Freedom

Live on a ship was not that easy, first of all was the balance ,without being on the sea before Lucius didn't have sea legs. It took two weeks for him to not walk unsteady anymore, at least Jack had a good laugh at that.

Their first steal was around a month later when they encounter a Port Royal ship filled with supplies.

'' It's a good day lads, take what you want" says the captain.  

A good chunk of the crew goes to the private quarter's but Lucius and Jack goes bellow the ship. They find a box with salted meat and a couple of bottles of rum.  No clean water though.

'' Well at least the rum is good." say Jack after finding a bottle of rum

'' Let's just hope that our teeth will not fall off." Lucius say thinking about all the sailors without teeth 

'' ....eh?" Jack says confused

'' Mh? Ah if ye have too much alcohol or sugar or don't clean your them with clean water they root and fall off over time."

'' ...do golden teeth fall?"

'' Nup."

'' Oh that's good. Wait how do ye still have those teeth if ye drink the same as us? "

Fuck should have keep yeur month shut

'' Secret!" with a cheeky smile Lucius takes off with his new supplies back to the ship.

Time passes slowly on sea. Learning to fight with a sword was tricky ,you needed to more one with the sword and hopefully not trip on your feet. After tripping to much the captain put him on the side and tried to teach him himself. 

They tried on the left side too but still wasn't good.

'' ... ever thought of using two?"

'' Two swords?"

'' Swords, footing. Ye move yeur body very good so maybe ye need something different."

In the end two swords did the trick. In fighting the only difference between Lucius and Jack was that if Lucius was fine staying down waiting for the right time then Jack was always going first in the battle without a plan. Later when one in the crew tried to teach them to fight with their fist it was more easy and painful than sword fighting.

In the middle of the night Lucius goes to look at the stars or the calm sea thinking at Narcissa, sometime concentrating on the protective charm he gave her. Behind him footsteps come closer.

'' Ye are very sneaky mate didn't even hear Ye. Still ye looked kind of sad today."

'' Ah... I left someone important back in Tortuga." 

'' Oh my, a lass Lucy! Didn't know ye have it in ye." 

'' snort pig....ye don't think I'm too young?"

'' Hell no, ye are almost 15 mate plus ye are pirates if rules like those would even exist for us then .. why the hell would ye be here. Savvy?"

'' Heh , ye know ..for a guy like ye, ye are pretty great." 

'' Hah?! What's that mean?"

They laughed in the night, talked about how Jack was sold by a Captain and escaped on this ship, how Lucius learned all he knows from whores. In the end they talked and laughed until dusk and formed a bond that will last even after the sea eats them away. (For a brief moment Jack wondered how no one heard them talking.)

From there they pillaged ships with no view of land ,eating salted meat, dirty water but most of the time alcohol. They finally stopped at a last know port. Finally ,after 2 years of searching Lucius finds soap.

'' What? Soup?"

'' Soap Jack, soap. Come on mate, ye are in need of a cleaning."

It took half a day but Jack was finally clean and Lucius hair loss his oily state.

'' Well how it is?" Says Lucius proud of his work.

'' I feel .. flowery?"

'' It's good then " he puts his arm around his shoulders and goes back to the ship...that's not there...FUCK

'' ...how? But...the Code, mate the Code!"

'' Jack fuck the Code ye need to leave before the guards catch us. " their dis may did not get unnoticed,  two guard s already were going towards them. 

'' Run?" and this was the moment that Lucius know he was smarter then Jack 'cause he was already running!

'' Lucius ! Ye bastard!" Running  in a place you didn't know was a bad idea. 

'' Take my hand!" 

'' What? Ye want to run to merryland?" 

'' Oh for -" stopping abruptly Lucius takes Jack hand and stops. The guards run ,,after" them shouting to stop.

In the middle of the road hand in hand, two boys look at each other , one in amazement other in hidden fear. 

'' Does that mean that we could escape cleaning duty all this time?" 

ah thank you Jack 

At night they stole a boat and left for...well who knows really. 

 '' What else can ye do?" Jack asked when the night settled

'' A ball of light and I suppose fire, unlock any lock, and make myself invisible, people just forget I'm there"

'' Huh so a witch or a wizard?" 

'' There is a male term?! I called myself witch all this time."

'' Hah! Hey! Does that mean that no one can see this ship?"

 '' Jack... ye fucking genius."

After this the plan to steal a bigger ship and find new treasure was on. 

To stole a ship was easy for them, making sure that all the crew was out wasn't, the same could be said about finding treasure. Lucky for them the previous captain had some pirate maps in his quarters. With just the sun and stars help they get lost a little but they quickly set course back.

'' So your da' is a pirate?'' Lucius asked sipping from his bottle

'' Aye. He is the Keeper of the Code.''

'' ... what?''

Food was almost close to non but with the help of Lucius and his fire they at least had clean water. 

When they arrived on the port, in England, where the treasure was it's suppose to be...let's just say that you don't combine Jack and a church.

In a cove where a human barely fit they find a chest full of gold and precious stones. Taking the chest was the best thing in Jack life apparently.

'' This is the best thing in my live mate.'' said Jack after walking with a chest full of gold in board daylight  ,, No one attacking or chasing us, e can go at our own pace and the rum is endless.'' 

'' Ye really have a problem with that drink.''

For 6 months they made from a boat a ship with the help of others sailors willingly to help. A great brigantine named by Lucius ,Malchance.

'' Does it even mean something?''

'' It's bad luck in french, Cissa though me.''

'' Ah the mysterious lady, not that mysterious lady , always has the best ideas.'' he nods to himself

Their next stop was British Port Royal were they needed their famed swords or at least a hat. A pirate that before was in the Navy ,says that the Brits captured a bunch of pirates who had loot stolen from China.

Infiltrating in the Navy was over with two drunk guards, two hits in the head and some bribing they were in.

'' Shitty security'' say Jack after putting his new pants. '' It's just me or live is more easier with ye around?''

'' It's called luck darlin' ''

Three weeks later after finally assigned to weapon room Jack said.

'' .. hey.. did ye make those two drunks disappears?''

'' .. ye should take those weapons and get out already.''

'' Wha.. Lucius! ''

Taking care of a ship by two persons was stupidly easy in Lucius opinion.

'' Lucy if ye weren't freakily clean then I don't think this ship will be either.''

Looting a ship with two persons , no tuns just swords and the element of surprise was the most stupid thing Lucius ever did and  he said yes when they poached those fucking monkeys.

'' After this I'm gonna kill ye Jack!''

'' If they don't kill us first mate!!''

'' Stop looking after rum bottles I'm not dying unmarried!!'' say Lucius viciously cutting down Navy officers

After Jack cuts' from the ship cords and let's loose the wood throwing overboard the Navy's . In the final remained five young men.

'' How didn't we even saw you?''

'' Well ye could call it Malchance lads.'' say Lucius with a cruel smirk

'' .. Malance? Malorm? Malform?''

'' Oh for fuck sake! Jack just throw them away.'' without another word they throw the boys in the sea.

'' I told ye, it's too hard to say."

'' Hmph!"

They take their new supplies, clothes remained, silverware ,weapons and anything of value really.  Back on their ship Lucius say

'' I really hate Brits now. What do you think of Spain? 

'' Hmm, let's go there maybe we gonna find a ship just for myself Lucy."

'' Let's drink to that mate!"

Being hunted by a Spanish pirate hunter who apparently could see their ship was insane on so many levels, the same levels their plan was.

They put course to Bermuda Triangle, a gown over Lucius face , a worn out dress and it begins

'' If ye come any closer I throw the missus in Bermuda!" 

'' Your vile schemes will not fool as!"

'' whisper  ye sure ,ye gonna come back?"

'' If not, bring Cissa all my belongings."

'' Fuck ye make me emotional. "

Taking a deep breath Jack throws Lucius overboard directly in Bermuda triangles,  the Spanish hunters after him...well her. 

Stripping in the water Lucius begin praying at Calypso. 

'' Can you hear me, see me?"

'' Hello my child, you will be safe once more."

The Spanish ship was sinking and Lucius was going back at the surface. Looking in the man eyes Lucius wonders about his name, a voice of an old women say ,, Armando" 

Grinning and waving at him he say even if the man couldn't hear him 

'' Go fuck yourself Armando"

 Back on Malchance, Jack wouldn't stop hugging Lucius.

'' Ye fucking madman ,when I meet Cissa I'm gonna put her on ye."

Impersonating a guard from Spanish Royal  Navy would have been impossible without Lucius magic and Jack quick thinking.  Taking a canoe above their head they begin  shopping.

It took them 3 months to organized everything but in the end they Wicked Wench, a ship that belonged to the East India Company.  In those 3 months they began to charge Malchance with cotton, silk dresses, salt , tea, gold, silver , spices anything and... a fucking chicken.

Taking the ship in the middle of the night was easy like always, being fucking traced by this fucking Lord Beckett even after Lucius active his powers on full force, lucky them those one couldn't see Malchance. 

'' This never happen  before Jack ,we are taking water this beauty didn't have any munitions."

''  Fuck Calypso be with us mate ,I think we are gonna be caught "

'' Maybe , but we sure us hell will not be hanged."

Taken captive by the Spanish was like being flifty all over again.

'' Names."

'' Jack and Lucius mate "

'' Pleasure to meet you Lord Beckett "

'' You scumbag! You dare speak proper English."

Tuns could be heard later destroying Wicked Wench.

'' No! Why!? Ye fucking!" Say Jack in despair

'' We couldn't let it be touched by your lot, who know what filthy remained there"  mocking laughter could be heard on the Spanish ship.

A Spanish prison was a lot more filthy the  a British one. There were at least dozen of pirates or slaves waiting to be hanged ,branded or sold.

A day later a guard comes at them.

'' Up! Good for nothing men it's your turn!"

'' Turn? Turn at what." A hot glaring P of metal was shoved in Lucius face taking a couple of hair with him 

After being branded, barely moving their hands they began their escape plan. Knocking out two guards was becoming second nature for them. When the guards notice them, they were already on Malchance.  Noticing Jack  mood Lucius say

'' Let's get some rum , drink for Wicked Wench. "

'' Aye''

Lucius know that  there were bigger chance for Jack to make a mistake if he wasn't drunk.

Later if you questioned Lucius he wouldn't know what happen. He wake up to find Jack on his new ship, the Black Pearl.

'' Ye did what?! What who?!" 

'' Davy Jones himself. I have the Pearl for 12 years, after that , I serve a century aboard the Flying Dutchman. " 

''... and ye say I'm the mad one!"

'' This will be a bad time to say that we are a a Pirate Lord now?"

'' Ye are a what?!"

'' Not me! We! We are a Pirate Lord... here take this is your piece" says him giving Lucius a coin with a dragon. In the distance multiple thunders and lightning could be seen.

''... I though there could  be a single Lord for a single sea."

'' Oh there is , we just come as a pair... rum?"

''... I hate ye"

A week later they go in a lesser port to recruit a new crew to go after the Treasure of Cortés.

'' Ye sure about that?"

'' Mate ye have to take a crew sure ye can maintain one fine but two it's too much "

Three days later, Hector Barbosa leads a mutiny after Jack gives up the location to Isle de Muerta and Marion's both Jack and Lucius on a desert ship, without knowing that Malchance is always behind the Black Pearl.

Come nightfall the two friends are back on the sea with Lucius at Malchance helm.

 '' I know what ye want to say and --"

 '' Stop right there mate. Ye are brothers and if being brothers means all this shit then so be it. Listen what we are gonna do. Ye are gonna find a witch and ye will find one! There's always one around to fucking help us because Malchance Can't keep up with that speed. Then ! We go to Tortuga,  I take Cissa, I marry Cissa,  Ye are gonna to stay silent and not cause trouble  then we run and se from there savvy?"

'' Savvy."

'' Thank ye Lucius.." says Jack putting a hand on his brother shoulder
