This story was planned Concepted, outlined and written prior to the announcement of Kingdom Hearts IV as such it must be treated as an AU also of note everything dealing with Kairi in the Manga adaptation going forward is canon to this as is the Child of Destiny prophecy so yeah I might be cherry picking going forward.

He had worked on the calculations tirelessly. He knew that the Dutchman was coming something had happened. The curse that had taken over Davy Jones was affecting him despite him ferrying the dead. Henry quickly tied the rope to the large Rock; then had tied the other side to his ankle, before picking it up and walking to the edge. With a Deep breath he jumped off and landed in the sea letting the rock drop he focused his eyes shut tight. Suddenly he heard the rock hit something he opened his eyes. He was now on a ship. The one his father had been cursed too.
He felt the boat tilt up he held on tight as it suddenly soared upward. The Water rushing around his body even pinning him down a bit, as it rose but soon he heard the water loudly splash from the surface being shattered by the Dutchman. What had pooled on deck had mostly, ran out of the various orifices that filled the ship and the deck itself. But some collected into small pockets in the structure.
Henry coughed and gasped the fire from his lungs burning from no air and the quick descent now calming. Once he regained his breath, he looked around at the boat bathed in moonlight seaweed and algae had completely covered it now some hanging down. "Father?" he asked noticing a shadow coming out where the Captain Quarters was.
"Henry what have you done?!" the man asked in an ominous tone.
"I said I'd find you!" Henry replied having researched tirelessly for most of his life every myth and legend of his world and sea.
"Look at me!" his father William Turner said stepping out into the Moon light. The curse was starting to take effect on him. Patches of scales and barnacles were covering his face and hands. There was even a large patch of it on the former.
"I don't care!" Henry Protested.
"There's no place for you on the Dutchman," Will Protested sternly. There, was suddenly voices that had started chattering. "They know you're here! Get home to your mother!"
"No!" Henry defiantly shouted.
"Leave now before it's too late!" Will shouted drawing his sword and using it to cut the rope attached to his ankle.
"I won't I'll never stop! And if you throw me over I'll come straight back!" Henry protested channeling his mother's fire.
Will sighed. "Can't you see I'm cursed to this ship?" he asked sadly.
"That's why I'm here." Henry said quickly. "I think I know a way to break your curse a way to free you from the Dutchman!"
"Henry no…" Will, said softly.
"A treasure that holds all the power of the sea: The Trident of Poseidon can break your curse." Henry explained. Will tightly hugged his son like it would be the last time he ever could.
"The Trident can never be found it's just a tale." Will softly whispered in his ear.
"Like the tales of you and Captain Jack Sparrow!?" Henry asked in response, when his father broke away finally. "He will help me find the Trident!"
"You stay away from Jack!" Will hissed. "Leave the sea forever! You have to stop acting like-"
"A Pirate!?" Henry said. "I won't stop!" he said defiantly. "I want you to come home." He said tearing up a little.
Will frowned. "Henry I'm sorry, this is my fate…." He said pulling off a necklace and giving it to his son as a keepsake. "You have to let me go." He said closing it in his son's hand before gingerly touching his face. "I love you son." He said the ship sinking around them Henry quickly found himself back underwater. He saw the shadow of his boat and swam up quickly climbing back in and lying on his back exhausted. "Captain Jack Sparrow…" he muttered refusing to give up.

Waves crash around each other under the starry sky several red ones shine incredibly brightly
as a map appears and flips over with a pirate skull in the middle The World's name fades on as a fire
Burns underneath it
The Caribbean
Kiro had been working his ass off back in Haven Valley training with his weapons. He could switch between Keyblades freely now on a dime and regained Stop, Thundega, Haste and Slow. As well as the attack Blade Burst. Amei had worked trying to charge magic and now had a better handle on third level spells. They soon arrived in the Caribbean. Nanaki hadn't changed but they had.
Kiro was now wearing a loose tan colored leather vest with an orange died rim and a white shirt with a Red sash around his waist. He had black pants with tan leather boots. His earring that held Jade, was more visible now as his hair was pulled back a bit from the head band now being a head scarf tightly tied around the top of his head. Thankfully the scar on his forehead was still hidden. He didn't want to talk about it.
Amei had a blue pirate dress with a torn lighter blue skirt underneath with the corset the same color as her vest, and a dirty lavender in the center and rimming around the top of the neck where some teal lace was. She had pale bluish silver shoulder armor on one side, With a very pale purple-Silver rim. Her leather gloves were died maroon. With, a pale lavender died top.
She also had maroon steel toed boots. Her hair was also mostly down. Two braids hung over her shoulders with gold clasps on them. Her hair aside from what her bow was tied too was mostly down. Kiro thought she looked beautiful like this he kept out of eye side and tried to stop blushing.
He then noticed Zidane who was wearing a Teal and Gold Pirate jacket and hat With grey boots and a large blue feather in the cap with some gold rings one with teal round jewels on his tail. He had a white button up shirt underneath and belts from his usual outfit with his Knife.
They suddenly heard a strange skidding sound. Heavy with the sound of wood cracking and groaning they all turned to it. Kiro could hear screaming from it as a whole Bank was being pulled by a horse drawn cart.
"What in the world?!" Kiro asked they began to race after it when they suddenly heard shouting. Kiro turned to see a woman surrounded by Heartless. She was wearing a blue dress with her brown hair tied back.
"Hang on!" Kiro shouted summoning Ancient Hero as he ran forward changing it into it's Bow form as he shot the Pirate and Air Pirate Heartless.
"Are you okay?" Kiro asked as they heard the Building being chased behind them making him look over and blink in disbelief. "Uhhhhhhhh…." The Woman he had saved had run off towards a nearby store as everyone stared.
"You don't see that everyday…." Zidane muttered.
"WIIIIITTCH!" shouted the store owner as the girl from before ran out of the store. "There's a witch in my shop help!" the kids ran in as did another man who smelt of strong Alcohol a man with raggedy hair and a captain's hat though no feather like Zidane's though he did have hair beads in some of his braids a large jacket white shirt with a bleached red sash and black pants and various pistols.
"That's-"Kiro yelped as the man who was pointing a gun at them. "There's Pirates, a Witch and a Demon in my shop."
"Well it's your lucky day!" Captain Jack Sparrow had slurred. "Have the six of you seen my bank?" he asked.
"Your Bank?!" Kiro asked incredulously
"That was you!?" Zidane asked his eye brow arched before suddenly the wall in front of them, the shop keeper screaming and ducking for cover as glass shattered around him ripped clean off.
"Found it!" Jack said. Kiro suddenly heard guards without thinking the group rushed off with Jack following him out of the hole and down the street.
"Were you lot, part of the plan?" Jack asked as they ran.
"Uhh no!" Amei said sharply.
"Absolutely, not!" Kiro snapped.
"We're not looking for trouble." The Woman added.
"What a horrible way to live." Jack replied incredulously, He was clearly insane.
Kiro could hear the soldiers behind them fortunately they had climbed up some ladders before they could see where they were going and made it to a roof top. However more had found them.
"Oh no!" Kiro cried.
"What do we do!?" the woman asked.
"You all need to scream," Jack Cryptically said next thing Kiro knew he had grabbed the girl and threw her into them causing them crash into each other and go screaming off into a nearby hay cart down below. Kiro and the woman glared up as she shouted at him.
"Filthy Pirate!" she snarled.
"No need for name calling!" he heard Jack call as he began to flee.
"So you have a name?" Zidane asked adjusting his hat on his head as Nanaki shook himself out and Kiro groaned.
"Carina Smyth." She replied.
"Kiro, Amei, Zidane, and Nanaki who is not a Demon!" Kiro said gesturing to all of them as the cart sped off.
X X X
The kids had made an excellent distraction but why did one of them look like Sora with red hair? He pushed it out of his head as he raced after the bank. Looking around and thinking quickly he balanced across the roof seeing the Union Jack flag he jumped at it jumping off and using it as a spring to land on the bank he started balancing along the roof seeing several Soldiers fail in their plan to head off his crew. Their horses rearing in fear them stumbling and jumping back, some falling off their horses.
He chuckled triumphantly. "This is the day you shall all remember as the day you almost caught-"
"JAAACK!" Gibbs shouted as he turned to see a Bridge he yelped. He quickly ran over the bridge as he felt bits of Debris fly off around him jumping down he hit the safe and groaned as they were safe the remaining bits of the Bank blocking the soldiers off and giving them an escape.
They returned to their ship a pathetic dingy next to his beloved Pearl that had been locked into a bottle by Black Beard five years prior. He had found many of the crew who had been MIA when Blackbeard attacked Barbossa including Ragetti and Pintel sadly. But thanks to things not going quite right sadly, all that was left was one Dubloon he snatched it and hid it in his coat pocket before Ragetti looked in he moved out of the way looking perturbed as he looked around.
"It's Empty!" he shouted as everyone groaned.
"Where's the Dosh!?" growled another Pirates.
Jack turned filled with anger. "Do you think robbing a bank is easy, you Gaggle of gutless heels of the Womb's guilty pleasure, of putting me in this dreadful pickle in the first place! Now line up and pay me your tribute!" he demanded.
"You want us to pay you!?" Marty snapped.
"Am I not the captain of this ship?" he asked in response they looked around at the dying gull.
"You call this a ship?" Crembel asked.
"Where's the treasure?" Pintel asked.
"All of us are starving!" Brown pointed out.
"We will no longer follow a captain without a ship." Crembel added.
"I have a ship!" Jack replied pulling out the bottle that contained the Black Pearl. "The Black Pearl has never left me side." He said proudly.
"Barbosa rules these seas now." Brown told him.
"He has ten ships each of them guns full." Pintel pointed out.
"Not to mention his cannon balls Ragetti added, "Eighteen pounds."
"A one legged man with eighteen pound balls?" Jack asked sardonically in a way that could be seen as an insult to his old rival. "That's why he walks funny." He said making a joke Marty couldn't help but snicker now it was time to butter them up.
"Come on mates didn't we find the treasure of Macedonia together?" he asked.
"A Troll of rotting wood," One of his crew pointed out.
"Gold of King Midus!" he quickly added.
"Pile of donkey dung," Ragetti noted, as Jack groaned in defeat.
"Face it Jack, bad luck dogs you day and night!" Gibbs sighed.
"That is a blatant fabrication!" Jack shouted in denial. But he was right something wrong and he couldn't figure it out. He heard a splash from his shoulder some poop from a seagull.
"You've lost your luck." Brown said.
"You've lost your ship." Crembel added.
"And now you've lost your crew." Marty said as the crew left him. Jack looked to Gibbs who sighed.
"I'm sorry Jack but we've reached the end of the Horizon." He said putting a hand on his clean shoulder before leaving. Jack felt an inner dagger pierce his heart he glared at their backs.
"Fine then! Yer all dismissed eh? All of ya DISMISSED!" he shouted "you'll never sail with Captain Jack Sparrow again, tell you that!" He pulled out his most prized possession the compass. It pointed to the thing he wanted most to sail the horizon again. Sadly and pathetically he placed his precious pearl up on it and looked deep into it to imagine it sailing.

"That's terrible." Kiro said as Carina explained her predicament to them.
"Is it that hard to believe that a woman can know this stuff too anyone can learn." Amei added.
"Right?" Carina said as they looked around.
"So you're trying to find out your true identity?" Kiro asked.
"That's right." Carina replied.
"Kiro!" Eraqus voice called as they turned to see him. He was wearing a loose blue and red dyed vest that showed his chest a little bit. He had a leather duster and black boots and grey gloves.
"Hey Eraqus what's up this is Carina a Horologist." Kiro replied.
"Nice to meet you, listen the guards nearby have ordered a prisoner to execution. His sleeves were ripped and was said to be blabbing about undead pirates and tridents. I think it might be Henry."
"Henry?!" Kiro gasped, "We have to save him!"
"Who's Henry?" Zidane asked.
"He's William and Elizabeth Turner's son. He's been looking for a way to free his father from his curse"
"A Curse?" Zidane cried, "How?"
"Well, from what I was told it was the only way to save him. After the Dutchman's evil captain Davy Jones fatally injured him." Kiro said. "Anyway we're wasting time lets hurry."
They turned and Carina was suddenly gone. "Carina?" Kiro gasped.
"She muttered something about finding Henry maybe she's looking for something too?" Amei asked.
"I guess we'll meet up later let's go." Kiro said.
"Henry's being held at a Medical center near the port, if we hurry we can find him before they escort him out." Eraqus said gesturing them to move.

"I came to see if the rumors were true, why do you seek the Trident?" Carina asked the boy she knew to be Henry.
"The Trident can break any curse. My Father was bound by such a curse." Henry replied.
"You are aware that Curses aren't supported by science?" she asked.
"Neither are Ghosts." Henry retorted simply.
"So you have gone mad!" Carina said in disbelief shaking her head. "I never should've come here."
"Then why did you come here?" Henry asked angrily.
"Because I need to get off this island," Carina hissed. "To Solve the Map-"
"No man can read left by Poseidon himself." Henry finished.
"You've read the ancient texts?" Carina asked hopefully.
"In every language they're written in. But no man has ever read it." Henry warned.
She smiled. "Luckily I'm a Woman." She immediately went into her bag and pulled out a book with a ruby encrusted on the front. "This is the Diary of Galileo Galilei. He spent his life searching for the Trident. It's why he invented the Spy Glass. Why Astronomers have spent their lives staring into the sky.
"So you're saying the Map no man can read, is hidden in the stars." Henry asked in awe.
"This was left to me by my father. He believed, I could find what no man couldn't. I won't let him down." she replied. "Soon there will be a blood moon and only then will the map be read." She said.
"Who are you?" Henry asked.
"Carina Smyth!" shouted soldiers aiming their muskets at them.
"If you wish to save your father you'll have to save me! Find us a Ship find me!" she said giving him a small large metal needle before running off. But she was suddenly grabbed by soldiers that had cut her off roughly grabbing her and slamming her roughly into the wall. Her jaw and head hurt as she heard a soldier shout.
"He's gone! He's gone sir!" Henry had escaped.
"Find that coward he'll hang with the Witch!" shouted the captain.

As Kiro ran smelling the sea as he saw the building in sight. He suddenly saw Henry running towards them. "Henry you're alright!" Kiro called.
"Kiro, Eraqus is that you?!"
"Yeah it's us, it's been a while." Eraqus replied, smiling at their old friend.
"Yeah it has. Listen I need your help." Henry said relying what Carina had told him.
"So this Trident can break your Dad's curse?" Kiro asked. "I want to help."
"That's not like you." Zidane muttered. "It's not an issue though. We'd be looking around for the Grand Leon Sword anyway."
"Yeah, honestly my Dad's missing too, and I know what Henry's been going through for all his life. So I want to help him." Kiro said. They nodded. "I may suck at saving my own father but at least I can help Henry."
"This Trident right, nine years ago you had learned about it. Then disappeared during the night. Sora your mom and everyone except for Namine went looking for you." Eraqus replied.
"I don't remember this." Kiro admitted.
"You were only three at the time." Eraqus replied.
"I went to see my father that night to tell him of the Trident. I wanted him and I to find it together but….He wouldn't." Henry sighed.
"I can summon my dad's ship….but I don't know if I have the power right now…Regardless Carina is our best chance. We need to save her." Kiro said as it began to rain. They raced towards a nearby bar following after Henry. As they huddled inside, Zidane noticed a compass sitting off to the side behind the bar. However he suddenly heard something outside. He poked his head out.
"Let it be known that the infamous pirate Jack Sparrow will be executed at Dawn!" shouted a soldier.
"Executed!" shouted a drunken Jack. "I will never set foot in this town again!" he said as he was dragged off telling them that he meant it.
"Uh oh!" Zidane hissed.

It wasn't the most ideal circumstances, especially with a stolen chron-monitor. But she was carving into the cell wall. Fortunately the storm had stopped. Instantly she was bathed in bright red light she looked up hoping her plan would work but then. She looked down; the ruby on her father's diary was glowing and seemed to reveal things on the book. "Huh?" she muttered managing to pull off the gem and move it over the cover.
To her amazement there were symbols and a star map on it as well as some text. "To Release the Power of the sea all must divide." Then she saw an island as she moved the gem down the cover at its bottom.
"It's an island…." She muttered. "The stars lead to an island."

Henry and the others had snuck inside the jail, hoping to get Jack Sparrow out maybe even find Carina, "If he was nearby, then that means, this is Jack's compass…and he traded it for rum!" Kiro hissed. "How pathetic, what did my Dad ever see in him? He's no Kakashi I'll tell you that much."
"No Kakashi eh?" Zidane snickered, "sounds like a man crush if I heard one."
"Shut up!" Kiro shouted blushing. Fortunately he hadn't waken the sleeping guards. Henry hissed at them to be quiet. As they snuck down stairs in the soldier's attire, even Nanaki somehow, and was balancing on two legs. Henry checked the cells there was one that had a man staring with his back to the door.
"I'm looking for Captain Jack Sparrow?" he said no answer.
"It does look like him." Kiro said summoning his Keyblade and unlocking the cell. Suddenly Jack came running out screaming only to run head first into a force field and fall back. Amei had covered her eyes for some reason. Then Kiro saw that he had no pants.
"I'm looking for Jack Sparrow." Henry said as the man stood up he was Jack.
"Well today's your lucky day! I am him!" Jack declared proudly as Henry looking disappointed shook his head.
"No! You can't be! The Great Jack Sparrow isn't some drunk in a cell! Do you have a ship, a crew, PANTS?!" Henry cried incredulously.
Jack just smiled. "A great pirate does not require such intricacies."
"Yes they do," Kiro drawled rolling his eyes.
"You're a rude little boy." Jack pouted.
"Do you know how long I've been waiting for this moment?! The Risks I've taken to be here!?" Henry snapped. "Are you sure that you're The Jack Sparrow!?"
"The Question is who are you lot?" Jack asked quizzically.
"I'm Zidane. this is Kiro, Eraqus, Amei and Nanaki." He said as Henry followed up.
"I'm Henry Turner. The son of William Turner and Elizabeth Sawnn," Henry replied.
Jack backed away with a grossed out sound. "You're the evil spawn of them two!" he yelped before thinking of something and smiling. Kiro inwardly groaned. "Has mommy ever asked about me?"
"No," Henry said simply.
"Oh, go on!" Jack begged.
"Sir with all due respect, we don't have time for gossip. We need to get you out of here." Eraqus said in a slightly urgent tone.
"There's always time for gossip." Jack argued. "She must have been calling out for me in her sleep."
"No! She has no interest in you!" Kiro groaned.
"Are we all sure we're talking about the same person?" Jack asked, as Eraqus, impatiently tossed his pants hat and jacket at his back. "He's a cursed Eunuch,"
"What's it like in your own little world?" Zidane asked as Eraqus, annoyed draped the jacket over him and placed his hat on his head Kiro helping.
Jack didn't listen he simply continued. "She's stubborn, golden haired, pouty lips, neck like a giraffe and those wonderful-"
"If we get caught and executed. I am haunting you for eternity!" Kiro snapped, as Eraqus was now watching for guards huffing.
"Ghosts can't haunt other Ghosts lad." Jack replied simply.
"I'm Sora's son. I'll find a way!" Kiro snapped. But yelped covering his mouth. "Damn it!"
Jack seemed to light up at this, "Sora's wonderful son eh? I'm sure he's told tales my daring valor!" Jack said puffing out his chest.
"He has," Kiro said taking a step back.
"We need you to listen, Jack!" Henry added. "I've found a way to break my father's curse and free him from the Dutchman the Trident of Poseidon!"
"Ahh yes, the treasure found with the Map no Man can read!" Jack said smiling before shaking his head. "Never heard of it!"
"There is a girl in this prison Jack. She has the map the treasure will be found. And you will hold the power of the sea in your hands. And With it become all that you once were!" Henry offered but Jack had nodded off snoring.
"Jack!" they shouted he yelped awake.
"Oh I'm sorry were you still talking I may have nodded off a bit." Jack said with a slight groggy slur.
"One other thing. A message from someone you know, named Captain Salazar." Henry told him.
Jack hummed, "I once knew a Spaniard who was something in Spanish."
Henry spoke a title in Spanish then added, "The Butcher of the Sea."
"Him?!" Jack asked in fear but started smiling to reassure himself, as he muttered no a few times. "Happily he is dead quiet very dead! Ship went down!"
"Inside the Triangle," Henry noted. "He's coming for you Jack, to seek revenge as the Dead-Man's Tale is told."
"I don't believe you." Jack replied for a few seconds. "What did he say!?" He asked suddenly.
"An Army of dead are coming for you Jack, The Trident of Poseidon is your only hope! Do we have an accord?" Henry asked.
Jack nodded putting his pants back on finally.

After Murton and Murtogg had told him about his ships, three of which had sunk he hadn't believed it. His quiet night with his favorite music and Turkish delight ruined. He immediately had the ship make for a certain shore. He stormed through Port Royal his cane helping him walk as fast as he could. Salazar had somehow returned. Whatever curse was in that Triangle turned out to be, what had kept him alive.
And he was now going to die. Or worse lose his business. He went up to the hidden building there a Guard Surprised to see him. "I'll be having some time with your witch!" Barbosa said plopping a small bag of Gold in his hands. The Guard nodded unlocking the door for him.
He entered the dimly lit room that was a bit cavernous with candles strewn about with a woman nearby Shanza. "I've been expecting you, Captain Barbosa," she said placing some unsightly slime into a cup. "Would you like some tea?"
"I shall pass thank ye kindly." He said pushing down the urge to gag as she drunk it. "She was scantily clothed with runes tattooed all over her body with jewels covering all over her torso her curves accentuated nicely. "The Price of crossing me is blood captain." She warned reminding him she wasn't just some pretty Vixen. Barbosa looked around.
"I can see that's why ye ain't so busy." He joked nervously noting several skeletons nearby.
"Everyone pays eventually." She warned ominously.
Barbosa marched forward. "Shanza you and I have a bond. I saved you from the Gallows Remember!?" he growled.
"And I cursed your enemies! And now you come to me in fear!" She growled the third eye run completely visible to him now, "As the dead now rule the sea!"
"But what do they want with me!?" Barbosa asked nervously.
"Not you," she scoffed with a wicked smile. "They're searching for a Sparrow."
"Jack?!" Barbosa said in surprise. He should've known honestly.
"Jack will sail for the Trident, with a Girl, a Pearl and a Key born of two worlds." She said looking at a rat she had snatched off her table.
"The Trident can never be found!" Barbosa stated.
Shanza threw the rat into her potion revealing more Pirate ships burned and slaughtered. "The Trident is Jack's only hope. The Dead now rule the sea, unable to step on Dry land. Maybe you should retire to the Country side?" she suggested.
Barbosa was flabbergasted anger welling up inside him. "On grass? On a farm!? Milking a cow ta make cheese, while they sink me treasure?!" he spat indignantly.
"Ask yourself this captain, is this a treasure worth dying for?" she asked.
"I'm a Pirate till the end." He replied simply, "so how do I save what be mine?" She lifted up a familiar compass.
"How did you get this?!" he asked in surprise.
"I have my ways." She replied. "The Compass will lead you to your heart's desire, but betray the compass and it will unleash your greatest fear."
"And a Pirate's greatest fear is Salazar eh?" Barbosa asked.
"Lead them to Jack before he gets the Trident. And all your treasure will come back to you." She said smiling.
Barbosa snatched the compass, "time to make a deal with the dead." He said marching off.

Unfortunately they had to escape, because Jack took too long blabbing. But they had a plan. Right now, Kiro was with Jack's crew, who Henry had given about fifteen silver pieces to help. Once they had fired the canon they would run in and attack the soldiers, his newly regained spells were going to come in handy.
He could hear the people gathered in the square and cheering. It made him sick to his stomach. The whole thing was savage as they booed, cheered and shouted insults at people, like they deserved to die. Then he saw the Guillotine and gulped in fear. He could see Jack shouting something being moved towards it and Carina being placed in a noose.
Henry had made it to the bell tower, and waiting for his moment. He was surprised by Carina screaming at them to be quiet. "The Final Words of Carina Smyth: Good sirs, I am not a Witch. I forgive your dimwittedness and feeble brains. In short, most of you have the mind of a goat."
Kiro giggled at this. However Jack spoke up. "Pardon me sir? Isn't it common for those about to be killed, to get one last, I don't know, something or other?"
"I believe I was making a point, if you could just be patient?" Carina snapped.
"No! My heads about to be lopped off hence the urgency!" Jack snapped back.
"And my Neck is to be broken!" she growled.
"Do you know that on occasion, the neck doesn't actually break? It's just hurts?" He asked.
"What?" Carina asked surprised.
"Oh yes! I've seen men swing for hours, eyes bulging, tongues swelling-"
"May I finish?!" Carina barked angrily.
"NO! You're lucky, wish I was hung!" Jack snapped.
"Kill the filthy Pirate. I'll wait." She growled.
Jack's eyes widened."But Witches first!"
"I'm not a Witch! Were you not listening?!" Carina growled as Kiro saw Henry swing out of the tower he grunted to the others to get ready.
"Hard to listen when you have the mind of a Goat!" Jack defended calling himself stupid in a vapid attempted to buy himself more time.
"Enough! Kill them both!" shouted the head Guard.
Suddenly Henry swung down screaming, landing in the crowd landing a punch on the nearby guard. But he was quickly subdued. "Get another noose," Said the captain coming over to Henry to smirk at him.
"Sorry sir, I'm just the diversion." Henry replied with a smirk of his own. Suddenly people screamed as a roar was let out. Nanaki suddenly jumped on the back of one of the guards; scaring him as he ripped up part of his jacket as everyone screamed and scattered.
"Fire!" Zidane shouted, instantly Gibbs and the rest of the crew fired their only canon at the Guillotine. The masked man let go of the lever, going to run. Causing the blade to drop. Jack screamed but the cannonball had broken the structure, causing him to swing, with the blade going up and down, every time. getting close to his neck.
"Still rather be stoned!" Jack cried in horror as he screamed. Kiro ran over to a nearby set of cages with other women, who were accused of being witches. He unlocked their cages and undid the bags, pet black cats had been tied in. That were passed out in the confusion. Some guards saw this and ran towards him as Amei froze the ground causing guards to slip.
Kiro then cast Sleep on the crowd multiple times, until it turned to sleepra. Then cast stop on guards who had managed to get over the ice. "All of you get out of here now!" Kiro shouted, "Find a ship, and get off the island!" Several of the women thanked him as they ran.
Henry was punching several guards, joined by Ragetti and Pintel, as Eraqus knocked several away. Kiro ended up zapping more that were coming. then soaking their gun powder with Water, rendering their muskets useless. Unlike the canon which Gibbs used to get several more shots; sending one man flying as he broke the stands.
Marty despite his size was holding his own against several more soldiers. One of the Pirates had tried to knock off Carina's executioner, but failed Carina rolled her eyes and kicked him off the edge with a good calculation of the angle. "Thank you!" the Crewman said.
One of Jack's crew had been grabbed but another came to his rescue. Henry caused one to trip running to where Carina was, as the Pirate fought off another guard. Managing to avoid tripping the lever, Carina thanked him but when he bowed that was how lever got tripped though. Fortunately Henry caught her before the noose could tighten.
Jack however was sent flipping again by a nearby cart that stormed through. He swung so much fast this time, that he went flying, still attached to the plank and landed on his feet. As he waddled away the blade suddenly dropped in front of him he yelped. Still waddling he was attacked by a guard, but saved by Gibbs.
"I'd knew you'd come crawling back traitor!" Jack growled hiding his gratitude.
"The Turner boy paid us ten silver pieces to save your neck!" he shouted as the guard came back up they yelped the sword getting stuck in the plank almost piercing Jack.
"Then I shall bestow upon you the honor of saving me, for a small donation!" Jack called as Gibbs fought off the guard.
"You expect us to pay to save you?!" Gibbs shouted incredulously as Jack dodged another guard.
"Yes, for ten pieces!" Jack called. As he ran and flipped over free finally and crawling up as Gibbs shouted back.
"Ridiculous we won't pay more than five!" he shouted.
"Eight it is than!" Jack said much to Gibbs annoyance, meanwhile the Admiral from before saw Henry and Carina with a wicked smirk.
"Well, well, well, I kill the coward the Witch hangs." He sneered.
"Please don't let me go!" Carina cried after not liking where Henry's hands ended up.
"Kind of hard too, if he kills me!" Henry argued however the Admiral, slumped over suddenly, then started snoring his butt up in the air. Then another magic arrow shot from Kiro snapped the rope clean in two. Allowing Henry to put Carina down and untie her.
"We've gotta go now!" he shouted. And with that everyone including the Pirates ran off as fast as they could to their hide out: A Small beach through a hidden tunnel surrounded by mountains. With the sea as the only escape aside from the tunnel.
"Welcome lads and lasses, to the headquarters of the great Captain Jack Sparrow!" he declared. "Soon we shall make for sail as me new ship is now complete.
"That thing?" Kiro said prickling his nose up at the Dying Gull. "That thing won't get five miles off shore before sinking."
"I believe a pirate knows more about ships than a Crotch Goblin, terrible fate for Sora really." Jack said flatly slightly bemoaning the fact that one of his best crew mates had settled down.
"This Crotch Goblin knows that a ship has to support weight at least!" Kiro growled insulted.
"What about your father's ship Kiro, the Leviathan?" Henry asked.
"Oh yeah," Kiro said dousing his anger for a bit, "I'll give it a shot. But I can't guarantee anything." Kiro said walking off towards the beach ways away. worse comes to worse they could steal a ship Kiro supposed. But the whole island was searching for him now. His head was spinning he was amazed he had hidden it from everyone. He took a breath he needed to calm down the only way he knew how. Running off further down the beach, he stood for a minute focusing on the smell and sound of the beach making him think of home of a time when he was really happy, and took a breath.
"One day you will realize, the stars you were chasing shine bright, deep inside you. But will you ever let it shine from within and cast all of your fears aside-"
"Kiro?" Amei asked making him yelp and stop singing as he turned and took a breath. "You okay?"
"Yeah, just relaxing myself; I need to not be anxious for this to work. Worse case we'll have to use the Dingy as a backup." Kiro said shivering.
"What were you singing just now?" Amei asked.
"A Lullaby my mom used to sing to me when I was little….I feel like I'm wasting time. And yet I couldn't help myself wanting to help Henry." Kiro replied. "Am I just slowing us down, technically he has everything he needs."
"We'd have to look around here, anyway wouldn't we?" Amei pointed out.
"I guess….we kind of just crashed into the sword last time so…." Kiro sighed as summoned his Keyblade. He focused on the Ship. Amei gasped as he saw bubbling from nearby glowing in sync with his Keyblade. "Come to me…."
Suddenly he fell back as a loud roar he looked up and saw the beautiful brown and Chrome lined ship with Crimson sails and canons. It stood proudly in the sunlight. Take that Jack. Carina and the others had followed. She gasped in shock as Eraqus and Zidane cheered.
"Way to go Kiro!" Zidane cheered as Kiro blushed, Eraqus smiling at him patting his shoulder as they climbed on. The Wind at their call immediately they began steering the ship.
"How?" Carina asked.
"Magic," Henry replied as he and her climbed.
"But magic isn't supported by science! This ship is scientifically impossible!" Carina said as Henry helped her aboard.
"Not everything is," Kiro replied as Henry rushed to the wheel to steer the ship Carina following a bit nervously to help navigation. Unbeknownst to them Jack was climbing up the side having raced and managed to grab on to some nearby rope his nose made him turn his head. Ragetti and Pintel were there as well.
"Oi stowaway on your own ship," he barked.
"What other ship?!" Pintel growled.
Jack looked around this was the only ship and land was sinking away fast. "Fine I shall allow you to join me for a small donation."
"You want us to pay you to be part of your crew?!" Pintel asked incredulously, "when we're already part of it?!"
"Yes," Jack said simply. They glared at him when they suddenly heard a small bark. They looked up to see a strange Ferret Fox thing staring down at them. It let out a loud snake like hiss making everyone scream in surprise. She kept repeating it. Kiro suddenly looked over and groaned helping them up.
"Thank you kindly lad," Jack smiled, the boy however glared back unimpressed. Kiro wasn't having it.
"Don't mention it, seriously don't" Kiro sighed, he was stuck with them. Jade however kept hissing at Jack following him around as he backed up.
"I'd, stop making eye contact if I were you." Nanaki said watching.
Kiro managed to pick up Jade and calmed her. "What is that?" Carina asked.
"A Carbuncle, they're said to be living stars…" Henry said in awe. "I can't believe you found one Kiro." He said astonished.
"They're worse than Monkeys." Jack said before composing himself. "Anyway I couldn't help but notice that you lot are lacking a captain."
"Oh we've got one of those." Kiro replied as Jade rested on his shoulder glaring at Jack. He pointed to the upper deck. Zidane was standing proudly grinning. Jack just scowled that wasn't fair.

"Ship dead ahead!" Murtogg called Barbosa could feel his blood turned to ice as he saw the cursed ship off in the distance. "Sir we would never question your reason as captain," Murton said. "But we were wondering is there a reason you've chosen to sail in this unreasonable direction?" He asked fearfully.
Barbosa didn't say anything he stood up. "Tell the men to prepare to be boarded stand their ground show no fear!"
Barbossa watched as the ship reared back plying itself open: Like some unholy demon threatening to swallow his ship whole. A couple of undead pirates screamed unearthly screeches the men stumbled a bit some reached for their swords but as ordered they stood their ground even Murtogg and Murton. The Ship began to rise over his own.
"Captain Salazar!" he called swallowing his fear. "I hear you been looking for Jack Sparrow!"
That didn't Salazar's ship began to shrink back suddenly dropping down were men no corpses made of ash some weren't even whole. One of his men even tried to shoot one stupidly killing one of his own. The Lieutenant called for them to hold point and await orders. Murton had been grabbed while Murtogg curiously waved his hand to see of something holding his even there. Then right in his ear, came a thud. He turned to see a man monochrome in color. With pale white skin like chalk blackened blood in his teeth a Spanish Admiral outfit the bright Reds and golds now blacks and whites. His hair and shoulder tassels waved eerily in the air black like ash. Barbosa slowly turned trying to be as stone faced as possible.
"My Name is Captain Barbosa. I stand before you with Cordial intent." He said.
"Cordial intent," Salazar smirked he turned to his crew. "Do you hear that? This Pirate wishes to be cordial." He said a few of his crew chuckling. "So let me show you what my cordiality is hombre…Every time I tap my sword one of your men will die, so I suggest you speak quickly." He said tapping his sword and then one of them was fatally stabbed. "Best speak faster captain." He said tapping it three more times, three more corpses on the floor.
"Where is Jack Sparrow!" He barked.
"Jack Sparrow is sailing for the Sea." Barbosa quickly replied.
"No the Sea belongs to the Dead." Salazar replied.
"The Trident controls the sea!" Barbosa argued.
"No! No! No!" Salazar shouted. "There is no treasure that can save him!" Salazar shouted angrily drawing his sword, "he shall die! As shall you."
"I'm the only one that can lead you to him!" Barbosa shouted getting Salazar to stop mid rage. "I declare you shall have Jack's life, on the sun rise of the morrow or you can take me life do we have an accord?" he asked.
"Lead me to him, and you shall live to tell the tale." Salazar replied.
"I thank ye kindly on behalf of me crew." Barbosa replied. Salazar smiled.
"Hey you can take what's left of them." He smirked tapping his sword quickly ten to fifteen more times. "The Living come aboard he jeered laughing maniacally.
