I still can't believe that inbred barnacle-eater WARNED ME about the cargo!

Clearly he knows NOTHIN' about me... About my deep intelligence, my ambition...

There must be something important in that chest and I'm certain when I claim it, it'll make me the King of Smugglers — and Jack will become obsolete while I take the crown.

WHAT A FOOL!
