All real pirates have heard of this ancient goddess of the sea, and everyone knows the story of how she once ruled the entire sea with her boundless magic power.
And every Pirate King can tell the story of how the original nine Pirate Kings captured Calypso and bound him in human form at the First Brotherhood.
Using a magic older than the Goddess, they tamed her wild rage and brought the sea under their control.
But of course those are just legends, and of course there is no real Calypso—the real goddess trapped in human form.Will there really be one?
Xiao Feng's eyes swept across the ship, and suddenly projected onto a woman on the deck——Elizabeth.
Barbossa did not miss this detail.
"Calypso." Sao Feng said hesitantly, "It's just an ancient legend."
"No," said Barbossa, his voice thickening. "The goddess is bound in a human form. Whether she is angry or happy, you don't know, but once she gets emotional, she bestows on a lucky sailor." The favor of ... Of course, you have heard the legend."
Sao Feng had heard the stories, long ago, when Calypso was still powerful, if she took a liking to a man at sea, everything would go his way.
The lucky captain who captures her heart will find fair weather and calm seas.
With the favor of a goddess like her, the captain easily conquers the seas.
Barbosa went on to say: "For a while, the sea was not so obedient and the world was more difficult, and the sailors had to work hard on their own."
He paused, letting his words be digested.
Then he approached Xiao Feng again: "I want to restore all this."
"For this, I need to convene a brotherhood." He looked at Sao Feng meaningfully, and then said: "All Pirate Kings."
"What is your suggestion?" Xiao Feng said softly.
"What can you accept?" Barbossa asked, guessing he already knew the answer.
Sao Feng nodded towards the other end of the boat and said, "That girl."
Barbossa smiled, his Pirate King brother falling into his trap.
Elizabeth could not hear the conversation from where she stood.
But now, she felt the eyes of the two men staring at her, and she looked over.
This conversation also caught Will's attention: "You help us escape, and we'll give you Elizabeth in exchange?" he asked horrified.
Xiao Feng nodded.
"No." Barbossa pretended to be concerned about Elizabeth's safety, "No, absolutely not."

"You help us escape, and we give you Elizabeth in exchange?" he asked in horror.
Xiao Feng nodded.
"No." Barbossa pretended to be concerned about Elizabeth's safety, "No, absolutely not."
"This is not a problem." Sao Feng said.
"Deal," said Elizabeth.
The others gasped.
"What?" Will exclaimed, "No deal!"
"You've got us in this mess," Elizabeth told him, her anger finally exploding. "If this gets us out of this mess, then it's a deal." She lifted her chin, looking bravely at Sao Feng.
"No." Will protested, his heart breaking.
He had already lost the Black Pearl and a chance to save his father, should he now lose his only true love?
"It's my choice," insisted Elizabeth, "my own choice."
"Elizabeth, they're all pirates," Will said.
She gave Will a merciless look and said, "I have enough experience dealing with pirates."
What she meant was clear - pirates like you.
She didn't trust Will any more than she trusted the other pirates, in fact, maybe even less.
Xiao Feng's smile widened: "I'm very happy."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to take her arm, but Elizabeth snapped it back, and she promised to go with him, but that was all.
To her surprise, Xiao Feng raised his hands, bowed respectfully and said, "Please forgive me, I know I should ask for your permission first."
Elizabeth didn't understand what he meant, but she straightened her shoulders and looked dignified: "Yes, you should do this."
"So we've reached an agreement?" Barbossa asked.
"That's it." Xiao Feng said while holding Barbosa's hand.
He wants his men to fight the people of the East India Trading Company and steal the Black Pearl back to Barbossa and Jack's people, and he wants to help them hold a brotherhood.
In exchange, Elizabeth would leave with him on the Empress.
At this time, in the captain's cabin of the Endeavour, Jack Sparrow was pacing back and forth, gesticulating with his hands.
He was setting out the terms of the agreement between himself and Lord Beckett.
Beckett watched it all carefully, squinting, having learned from past experience to be wary of any plans that sprang from the mind of the eccentric and often cunning Jack Sparrow.
"You can keep Barbossa," he said, counting his fingers, "and that scrappy dwarf and his wood-eyed friend, both, and Turner, especially Turner."
Beckett tapped his fingers. He noticed that there was a special person Jack didn't mention: "What about Miss Swan?"
"The others will join me on the Black Pearl," Jack replied. "I'll take you to Shipwreck Bay. Have we reached an agreement?"
Lord Beckett looked at Jack's outstretched hand with a smile, but he didn't hold it.
Instead, he wandered his fingers over the items on the table, and picked up the compass again: "Jack."
"Don't forget, I have this artifact compass, he can point to anything I want."
"Point to what you want most," Jack commented. "It's not a fraternity, is it?"
