Pirates of the Caribbean: The Price of Freedom

After they finished with their session, Esmeralda kissed him
goodbye, then went back to Venganza. She would sail northwest with
him for the next two days, to make sure the temporary repairs were
holding. After that, he’d proceed on his own to Savannah.
He reached Savannah with all temporary repairs still in place, then
sought out the EITC office there. After showing his bill of lading for his
cargo, and explaining what had happened, the EITC office sent an
inspector out to check over his ship and cargo.
After they removed the ruined barrels of sugar, the men in the
EITC shipyard set to work on the Wicked Wench. When all of the holed
hull planking had been replaced, the shipyard also repaired any jobs
that had been too difficult for Jack’s ship’s carpenter to tackle.
Ten days after he’d docked at Savannah, Jack sailed out again,
freshly restocked with food, water, black powder, and ammunition. But
instead of heading due north, to stay on the Triangle, Jack headed
almost due east toward Bermuda, following the pointing of Tia
Dalma’s compass.
Now it’s time for you and me to have a nice little chat,
Christophe, Jack thought, clicking the compass shut. Just a friendly

About fifty miles south of Bermuda, Jack located his quarry. He sailed
the Wicked Wench toward La Vipère, then hove-to about a mile away
from the brigantine. He’d purchased black silk and white silk in
Savannah. While on the voyage, he gave Ayisha the fabric, and
pictures of two flags, asking her if she would please sew them for him.
Putting aside the dress she’d been making, she’d stitched them up
promptly.
Before he climbed into the dinghy, Jack ordered a puzzled
Chamba to hoist the larger of the two flags Ayisha had made. It was
the black Jolly Roger. The idea of a ship the size of the Wicked
Wench, crewed by pirates that were almost as ruthless as he was,
ought to give Christophe pause.
As soon as the dinghy floated free from his ship, Jack stuck the
second of the two flags, which he’d mounted on a stick, upright in the
