"There!" I pointed to the sea where I saw Jack floating back to the ship in a coffin, using a corpse leg to paddle. My face soured when I saw that. "Ew."

Mr. Gibbs offered Jack his hand once he reached the Pearl, but Jack handed him the severed leg bone instead. I climbed down the rigging, and jumped to the main deck.

"Not quite according to plan," Mr. Gibbs said, disgusted by the leg.

"Complications arose, ensued, were overcome," Jack said as Cotton draped his coat over his shoulders.

Jack began walking away as Mr. Gibbs followed, "you got what you went in for, then?"

"Mm-hmm," Jack nodded and waved a cloth in Gibbs' face. As soon as he turned around, he was met with a group of people he didn't seem happy to see.

They were a group of pirates from India. Their leader, Leech, was an Indian man who wore a tan frock coat and a red turban. He had dark black hair that partially flowed out.

Gibbs resumed, "Captain, I think the crew, meaning me as well, were expecting something a bit more... shiny. What with the Isla de Muerta going all pear shaped, reclaimed by the sea, and the treasure with it."

"And the Royal Navy Chasing us all around the Atlantic," Leech said.

This discussion had been planned by us for a while. Leech suggested that we mutiny against Jack, and I tried to hold them back as much as I could. Despite the title of co-Captain, Jack's big ego made him overpower everything I suggested, and he often took my ideas for himself when they worked. There just isn't a candle in his pumpkin head. This lack of power and recognition made me not work that hard at changing their minds.

"And the hurricane!" Marty mentioned. Norrington was chasing us shortly after we left Port Royal last year, and we finally lost them because of a hurricane. However, it was one of the most brutal storms we have endured.

Everyone agreed, "aye."

"All in all, it seems some time since we did a speck of honest pirating," Gibbs said.

Jack was silent for a moment before clarifying, "shiny?"

"Aye, shiny," Gibbs nodded.

Jack turned back to everyone, "is that how you're all feeling? That perhaps dear old Jack is not serving your best interests as Captain?"

"It's been less interesting than a morgue," I muttered.

"Hey, hey! It's as interesting as a morgue," Jack snapped.

The parrot squawked, "walk the plank!"

Jack quickly cocked his pistol and pointed it at the parrot, "what did the bird say?!"
