Time for another chapter of Tale of Two Captains. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own POTC, Disney does.

(HMS Interceptor, Tortuga.)

Morgan knew of three things as a pirate… Three rules all pirates lived by.

r

Be loyal to your crew.

Have a ship.

Live by your own rules.

"When we reach Tortuga, I'm getting a ship and crew…. You owe me for the Typhoon."

Morgan said as he crossed his arms and looked at Jack.

"I will endeavor to acquire you a ship after I regain my beloved Pearl."

Jack said, Morgan crossed his arms as the trio set foot on shore and looked around.

"If I get a ship and crew when you come back and you and Turner don't, you can travel on my ship till we get the Pearl back…."

Morgan said as Jack nodded and with a bow, he and Will left, leaving Morgan on the dock.

"Great…. 2 captains without ships to call them owns… Lovely…"

Morgan said before he was cut off by a voice, a female voice.

"And what brings you back to Tortuga, Morgan?"

Morgan heard as he slowly turned.

"No, can't be…. Penny?"

Morgan asked as he turned, standing behind him was his old friend and former first mate Penny Finch.

"I thought you were hung by British soldiers after the Typhoon went down."

Morgan said as the two regarded each other, Morgan hadn't seen the fiery, sassy and sarcastic redhead since then and that had been 10 years ago.

"It will take more than the legions of soldiers from the king to kill me, Morgan…. You lost the Typhoon, haven't you?"

Penny asked, Morgan grunted and nodded.

"I defended that Battleship to the last, Ms. Finch… But against those odds, even the Typhoon couldn't withstand such an attack… So, it would seem I am in dire need of fresh crew, supplies and a ship… Need my faithful former first mate know where a man of my caliber may acquire such items?"

Morgan asked, Penny smiled one of her legendary Irish smiles, she always had been a thief and many other things.

But a friend she still was.

"I do… I have a ship…. As for supplies, I believe there's a nice British merchant ship a little off Tortuga… We can fish supplies out from there…"

Penny said as Morgan nodded, he knew the ship, the Earl King, the same merchant ship he, Jack and Will took over on their way towards Barbossa.

"This ship has a name, Ms. Finch?"

Morgan asked as Penny smiled, if he had her back at his side, then they would be unstoppable.

"The Nemesis... Small, brig…. They left it abandoned here… Never really saw a reason to finish her…. I planned on taking her to sea…. Just needed a captain… Then I hear Captain Morgan Tea-…"

Penny started to say before Morgan shushed her, there were too many people for her to talk about past.

"Get the ship and meet me on the south shore… I have to tell Jack first…"

Morgan said as he walked towards the local tavern, that was where Jack would be, he knew that.

(Faithful Bride Tavern.)

"I have a ship and crew… And an old ally, Jack, what of you?"

Morgan asked once he found the pirate, he saw a crew of pirates behind Jack and he also saw Joshamee Gibbs behind Jack.

"Gibbs, glad to see a fellow Pirate like you… Guess that means you have a crew."

Morgan said as Jack smiled, Morgan shrugged, turned and went to go await his new flagship.

(Tortuga, south beach, 5 minutes later.)

Morgan hummed and looked out at the Nemesis as the brig stopped moving in shallow water just off the coast.

The Nemesis was a beautiful ship, 40 cannons and two bow chaser, it was much larger than a regular brig, Morgan would say it was the size of a light frigate… It also looked like it had a naval ram, the Figurehead was a female warrior with sword and shield.

The red and gold helped as well.

"Captain!"

Morgan said as a man rowed a longboat to shore as Morgan climbed into it.

"Who be you, sailor?"

Morgan asked, the longboat started to row towards the Nemesis.

"My name be Gunner, captain… Ms. Finch spoke highly of you before we got the Nemesis she is a fine ship… Brig if Ms. Finch didn't say."

Morgan heard from Gunner, he nodded and continued to look over the ship.

"She looks like she's the size of a frigate and not a brig, Mr. Gunner… And she's very heavily armed for a simple brig."

Morgan observed, the longboat docked with the Nemesis and Morgan and Gunner climbed onto the ship

"Captain aboard!"

Morgan heard from his crew as he walked towards the wheel.

"Tis a fine ship, Ms. Finch…Gentlemen, our first task will be to supply this ship, there is a British Merchant ship out a way…. We go there first and then go from there."

Author Notes

Phew, another chapter done, yes, this chapter was short but I just wanted to say I'm back… As for Morgan and the Nemesis and Penny Finch? The Nemesis and Penny Finch are from an unmade game from Pirates and I wanted to use them… the Nemesis might stay Morgan's ship, let me know what you think. Next chapter will be soon. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
