Pirates of Christmas

[Cutler Beckett]

The sheer fact that I am a threat to your massive organizations at all is a sign of your weakness.

In order for that to occur, you'd have to first acknowledge the faults in your own operations.

To begin with your first statement, I stated that you were a SMALL threat. You have cannons, cannonballs, gunpowder, and the ability to fire them, yes? Then you are a threat, be it a small one, as you are capable of doing damage, and will likely do damage, to the East India Trading Co.

If we cannot agree to sit down as Gentlemen, the battle between us will end in Gunpowder. Should I recall correctly, when we first spoke, you began by insulting me. To tell me to question my own operations without acknowledging your own is rather small-minded and arrogant.

I'm offering you an Olive Branch. Do not simply burn it.

Who said I failed to acknowledge my own operations? I'm a pirate, loud and proud. You said so yourself, and I find no discomfort in gleefully agreeing.

A threat is a threat. One man, one ship, one crew, and I already have you shaking in your boots...or tights, rather.

I am not shaking, haven't you seen me simply walk past Cannon-Fire without a sweat? Why would The Midnight Revenge cause me to quiver when I have an entire Armada at my disposal?

If you want to be more accurate, I would by shaking in my Hessians.
Regardless, allow me to be direct...

Will you do Business with the East India Trading Company?

Allow me to be direct; no.

 

[Cutler Beckett]

Allow me to be direct; no.

Then we have settled that matter.

Nearly every odd is against you.

Manpower.
Ships.
Currency.
Men.
Resources.
Food.
Repairs.
Control.

Even time itself.

You are a dying breed and whether it be a Cannon or Time that seals your fate, your Adventures will End.

You forget that I run the restored coalition of the Brethren of the Coast.

Oooohhhhh snap.

I do want you to remember, Jack, that the EITC has more ships than the Royal British Navy.
Attempting to boast about such advantages is similar to running me through with a Sword made out of Air.

Why don't you focus on Captain Santa Claus, the original subject matter of the thread, instead of me?

I'm not fond of chasing Ghosts, Jack.

...
...yet you're fond of pursuing a man that possesses an enigmatic compass, that points to the thing you want most in this world, so that you may uncover the cursed heart of an immortal pirate with tentacles for a beard in hopes of exploiting him by using said hexed internal organ as leverage?

Makes sense to me.

Wait a minute...

You seem to be uneducated in the difference between a Ghost that we have no proof of, and something that hundreds are willing to testify and confirm.

My goals are Noble, many of you Pirates ruin the lives of thousands.

I am Determined, but only in certain regards and in pursuing my Goals.

Hundreds of sailors can testify of the curse of the Black Pearl, the undead skeleton army of one Captain Jolly Roger, the Dead Man's Chest, the Fountain of Youth, the Trident of Poseidon, and even the terror of the Arctic himself, Captain Claus.

Funny, my 237 Spies didn't find anything in the North, or South Pole.

 

[Captain Jack Truesilver]

Funny, my 237 Spies didn't find anything in the North, or South Pole.

Considering that Captain Jack Sparrow was able to vanish under the eyes of seven of those spies, and that the same number of spies were unable to find me, I do believe that there is reason to question the abilities of your agents.

Sparrow has a funny way of altering Reality.

And we have found you.

We're just waiting for the opportune moment.

No, you haven't found me. You're communicating to me via written messages, but you've yet to actually became aware of my presence. Largely due to the fact that Sparrow was once my mentor, I too have a funny way of altering reality, mate. He just happens to execute his methods differently than I do.

I wasn't referring to this Conversation being the way of how I've, "Found you."

To assume something such as that on a whim is presumptuous.

It wasn't merely a presumptuous assumption. It's an intimate knowledge of your affairs. Did it not occur to you that I have spies of my own?

Quantity or Quality, Mister Truesilver?

 

[Captain Jack Truesilver]

Quantity or Quality, Mister Truesilver?

My philosophy is that in all aspects of life, quality stumps quantity. Every time. Perhaps that should give you a clue as to how I run things in the Brothers of the Coast, including reconnaissance efforts.
