Taking back the Black Pearl

Captain Jack Sparrow sneaked into isla de Muerta with the help of William Turner.  But Captain Barbossa and one of his crew caught him.

"Jack Sparrow," Barbossa called.

"Captain Jack Sparrow, mate," he corrected.

"Captain Sparrow? You're alive?" the curse pirate was confused.

"Sea turtles, mate. Sea turtles."

"Intercepting the lifting of the curse, are we Jack?" Barbossa asked as the cursed pirate put the blade of his sword across Jack's neck.

"I'm just here to take back my ship," Jack said.

Pirate Lord of the Caspian Sea

"So tell me, what's become of my ship?"

Hector Barbossa, one of the nine Pirate Lords of the Brethren Court. Captain of the pirate ship Black Pearl after he and it's crew mutineed against the original captain Jack Sparrow.  They marooned Sparrow on a tiny island after he revealed the bearings of Isla de Muerta where the Chest of Cortez, containing Aztec gold, is hidden.

Captain Barbossa and his crew found the Aztec gold and became cursed.  They have become undead skeletons whose hideous forms only visible in the moonlight.  The crew must return every treasure of Cortez to lift the curse.

Just time time that the last coin was returned to the chest, Jack Sparrow shot him dead.  But that did not end the life of Captain Hector Barbossa, Calypso also known as Tia Dalma, resurrected him and he continued his adventure in seeking Jack Sparrow and his ship, the Black Pearl.

I am Jack Sparrow

       I am Jack Sparrow, son of Grant Sparrow, born in British Colonial India, captain of the Black Pearl.  My first mate, Hector Barbossa, and my crew mutinied and marooned me in a deserted island to claim the Aztec gold of Cortez for their own, which was soon known to be cursed.

       I gained back my precious Black pearl by defeating Barbossa but my time somehow was running out.  The black mark was within my grasp.  After thirteen years, Davy Jones was coming to claim my soul, as promised.  Then i was soon eaten by his Kraken but my crew was saddened with my departed and all agreed to bring me back and sail at the world's end.  But they need a captain who knows the way, and then came the resurrected Hector Barbossa.

        They have successfully saved me but would not trust going back to my crew since four of them tried to kill me but only one succeeded.  But we must fight, together with the pirate lords of the world against Cutler Beckett from destroying the pirate world by using Davy Jones.
