Zarya's POV
Elizabeth rowed the longboat while I kept a lookout. For two weeks we sailed until we arrived at Singapore. By now Cutler Beckett had the heart of Davy Jones and that bastard was under Beckett's command. I would do whatever it took to get my mate back. I placed a palm onto my stomach where the new life inside me grew. My dragon said I was two weeks along and I needed to do whatever I could to not lose this child. The first trimester was the highest risk of having a miscarriage and the thought of losing such a thing would devastate me.
Only three people knew I was with child. Tia Dalma, Will, and Elizabeth. I trusted my crew mate's but those three people I trusted more than anything else. Barbossa seemed to be nicer after being resurrected and he didn't give me a hard time after losing Jack. I had always liked Barbossa and he was a good man most of the time.
I still wore my usual attire while Elizabeth wore something else. The two of us wore hats so we wouldn't be caught by Beckett's men. I mean every person of his fleet was at every pirate port for crying out loud.
Elizabeth continued to sing "Hoist the Colors" as she rowed our boat on. Eventually we arrived at our destination and I helped Elizabeth secure the boat before we got out of it. A group of men stopped us and Elizabeth made me get behind her.
"A dangerous song to be singing for any who are ignorant of its meaning" the pirate said. "Particularly two women, particularly two women alone"
"What makes you think their alone?"
The two pirates turned to see Barbossa walked down the steps towards them.
"You protect them?" the man questioned
"And what makes you think we need protecting?" Elizabeth demanded.
My eyes glowed to show these pirates what I was and they immediately gulped.
"Your master's expecting us" Barbossa explained. "An unexpected death cast a slight pall on our meeting"
The two pirates nodded before nodding for us to follow them. My eyes returned to their normal hue and we followed after our escorts.
"Have you heard anything from Will?" I whispered to Barbossa.
"I trust young Turner to acquire the charts and you two to remember your place in the presence of Captain Sao Feng"
"Is he that terrifying?" Elizabeth asked
"He's much like myself, but absent my merciful nature and sense of fair play"
I shot Elizabeth a shrug before we were stopped outside of Sao Feng's chamber. Some more of Sao Feng's men stood behind us. Barbossa, Elizabeth, and I handed over our weapons. I only had my sword which was the one I took from the chest on Isla Cruces and my pistol. Elizabeth tried to walk forward but she was stopped and asked to remove more stuff.
"Do you think because she is a woman we would not suspect her treachery?" the guard inquired.
"Well when you put it that way" Barbossa replied. The guard looked to Elizabeth again.
"Remove please"
Elizabeth undid her hat before opening her coat. My eyes went wide to see the weapons she kept hidden. She gave another guard her jacket before pulling out the pistols first with the swords following along. Barbossa was smirking like an idiot enjoying the scene before him and I rolled my eyes. Elizabeth pulled out a cannonball and another pistol which was larger than the others.
"Remove please" the guard stated.
"She's done with the strip tease" I growled getting annoyed. The guard gave his apologies before allowing us entrance to Sao Feng's chamber. Inside it reminded me of a sauna because there were various men enjoying themselves in man made hot springs. Sao Feng was enjoying the warmth of his domain and he eventually turned to us.
I gave the pirate lord a respective bow as did Barbossa and Elizabeth.
"Captain Barbossa welcome to Singapore" Sao Feng greeted. He then asked for more steam and his female employee pulled a switch to gain access to said steam. "I understand that you have a request to make of me"
"More of a proposal to put ye" Barbossa went on. "I've a venture underway and I find myself in need of a ship and a crew"
"Hmm" Sao Feng replied scratching the back of his head. "It's an odd coincidence"
"Because you happen to have a ship and a crew you don't need?" Elizabeth asked.
"No, because earlier this day, not far from here a thief broke into my most revered uncle's temple and tried to make off with these"
He then went over to a servant and retrieved his charts. The charts needed to enter Davy Jones locker.
"The navigational charts, the route to the Farthest gate, wouldn't it be amazing if this venture of yours took you the world beyond this one?"
He then tossed his charts to own of his men.
"Lt would strain credulity at that" Barbossa responded calmly.
Sao Feng smirked before backing away and turned to his left and nodded. Will was pulled out of some water was bound to a wooden pole. He gasped for breath since his head had been underwater. Elizabeth looked panicked while Barbossa seemed to pretend he didn't know what was going on. I kept my face neutral.
"This is the thief" Sao Feng explained approaching Will. "Is his face familiar to you?"
We all shook our heads before Sao Feng retrieved a knife.
"Then I guess he has no further need for it"
Just as Feng was about to cut Will's throat I snarled as Elizabeth protested. Sao Feng turned to us. He knew what I was thanks to my fangs being elongated and bared. Feng put his blade away before going on.
"You come into my city and you betray my hospitality"
"I assure you I had no idea that he would be caught" Barbossa said
"You intend to attempt the voyage to Davy Jones' Locker but I cannot help but wonder why?" Sao Feng wondered.
The men around us stood up but Sao Feng held his hand up for them to stand their ground. He also walked a few feet ahead of us and then turned around. Barbossa tossed something silver to Feng and he caught it. He blew the silver object off and held it to his ear.
"The song has been sung" Barbossa explained. "The time is upon us, we must convene the Brethren Court, as one of the nine pirate lords, you must honor the call"
Sao Feng ordered for more steam. When nothing happened Sao Feng shouted for more steam in annoyance.
"There is a price on all our heads" Feng said. His back was turned way from us. "It is true, it seems the only way a pirate can turn profit anymore is by betraying other pirates"
"It'd be time we put our differences aside the first Brethren Court gave us rule of the seas, but now that rule is being challenged by Lord Cutler Beckett" Barbossa continued.
"Against East India Trading company, what value is the Brethren Court? What can any of us do?"
"You can fight!" I snapped and I step towards Sao Feng feeling my eyes glow. One of Feng's men tried to grab me but I snarled and slapped his hand away before looking to Feng. "You are Sao Feng the pirate lord of Singapore, you command in an age of piracy where bold captains sail free waters, where waves aren't measured in feet, but as increments of fear and those who pass the test become legends, would you have that era come to end on your watch?"
"The most notorious pirates from around the world are uniting against our enemy and yet you sit here cowering in your bathwater!" Elizabeth added.
Sao Feng approached me and Elizabeth.
"Zarya Hart, Elizabeth Swann, there is more to you than meets the eye isn't there?" Sao Feng asked as he circled us. "And the eye does not go wanting, but I cannot help notice you have failed my question"
Sao Feng stopped circling me and Elizabeth and returns to his position at the front. He looked at Barbossa.
"What is it you seek from Davy Jones' Locker?"
"Jack Sparrow" Will replied. The two girls behind Sao Feng chuckled. "And mate to Zarya"
"Damn straight" I added. "He's one of the pirate lords"
Sao Feng looked irritated by this revelation. He rubbed the back of his head before walking away from us once again.
"The only reason I would want Jack Sparrow returned from the land of the dead is so I can send him back myself!"
He then kick some objects due to his anger. Barbossa walked towards Sao Feng who now turned to him.
"Jack Sparrow holds one of the nine pieces of eight, he failed to pass it along to a successor before he died, so we must go and get him back"
Sao Feng looked to a nearby man who's tattoo was smudged.
"So you admit you have deceived me"
He then shouted for weapons to be drawn and his men got ready to fight.
"Sao Feng I assure our intentions are strictly honorable" Barbossa said before swords were tossed to us from underneath the floor. Sao Feng grabbed the man with the smudged tattoo.
"Drop your weapons or I'll kill the man!"
Barbossa looked to me and Elizabeth. I shrugged before the pirate looked back to Sao Feng.
"Kill him, he's not our man"
"If he's not with you or he's not with us, who's he with?" Will asked.
Suddenly gunshots rang out and the hide out was ambushed by Cutler's men and all hell broke lose. The soldiers who came at me either got sucker punched or danced blades with my swords. Elizabeth tossed Will a sword and freed himself. He then saw a pistol being pointed at Elizabeth and he hurriedly got her out of harm's way before the pistol shot one of the women behind them. I regrouped with Barbossa, Elizabeth, and Will at the entrance and we turned to see rifles pointed at us.
But thanks to the crew below a blast created a distraction and we made a run for it. Outside it was pure chaos and we occasionally had to fight with Beckett's men who got in our way. I stabbed at least three myself. Tia Dalma ended up blowing up a boathouse while Jack the monkey used a firework to light up more fireworks creating the distraction we needed to get out of Singapore.
I regrouped with Elizabeth and the others. Will had Feng's charts and even better a ship and a crew. Sao Feng would rejoin us in Shipwreck Cove and cover our escape. Once on the ship I felt the pregnancy kick in and I threw up the contents of my stomach.
"Zarya"
I turned to look at Will. He offered his hand out to me.
"You need rest"
I nodded in agreement and I let Will escort me to the main cabin.
"It would be wise if you took things easy for awhile" my best friend pointed out as he helped me lay on the bed. "You have your child to think about"
He was right and I placed a hand onto my stomach.
"Jack was concerned if I was pregnant before he died" I explained. "He made it clear to tell him if I did conceive"
"You'll be with him again soon Zarya" Will promised. "I may not understand how a mate bond works but I do know Jack loves you and he would want you to take care of yourself and the baby"
"I'm hoping it's a girl" I confessed.
There were enough male Sparrows in this world already. I then smirked.
"You and Elizabeth no doubt will have a son"
Will flushed red and I chuckled.
"I'm just teasing you my friend"
Will smiled at me and he patted my shoulder.
