"Really the biggest move in the history of piracy, probably ever. Barbossa could never, I do great things, tremendous things, Barbosa follows Jack around everyone, never does anything himself, and when he does he fails, Sad!, Barbossa wishes he was me, he does"
Folks, nobody had a fleet like mine. Hundreds, maybe a thousand junks, the biggest pirate armada the South China Sea ever saw. We took everything, forced the emperor to beg me to quit. And you know what they almost never mention? Me marrying my step-mother, Ching Shih. Smart woman, ran half the fleet anyway. Huge power move, kept everyone loyal. But the scholars skip that part and just cry about all the treasure we grabbed. Whatever, doesn’t matter. Qing navy begged me to join them so I did. Big win for everybody.
