Port Royal No POV

Everything turned from bad to worse in Port Royal, a lot of people were being forced to march at the gallows all chained up with one another. 7 people hanged at a time.

Officer: "In order to affect a timely halt to deteriorating conditions and to ensure the common good, a state of emergency is declared for these territories by decree of Lord Cutler Beckett, duly appointed representative of his majesty, The King. By decree, according to martial law, the following statutes are temporarily amended: right to assembly, suspended."

7 people hanged.

Officer: "right to habeas corpus, suspended."

7 people hanged.

Officer: "right to legal counsel, suspended."

7 people hanged.

Officer: "right to verdict by a jury of peers, suspended."

7 people hanged.

Officer: "by decree, all persons found guilty of piracy..."

Some soldiers threw the boots of the corpses into a pile.

Officer: "or aiding a person convicted of piracy..."

Some soldiers tossed some corpses into a wagon and let the horse take them away.

Officer: "or associating with a person convicted of piracy... shall be sentenced to hang by the neck until dead."

The next 7 stepped up to the gallows as among them was a child. The kid was in the middle of the others as he wasn't tall enough to reach the nose as he had a coin in his chained hands.

Kid:<singing> The King and his men stole the Queen from her bed... and bound her in her bones... the sear be ours and by the powers... where we will, we'll roam...

The executioner put a barrel in front of the kid, lifted the kid on top of it and put the nose around his neck.

Man:<singing> Yo-Ho, all hands... hoist the colors high...

Soon more and more people sang as soon every person in chains were singing.

All:<singing> Heave-Ho, thieves and beggars, never shall we die... yo-ho, haul together.

The soldiers were getting a little freaked out as they back up a bit with their weapons ready to use them.

All:<singing> hoist the colors high.

Lieutenant: Lord Beckett! They've started singing, sir.

Beckett: finally.

All:<singing> never shall we die!

The singing stopped when the executioner pulled the lever as the boy's coin fell and landed on the ground.

At World's End

Singapore

A lone boat was sailing through the port waters of Singapore as it was revealed that the bit- the person in the boat was Elizabeth Swann. She was singing the same song. She saw Mercer leading some officers and soldiers through the dock as she saw some fire work wheels as she docked and got out of the boat. She got confronted by three men as it made her stop singing.

Tai: thief and beggar. Never shall we die. A dangerous song to be singing... for any who are ignorant of its meaning. Particularly a woman. Particularly a woman alone.

Barbossa: what makes you think she's alone? <walks down some stairs with Anamaria>

Tai: you protect her?

Elizabeth:<puts a knife to his throat> and what makes you think I need protecting? <the two men aimed their guns at her>

Anamaria aims her guns at them but keeps her sights on Elizabeth since Wade's death Anamaria has had a hunch that Elizabeth was responsible for his death and grew to despise her. Wanting to just end her life with her blade or gun.

Barbossa: your master's expecting us. And an unexpected death'd cast a slight pall on our meeting.

Elizabeth let's Tai Huang go as one of his men gestured all of them to hide as they hugged the wall as some Company soldiers ran past them as they went through a secret entrance in the sewer grate under the stone bridge.

Company soldiers and officers were marching around as five heads were under the water heading for a sewer grate as the ones in the water were Ragetti, Gibbs, Pintel, Marty, and Cotton. They all wore coconut helmets except Pintel since he was bald. Ragetti went first as he heard the soldier's footsteps as he halted the others but when a sneaky cart was above them then he gestured them to come over.

They waited as the one pushing the cart was Tia Dalma disguised as a blind woman as Cotton's Parrot and Monkey Jack with a rice hat on were on the cart she was pushing.

Parrot: steady as she goes.

Monkey Jack:<winds the hurdy-gurdy>

The music of the hurdy-gurdy was the covered up sound as the group started to saw the bars.

Anamaria, Barbossa and Elizabeth were following Tai Huang.

Elizabeth; have you heard anything from Will?

Barbossa: I trust young Turner to acquire the charts and you to remember your place in the presence of Captain Sao Feng.

Elizabeth: is he that terrifying?

Barbossa: he's much like myself, but absent my merciful nature and sense of fair play.

Anamaria: which means be quiet and keep your bloody attitude in check.

Tai knocked on a door as he said something to a peep hole and they were let in. The others got the grate opened as they crawled inside well Marty just had to crouch. Barbossa and Anamaria handed their weapons over as Elizabeth was going to walk through but the man at the entrance stopped her.

Man: do you think because she is a woman we would not suspect her of treachery?

Barbossa: well, when you put it that way...

Anamaria:<mumbled> and bold of you to assume she's a woman.

Man: remove. Please.

Elizabeth took her coat off and threw at a man as she put her flintlocks on the table, put her leather weapon holder on the table, a bomb and a high caliber gun from like behind her leg or something as that was all the weapons she held. Anamaria rolled her eyes at her as Elizabeth tried to go in but she was stopped once again.

Man: remove. Please.

Elizabeth looked down at her clothes as she then looks up and glares at the man as he was smirking as Anamaria also smirked.

(A/N): kind of short but it's a start.
