Lea: Hey guys! It's me! Lea! Former Nobody and Chaos God of Contradictions and welcome to 1,001 Things I'm not allowed to do in: Kingdom Hearts! Veronica is a bit, busy at the moment.
(I cackle wildly as I swing around on my new pirate ship)
Lea: Yeah, she's embracing the pirate lifestyle for our next adventure. Pirates of the Caribbean!
(I land next to him)
I don't own anything except myself! I may even get that tattooed on me while we're here!
Lea: I certainly won't say no to that! Tattoos are pretty sexy, Got it memorized?
481. Veronica, you are not the Pirate Lord of Madagascar. Stop telling people you are!
Actually, after they met me for the first time, Jack's parents adopted me on the spot as his older sister.
When Captain Teague retired to become the Keeper of the Code, he passed his title on to me as the eldest.
Make no mistake, I still had to work my ass off, and build my entire crew and ship from scratch, and bring in the head of a betrayer to the brotherhood to prove myself to the Brethren Court.
The Wayward Blade is a fine ship, and my crew is mostly made up of women. Lea is my First Mate since he is my intended, and we usually recruit any of my many adoptive kids as Cabin Boys or Scullery Maids whenever they come aboard. This time, it was James' turn since he was the only kid.
482. Hide the rum at your own risk.
I may not be Jack, but when I'm in that world I down rum like water.
It's practically a requirement for all Pirate Lords to be able to handle high quantities of their chosen liquor.
Mine is usually high quality Scotch and whiskey, but pure coconut rum is just as good. As is palm wine.
The last time Jack raided my ship for rum, the entire crew nearly keel hauled him because he drank it all. If Teague hadn't interfered, they would have with my full permission to either keel haul him, feed him to the sharks, or maroon him.
483. Veronica is not interested in the treasure of Cortez.
I was there when the idiot actually cursed the damn thing. What the hell would I want with conditional immortality like that?
I'm already immortal, I don't need shit like that or the fountain of youth. In fact, adding those into my particular brand of immortality wuld probably hurt, a lot.
484. Veronica is the only person to sail in and out of Davy Jones' locker regularly.
Other than Jones himself, or Will now I guess.
Jones didn't like me, at all.
He regularly sent the Kraken to drag my ship to the bottom of the sea. My crew panicked about it the first few times, but they actually got used to it after awhile. Now they just see it as a minor annoyance, or as a pit stop to drop off our treasure since I started leaving our stash there.
What better place to store treasure you don't want disturbed, then the one place Pirates avoid like the plague?
Jack knows it's there of course, but he knows that I'll filet him alive if he touches even a single coin.
485. To all mermaids, fuck with Veronica and her crew at your own risk.
We respect each other's boundaries. The mermaids that call my territory home are generally the non-confrontational kind, with the odd splatter of sirens.
The ones that know us, know that my crew is primarily women. The only men on board are my intended, who only has eyes for me, and a kid too young to notice the fairer sex.
The ones that don't know us however flee our waters after encountering us.
Why do you think the Caribbean has so many man eaters? They find easier prey there!
486. Veronica is not to be kept from her bi-annual dinner with Tia Dalma aka Calypso.
She's my auntie on my dad's side.
The emperor had to get the other half of the Primarch's genetic code from somewhere! So he turned to the Minor Gods. Not the Chaos Gods, back then he hated them with a passion. It was part of the reason I was thrown into another dimension for my own safety.
I still think Jones is a complete bastard for telling the Brethren Court how to bind her form, and I never waste the chance to tell him so. Auntie still loves him though, and I know he still loves her despite the hate that blackens his heart.
I never miss those dinners with her. EVER.
487. Just because Veronica is a woman, and her intended is on board, does not mean that you can address Lea before her. She is still the captian.
Commodore Norrington learned that lesson in a hurry after Lea threatened to cut off his pride with a rusty cutlass if he didn't show the proper respect to me as the Captain.
Becket on the other hand didn't get the message until I cut off one of his fingers the first time we met. He was just a snot nosed asshole back then, but he quickly rose through the ranks of the East India Trading Company.
488. Don't touch Veronica's crew. She takes it very personally.
Becket thought he could lure me out by taking Lea and my second mate Trisha. Turns out, he branded them with the Pirate Mark before I even got there, and when I let them take me they branded me with the mark as well.
But Lea and I left our marks on him when we escaped.
Mine is an ordinate V that's carved into his skin right under his left collarbone. Lea's is a flame-shaped brand on the back of his left hand. They both mark him as a personal enemy, and I gleefully wait for the day I can take his head.
489. Veronica is a battle nut. She was born a battle nut, and she will die a battle nut.
It's not just hand to hand battle either. I go nuts for any kind of fight from hand-to-hand to ariel dogfights to navel battles.
Lea enjoys a good fight too, and James is slowly getting there, but they won't have a true taste of battle for some time yet.
The gathering of the Brethren Court, the appointment of the new Pirate King, and the battle that followed was utterly delightful, in both the battle sense and the chaos it unleashed with Auntie being freed from her binds, Jones' death, and Will's ascension as the new captain of the Flying Dutchman.
Lea and I got our dues from Becket after his ship went down. My crew was the one that fished him out of the sea and even now his bleached skull serves as a paperweight on my desk. The rest of the crew agreed that it was a fitting end for a slime ball like him.
490. Veronica is the reason why Jack is chasing a way to immortality.
My foolish little brother wants the one treasure that a mortal is not supposed to have. I think I amazed him a bit too much with tales of my adventures when he was younger. The fact that I never seemed to age, while he steadily grew older, made him jealous.
I told him that mortals aren't supposed to become immortal. The power and burn from a few centuries of immortality can literally burn out a mortal body.
He didn't listen though, and I gave up on trying to convince him after the Fountain of Youth incident.
I know him though, and his brand of luck. Every time he comes close to touching immortality, he will be confronted with the impossible choice. Save an innocent person and destroy the source of immortality, or go on to become immortal.
His moral compass is too strong to let an innocent be killed.
