Chapter 73: Caribbean


On a vast ocean, the group was sailing on a large raft.

Sora was now wearing a dingy white undershirt, striped gray linen trousers, and his shoes have merged into a hybrid of period appropriate sea boots and high top sneakers and have turned a faded black. He wears a fine silk, crimson waistcoat hemmed with gold and bronze buttons which is tied with a faded brown leather belt which sports a small buckle and an anachronistic double tongue. Over which, he dons a patched grey, leather coat with large cuffs, a dingy white or brown fur collar, and fitted with buttons likely made from brass or bronze. On his head is a faded blue bandanna and a faded-black tricorne that with a cross-shaped stitch on the right-hand side, and a crown faded in on the left.

Donald is wearing a dirty white shirt with a deep v-neck collar and rolled sleeves under a fraying, faded blue or gray vest with large copper buttons. In place of his hat, he wears a tattered blue bandanna around his head.

Goofy is wearing a dirty white collared shirt and beige pants that are roughly torn off at the knee, faded brown turn-down leather boots, and dirty white gloves. Around his neck is a fraying, pale green ascot which matches the tattered bandanna around his head. On his waist, he wears a faded brown leather belt studded with large medallions over a faded orange-and-yellow striped sash.

Natsu was wearing a sleeveless, gold trimmed, black waistcoat, often left open and untucked. A red bandanna on his head with a brown tricorn hat. He still has his scarf. He has long sea boots, a brown belt, a red sash around the waist, and long, hard-wearing linen trousers.

Lucy was wearing a frilly white cravat underneath a blue long sleeved coat, a short white skirt, a belt for her key pack, brown knee-high boots, and black stockings.

Happy was wearing a green sleeveless vest, a red sash around his waist, a black bandanna, and gold ring earing on his right ear.

Gray was wearing a navy blue bandanna around his forehead, a navy blue long sleeve coat, black pants, black boots, a black bandolier belt across his chest, and a black belt around his waist.

Erza had her usual armor, skirt, and boots on. Only her metal gauntlets were replaced with brown leather gloves. She had a brown tricorn hat with a red feather, and sports a brown cape.

Wendy had a red long-sleeve coat on, a blue dress, a brown belt, black tights, and red boots.

Carla wore a green skirt, brown shoes, a red shirt, a pink cape, and a pink bandanna.

Juvia wore a blue short-sleeve ruffle dress, a brown belt, a brown bandolier belt across her upper body, light black thigh high boots, and a blue tricorn hat.

Gajeel had a green and red bandanna around his forehead. He wore a sleeveless, silver trimmed, green waistcoat, often left open and untucked, a red sash around his waist, a white sash inside the waistcoat around the waist, wrist cuffs, black fingerless gloves, brown trousers, and black boots.

Panther Lily wore green pants and a red bandanna.

Laxus wore a large black coat that is used like a cape, a sleeveless golden shirt that was tucked in, black pants, and black boots.

Drake, Ur, Lady, Kat, Modeus, and Trish are also wearing pirate-like outfits. (think of any pirate outfits for them) 

Sora and Gajeel sang a pirate song while riding on the raft.

Donald: (rowing) Why are you so happy?

Sora: Cause we get to be pirates again!

Gray: You've been here before?

Sora: Yeah. Last time was awesome. I love being a pirate!

Natsu: I agree. This is awesome!

Gajeel: I'm liking this pirate song. It goes well with my guitar.

Goofy: Yep, you always did like this world, Sora.

Lucy: The clothes are nice. You did a good job, Donald. For once.

Donald: What do you mean?!

Erza: I'm really like this.

Sora: How could anyone not?

Drake: I can say that every kid has dreamed of being a pirate at least once in their life.

Carla: People who aren't big pirate fans.

Juvia: Drake, doesn't I look splendid in this outfit?

Drake: Yeah, it looks good on you.

Juvia: Thank you, sweetie! (hugs Drake) 

Sora: (sigh) Still...it's a real shame we don't have a bigger ship.

Trish: Yeah, this raft is crappy.

Lady: Why didn't we get a ship from the start? 

Donald: Got any idea where we're going?

Sora: Where else? The edge of the world!

Carla: There's no such thing as 'the edge of the world'.

Sora: That's not true!

Goofy: (salutes) Captain Sora!

Sora: (pirate voice) What ails ya, Mister Goofy?

Goofy: (points) The edge of the world!

Lucy: Wait, what?

Sora and Happy: Aye!

Goofy: We're runnin' outta sea, sir!

Sora: Aye! We're runnin' outta sea.

He then stopped laughing and looked at Donald. Both of them blinked.

Sora and Donald: Running out?!

Kat: Took you long enough!

They then saw all of the water in the ocean falling to the ground. And their boat was heading straight towards the edge.

The waves in the water began to move violently, causing the raft to be a little unstable.

Sora: (holds onto the wooden pole) Hard to starboard!

Gray: What the hell does that mean?!

Donald: It means start rowing the other way!

Donald and Goofy started rowing faster in reverse.

Goofy: But there's no time, Captain!

Sora: Juvia, try controlling the water to push us away!

Juvia: Yes!

Juvia used her magic to control the waves. But the waves didn't push them away from the edge. Juvia looked surprised.

Sora: What's wrong?

Juvia: It's the water, it won't let me use it!

The group then continued to row faster to get away, but it was too late as the raft began to tip and then fall into the abyss below. The group screamed.

Drake: I REGRET NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!

In an unknown location with an open sky, the group was lying down on a hard white ground. Sora opened his eyes, got up, and looked at his surroundings, which there was nothing there. The rest of the group got up as well.

Gajeel: What the hell?! We were just on water, now there's nothing here!

Sora: Where'd we end up this time?!

Erza: Well we can't stay here. We have to start moving in order to find something here.

Everyone then got up and started walking. Over a while, they became tired but till kept moving forward.

Goofy: We've been walkin' forever.

Kat: I'm exhausted...

Natsu: I'm so hungry...

Gray: Saying that will make everyone hungry.

Natsu: I can't help if I'm hungry!

Gray: Then stop saying it!

Donald: Listen! We need some food...

Natsu and Gray: Yeah, we know!

Sora: Some pirates. We won't get anywhere without a ship.

As he was walking, Sora looked up and saw a giant ship far away from them. 

Sora: A ship... 

He then stopped, making the others bump into each other.

Donald: Sora... This is dry land.

Laxus: Then how do you explain (points at the ship) that?

Goofy: Oh, boy!

They all saw the giant ship, which was moving.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy: It is a ship!

Ur: But what's it doing here?

Natsu: If Sora asked for a ship, maybe food will appear if I ask!

Happy: Wish up some fish!

Natsu: I wish for food!

Nothing came.

Natsu: Any minute...

Still nothing.

Natsu: Damn.

Drake: We have to get to that ship!

They all ran after the ship. As they ran, they got closer and closer to the ship. They also heard some footsteps behind them. Another man was here and he was running after the ship.

He was a tan, mustachioed man who wears his dark brown hair in dreadlocks decorated with numerous beads. His beard is similarly styled into two smaller dreads, each with two very small beads near the tips. Jack wears a faded red bandanna on his head, on which is another small beaded ornament ending in a silver coin. He wears brown boots and has brown eyes, and carries a the scabbard of his cutlass on his left hip, kept in place by a black strap that goes over his right shoulder. He wears another tan belt around his waist, over a tattered, white piece of cloth tied around his waist. He wears a faded, loose white shirt underneath a black jacket that exposes his chest, both tucked beneath the cloth and belt. The legs of his black pants are tucked into his boots. He sports a fingerless glove on his right hand. 

This man was named Captain Jack Sparrow, an ally Sora and the others made the last time they visited Port Royal.

Jack Sparrow: (runs past them) Hail, Sora!

Modeus: There was another man here?

Sora: Huh? (smiles) Jack Sparrow!

Kat: Who? 

Jack Sparrow: (stops running and turns to them) Captain Jack Sparrow.

Goofy: Sure is!

Erza: Sora, who is this man?

Sora: This is Captain Jack Sparrow. Captain of the fastest ship, The Black Pearl. Last time we were here, we helped him get his ship back from another pirate.

Wendy: That's amazing!

Natsu: No fair! I wanna fight bad pirates!

Jack Sparrow: Sora, aren't gonna introduce me to your mates?

Sora: Oh, right. These guys are my new friends. Drake, Kat, Lady, Trish, Modeus, Natsu, Happy, Lucy, Gray, Ur, Juvia, Erza, Wendy, Gajeel, Lily, and Laxus.

Gajeel: So you do whatever you want on the seas, sounds like fun.

Jack Sparrow: This guy gets it.

Sora: Hey, Jack. Where are we?

Before he heard an answer, they all saw Jack running away.

Jack Sparrow: Belay that. Ship absconding!

Sora: Huh?

Jack Sparrow: Help me catch the Pearl before she gets away!

Sora: Aye aye, Captain!

(starts from 0:21 to 1:40) 

Wendy: I can make us all catch up to the ship. Vernier!

Magic circle appeared beneath everyone's feet and they all started flying at an intense speed.

Sora: Now get it!

Jack Sparrow: (surprised) Bloody hell! What is this?!

Wendy: That's my magic. I use Sky Magic.

Jack Sparrow: Get down! (tackled Wendy)

The ground exploded near Wendy and Jack.

Panther Lily: What was that?

Carla: (saw cannons being fired) Look! The ship is firing at us!

Erza: We need to get to the ship!

They all flew towards the ship at max speed while dodging cannon fire. When they arrived on the ship, Heartless appeared.

Sora: So they caused it

Jack Sparrow: Let's take them down, men!

Gajeel: Iron Dragon Sword!

Natsu: Fire Dragon Iron Fist!

Natsu and Gajeel attacked an Anchor Raider Heartless simultaneously, defeating it.


Gajeel: A sword attached to his arm?!

Natsu: Hey, I wanted to take it down!

Gajeel: Who said you called dibs on it?!

Erza: Focus! We got more coming.

Near the shores, a group of people came running out of the water. Among them was a man with shoulder-length brown hair that is slicked back, brown eyes, and a faint mustache and goatee. 

A woman with fair skin, brown eyes and long, dirty blonde hair. 

A large man with shoulder-length blonde hair, blue eyes, and a thick, wiry beard. 

A dark-skinned woman with her hair in dreadlocks, with some parts being lighter than the rest.

And an aged man with grey hair and a beard which connects to his hair with sideburns. 

Those people are allies of Jack Sparrow: Will Turner, Elizabeth Swann, Hector Barbossa, Tia Dalma, and Joshamee Gibbs.

Gibbs: This truly is a godforsaken place.

Elizabeth: I don't see Jack. I don't see anyone.

Hector: He's here. Davy Jones never once gave up that what he took.

Will: And does it matter? We're trapped here by your doing. No different than Jack.

Tia: (petted a white crab) Witty Jack is closer than you think.

They then saw on the sandy hills, a ship moving towards them. It was the Balck Pearl, and at the top of the ship was Jack Sparrow watching the area. The group was on the main deck, keeping a lookout.

Natsu: Those Heartless were nothing.

Gray: They didn't put up a good fight.

Wendy: Look, there's people down there!

Lucy: What's with this place...?

Back near the shores, Tia smiled as the ship entered the shores of the ocean while the others watched in awe.

Tai: Impossible.

Pirate 1#: Boat.

Gibbs: Slap me thrice and hand me to me mama It's Jack.

As Jack and the group came off the boat, the people on the land ran up to them.

Pirate 2#: It's the captain!

Pirate #3: A sight for sore eyes.

Pirate #4: Hide the rum.

Gibbs: Jack!

Jack Sparrow: Mister Gibbs.

Gibbs: Aye, Cap'n.

Jack Sparrow: I thought so. I expect you're able to account for your actions, then.

Gibbs: (looked confused) Sir?

Jack Sparrow: There has been a perpetual and virulent lack of discipline upon my vessel-why? Why is that, sir?

Gibbs: Sir, you're... You're in Davy Jones' Locker, Cap'n.

Sora: Davy Jones' Locker?

Jack Sparrow: (going with it) I know that. I know where I am.

Lucy: Yeah, right.

Jack Sparrow: And don't think I don't. (turns to Sora and the others) I'm in Davy Jones' Locker. Assuredly.

Happy: If we're in a locker, where are all the clothes, books, and papers?

Jack Sparrow: Not that kind of locker.

Hector: Jack Sparrow.

Sora: (gets in a stance) Barbosa!

Juvia: Who?

Sora: He was the pirate that stole the Pearl from Jack!

Lady: Bet he's here for a fight.

Jack Sparrow: (walks over) Ah, Hector! It's been too long. Hasn't it?

Hector: Aye, Isla de Muerta, remember? You shot me.

Jack Sparrow: (playing dumb) No I didn't.

Gajeel: Huh. Now they're friends.

While they argued, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan walked over to the group.

Will: Sora. We meet again.

Elizabeth: It's lovely to see you all. Who are your new friends?

Sora: Oh! Will. Elizabeth. This is Drake, Kat, Lady, Trish, Modeus, Natsu, Lucy, Happy, Gray, Ur, Juvia, Erza, Wendy, Charle, Gajeel, Lily, and Laxus.

Erza: Greetings.

Drake: I'm up for a pirate adventure.

Elizabeth: It is nice to meet you all. I'm Elizabeth Swann.

Will: I'm Will Turner.

Sora: (notices their outfits) Is...something about you different?

Goofy: Yeah, you look all swashbuckly.

Elizabeth: Well, I've seen some adventures. But I never thought I'd find you here.

Drake: Speaking of which, where exactly is 'here'? What's all this about a locker?

Natsu: This is not a locker. It's a desert!

Will: Davy Jones' Locker. Jack neglected to repay a certain debt to Jones. So Jones sent the Kraken to devour Jack, and that's how he ended up here.

Modeus: Then...Davy Jones' Locker...

Kat: (shock) You're saying that we're all dead?!

Lucy: This can't be happening!

Tia: Don't worry. We're here to wrest Jack from his fate. Along with yours since you're here, too.

Jack Sparrow: (walks over to her) Tia Dalma, out and about, eh? You add an agreeable sense of the macabre to any delirium. (she chuckles)

Will: He thinks we're a hallucination.

Jack Sparrow: Heh... Complete with these three masqueraders. And they brought new men.

Sora and the others looked annoyed.

Jack Sparrow: William, tell me something: Have you come because you need my help to save a certain distressing damsel, or rather, damsel in distress? Either one.

Will: No.

Jack Sparrow: Well, then, you wouldn't be here, would you? So you can't be here. Q.E.D., you're not really here.

Natsu: If we're not real, then I bet you won't feel this!

Natsu on Jack's foot, making him collapse on the ground in pain. Everyone laughed.

Jack Sparrow: Dammit, good one!

Elizabeth: Jack, this is real. We're here.

Jack Sparrow looked stunned and confused. He then ran over to Gibbs.

Jack Sparrow: The Locker, you say?

Gibbs: Aye.

Elizabeth: We've come to rescue you!

Jack Sparrow: Have you, now? That's very kind of you. But it would seem that as I posses a ship and you don't, you're the ones in need of rescuing. And I'm not sure as I'm in the mood.

Lucy: What's with this guy?

Hector: I see my ship. (poets at the Black Pearl) Right there.

Jack Sparrow: (looked at the ocean) Can't spot it. Must be a tiny little thing hiding somewhere behind the Pearl.

Will: Jack, Cutler Beckett has the heart of Davy Jones. He controls the Flying Dutchman.

Natsu: Cutter Bucket?

Elizabeth: Cutler Beckett! He's taking over the seas.

Tia: And him must be stopped. The Brethren Court is called.

Jack Sparrow: (sigh) Leave you people alone for just a minute and look what happens. Everything's gone to pot!

Sora: I'm lost. What's going on?

Goofy: Well, umm...sounds to me like this Beckett fella they mentioned is tryin' to conquer the ocean.

Sora: Oh.

Gajeel: How do you conquer the whole ocean? 

Ur: Still, it would be annoying if the government is closely watching you.

Donald: The sea belongs to everyone!

Sora: Yeah! No conquerors.

Gibbs: Listen, Jack. The world needs you back somethin' fierce.

Will: And you need a crew.

Jack Sparrow: Why should I sail with any of you? Four of you tried to kill me in the past. One of you succeeded.

Will then looked at Elizabeth, who had a surprised and guilty look on her face. 

Jack Sparrow: Oh, she's not told you. You'll have loads to talk about while you're here.

Sora: Jack, we're on your side.

Jack Sparrow: Aye, so you are mates. I never could have caught the Pearl without you. Sora, Donald, Goofy, magic mates, you're hired.

Sora: Yes!

Jack Sparrow: Now, as for the rest of you...

Tia: (smiled and chuckled) Now...don't tell me you didn't enjoy it at the time.

Jack: (chuckled) Fair enough. All right, you're in. (came up to one of the men) Don't need you. You scare me.

The man looked stunned. 

Jack Sparrow: Gibbs, you can come. Marty. 

He then came up to a man with a parrot on his shoulder. 

Jack Sparrow: Cotton. Cotton's parrot, I'm a little iffy, but at least I'll have someone to talk to.

He then came up to a group of chinese pirates. 

Jack Sparrow: Who are you?

Tai: Tai Huang. These are my men.

Jack Sparrow: Where do your allegiances lie?

Tai: With the highest bidder.

Jack Sparrow: I have a ship.

Tai: That makes you the highest bidder.

Jack Sparrow: Good man. Weigh anchor, all hands. Prepare to make sail.

Listening to Jack, everyone headed towards the Pearl while Jack was looking at his compass. It was spinning like crazy, making Jack a little annoyed.

Hector: Jack... (holds the map) Which way you goin', Jack?

Jack growled with annoyance.

Drake: Simple, where ever the sea takes us, mate.
