As for me and Sammy, we kept our promise and became numbered among the last of the true pirates. I never saw either my father or uncle again, and we have a price on our heads.

In exchange for larger shares of the booty, my crew agreed to refrain from cruel practiced against captives.
And while I’m still a pirate, I have a name I can live with – Captain Jake, Gentleman Pirate of the Caribbean.
