Hey everybody, I have retired with a new chapter for all of you to enjoy. And if you saw my author's note in the last chapter, if you know what world the group is heading to next…well you probably already know :)
While we are on topic. I'm so happy Johnny won! Now if only they can somehow get Johnny to come back as Jack Sparrow again…but again that might be wishful thinking, so I guess we will have to wait and see what he thinks.
Now another thing I want to mention, now for this world, there were some changes in the game, and there will be some here as well. The main thing is that the whole crew will appear. Gibbs, Anamaria, you name them all.
Hopefully, this will be good, it's been a long time since I have seen the movie so please bear with me on this.
To KnightSpark: What do you mean?
To Nesthorr5000: Yep. Nope. I agree with you. I mean I sympathize with Ozpin, but some of his choices have had serious consequences.
To the mysterious Mr.E: Thanks.
To Jacob9594: Yes they do...
To RonaldM40196867: Yeppers. That's one of the things you gotta love about Nora. Yep. It is. Nope, and I already said that Atlantica will not appear. Probably not...What do you mean lesson?
To Robbeeyy: I'm glad he won! Maybe they are, you never know. Maybe she will, maybe she won't. I hope Carrot does join,
To Gamelover41592: Thanks.
Anyway, let's get right into it!

World That Never Was
This was…well…tense. After the organization took Nora and Blake, Ren has been….not so good. For the past hour now all he has been doing is pacing back and forth, hoping that Nora will eventually come back. He didn't know what those guys in black were doing to her, but he was worried that it was nothing good at all.
"R-Ren," Weiss said to him, trying to talk to him. "Maybe she-"
"Don't start!" He exclaimed with anger, making Wiss jump back a bit for his outburst. "If those bastards did anything to Nora.." He said with much anger in his voice.
"Ninja boy," Qrow said as he was sitting with Yang as the blond brawler rested a bit. "You need to calm down, after traveling with you kids, that hammer girl can dish out a few swings." He said.
Ren then glared at him. "That was when we were taking down Grimm! We barely died dealing with the one that killed my home, we beat Cinder by sheer luck. These guys….these men are something else, we did all we could against them and we all lost! What do they even want with us!" It was a bit unnerving to see the normally calm, stoic Ren act like this.
"I…I don't know." Oscar said as he still sat by himself. Weiss could tell that Oscar was worried about something and she went over to sit with him.
"Hey…" Weiss said, they only just met after saving Haven, so this was the first time that they were talking, and it was a bit awkward. "So…how are you?" She asked him.
Oscar looked at her and while he was a bit awkward due to it being the first time she was talking to him, he sighed. "I don't know…I mean….this is all just….too much to handle." He said as he rubbed his face, sweat coming off of it. "I mean, these men are taking us all away for no reason, and I don't think it's any good either."
Weiss shared his statement. Just what were these men and what did they want from them all? "I know…and we still don't know if Ruby, Jaune, and Sun are ok…" She was seriously worried about Ruby, those men took away their scrolls so there was no way to get into contact with her or the others….all she could do is hope that Ruby was safe. "Do you think Ruby and the others are ok?" She asked him.
"From what I've seen at Haven, it seems like Ruby and Jaune can handle anything, and from what Blake told me about Sun, he can kick some butt as well." Weiss had to smile a bit at that though.
"Yea…they can." She said to him,
Meanwhile, Yang was sleeping a bit, and as she was she started to squirm a bit, sweat appearing on her head. Qrow was monitoring her and he was shown to be a bit worried.
"Firecracker, are you alright?" He asked her with worry in his voice. Yang didn't answer, but she still squirmed a bit as a voice was in her head.
"Abandoned," It said. "You got attacked by her ex…and she abandoned you…without a second thought." It said again, and it made Yang squirm a bit. "No worse than your mother…
"GGAAHHH!" Yang instantly shot up, breathing heavily and sweat going down her head and face.
"Yang!" Qrow and Weiss exclaimed at the same time as they both went over and checked up on her. "Yang, are you alright?" Weiss asked as she placed a comforting hand on the brawler's shoulder.
"Firecracker?" Qrow asked. Yang was a bit out of it though, her panting was fast and heavy a bit as sweat continued to go down her head. "Yang, speak to me!" the older man said to her with worry in his voice.
Yang then took a few more deep breaths before turning to Qrow and Weiss, looking at the cornered looks on their faces, she then took deep breaths to calm down. "I…I don't know." She said to them.
"What do you mean?" Qrow asked.
"I don't know…but those guys….I think they're doing something to me.." Yang was concerned, and then her mind went towards Blake, sure she still liked her…but something was pounding in her head, something that was telling her to distrust the cat Faunus….and much to her fear…whatever it was in her head…it was telling her to not trust her.
Oscar was looking at them all with worry on his face. But what was he to do? He was but a simple farm boy who got roped into this journey, and he didn't even ask to be captured at all.
"Did you find anything out yet?" The boy asked Ozpin.
"Sorta," Oscar's face brightened up a little bit. "Now I don't know for sure, but if they take you and me next, I will take control and get a good look at their faces. As I said, the coats are familiar to me, but I need to think about it a bit more."
Oscar sighed a bit, this was not going to be easy to do. "Ok…if you say so." He said with some uncertainty. He then took a glance at the others. "What is going to happen to us all?" He asked.
Ren was panting very hard as his grip on the bars was tight, and he was gripping them very, very hard. Luckily hsi aura prevented them from bleeding, but it still hurt. "Nora….Jaune…." He thought with desperation in his voice. "I can't lose you both…" He thought.
As soon as he said that he heard a muffled noise and everybody turned to see Oscar being manhandled by Xigbar, who was smirking at them. "Sorry to interrupt, but the boss wants to meet the kid." He said.
"GET OFF OF HIM!" Yang said as she then tried to attack, but a dark corridor opened up before them both, and Xigbar and Oscar both vanished through it, leaving the others behind and for Yang to stare at where the young farmhand was at.
"DAMMIT!" Yang screamed as she pounded her fists on the ground…what was happening to her friends? "SHAT DO YOU BASTARDS WANT FROM US? WHAT!?"
Weiss could see Yang's body giving off a black mist, and so did a few others….this was not good..not good at all.
World Lane
As the group was making their way to the next world, Jaune couldn't help but feel like something was wrong with Nora and Ren. He couldn't help it, but all he could do was hope for their safety, especially since they had no idea how to get to the organization's HQ yet.
Jaune took a deep breath to calm himself down. "Easy Jaune, we'll find them…I know we will.." He wanted to keep repeating the mantra, but deep inside his heart, it was aching with worry and fear though.
"Everybody!" Sora called out. "We are approaching the next world!" He said as they all then got a good glimpse of the world that they were approaching, it looked a bit…weird, only consisting of the ocean, and also two areas as well.
"Ok, fellers!" Dale said to them through the intercom. "The world you're all approaching next is called the Caribbean!" He said. This made the group look at eachother with confusion.
"Caribbean?" They asked in unison, what kind of world was that? But it did pique their interest, specialty if it looked like the world was full of ocean.
"Well, what do you think?" Sun asked. "Should we go there now?" He asked. Everyone looked at each other and nodded.
"If it means looking for our friends, we'll have to look in every world we come across," Sora said to him, a statement that everybody agreed with him on. "Alright then," He said as he got back into the seat and got to the corn trolls. "Caribbean, here we come!" He exclaimed. He said as the ship then flew right to the new world.
Port Royal/Fort
The group had landed on a rampart that was overlooking a vast sea. And when they did, they all then noticed something. "Guys….look at how we're dressed!" Ruby said, as everybody then got a good glimpse of themselves, and it was…pretty shocking.
Sora was dressed in a dark leather pirate coat with a dark fur lining over a red button-down shirt with gold lining as well as a brown belt around his waist that was in the middle of the shirt. He was also wearing dark brown baggy pants with black lines and black shoes, and he was wearing a dark tricorn hat on top of a dark blue bandana, the hat bearing a crown on it.
Donald was wearing a black vest with bronze buttons over a faded white long sleeve shirt while also wearing a blue bandana.
Goofy was wearing a dirty white long sleeve shirt with a brown belt over a dark orange sash wrapped around his waist, he wore brown pants that were ripped at the leg cuffs and brown shoes. He also wore a light green bandana.
Jaune's hoodie had turned into a black frock coat, while still maintaining the hood, underneath he was wearing a blue loose poofy shirt that was tucked into his pants. His breastplate armor was over the shirt but under the coat, and the red sash was still tied around his waist, his bracers and shoulder pads were also over his sleeves. His pants had turned into tight black leather pants and his boots became buckled. And he also wore a tricorn hat with his crescent moon insignia on it, also his armor lost its pure white and was now faded a bit.
Ruby was now wearing a black poofy short sleeve shirt and wore a red vest over it with two drawstrings and a Rose insignia on her left chest. But the things she kept were her cape, skirt and leggings, and boots. But she also wore a red bandana.
Sun no longer wore a shirt and he instead wore a dark faded open yellow vest over his bare chest and back, his jeans turned into shorts and now he was barefooted, and wore a yellow bandana.
Oswald was wearing a navy blue vest over his chest, which was bare, he wore a blue bandana with white polka dots.
Ortensia was wearing a brown poofy shirt with a red skirt, and she had a red bandana with a flower on it.
Stitch wore nothing but a black bandana and an eyepatch.
Max wore a white long sleeve shirt with a red vest, hsi jeans turned into tight leather pants, and he wore black buckled boots.
Everybody was looking at each other and was in shock. The outfits they wore! It was so…so….
"COOL!" Ruby said as he looked at herself. "I look so amazing!" She said as she looked at her body and sighed. "If only I could have a mirror!"
Jaune felt the jacket he was wearing and he had to admit…it felt pretty good, he then felt his neck area and felt that he still had his hood, which made him sigh with relief.
"Guys….do you realize who they were dressed as?" Goofy asked the others, some of them nodded and a few shook their heads.
"Pirates!" Sora exclaimed with a big grin on his face. "We're dressed as pirates!" Sora was excited, he grew up listening to stories about pirates, and now he was dressed as one. And it didn't take a detective to guess that this was a pirate-themed world they landed in.
"Hey…guys?" Sun asked. "Look around you." Everybody looked around and they were kinda taken aback….everything looks so….different to their eyes. "Why does everything look so….so…" Well, Sun didn't know how to describe it, none of them did in fact.
Then the group was snapped out of their thoughts by the sight of a nearby town, and from what it looked like it seemed that the entire area was under attack, from the looks of the flames and smoke going up in the air.
"Guys, let's go!" Sora said to them.
Town
Sora and the company arrived in the town to see civilians running and screaming and being attacked by Heartless, Shadows, Soldiers, and a new type of Heartless that was familiar to Sora, Donald, and Goofy.
This new type was a Heartless of short height, they wore black turtleneck shirts that were stitched into their chests, with the Heartless Emblem showing in between their bare chests. They also wore brown and tan-patched pants with matching shoes, a red sash, bright yellow wristbands on their wrists, and shoulder armor pads that were shaped to look like skulls. They also wore bright red bandanas on their heads that also covered their eyes, with eye patches with white crosses on them over the area where their right eyes would be, and singular black spirals where the left eyes would be, and also carried large swords with red handles, red cracks and dark yellow spirals that made the swords look like they had faces on them. This was the Pirate, a breed of Heartless.
The sight of the new Heartless made the ones unfamiliar with them look confused and awed at it. "Pirate Heartless?" Ruby asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Well, whatever the appearance," Ortensia said as he got her staff and made it glow. "They go down the same." She said and everyone agreed with her.
Sora looked at them and got his keyblade ready. "It's been a long time since I saw these guys." He said as he then noticed a Pirate charging right at him, but Sora luckily dodged the attack and hit it right in the face with his keyblade.
Donald noticed a group of Shadows coming right at him and he twirled his staff and smirked. "THUNDER!" He shouted as bolts of lightning came down and struck the Shadows, causing them all to disappear into nothingness.
Goofy then used his shield to block a Pirate's sword attack and hit it in the face, then he dodged a claw attack from a Soldier and jumped back and noticed a swarm of Pirates surrounding him and he smirked. "Alright Heartless, time to show you all who's boss here!" He then grabbed his shield and twisted his body a bit. "TORNADO!" He then twirled around and around and around, hsi shield hitting every single Pirate that came across to him, they couldn't even react and try to strike due to Goofy coming right at them.
Oswald then dodged a sword attack from a Pirate with his keyblade, he then sawfly used his keyblade to slide off its right arm and finally it's head. He then noticed a group of them coming at him and the tip of his keyblade had a blue mist. "Blizzard!" He then sent a few ice projectiles at the Pirates, causing them all to freeze up on the spot.
Ortenisa hoped back a bit as she had her wand with her, she stared down a group of Shadows and Pirates, who were readying their swords and had red auras to them. "Awe," She said as he then told her staff a bit. "You wouldn't hurt a cute thing such as I, would you?" She asked as her wand's end had a pink glow and the glow grew big until it turned into a big hand. "SLAP!"
With that attack, Ortensia gave a giant palming slap to the Heartless in front of her, causing them to go flying back, and die, and the cat girl smirked. "Don't mess with me." She said as she stuck her tongue out.
Stitch was firing hsi ulcers at the Heartless swarm. "Detaka, Heartless!" He exclaimed as he died more and more rounds into the Shadows' heads. He then saw a Pirate coming at him while waving its sword around. Stitch glared as the Heartless attempted to swing right Stitch's head to decapitate him, but.
CHOMP
Stitch caught the blade in his teeth, and the Heartless was trying to get the sword out, but Stitch proved to be stronger as with a mighty growl, his jaw chomped on the sword as hard as his might, breaking it to pieces with his teeth.
The Pirate saw its sword broken and looked at Stitch, and if one could look…you could see the Heartless sweating nervously.
Max used his shield to block a Pirates sword blow and he then used his sword to stab it right in the chest. He then noticed a bunch of other Heartless coming at him and he took a good look at his surroundings, there were some barrels lined up and he smirked. "Hey sword head, have some of these!" He said as he used his sword to slice the robe, making the barrels tumble over and squish the Heartless flat.
"Aww, yea! Score one for the good guys!" Max said with a smile on his face.
As they continued to fight off the Heartless, they noticed someone else fighting them as well "Get away!" The voice said, Sora turned to see that it was a male who was fighting a swarm of Heartless.
One was a man who appeared to be in his 20s, he had shoulder-length brown hair that was tied in a ponytail and had a faint mustache and goatee. He wore a white shirt with bishop sleeves and a v-neck that exposed his chest, he also wore a brown vest over the shirt, the vest sporting pockets on each side. He also wore a belt with a gold buckle on the vest below his waist. He wore dark-gray breeches with three vertical buttons on the far side of either leg, and he wore a pair of light gray knee-high socks and brown buckled shoes.
The other man looked to be in his 40s, he had tanned skin with a black mustache and beard and had dark brown hair that was in dreadlocks that were decorated with numerous beds and coins. His beard was also put in two smaller braids with each one having two small beads on the tips. He wore a red faded bandana on his head which was underneath a black tricorn hat. He wore a black coat over a faded loose white shirt a blue vest and a red sash that held his pistol. He wore another tan belt around the waist over his coat that was overtopped by a tattered, red, and white piece of cloth. He also had a cutlass cupboard tied around his waist as well, and his eyes had Kol on them, resembling eyeliner and eyeshadow
Sora's keyblade then had a fiery aura on it and he prepared to throw it. "FIRE RAID!" He said as he tossed the keyblade like a boomerang and the keyblade hit the Heartless and it caused them to disappear, saving the men's
5 minutes later…
All the Heartless were gone and Sora and the others breathed in relief. "Man, I've never seen that type before," Sun said as he t his gunchucks away, with some nods from the others
"Hey Sora, those Heartless looked like the ones from Neverland, right?" Goofy asked, and Sora nodded his head. The others were confused, but shrugged her shoulders, thinking that 'Neverland" was another world that Sora journeyed to.
"Thank you." They all turned towards the man, who came up and had a look of gratitude on his face. "I have never seen such creatures before in my life, not even my sword skills could keep them at bay."
The other man, who was walking almost as if he was drunk, looked at the group with interest. "Well mates, that was a mighty good show. You seem to be a pretty strong group of pirates eh?" He asked.
Sora and his friends looked at eachother. Well…they had the clothes, and they were in a pirate-themed world so to speak…so why not? They all nodded their heads in agreement.
The man then nodded. "Alright then, you see...I require a crew, and from what I saw you, kids seem to be the right fit." He said, and this made Sora grin a bit with a wide smile. "You boy, what's your name?"
"I'm Sora, that's Donald, Goofy, Jaune, Ruby, Sun, Oswald, Ortensia, Stitch, and Max!" He said as he introduced the rest of the team.
The man looked at them and hummed. "Well, Mr. Sora. Do you and your friends have the courage and fortitude to follow orders and stay true in the face of danger and almost certain death?" Sora and the tower looked at each other with confused looks on their faces, what? Well, there was no getting out of this anyway so they all agreed. "Right then savvy?" The man said. "Captain Jack Sparrow, if you please."
The man known as Jack Sparrow began to walk off, with the others following close behind him. "So…captain?" Jaune said, not feeling so used to calling someone captain. "What do we do?"
Jack turned. "Well, there's a ship that I'm after called the Black Pearl, stolen by a mutinous man by the name of Barbossa. But I can't do it alone, and as strong as you lot are, I will need more crew members."
"And don't forget," The other man said to him. "I got you out of jail, and you will help me get Elizabeth back!"
Sparrow "Aye, savvy. Now follow me, all of you." He said as the rest followed him.
The other man looked at Sora. "Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm William Turner.
"Sora smiled. "I'm Sor-well you probably already know from telling the captain just a while ago." Will smiled and nodded his head in agreement
Harbor
Jack and the others had run to the harbor, where they were all a bunch of guards running around.
"Wait…we're going to steal a ship?" Will asked them a question that the others thought too.
"No," Sparrow said to him. "Commandeer, we're going to commandeer a ship, nautical term."
"Yeah, it's still stealing." The others thought. They were not too keen on the idea of stealing one's ship. But then again…this was a pirate world, and they were pirates and joined a crew….so what could they do about it, right?
"Now boy," Jack said to Will. "This girl, how are you willing to go and save her?"
Will then gave a determined look on his face. "I would die for her if I must." He said. The others looked at him and looked awed by his conviction.
"Oh, good then," Sparrow said, as he then turned to Sora. "Now, me and Mr. Turner here are going to go get us a ship…and when I give the signal, you all come right over." He said to them as he led Will away.
This left the others looking confused. "Uh, what did he mean by that?" Sora asked.
"I don't know," Donald said. "Are we going to steal a ship?" He asked, not too keen on the idea.
"Well….we are pirates…" Ruby said, twiddling her index fingers together. "Maybe while they are getting the ship ready we should get to higher ground and keep an eye out." She said, making the others agree, and then took off to town again.
Fort
The group made their way back to the fort, it was a bit tricky to run into guards, but they made it and got to the higher clearing, hoping to see Jack and Will.
"Hey guys," Max said. "Do you think this Barbossa guy might be the reason why Heartless are here?" He asked. "I mean pirates do have a reputation for pillaging, plundering, and other stuff."
The others then thought about that, was it true? Was this Barbossa responsible? But again, Organization XIII could also be responsible as well. And this made them more worried, if the Ogzantion was in the world…they could be anywhere, they would have to keep their eyes peeled.
*DING DING DING*
The others heard that ringing noise and looked to see a big ship floating off. To their guest, it meant that that was the signal.
"Guys, let's go!" Sora exclaimed as they all ran as fast as their legs could carry them.
(Eyecatch featuring Jack Sparrow and Sora standing back-to-back)
(Eyecatch featuring Hector Barbossa and his crew, along with Heartless by his side.)
Harbor
Sora and the others arrived just in time, and since guards were scrambling, they had to look for a way to not draw any attention to themselves.
"Canoes!" Stitch said as the others looked to see that there were indeed some canoes on the harbor beaches.
"Are there any ours?" Sora asked them and they all ran to the canoes to see, and much to their relief, there were indeed some canoes on there. "Alright guys, let's get out to catch up with Jack and Will!" excluded as they all got into the small boats and started to paddle on.
It was a bit tricky, especially since there was gunfire going off and the waves shaking back and forth. But Sora and the rest of the team were able to make it to the ship, and just in time too as it was just turning.
"Alright, we're here guys!" Sora said as they all managed to rise to the ladder of the ship. And since the ship was sailing, they all had to take turns going up the ladder, but somehow, they were making it work.
As they all climbed up the ladder they were helped up by Will. "Are you all alright?" He asked.
"Sure, I mean we did have to get on some canoes and try to avoid some yards, but it's whatever," Sun said as he hopped on board. And with that, they all got on the ship as it took right off.
Open Sea
It has been two hours since they sailed out of Port Royal, and Sora… was so excited. But if you were on a real-life pirate ship, wouldn't you be excited as well?
"Mr. Sora!" Sparrow said to the boy as he was steering the ship. "I assume this is your first time on a ship, eh?" He asked.
Sora then shrugged shi shoulders. "Yeppers!" He said with a grin. "It's so exciting."
"Aye, exciting it may be, but there is also danger. Don't let your guard down, savvy?" Jack said as he kept on steering and everyone else was doing their own thing.
Will and Jaune were getting their swords sharpened, with Ruby looking on at them. And Will was giving them his life story. "When I was a young lad in England, my mother raised me by herself." He said as he shared his sword. "After she died, I went out to the sea by myself, hoping to find my father."
Jaune and Ruby listened on and were awed by his story, while they did feel bad about him losing his mother, they found his goal to find his father similar to there, trying to find their friends.
"That sorta sounds like us," Jaune said to Will, who looked at him. "Me, Ruby, Sun, we're out here trying to find some friends of ours who got captured. We've been sailing almost everywhere, but we have not yet been successful."
"Is that so?" Jack said to them as he unfurled some sails from their knots. Will looked at him.
"Yes, my father, Bill Turner?" He said as he then followed Sparrow close behind. "And it was that you agreed to help me only after you learned of my name. And since you agreed to help me, I didn't press on the matter." He said as Sparrow continued to unfurl the sails. "You knew my father, didn't you?" He asked.
Everyone looked at Sparrow and he sighed a bit before turning to Will. "Yes, I knew him." He said. "There were probably only a few who knew him as William Turner. Others just called him "Bootstrap" or "Bootstrap Bill," He said.
But that made Will look confused. "Bootstrap?" He asked something that Sora and the others shared. Who names someone Bootstrap?
"He was a good man, and a bloody good pirate too. You look just like him" He said as he took the helm. And Will? He was shocked.
"What? No, there must be some mistake." Will said in defense. "My father was a sea merchant, a respectable man who obeyed the laws!"
"He was a pirate, a scallywag!" Jack said. Sora and the tigers looked worried, afraid that this was going to break into a fight, and their fears were proven right when Will got out a sword and pointed it at Sparrow.
"Ok now!" Goofy said as he then it in between and held his arms out. "Now fellers, let's not get hasty and stabby right now. Will, you wish to save your lady friend right? So let's all calm down and work together.." He said.
The two men looked at Goofy and eachother. "The dog is right." Sparrow said. "Now's not the time to attack. We need to get to Tortuga and fast." He said.
Will was still not too happy about his father being accused of being a pirate, but he agreed…this was no time to start a fight, so he put his sword away…for now at least.
It was silent for a little while due to there being some tension, but then someone decided to speak up. "So…captain?" Ruby asked. "What exactly is Tortuga?"
Jack looked at her and raised an eyebrow. "You don't know much about Tortuga? Every pirate from the Spanish Coast knows about Tortuga." This made the others look at each other nervously, what were they going to say? 'Oh we just came from different worlds' What were they going to do?
"Well to tell you the truth," Max said, making Sora and the others look at him with shocked looks. "We just started and are new at this pirate gig." He said with a shrug of his shoulders.
Jack looked at the young boy with steady eyes, and after a few minutes, he then shrugged. "Well, I guess that'll do it. Not every pirate knows about Tortuga after all." He said as he entered the ship again. "All of you relax, it will take us a majority of the day." He said.
And this left everyone to do their own thing, but Sora… was still pretty excited about being on an actual pirate ship. Of course, it wasn't the first time he was on one, but it still as ng thought,
The Black Pearl
The Black Pearl, a very magnificent ship indeed, said to be uncatchable…and it was in the hands of a pirate crew, the crew of a certain pirate by the name of Hector Barbossa.
Barbossa was a large man with shoulder-length blond hair, blue eyes, and a thick, wiry beard. He wore a tattered black hat with a large black feather on the side, he carried both his sword at his side and a flintlock pistol as well. He wore a visible medallion around his neck and had on a brown belt over his right shoulder, the belt decorated with silver ornaments, and also, held his gun's holster. He had donned a black coat with many buttons lining at the front and cuffs over another buttoned buttoned-up was a bit more colorful that was patterned with splotched orange and brown and was also lined with light yellow.
Under his second coat was a faded white frilly collar of the shirt was folded over the collars of both of the coats. He also wore a gold sash under a black belt, dark pants, tan boots, and a brown fingerless glove that he wore on his left hand.
Barbossa was in the main room of the Black Pearl sitting across from a lovely young woman who had fair skin, brown eyes, and long, dirty blond hair. She also wore an elegant red dress that seemed tattered. This was Elizebath Swann, the daughter of the governor of Port Royal.
Barbossa dug into his pocket and pulled out a gold medallion and shod it to Elizabeth. "Do you know what this is?" He asked her.
The woman then looked at it and nodded. "It's a pirate medallion."
But Barbossa shook his head. "It's Aztec gold." He said. "One of the many 882 identical pieces that were delivered to Cortes himself in a stone chest. Blood money that was paid to stem the slaughter that Cortex brought upon the Aztecs with his armies."
Elizabeth looked at the medallion and back at Barbossa, where was he going with this? "Alas, the greed of Cortes was insatiable, so the heathen gods of the Aztecs placed a curse on the gold..a terrible curse." He then said something soft and a bit cryptic. "Whoever removes the gold, even a single piece from that stone chest, shall be punished for eternity."
Elizabeth would be lying if she said that she found the story a bit creepy, along with the medallion, but she scoffed at the pirate though. "Sorry, but I don't believe in ghost stories any more."The lady told him.
Barbossa however smirked. "Aye, that's exactly what I thought of first before e were told of the tale." He said as he got up and circled he was behind her seat. "The gold was buried on an island of the dead that can never be found, except for those who know where it is." He then leaned in down to reach the woman's level. "Found it, we did. There be the chest, inside there is gold. We took 'em all." He then looked at her. " We traded 'em, all for drink, food, and pleasurable company." He said as he then walked over to her other side.
"But the more we took…the more we came to realize." He said, now his eyes went wide. "The Drink would not satisfy our thirst….the food…it turned to ashes in each of our mouths. The pleasurable company…would not slake our lust." His eyes turned normal again as he leaned in closer a bit. "We are cursed men, Miss Turner." He said as he then leaned back and got up again.
"Compelled by greed, we were, but now….are consumed by it." He said.
*SCREECH*
He was distracted by a small Capuchin monkey wearing pirate garb, this was Jack, Barbossa's monkey companion. Barbossa went over to rub the monkey's head while Elizabeth, being sneaky and making sure that the pirate didn't see, grabbed a knife from the table and hid it in her lap, covered by a cloth.
"However," Barbossa said to her. "There's only one way that we can be free of this curse." He said as he walked back over to Elizabeth. "All the Aztec pieces but be recollected and displaced back into the stone chest, and the blood is repaid He then smiled at her. "And thanks to ye, we have the final piece." He said as he beheld the medallion, which k took it and scurried off.
Elizabeth looked at the pirate and had a look of confusion on her face. "The blood to be repaid?" Elizabeth asked with her eyebrow raised.
Barbossa smirked at her. "That's why there ain't any sense in killing ye…..yet." He said with a smirk.
And that was when Elizabeth then sprung into action as she stood up and got her knife ready. But Barbossa wasn't scared in the slightest "Won't do you have any good classes?" He said as he chased her around the room, but it was no use and when he grabbed her arm, she attempted to stab him right in the chest, but when the blade made contact, much to her shock and horror…he didn't even flinch.
Barbossa then took the knife out, his blade glistening with blood. "And what are you planning to do now?" He asked with sarcasm. Elizabeth, now terrified, ran for it and opened up the door to the outside, only to be met with a horrifying shocking sight.
All of Barbossa's crew… were skeletons! Rotting, undead, skeleton men working, their clothes all tattered and ripped, and their skin rotting. It was something out of a ghost story!
"You see Miss Tuner?" Barbosa asked her as she unexpectedly ran into him, he then forced her to take a good look at his crew. "The moonlight shows us for what we truly are." He said to her, but she was pretty terrified by what she was seeing right before her eyes. "We are not amongst the living, so we can not die….but at the same time, we are neither dead."
ElizebbatElizabeth let go and she walked backward a bit slowly as Barboaas' face turned into one of desperation and anger. "For too long, I have been denied food and drink. For too long, I haven't felt the wind on my face or the breeze of the sea."
As he walked a bit more, the moonlight had gazed on him and he finally released his form, that of an undead rotting corpse, whose clothes were rotted as well, even Jack the monkey was cursed and looked bad. "You best start believing in ghost stories Miss Turner, you're in one!"
As he said that, Elizabeth then saw him uncork a bottle of booze and drank it, with the liquid going right through him and down to the floor. The sight was pretty disgusting and the woman couldn't take much more as he then ran right back to the captain's quarters, with Barbossa watching and throwing the bottle on the ground and smashing it to pieces.
"Captain!" One of his crew said to him. "We have a problem! An intruder!"
"Intruder?" They all turned to see a man in a black coat in the middle. Some of the crew had weapons pointed at him, but he was not intimidated at all. "I am here to help you." He said.
Barbossa however was not moved and had his sword and pistol out. "You best tell what it is you're doing aboard my ship, or ye shall be killed!"
"As I said before." The man said with a calm tone in his voice. "I am not here to attack, I am here to make a proposal." He said. This made some of the crew murmur to themselves and Barbossa eyed the man with a question, which was hard to do since he was still in hsi undead form.
"Oh? And what of this proposal?" Barbossa asked.
The man chuckled as he took off his hood to show that he had fair skin, blue eyes, silver earrings, short blond hair, and a short blond mustache and beard. "You wish to be free of your curse, is that right?" He asked the pirate. "I can make sure that it happens, and many more." He said.
Barbossa was suspicious, but hearing the Thai man talk.. got him intrigued, but then scoffed a bit. "And how are we willing to help? We already got the last piece of the treasure." He said.
The coated man smirked. "I offer you this power of mine." He said as he held his hand out and Barbossa was engulfed in dark mist, his crew were now in full alarm as they all had their weapons pointed at the man, preparing to attack.
"WAIT!" They all didn't see Barbosa, who was still standing, and he then moved out of the moonlight to go back to his human form, and he had a look of confusion. "What is it that you did to me?"
The man smirked. "Just snap your fingers." He looked at him with confusion and looked at his left hand and did just that.
*SNAP*
When Barbossa snapped his fingers, a large set of Heartless had appeared right before his eyes, and the crews, some of them were shocked and awed, but none more so than Barbossa. "Hmm…what are these creatures?" He asked.
"They are called Heartless, and I gave to you the power to control them, and with that power, you can do more. Even conqueror the entire ocean." The man said. Barbossa looked at the creatures and a wicked grin appeared.
With these creatures, he could pillage, plunder, and rape to his heart's content, and the man was right..with these creatures, he could have the power to rule the entire ocean! The Royal Army…they would fall before him, and the entire Caribbean would be his to rule!
Barbossa looked at the man. "What is your name?"
"Luxord."
Barbossa smirked. "And I suppose you want something in return, Mr. Luxord?"
Luxord nodded his head. "There is a certain group of kids here in this world. A boy wielding a giant key-like sword, and a bunch of others. Quite colorful characters if You say so myself." He said, and Barbossa nodded. "Part of the group is a girl in a red cloak, and a boy dressed as a knight. I need those two kids brought to me alive, I could care less what you do to the rest."
Barbossa looked at Luxord and smirked. "Aye, well then, if these kids are important. Me and my crew shall get them for you."
Luxord nodded his head. "Good."
And we're going to stop there folks. Dang, 14 pages? That's gotta be the longest chapter in this story ever!
So I hope you all enjoyed that first part of the Caribbean world. I wanted to change some things a bit but also stay true to the film.
Some of you might be confused as to why Luxord is here earlier and not Pete. Well after replaying the game a bit. I kinda felt that Luxord was better in the Caribbean than Pete. But don't worry, once the heroes go into Agrabah and the Pride Lands, then we will see more of Pete.
So how did you all like the outfits? I decided to incorporate them from Kingdom Hearts 3 to make them blend in more with the world. With Jaune, I kinda wanted him to have an outfit similar to Edward Kenway from Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. Ruby just had a standard women pirate with her little take on it.
Sun's outfit is inspired by Monkey D. Luffy's Pre-Timeskip outfit, but without the straw hat, and sandals, kinda fitting since he is from Vacuo, which I heard is supposed to be hot.. Oswald was just a normal pirate garb along with Ortensia and Max. Stitch...I couldn't think of anything so I just gave him a bandana and eyepatch…did my best
Speaking of pirates, did you all see the new One Piece chapter? So apparently they gave out the newspapers and Luffy, Kidd, and Law's bounties were updated. And apparently Kidd and Law are not Yonko's but Luffy is..along with Buggy.
Yea, Buggy is a Yonko now, when I first heard about it, I thought it was just a joke, but nope….I don't know how to make this revelation…well, I guess we'll have to wait till next month for some more answers.
Anyways, please don't forget to read and review, I'm always happy to hear from you guys and happy to answer any questions you might have for me.
See you all next time :)
