Back on board the Dutchman, Elizabeth is relaying Sao Feng's story of the British Armada to Jack, Will and the rest of the crew. Gibbs is at the wheel, as the others stand about nervously. Jack is leaning silently against the rail gazing out to sea. He seems to be savouring the wind on his face - he hasn't felt it for a while. Gibbs asks Elizabeth if this is Norrington's doing, to which she solemnly nods. Will is uncertain - only pirates possess the maps into the Uncharted Waters, how would Norrington have any idea how to reach it. Gibbs says that Sao Feng was the keeper of the maps back in a Singapore prison. Most of the crew are devastated, realising the battle coming towards her. Jack finally speaks, saying that there is only one way they can win this -pirates must unite, the Brethren must called, and the Pieces of Eight brought together. Will asks what the Pieces of Eight are - Gibbs explains they are eight gold coins taken by the first eight ever pirates from the first treasure ever found. These are the forefathers of the age of piracy and their legacy passed down in the shape of the same gold coins. It was said that the Pieces of Eight had magical power when brought together - giving the pirates what they desired most - the power of the sea. Jack explains that those in possession of the coins over the years have generally been considered and treated as royalty. Will asks if Jack or Gibbs know who has the Pieces now. Jack says, he knew one person "but unfortunately, I killed him". Both Will and Elizabeth murmur under their breath "Barbossa". Will stresses that with Tia Dalma dead, they have no way of resurrecting the villainous pirate. Jack says that there is a way - there exists a set of maps, leading to Davy Jones' locker, where those stuck in Purgatory may be freed in exchange for another soul. "Where?" asks Will. "Singapore", says Jack, "the Orient. Mr Feng had a few things in his possession that he didn't want us to know about". He nods to Mr. Gibbs, who whispers the word "Singapore" to the Dutchman and the vessel begins to shake. Jack stalks from the deck, catching Elizabeth's eye on the way out. They both look away nervously. Will sees this - under the table his hand tightens like a vice on the hilt of his sword. The Dutchman pitches and crashes down beneath the waves in pursuit of Singapore.
Next we visit an unknown port shrouded in darkness and mist. Dark figures slowly amble back and forth across the docks, as a single, gargantuan ship begins to creep away into the night. There is a single figure standing on deck, but they are impossible to make out thanks to the shadows. There is something in their hand, something glimmering, and something golden. As the ship pulls out into the ocean, the name glides across our visibility: "The First".
Lieutenant's Grove and Gillette are aboard the 'St.George in the main cabin, arguing over a set of maps spread out over the table. It shows the Uncharted Waters. Suddenly, the two men snap to attention nervously as Norrington strides in, still looking rugged and scruffy compared to the other officers, with no attempt made to trim his beard. He reclines in the room's only chair and asks his deputies what news is abroad. They give news of Sao Feng's death and the destruction of his ship. Norrington does not seem too concerned, saying that there will be plenty of time to 'rescue' Elizabeth from that savage William Turner. Grove points out that it is impossible to tell how many pirates will be in the Uncharted Waters. "Not as many as us," Norrington replies, and reveals the allegiance he has formed with the Dutch East India Trading Company. "Or rather, my 'associates' formed this allegiance". From behind Norrington, two of the Barnacled crew of the Dutchman enter, Vocah and Lerraq, they announce that the fleet is ready. Norrington smiles, but Groves and Gillette cower in the corner.
Next comes the most impressive and awe-inspiring sight any human eye is likely to see: the vast, vast fleet of British ships begins to move away slowly from the harbour. First there are a dozen, then two dozen, then fifty, then a hundred and many more. The sea comes alive with these vessels, the sun beating down on them from above. Remember, the Dutch are yet to join with them yet. The fleet advances out to sea with the water constantly churning all around them - the Kraken.
