The three of them sail into the cave.
Will sees a skull and gets nervous. "What Code is Gibbs to keep to if the worst should happen?"
"Pirate's Code. Any man that falls behind…is left behind" Jack said rowing his boat.
"What exactly is your plan?" Will asked.
Disregarding what Will was asking of him, he continues talking. "You know, for having such a bleak outlook on pirates you're well on your way to becoming one. Sprung a man from jail, commandeered a ship of the Fleet, sailed with a buccaneer crew out of Tortuga" They both look at the gold on the bottom of the little river. "…and you're completely obsessed with treasure" He said looking over at Joanna, knowing that he did not care much about the treasure himself.
Will was mad at all these accusations. "That's not true! I am not obsessed with treasure"
They pull the boat up into shore and look through a hole in the rock.
Joanna comes in behind Jack, seeing Elizabeth, but her attention was moved on to her father. "Not all treasure is silver and gold" She said.
Barbossa was beginning the ritual. "Gentlemen, the time has come! Our salvation is nigh! Our torment is near at end"
Will got way to impatient. "Elizabeth"
Joanna could see the hurt in her fathers eyes, with every word that came out of his mouth, it stung knowing that she was gone for 15 years. "Punished, we were. The lot of us, disproportionate to our crimes! Here it is" Barbossa throws off the chest's lid. "…the cursed treasure of Cortés himself. Every last piece that went astray, we have returned…save for this" He points to the medallion on Elizabeth's neck.
Will scrambles up ready to kill the pirate that threats Elizabeth, upsetting some of the treasure. "Jack!"
Jack and Joanna pull him down, disturbing more of the treasure. "Not yet. We wait for the opportune moment" Joanna tried to calm him down, but it wasn't working.
Barbossa continues his speak not hearing the noise coming from them. "881 we found, but despaired of ever finding the last"
"When's that? When it's of greatest profit to you?"
"Will!" Joanna was shocked at how he was behaving, they are doing nothing but trying to help.
Jack, not having none of what Will saying. "May I ask you something? Have I ever given you reason not to trust me? Do us a favor, I know it's difficult for you, but please stay here and try not to do anything stupid, Chris come with me!" Jack said taking off.
Of course being Will, did not listen to Jack at all and hits Jack with oar "Sorry, Jack . I'm not going to be your leverage."
"How could you!"
"You make your own choices now Joanna, but I'm saving Elizabeth with or without you" Will walks away from her, as she tries to wake him up.
She hears a gun shoot and looks up to see what happened, Barbossa had shot one of his own men.
This isn't good. She panicked.
"The curse it still upon us!" One shouted.
Barbossa was furious. "You, maid! Your father, what was his name? Was your father William Turner?"
Elizabeth thinking she was rather cunning. "No"
"Where's his child? The child that sailed from England eight years ago, the child in whose veins flows the blood of William Turner. Where?" Barbossa backhands her and she falls down the hill of treasure.
Joanna being as brave as she could stood up and was ready to face her father. "I know who" She spoke up.
"Who are you?" Barbossa asked.
"My name is Joanna Chris Harvey" She paused for a second waiting to see any reacting from her father but he wasn't phased. "Barbossa" She finished.
"Aye, that be so?" Barbossa was conflicted, he either wanted to hug her or kill her.
"I escaped mother, in hopes to find you" She responded.
The crew was staring at them both in confusion.
"Just kill her!" Koehler shouted, pulling out his gun, ready to kill her.
Something clicks inside Barbossa. "Your shoot her, It'll be your last move"
"You care for her?" Twigg asked him.
"You dare kill my flesh and blood?" Barbossa said swinging his sword around.
The crew was getting angry at him. "You brought us here for nothing" Twigg yelled.
Barbossa moved closer to Joanna, in order to protect her. "I won't take questioning and no second guesses, not from the likes of you, Master Twigg" He said pointing his sword to them.
"Who's to blame? Every decision you've made has led us from bad to worse" Koehler replied glaring at Barbossa.
One pirate replied. "It was you who sent Bootstrap to the depths!"
Barbossa finally reached Joanna standing beside her. "If any coward here dare challenge me or my daughter, let him speak! Aye the curse hasn't been lifted, but she does" He said grabbing her arm.
Barbossa sees the monkey pointing over to where Elizabeth was suppose to be laying. "The medallion! She's taken it! Get after her! You feckless pack of ingrates!"
The crew scrambles around looking for the young woman that has escaped, while Barbossa stayed behind with Joanna.
Ragetti spots Jack. "You!"
Pintel was surprised as any one else. "You're supposed to be dead!"
Jack, still dazed from Will smacking him in the face. "Am I not?" He looks down at himself, he glances back up to find pistols pointed at him. "Palulay…palu-li-la-la-lulu, parlili… parsnip, pasley, par... partner, partner…"
"Parley?" Ragetti asked.
Jack's eyes shine bright. "Parley! That's the one. Parley! Parley!"
"Parley? Down to the depths whatever man that thought up "parley!" Pintel points his gun farther into Jack's face.
Jack places his fingers in the gun, and pulls it down. "That would be the French"
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Barbossa walks over to Jack, not far behind him was Joanna. "How the blazes did you get off that island?"
Jack was glad he had asked that. "When you marooned me on that godforsaken spit of land, you forgot one very important thing, mate. I'm Captain Jack Sparrow" Jack smiled.
Barbossa looked behind him at his daughter, who was looking rather upset to see him like this. "Ah, well, I won't be making that mistake again. Gents, you all remember Captain Jack Sparrow? Kill him."
The pirates all point their weapons at Jack.
Joanna panicked. "Belay that!"
Every pirate looks at Joanna. "I think the girl fancies him, what do you say boys?"
They all grumble at his question, not caring about Jack, but all the eyes were on her.
"My men seem to disapprove of this pairing, me say she needs another one? Take her!" Barbossa said.
Barbossa's crew leave Jack alone and all head straight for Joanna, with ravenous eyes, all pawing and pulls on her clothes.
Jack didn't know what to do, the woman he loved was being groped and touched in ways he didn't even get to experience yet. "The girl's blood didn't work, did it?"
"Men!"
The pirates reluctantly stop there attack against her.
"You know whose blood we need? The girl would not tell me who it was"
Oh aye, I know whose blood ye need" He smiles finally having the upper hand.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Sometime later in the Captains cabin of the Black Pearl, Jack, Joanna and Barbossa were all arguing with each other.
"So you expect to leave me standing on some beach with nothing but a name and your word it's the one I need and watch you sail away in my ship?"
Jack laughed. "No. I expect to leave you standing on some beach with absolutely no name at all, watching me sail away on my ship, as it was named after your daughter and then I'll shout the name back to you. Savvy?"
Barbossa: But that still leaves us with the problem of me standing on some beach with naught but a name and your word it's the one I need, I could just torture it out of my dear, sweet daughter of mine"
"Of the three of us, we are the only ones who haven't committed mutiny, therefore.. our word is the one we'll be trusting. Although…I suppose I should be thanking you because, in fact, if you hadn't betrayed me and left me to die, you would of never been reunited with Chris, and I would have an equal share in the treasure, same as you" Jack bites into an apple. "Funny ol' world, innit?" Jack offers him an apple.
"If you would be so kind as to leave, I would much like to talk with me daughter, alone" Barbossa demanded.
Jack gets up from his chair and walks up to Barbossa with a warning. "You hurt her, I will kill you" He looks up at Joanna as he said this, he walks out of the room leaving the two of them alone.
"Joanna, how are ye?" Barbossa asked.
"Of all the things you could of asked, how are you is what came to mind?"
"Aye, You were me life, when the bitch toke you, I murdered a hundred men that night and to see you again... you look so much like your mother Chris"
"That is not a compliment, I'd much rather look like you, I hated mother for taking me away from you and Jack"
"Jack... that man is no good for you"
"15 years you've been gone, there's not much you can tell me I can't do"
"Oh aye, I can not, but he has done things a lady would not wish to know, from what I've heard you've been living quite the high life"
"I never forgot you or my life before that"
"I'm gl..." Barbossa was cut off but the Bo'sun.
Bo'sun enters the cabin. "Captain, we're coming up on the Interceptor"
Barbossa goes topside. "Joanna stay here"
Jack see's Barbossa and not Joanna come out of the cabin, he runs after Barbossa and stands in front of him at the bow, blocking the view of the Interceptor, in the telescope. "I'm having a thought here, Barbossa. What say we run up a flag of truce? I scurry over to the Interceptor, and I negotiate the return of your medallion, eh? What say you to that?"
Barbossa was handed an apple that had one bite in it. "Now you see, Jack, that's exactly the attitude that lost you the Pearl. People are easy to search when they're dead" He looks to the Bo'sun. "Lock him in the brig" Barbossa looks at the apple, sadden, he throws the apple into the sea.
Joanna hears what her father said. "You can not do that!" She demanded. "Let him free!"
"If you do not see fit to him being alone, then I guess you can join him my dear daughter"
"So be it, I won't let you harm him"
The Bo'sun opens the cell door and shoves her in their with Jack.
"Chris! What are you doing are you mad?"
"I told him I wouldn't let you be alone"
Jack wasn't thrilled with her choice but he was glad, she was with him. "Your mad"
"Oh, aye, mad as my father"
