/ Ah matey! 'tis been a while

Based on the fact that @thelastpirxte seems to enjoy disobeying his orders, Blackbeard has decided to relieve him of his duty to do as he pleases. ... By 'do' he means Elizabeth.

He's pleasantly surprised by the flattery. Grown a soft spot for this pirate has he?

"Well, well. It seems lively tonight"

"Neglecting your duty I see. . ."

"Not if said Captain is ferrying the dead. . . then there is no rest"

"Free?!" A hearty chuckle "My dear boy, once cursed always cursed. You will never be freed from those chains"

Aren't all Sparrows fun?

"Oh?"

*Waves*

It is not rumour if it is true

In his quarters Blackbeard gazes at the nautical maps strewn haphazardly over the table, surveying possible routes with only one question on his mind. Does he aimlessly sail the ocean or does he deliberately disrupt EITC trade? Both are appealing.

Or else?

"...and what occasion are you celebrating?"

"What, exactly, have I stumbled upon?"

"Ah, my liege!" He exclaimed, mockingly.

Really? Sparrows arguing over who is better?
