Chapter Four - At World's End Part Two
"Jack Sparrow, you have sailed the sea for years. You are a true pirate at heart and, to save the life of William Turner, helped him with his dying breath to take Davy Jones's place as Captain of the Flying Dutchman. Your true love is not women, drink, or gold - although those are quite close to your heart - tis is the sea. So I would like to grant you with a gift."
"Oh?" Jack asked, looking smugly at Hector out of the corner of his eye. The crew of the Pearl watched with baited breath, impatient to hear what the princess of the sea was giving to the captain.
"I would like to grant you with immortality and the power to control the sea, as well as specifically as king of the sea."
Everyone gasped.
Jack gaped at his friend. The year that he was in Davy Jones's locker, they had become friends. Yet, he never expected her to off her him this. He began to think though, knowing that this was the best thing that could ever happen to him.
But…
"I am still young, Percy. Still have adventuring in me soul, treasure that's yet to be found. Give me twenty years of sailing as a mortal man, and then me shall gladly accept ye gift."
Percy grinned at the pirate captain.
"I knew you would say something like that, Captain Jack Sparrow. And I will stand before you then as I do now, and offer my gift again. Hopefully by then, you will be ready. This is goodbye, my friend, for now." Percy drew the pirate into a hug who awkwardly returned it. "Mr Gibbs!" Percy snapped out after she pulled away, causing the pirate to jump at the suddness.
"Yes, Lady?"
"Those charts you acquired from Sao Fang, may I see them for a moment?"
"Of course, right away." Mr Gibbs hurried away to grab them from where they had been stashed.
He hurried back and handed them to the mystical woman in front of him.
"Thank you, Mr Gibbs." Percy turned to Jack and thrust the charts into Jack's chest. "There are several hidden maps that lead to rare treasures, besides the way to Davy Jones's locker. Maybe you'll get lucky and will be able to find them all."
Jack met her eyes, sea-green clashing with dark brown. Percy smiled at the pirate once more before disappearing in a soft white light and a strong breeze.
Jack after staring at the spot his friend had stood in, pulled out his compass.
"Mr Gibbs, I'm feelin' a little celebatory."
"Tortuga?"
"Tortuga."

Jack looked through his spyglass at Henry and Sarah embracing one another, and then at the reunited couple Will and Elizabeth.
"Egh, gross." Jack turned around to face his crew only to see them all facing the woman whom had appeared in their midst.
Even after not seeing her for almost twenty years, Jack still knew her.
"Percy."
"Hello, Jack. Did you miss me?"
Jack accepted her hug, knowing that he had in fact missed her.
"More then you can imagine."
Percy smiled at him.
"So, since William Turner is no longer Captain of the Flying Dutchman and since there is no Calypso - whom was goddess of the sea - any longer… Are you ready to become what the sea needs? To do what the Dutchman was created to do but without the curse that Calypso put on it. Are you ready to become the Immortal King of the Sea, Captain Jack Sparrow?"
Silence.
Jack opened his mouth.
"I-"
