Johari: (Approaches to Juliana) So Liana, huh?
Juliana: (Looks shyly)
Johari: I see another goddess crossing my path. Do I have to bow before you? Give you an offering?
Juliana: (With shyness and confusion) No. Non of that is necessary.
Johari: (He takes a sip of the liquid from his canteen)
Juliana: I'm so sorry. I know I should've told you before.
Johari: (Calms her by resting her hand on her shoulder) Hey. It's okay. You don't have to apologize. You haven't done anything that deserves an apology.
Juliana: Aren't you mad?
Johari: Of course not. I didn't tell you anything about this either. (Shows her the Onyx Owl)
Juliana: But I've already seen you go up and down the crow's nest in your owl appearance several times.
Johari: And I saw you giving life to some beautiful flowers while speaking with the captain.

Juliana, without thinking twice, conjured up a rose which she handed to Johari. Johari couldn't help but smile at the small gesture.

Juliana: My mother always told me to hide my power. And adding to that the fact that we disliked pirates, I was afraid to say it.
Johari: You don't have to make excuses. Besides, I heard that conversation you had with the captain. I am the one who should apologize for that.
Juliana: Then... everything's okay?
Johari: (Smiling) Everything's alright. (•••) Can you help me with the sails?
Juliana: (Nods shyly)

When they arrived at the port, Juliana, Carina and Henry were surprised to see the wooded beach.

Juliana: I had never seen a landscape like this before.
Johari: (Approaches to Juliana, Carina and Henry) What? Do you like it?
Juliana: Are you really asking that to me? Just look at all those trees and plants.
Johari: And that's only a beach you've seen. You haven't seen the Pantano River. A long way of water crossing between the trees.
Carina: A river in the middle of the woods? Is that even possible?
Henry: Looking at it, I still wonder if it is possible for a forest to be next to a beach.
Anne: (Approaches) You're really surprised just because of the landscape? You guys are so enthralled by the forest that you didn't realize we're not the only ship docked in this port.

Juliana saw the neighboring ship and immediately recognized the Lotus Flower, remembering its image in the official book of the Goddess Flame.

Juliana: (Seeing the large aquatic flower carved on the bow of the neighboring ship) The Lotus Flower!
Henry: As big or bigger than the first time I saw it.
Juliana: (Surprised) You've been onboard the Lotus Flower?!
Carina: Not onboard. But we've seen it.
Henry: I've watched it grow in front of my eyes.
Anne: I really like sailing on that ship. But as it has no captain right now...
Johari: (Showing the Lotus Flower Ring) Excuse me?
Anne: If you are captain of the Lotus Flower, then why are you here as a simple crew member of the Black Pearl?
Johari: To bring back the real captain of the Lotus Flower.

Next to the rudder
Jack: (Getting the crew's attention) All of you guys on this ship have heard about the Gates of Hell! You know we don't have the resources to take down the whole crew! My most loyal, most trusted and strongest crew members will go with me! (Naming each pirate that it's going with him) My first mate and most faithful companion, Master Gibbs! Johari and Marty, you know that place well! Bollard and Pike, I need you for your strength and collaboration! Anne, there is no stronger or braver woman than you on board this ship! The others will agree to see who will take care of the ship and who will go look for more barrels of rum! Of course, Turner, Barbossa and... (With a voice of disgust) ...Beckett, you're not staying here! You're going with me as well! Now let's go!
