Mary-rose's POV
So I decided it'd be safer to hide out at Shipwreck Cove until Beckett is dealt with. I'm not fighting him. Just waiting until he is no longer a threat until I leave. I've decided to still go to White Cape Bay. It'd be an adventure.
We arrived and went to a meeting room of sort. Where the other pirate lords were gathered. Aside from Sao Feng. I stand in the shadows and watch silently as Barbossa stepped forward to address the brethren court.
"As he who issued summons, I convene this, the fourth Brethren Court. Your pieces of eight, my fellow captains" he says. Ragetti goes around collecting each piece. Honestly they looked like pieces of junk to me. Barbossa's was Ragetti's wooden eye.
"We're missing two. By the sound of it" Mistress Ching states.
"Sparrow!" Villanueva says. Jack plays with a coin connected to beads on his bandana. Barbossa takes note of the gesture.
"We're still short one Pirate Lord. I'm content to wait until Sao Feng joins us" Jack states.
"Sao Feng is dead" Elizabeth declares. I turn to see her with Sao Feng's crew. Wearing a captain outfit and Sao Feng's necklace. "Before he fell to the Dutchman, he named me captain of the Empress, and passed his lordship onto me" she states. She puts a sword on the world globe where the Singapore sea is.
"Captain? Captain? They're just giving the title away now" Jack grumbles.
"Listen to me! Our location has been betrayed. Jones, under the command of Lord Beckett and they are on their way here" Elizabeth tells them. As she stands by Jack and Barbossa.
"Who is this betrayer?" Jocard asks.
"Not likely anyone among us" Barbossa assures them.
"Where's Will?" Elizabeth asks.
"Not among us" Jack tells her with a shrug.
"And it matters not how they found us! The question is, what will we do now that they have?" Barbossa asks.
"We fight" Elizabeth suggests.
"Shipwreck Cove is a fortress, a well-supplied fortress. There is no need to fight, if they cannot get to us" Mistress Ching states. That's what I'll be doing. I notice the other members of the Court give that consideration.
"There be a third course" Barbossa states and they all look at him. "In another age -- at this very spot! The first Brethren Court captured the Sea Goddess Calypso, and bound her in her bones. That was a mistake" he tells them. "We tamed the seas for ourselves, aye, yet opened the door for Beckett and his ilk. Better were the days when mastery of seas came not through bargains struck with eldritch creatures, but by the sweat of a man's brow and the strength of his back alone. And you all know this be true" he states. The others nod their head in agreement.
"Gentlemen ... ladies ... we must free Calypso" he declares. The pirate lords are silent and then erupt. Shouting over the top of each other. About cutting out his tongue and shooting him. Jack suggested trimming his scraggly beard.
"Sao Feng would have agreed with Barbossa" Huang tells Elizabeth.
"Sao Feng's judgment in matters Calypso shouldn't be trusted, even if he were here" Elizabeth states. Huang takes her point, steps back.
"Nonetheless, I would have agreed with Sao Feng" Villanueva states.
"Calypso was our enemy then, she will be our enemy now" Jocard tells him.
"And her mood's not likely improved" Chevalle agrees. Villanueva pulls out his pistol, slams it on the table. Saying he'd still agree with Sao Feng. "You threaten me?" he demands.
