed went off to find someone to repair the ship; we'll just find who Jim is looking for and a person with a ship who can help us. She ran up closer to Jim passing through his group that everyone was following "Hey Jim, do you think you could find a ship with a captain that can help us"

"I already know who" Jim replied "But first, we have to find an old friend of my dad's"

The group stopped at an ally outside of a pub called the Faithful Bride, where they found a man was sleeping with the pigs, he was a middle aged man with grey hair and white sideburns, wearing a blue vest over a short-sleeved white collar shirt with brown boots. Jim took a bucket filled with water, went over to the man, and splashed the water on him to get him to wake up. The man got up from his sleep, angered at first.

"God you know its bad luck to wake a man when he's sleeping" he said frustrated, then he looked up to see the Boy who splashed him was none other than Jim Hawkins.

"Hey Gibbs" Jim said

"Sweet blessed mercy" Gibbs replied with a relived surprise "Jim, I haven't seen you in ages"

"Well, I haven't seen you in years either" replied Jim. Merida looked confused and decided that introductions would be best "Merida, everybody, this is Joshamee Gibbs; he was a friend of my dad's back when I was little"

"Aye" Gibbs replied "So Jim, what brings you here?"

"I need a favor from you"

"We'll discuss it in the pub" replied Gibbs

"Alright, get out of that pig sty then we'll talk" Jim said, as Gibbs got up, Merida took the bucket that was filled with water and splashed it on him again, he spat out the water that came from his mouth and looked up in frustration.

"Lord I'm already awake!" he yelled.

"Sorry, that was for the smell" Merida replied. Gibbs looked at her again, but figured that it was probably for the best. Soon, they all went inside the Faithful bride to get a drink and talk about what their next move was going to be.

When they were inside the pub, they all sat down and got themselves some drinks, Bender was swiping bottles from unsuspecting men and drinking from them before doing the same thing to others. Gibbs sat with Jim, Merida, and Flynn Rider in the corner while the rest of the group surrounded them in tables so that no one would interrupt them.

"So what is it that you're here for" Gibbs asked Jim.

"I'm going after the staff of the seas" Jim replied which made Gibbs almost spit his drink out.

"Dear god, those are dark waters that you'd have to cross" Gibbs replied.

"We know that" Merida said "Our ship got damaged and we need to find a ship that works with a captain that can help us"

"Well, there are many captains around here, but I know one that is the right person to turn to" said Gibbs

"How do you know?" asked Jim.

"Because I know those waters straight and true" a voice said coming towards them. They looked to see a man with a short beard, wearing black Pirates clothing, a black hat, black boots, and had a monkey with a little suit on sitting on his elbow.

"Hector Barbosa" said Jim "I didn't expect to see you here"

"You owe me a fair share after our raid in New Guiney" said Barbosa.

"Don't mention it" Jim said remembering that raid they pulled off a while ago.

"Now, I hear you be looking for a ship and a crew to undertake a voyage to the fabled crystal of the seas" said Barbosa.

"Yes, that's exactly what we are here for" Flynn replied.

"But at what bargain?" asked Barbosa

"I'll pay you off with all of the money that I have" says Jim. Suddenly, they heard someone coming in through the crowd; they looked and saw Squire Ed rushing through to tell the group news about their ship.

"Oh, hello there" said Ed.

"So, what did they say about our ship" asked Merida.

"I just spoke with the owner of the repair shop" said Ed "They said that it may take about two weeks until the ship is repaired"

"What, two weeks!" Merida asked surprise

"Well, it would be a week, but there are many holes on the deck of the ship, and they said it could take longer to make new sails for the mast" said Ed.

"So Barbosa" said Jim "You help us get to the staff, and I'll pay you what I have in return, do we have a deal?" he asked. Barbosa thought for a minute, and decided that the deal was struck.

"Very well then, tomorrow you will meet our crew on the morrow, we need more sea dogs anyway" Barbosa said to them. Jim grabbed a mug as did Barbosa.

"Take what you can" said Jim

"Give nothin' back" Barbosa finished as they clinked their mugs together before taking a drink and then Jim got together with the rest of the group to discuss what to do next.

Well, that's the end; sorry about the delay again, I couldn't have time because of school starting up again, but I will continue to work on this story, Please review for me, I'll see you next chapter.
