A/N: This is the last chapter, and it's really short as it is a sort of little epilogue, wrapping up that little that was left to be said. I hope you liked the story because I had fun writing it.

Chapter Seven: A Pirate's Life For Us

As she had promised, Elizabeth had the Port Royal shipyard to build a copy of the Pearl for Barbossa. And since she was making such an order, she thought of a nice present for her husband and son. She added another copy to her order, intending to gift it to Will, so he would still be Captain, but not of the Dutchman, but of a normal ship.

Five months later the first copy was ready, and it was called, with the pirate's typical originality for names, Black Pearl II. Barbossa was the Captain, and took Ragetti, Pintel and some other men from the crew of Jack's Pearl for his own ship. The other Captain found easy replacements in Tortuga, as usual.

Will and William were on Jack's ship, as well as Elizabeth. Gibbs was the First Mate, while on Barbossa's one this role was filled by Pintel.

Often the two ships would act together, and they would divide the gold they would retrieve in their missions.

Other five months, and the Black Pearl III was launched. Will was its Captain, Elizabeth the First Mate, and their son was of course in their crew. The other members were recruited on the usual Tortuga with Gibbs' help.

So now a small fleet of Black Pearls sailed on the Caribbean Sea, pirating as they went, and scaring the merchants who happened to have to sail in that zone.

Elizabeth and her family never set foot on Port Royal again, and they were happy this way.

As the three ships left their anchorages after refilling the holds with food and lots of rum, a song could be heard on the decks, almost like it was a single voice singing.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me
We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot
Drink up me hearties, yo ho

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me
We extort, we pilfer we filch and sack
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
Maraud and embezzle and even high-jack
Drink up me hearties, yo ho

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me
We kindel and char inflame and ignite
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
We burn up the city we're really a fright
Drink up me hearties, yo ho

We're rascals, scoundrels villains and knaves
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
We're devils and black sheep - really bad eggs
Drink up me hearties, yo ho

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me
We're beggars and blighters and ne'er-do-well cads
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
Aye, but we'er loved by our mommies and dads
Drink up me hearties, yo ho

"And now, to that horizon" Captain Jack Sparrow fiercely said, as the original Black Pearl took the lead of the small formation.
