"Close haul her! Luff the sails and lay her in irons!" Jack commanded. "Belay that, or we'll be sitting ducks!" Barbossa yelled. "Belay, belay that!" Jack yelled at the crew. "But the armada..." Gibbs went to argue. "Belay!" Jack yelled before he could finish his sentence.

The ship from Becket went closer towards us. We took the same route. When suddenly, from across from us, another ship jumped out of the water. Now all ships started heading against each other. "Full canvas!" Jack yelled happily, and I couldn't help but smile when I noticed Will on board leading the crew.

The sails got set, and together with the Dutchman, he turned so the Dutchman would be on one side and we were on the other side. "Captain!" Gibbs yelled. "Fire!" Jack commanded, and instantly the Dutchman and the Black Pear started firing at the Endeavour from Becket.

The ship broke and started catching fire; in the end, it sunk into the ocean along with its captain. Beckett was finally gone. "They're turning away!" Martin yelled happily as the other ships headed another way. The whole crew started cheering, and I was also so goddamn relieved. Everyone started throwing around their hats, and I ran over to Jack again, hugging him and holding him close.

"Mister Gibbs..." Jack said as he put one arm around me and took off his hat. "You may throw my hat if you like." He said, and Gibbs looked more than honoured. "Aye, aye captain!" He yelled out happily. "Horay!" He yelled out. "Now go and get it." Jack said, and Gibbs now stopped laughing and went to search for Jack's head.

I then looked over to the ships from the other pirate lords and looked at Jack's father. I smiled at him, and he gave me a nod in return before his ship also took another way and the ways from the pirates parted.

"Your chariot awaits, Your Highness." Gibbs told Elizabeth. She will get back on land and say her goodbyes to William, as she wouldn't see him for the next ten years. We all stood in a line, and she slowly walked past us. "Mrs. Turner." Barbossa sighed with a small smile, and she grinned at him slightly. "Goodbye, puppet." Pitel said, and Ragetti nodded.

She then stood in front of me and Jack. "Jack..." She mumbled. "We would've never been friends." She then told him, and he grinned at her as he pulled me closer to him. "Keep telling that to yourself." He told her with a grin, and she then looked at me. "Y/n..."

"I can't hate you forever." I told her, and she looked at me surprised. "I hate what you've done to Jack and your lies, but I can't hate you forever. I won't forgive you by tomorrow." I told her, and she slowly nodded. "Make sure to visit us." I told her, and she looked at me with a small smile. She quickly hugged me, and I hugged her back. "Now go. Your man is waiting." I told her and slightly pushed her towards her boat.

I was at the dock, along with Jack, as we went to walk back towards the Black Pearl. I already noticed two females at the end of the dock. "Jack...what are they doing here?" I asked him as I looked at them. Those were his two ex-hookups. "Is this jealousy? Don't worry, dear; I can handle it." He said and slowly approached them. His gaze then landed on a very small ship at the end of the dock.

"Is that it?" Scarlett, the blonde woman asked. "The Black Pearl?" Gisell said confused. "It's not very big." She commented as they turned to look at us. "Guys, that is a dinghy. My vessel is magnificent and fierce and huge-ish and... gone. Why gone?" Jack asked. I looked at the horizon. "Jack..." I mumbled and pointed there. "Is it there?" Scarlett asked. "Yes! There it is!" He said it first happily, but that smile faded. "Why is it there?" Jack asked himself, and we then looked down to see Gibbs sleeping not far away.

Jack poured water over him to wake him up. "Mr. Gibbs." He spoke as Gibbs slowly woke up. "Any particular reasons why my ship is gone?" Jack asked. "The ship? We're on the ship." Gibbs said and almost went back to sleep until he suddenly stood up. "Jack! The ship is gone!" He yelled at him. "Really?" Jack asked annoyedly and went over to the two women who were already fighting.

"Ladies!? Will you shut it?" Jack asked them both. "Listen to me. Yes. I lied to you." He then told Scarlett. "No. I don't love you. I only love the sea and Y/n." He told Giselle. "Of course it makes you look fat." He told Scarlett again only to look at Gisell a second later. "I've never been to Brussels." And back to Scarlett. "It is pronounced egregious. By the way, no, I've never met Pizarro, but I love his pies. And all of this pales to utter insignificance in light of the fact that my ship is once again gone. Savvy?" Jack ended his little speech, and suddenly Scarlett slapped him across the face. When he looked back. Gisell did the same. And Jack then slapped Gibbs. I held in my laughter and watched as the two women walked back towards the town.

Gibbs looked angry for a moment but grinned back at Jack a moment later. "Take what you can." Gibbs then said grinning. "Give nothing back." Jack and I replied with a huge grin, and I watched as Gibbs went after the two women. "Tell me, ladies, what do you know of sea turtles?" He asked, and I turned back to look at Jack with a grin.

"Should we go, Captain?" I asked with a smile, and we both sat in the small boat. Jack put up the pirate flag while singing a song. "Jo ho, jo ho, a pirate's life for me." He kept humming and then sat down in front of me. He grabbed the car he cut out from Barbossa's map, and I grinned at him. "Good thing we stole it..." I mumbled. Jack then looked at the card with a grin and soon took out his compass.

It spun for a moment before it landed on me. "That's problematic." I said with a grin, and he looked up with a smirk. He then grabbed my head and pushed his lips onto mine. "I love you." I told him with a soft smile and separated myself from him. He looked at me lovingly, and I then took out some rum and watched as the needle pointed somewhere in the ocean.

I opened the bottle and handed Jack the rum. "Drink up, me hearties! Yo ho."
