Right where we left off our favorite Pirate Crew + one Jack Sparrow in chapter 15 if you'd like to recap,
Luffy: "Jack, I don't understand, why would you be 'fucked'? Isn't that your ship? Aren't you saved?"
Jack: "Now you see, that is a valid point, and I completely understand why you would think such a thing as that and I commend you indeed for coming up with that assumption all on your lonesome mate," The whole time he is babbling he is make-shifting a raft out of lawn chairs, a table and some rope. "But you see... Me and me crew have had... well... a sort of misunderstanding..."
Zoro: "What kind of misunderstanding?"
*CRASH!*
The Black Pearl had caught up and with the Thousand Sunny as Jack told his 'story' to the crew and had latched onto it and was about to board.
Jack: "Damn it..."
"Oh Jaaaaaaaaaaaaack..."
Jack: "... Oh bugga..."
It was Barbosa, once again the proud owner of the Black Pearl. "Once again ye be having something of mine Jack..."
Jack: "No I don't."
Barbosa: "... Yes... YOU DO."
Jack: "Do not." Jack looked appalled Barbosa would even say such a thing.
Barbosa: "Do too."
Jack: "Do not."
Barbosa: "Ya do too!"
Jack: "I do not."
Barbosa: "YOU DO TOO AND DON'T LIE TO ME JACK!"
Silence.
"YOHOHOHOHOHO! I HAVE FINISHED CLEANING THE BOTTOM QURADOORS MY FRIENDS!" Brook burst out from the door leading below.
Everyone looked at him...
Awkward Silence...
Jack: "Oh god... they've already infiltrated the bottom of the ship..." Jack drew his sword at Brook, "BACK DEAMON! BACK! YOU SHALL NOT HARM MY NEW FRIENDS!" Jack was really putting on this fake bravery to put everyone's guard down for him to escape.
Nami: "Jack wait! Brooks a friend!"
Luffy: "Yeah!"
Jack looked confused, and then awkwardly at Brook, "Might wanna get that Aztec Gold problem cleared up soon mate..."
Luffy: "GOLD? BROOK! Have you been holding out on us!"
Brook: "NOHOHOHOHO! I don't know what this man means."
As they argued about who had gold or now, Jack tried to slip away... but of course ran into Barbosa who got on the Thousand Sunny.
"Jaaaaaaaack... Where be the map Jack..."
Jack: "What?... Map... I have NO idea what you're talking about... might wanna get that brain checked out my friend..." Jack went another way... cut off again by some of Barbosa's men.
Barbosa: "The map that will take us to the FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH Jack... I know you took the core of the map with ye last we met in Tortuga"
Jack: "You mean where you marooned me... AGAIN... and took my ship."
Barbosa: "MY ship, and it can't be marooning if you were at a port town with food and women and a bed."
Jack: "Oh can't it can it?"
Barbosa: "... NO, it can't."
Jack: "Really?"
Barbosa: "Yes."
Jack: "Oh... well... It was still unpleasant so there!"
Barbosa: "Give me the map Jack."
Jack: "I don't have it... anymore..."
Barbosa: "Oh... that be so?... And where pray-tale is it Jack..." Barbosa drew his sword to Jack's throat.
Jack: "Will... Will's got it." Jack gave a big toothy grin.
Barbosa: "The new Davy Jones eh?... And how do I know it to be true?"
Jack: "Well... I ran into him out here and when I told him my plans he just laughed... fake laughing I might add, and took the map from the and kicked me off his ship. But old Will's not all that much of a scallywag, he gave me a chunk of wood to float on for dear life, and there it is." Jack pointed at the piece of wood he was floating on.
Barbosa took a close look and noticed it was indeed, a piece of the Flying Dutchman.
Barbosa: "DAMN! The boy DOES have it! Let's go!... We're gonna go visit a dear friend of mine boys!" Barbosa's men whooped and hollered as they jumped back on the Black Pearl and sailed off.
Jack took a deep sigh of RELIEF.
Chopper: "Why did they leave?"
Jack: "AAAAGGHH!... *pant* *pant* DON'T do that... weird... animal.. thing..."
Chopper didn't understand and looked confused.
Luffy: "What happened?"
Jack: "Don't worry friends! We, are safe. I CAPTAIN JACK SPEROW!... Have saved you!"
Sanji: "How did you do that?"
Jack: "Easy, I told them someone else had the map that I... STILL have!" Jack pulled the map out of his pants.
Nami: "Ugh... Where was he hiding that thing?" Robin just amusingly shook her head.
Luffy: "Who did you say had it?"
Jack: "Oh, nobody really, just someone I know, but he can take care of himself."
Luffy: "Jack... that's not right, you don't sell out your friends."
Jack looked at them all, "... Well... that's great... I guess we're not friends then, to-tool-lu."
The whole crew stopped him, "Jack!"
Nami: "You NEVER abandon Nakama!"
Jack: "Knock on my wha?"
Franky: "You can't leave your friends and comrades high and dry!"
Sanji: "Let's go make sure your friend who you sold out is going to be ok."
Luffy: "ALRIGHT! Let's go save Jack's Nakama!"
Jack: "... Shit... I guess I picked the rotten lot... stupid friendship, all it's ever done is get me killed...
