I'm really curious what would happen with Jack's debt if Margaret were to influence Davy. Maybe Jack should have a chat with her to explain what happened back then :U

thanks for sending this in Pirate because I am SO here for this!

and I am honestly SO curious myself. This is a great potential opportunity for Davy Jones' redemption arc progress goodies too!

tldr; Margaret likely would influence Davy... at least partially since this makes her a sort of neutral third party mediator? But probably in a way where Jack still has to pay up in some way, because Jones held up his end. Bargains with Jones aren’t exactly escapable, which she surprisingly actually has some experience with this (see towards the end of the post). Plus Jack is a wiley one and has (extensive?) history with Jones so that makes things more interesting XD So I’d love to hear your thoughts too!

~*~

okay... now for the extensive ramble...

[we interrupt this message for a brief moment where I fell down a rabbit hole of reading/analyzing The Price of Freedom’s ending with Jones & Jack and the Epilogue while I'm still in the middle of typing this ask (not mind you I haven’t read much else of TPOF yet, but I digress) and I JUST -- OH GOSH I have so many questions now!! ABOUT JACK. ABOUT JONES. ABOUT THE BLACK PEARL.

[SPOILERS WARNING: POTC The Price of Freedom]

*SCREAMS*

WAIT. YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT DAVY FREAKING JONES NOT ONLY RE-FLOATS THE WICKED WENCH/BLACK PEARL, HE FREAKING UPGRADES IT!?

HOW DID DAVY DO THIS?! DOES HE KNOW ALL ABOUT SHIPBUILDING HIMSELF?! SUMMON A CREW OF GHOST SHIP BUILDERS TO DO THEIR WORK OUT OF EXISTING SHIPWRECKS ON THE OCEAN FLOOR?!

I NEED to know!!

(also kudos Jack haha)

AND DAVY FREAKING JONES ADDS THE GORGEOUS BLACK PEARL FIGUREHEAD!!! I NEED TO KNOW WHO AND WHAT THAT FIGUREHEAD REPRESENTS AND WHERE/HOW DID DAVY GET IT AND WHO ORIGINALLY CARVED IT?!

*ahem* apologies for the caplocks. XD

Anyways...

...

Wow. Just... wow!

Okay so back to the plot!

Jones held up his end of the bargain (& quite impressively might I add), so... Jack can’t exactly go off scott-free XD But Margaret would also be strongly against Jack being sent to the Locker or devoured by the Kraken.

Idk what exactly that results in... Jack still serving some time (perhaps crewing aboard the Dutchman now won't be so bad with Margaret in the picture haha XD)?

Or mayhaps the Black Pearl (captained by Jack) joins Davy Jones’ fleet?

Ultimately theoretically only that the oceanic judge can settle the penalty/different terms from the original bargain?

But yeah, like I mentioned earlier... Margaret shockingly knows personally what it means to hold a debt to Davy Jones. Worse, she knows said an unsettled debt to Jones can turn hereditar even after the debtor’s died.

*casually leaves this here too because I love this edit and lil' rp blurb that Megan and I wrote some time back*

“Yer father owes me a heavy debt fer savin’ his ship from bein’ sunken down tah the dark abyss. And with him no longah in this world, who’s tah pay his debt that he ran so far away from? Tell me, did he ever warn ye tah never sail the dreaded seas- uh?”

Also, yes. This is how Margaret finally meets squid-faced Davy with his whole cursed appearance and infamous reputation. And Davy’s redemption arc first begins. :D
