Beckett: that name is like a slow-acting poison. He would slice off his head and not give it a second thought. And people say there's a scourge of piracy in the world: they don't know what they're talking about.
He considers the man's words carefully. Any misstep now could result in losing face, and he will kill before that happens. "Then I would say it would be... beneficial to both of us to know what that item might be, and keep it from anyone with ties to the East India Trading Company at all cost."
This man is absolutely right about one thing: it is a hard time for pirates. It used to be that they could go wherever they wanted, take whatever was there for the taking, return home, give homage where homage was due, and enjoy the spoils. Those days are becoming desperately rare.
He takes a step forward, looming tall over this liúmáng. "Tell me your name, insolent intruder, and what you know of Jack Sparrow's whereabouts."
