'''Port Royal''' is a [[world]] that is featured in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', based on Disney's ''{{w|Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl}}''. The world consists of Port Royal, Isla de Muerta, the Ship Graveyard, and the decks of the Interceptor and Black Pearl. The world's moonlight mechanic revolves around the Aztec curse from the film, and so much of the layout is designed to provide areas of shadow, which make the Undead Pirates invulnerable, and areas of moonlight where they can be defeated.


[[Image:Port Royal (world).jpg|thumb|250px]]
The world is expanded with [[The Caribbean]] from ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]''.


'''Port Royal''' is a world from ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''.
It follows [[Disney Castle]] in availability.


Based on ''Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl'', Port Royal and [[Atlantica]] follow [[Disney Castle]] in availability.  It is a dark world, with only specific areas touched by the moon's light. The first boss of Port Royal is [[Captain Barbossa]] and the [[Illuminator]], while the second boss is the [[Grim Reaper]].
==Development==
In the NTSC and PAL version of ''Kingdom Hearts II'' some cutscenes have been edited, such as Will not aiming a gun to his head when he is threatening to commit suicide and [[Barbossa]]'s sword is removed from Jack's chest. The medallion that Barbossa first uses to attempt to break the curse is only shown coated in blood in the respective scene, and is afterward untainted (in the original, the blood remains throughout the escapade.) Also, Barbossa's monologue with Elizabeth on the Black Pearl is edited to omit the mention of lust and women (however, the replacement, which talks of "pleasurable company" is actually the line as it appears in the original film). Gameplay wise, undead pirates do not catch fire, however, the Grim Reaper Heartless still does. The Rifle Pirates' muskets have been changed to crossbows, even though they still retain the original sound effect of a rifle shot. All of these changes carry over into the ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'' build of the game. Strangely, the scene where Barbossa takes a drink from his wine bottle is kept in both versions, but this is the reason why the American version of the game is rated E+10 for alcohol use.

==Settings and Areas==
===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
Port Royal is divided into three main areas: the actual town of Port Royal, the cursed Isla de Muerta, and the Ship Graveyard. Traveling between locations centers around {{nihongo|'''{{a|The Interceptor}}'''|インターセプター号|Intāseputā-gō}} and {{nihongo|'''{{a|The Black Pearl}}'''|ブラックパール号|Burakku Pāru-gō}}, and from the Gummi Ship, Sora can only land at the location where the ships are docked. Both ships can be attacked by pirates or monsters en route, but when he needs to escape, Sora can usually retreat inside the ship where enemies will not follow. These areas, the Interceptor's {{nihongo|'''{{a|Ship's Hold}}'''|船倉|Sen-sō|lit. "Hold"}} and The Black Pearl's {{nihongo|'''{{a|Captain's Stateroom}}'''|船長室|Senchō-shitsu|lit. "Captain's Cabin"}}, contain save points to quicken healing.


== Locations ==
[[File:Ship Graveyard - The Interceptor's Hold (Art).png|thumb|225px|left|The wreckage from the ''Interceptor''.]]
Port Royal is divided into four main areas, only one of which is actually the town of Port Royal. Sora and the gang land on the '''Rampart''' of the town's fort, which holds several defensive cannons. In addition, one can look inside the fort to see a prison area. There are two sets of stairs, the left one leading down to the '''Harbor'''. This is where Sora first encounters the undead pirates. From here, the bridge leads into the main '''Town''' area, which is being attacked by heartless and pirates. A road from here leads back to the fort, but Sora will want to head back to the harbor to meet up with Jack Sparrow.
Sora and the gang land on the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Rampart}}'''|高台|Kōdai}} of Port Royal's fort, which holds several defensive cannons. The town's prison can be seen from here, and the two sets of stairs lead to the rest of the island. Taking the left set of stairs, Sora arrives at the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Harbor}}'''|港|Minato}}, where he first encounters the undead pirates. From here, the bridge leads into the main {{nihongo|'''{{a|Town}}'''|街|Machi}} area. Finally, a road leads from the Town to the other set of stairs back at the Rampart.


The second main area is the two ships, '''The Interceptor''' and '''The Black Pearl'''. These ships are where you can sail to the other main areas, although they can both be attacked by pirates. If you are losing, you can retreat inside, where the pirates won't follow. These areas, the Interceptor's '''Ship's Hold''' and the Black Pearl's '''Captain's Stateroom''' also hold save points.
While fighting Barbossa, Sora and Jack must travel to {{nihongo|'''{{a|Isla de Muerta}}'''|死の島|Shi no Shima|lit. "Island of the Dead"}}, "an island that can not be found, except by those who already know where it is." Sailing the Interceptor, Sora's group first lands at the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Rock Face}}'''|岸壁|Ganpeki}}, an outcropping that leads to the inner caves. From the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Cave Mouth}}'''|洞窟入口|Dōkutsu Iriguchi|lit. "Cave Entrance"}}, Sora accesses the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Powder Store}}'''|火薬置場|Kayaku Okiba|lit. "Powder Yard"}}, where pirates wait in ambush behind explosive gunpowder crates. Sora must detonate these crates to create paths for the precious moonlight. Next is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Moonlight Nook}}'''|月明かりの間|Tsukiakari no Ma|lit. "Chamber of Moonlight"}}, a small area that serves as a perfect battleground due to the abundance of moonlight, making it easy to defeat pirates. The last area of Isla de Muerta is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Treasure Heap}}'''|宝の山|Takara no Yama|lit. "Treasure Mountain"}}, a cave where the pirates store all the treasure they have obtained within the years of their curse. In the center of the Treasure Heap is the stone chest containing the 882 cursed gold coins, where Sora and Jack have their final duel with Barbossa.


The main important area for the first storyline is the notorious Isla de Muerta, "an island that can not be found, except by those who already know where it is." Sora's ship lands on the '''Rock Face''', an outcropping that leads to the inner caves. From the '''Cave Mouth''', Sora accesses the '''Powder Store''', where pirates wait in ambush behind explosive gunpowder crates. Sora will need to detonate these crates to create paths for the precious moonlight. Next is the '''Moonlight Nook''', a small area that serves as a perfect battleground. The last area of Isla de Muerta is the '''Treasure Heap''', a cave where the pirates store all the loot they have gained within their cursed years. They look forward to the day when the curse will be lifted, and they can spend their ill-gotten gains at long last. Smack dab in the center is the cause of all the trouble...the cursed stone chest containing the 882 gold coins. This area serves as the final dueling grounds with Barbossa himself.
While tracking Luxord, Sora also gains access to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Ship Graveyard}}'''|船の墓場|Fune no Hakaba}}, where the sea's currents have carried the wrecks of the many ships sunk in the vicinity of Isla de Muerta, including the Interceptor. Sora begins in {{nihongo|'''{{a|The Interceptor's Hold}}'''|船倉|Sen-sō|lit. "Hold"}}, one of the few remaining pieces of the ship. From here, Sora can go to {{nihongo|'''{{a|Seadrift Row}}'''|がれきの道|Gareki no Michi|lit. "Road of Rubble"}}, a long corridor consisting of the remains of destroyed ships. The last area is {{nihongo|'''{{a|Seadrift Keep}}'''|がれきの砦|Gareki no Toride|lit. "Fort of Rubble"}}, a shipwreck that bears a resemblance to a makeshift fort.


Only in the second story line can Sora access the fourth main area, the Ship Graveyard. Currents carry the wrecks of any ship sunk in the area around Isla de Muerta to this forsaken place, and when Luxord sinks the Interceptor, it too is carried here. Sora begins in the '''Interceptor's Hold''', one of the few remaining pieces of the once proud ship. From here, Sora can go to '''Seadrift Row''', a long corridor consisting of the remains of destroyed ships. The last place is '''Seadrift Keep''', a shipwreck that bears a resembles a makeshift fort.

===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
[[Sora]], [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]] arrive at Port Royal and notice something different about this world (being that the world and its citizens are based on a live action film, instead of cartoons). They find [[Pete]] talking to Captain Barbossa and fight his pirates. However, Sora and co's efforts are proven unsuccessful, as Pete hints that the pirates are vulnerable to the group's [[magic]] and moonlight. After defeating the pirates, Sora and company meet [[William Turner]]. He tells them that the Governor's daughter, [[Elizabeth Swann]], was kidnapped by Barbossa. After watching them sail away, they meet [[Jack Sparrow]] who agrees to join them to rescue Elizabeth. He only agrees so he can hear Will's name and get back his ship, the ''Black Pearl''.


[[Image:Port Royal Old Ship.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Ship Graveyard]]
Upon reaching Isla de Muerta, Jack and Will go ahead to save Elizabeth while Sora, Donald, and Goofy stay behind. After a while, Will appears with Elizabeth (but not Jack), fearing for her life, as she gave her name as "Elizabeth Turner". This means she would have the blood of Bootstrap Bill Turner, the one needed to lift the curse. She then tells how she took a cursed medallion from Will as a child so he would not be prosecuted as a pirate. Will reveals he had to attack Jack so he and Elizabeth could escape.  


=== First Visit ===
Barbossa and his pirates catch up and attack the Interceptor. Barbossa captures Elizabeth and Will threatens to kill himself and tells Barbossa that it is his blood he needs. Barbossa leaves Sora, Jack, Donald, Goofy, and Elizabeth on the ship, which is rigged to blow up and infested with Heartless, while he takes Will with him and his pirates to free themselves of the curse.


Sora, Donald and Goofy arrive at Port Royal and notice something different about this world.  
Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Jack clear the bombs and catch up to Barbossa. They end up fighting his pirate minions, while Jack is busy fighting Barbossa himself. Jack is distracted by Sora's yelling and is stabbed by Barbossa but does not die, because he had recently stolen a medallion and become cursed. Barbossa calls for Pete's help, who summons his special Heartless, the [[Illuminator]], which has the power to cause all light to go out.
They find Pete talking to Barbossa and fight his pirates. After a few tries they are hinted by Pete that the pirates are vulnerable in moonlight.


After defeating the pirates, Sora and Co. meet Will Turner and Jack Sparrow. They all join together to get back the Black Pearl and rescue Elizabeth Swann from being killed as part of Barbossa's plan to lift the curse.
They defeat the Illuminator and Barbossa, and Pete runs off again. Jack finally defeats Barbossa by shooting him. Barbossa knows he cannot die because he is with the living dead, but Jack throws Will a medallion with his blood on it. Will, who has a medallion with his blood on it also, drops the two medallions in the chest, which causes the curse to be lifted and Barbossa to be mortal. Barbossa then dies from the gunshot wound.  


Upon reaching Isla de Muerta, Jack and Will go ahead to get Elizabeth while Sora, Donald, and Goofy stay behind.
Afterward, everyone heads back to the ''Black Pearl'' and Jack's compass glows. Sora uses it to unlock another [[Gate]] to two worlds to explore, [[Agrabah]], and [[Halloween Town]].  
After a while Will runs out with Ms. Swann but not Jack.


Turns out the pirates needed Will's blood, the blood of a pirate.
On the second visit, Sora, Donald, Goofy and Jack discover that the medallion issue is not over. The pirates are back, still under the curse's influence. Elizabeth tells them that Will went to investigate Isla de Muerta and has not returned. Jack says he will not do anything unless he is rewarded for his efforts, which Elizabeth agrees to. While sailing, they find the ''Interceptor'' with Will aboard passed out.  


Barbossa and his pirates catch up and attack the Interceptor.
He recovers enough to tell them that a man in a [[black coat]] and white creatures stole the chest. Then [[Luxord]], an [[Organization XIII]] member, invades the ship and uses the [[Grim Reaper]] [[Heartless]] to attack the crew. They defeat it, but Luxord takes four Cursed Medallions and gives them to four [[Gambler]] [[Nobody|Nobodies]]. The Grim Reaper Heartless reappears and blows Sora, Donald, Goofy and Jack onto the ''Interceptor''. Luxord then fires at Interceptor with the Black Pearl's cannons.  


They leave everyone on the ship to fight heartless while they take Will with them to free the curse.
When Sora wakes up, he finds that Jack has been cursed and is now undead. After defeating a Gambler Nobody, they receive a [[Cursed Medallion]]. They travel around Port Royal and find three more Gambler Nobodies hidden around the Ship Graveyard and Isla de Muerta and steal the medallion each one holds. Once this is done, the trio plus Jack return to Port Royal and return the medallions, but Jack is still cursed. Goofy says that Jack was cursed by the Heartless, not because of the medallions.
Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Jack catch up to Barbossa and end up fighting his pirate minions, while Jack is busy fighting Barbossa himself.


Jack is distracted by Sora's yelling and is stabbed by Barbossa but doesn't die because he is cursed also.
To battle the Grim Reaper, Sora has to collect all 882 medallions and return them to the chest before being able to injure the Grim Reaper. After the battle, Luxord commends Sora on his defeat and takes the [[heart]] from the Grim Reaper Heartless. Jack is freed from the curse and knows of a way so the medallions will not be able to be used for evil again.  
Barbossa yells for Pete's help who calls in his special heartless, the Illuminator, which has the power to cause all light to go out.


They defeat the heartless and Barbossa and Pete runs off again.
Sora, Donald, Goofy, Jack, Will, and Elizabeth go out to sea to dump the chest. Jack then asks for his reward from Elizabeth and requests for Sora's [[Keyblade]]. Jack is unable to keep the Keyblade (as it returns to Sora), but Goofy says he might be able to someday, because Jack and Sora are a lot alike. Jack vows that one day he will form a bloodthirsty crew and steal the Keyblade.  


Jack finally defeats Barbossa after throwing a medallion with his blood on it to Will, who has a medallion with his own blood on it.
Some time after [[Xemnas]]'s defeat, Will, Elizabeth, and Jack sail on the ''Black Pearl''. As Jack steers, the moon comes out and Jack glances at his hand, verifying that he is still human.
 
Will drops the two medallions in the chest, which causes the curse to be lifted and Barbossa to be mortal.
Jack then shoots Barbossa and he dies.
 
Now that all is calm, everyone heads back to the Black pearl and Jack's compass glows.
 
Sora shoots a beam of light at it opening another path to a new world to explore.
 
=== Second Visit ===
 
On the second visit, Sora, Donald and Goofy discover that the medallion issue is far from over. They have to travel around Port Royal and find 4 Gambler Nobodies hidden around the Ship Graveyard and Isla de Muerta and steal the medallion each one holds. Once this is done, the trio plus Jack battle the evil Grim Reaper, who can only be attacked when all 882 medallions are in the chest.

As a side note, two characters (both important in the films), were referenced in the game. At the Fort in Port Royal, if Sora examines the cannons, he finds a note: "For use in pirate attacks - Commodore Norington." Norington was an English commodore who attempted to arrest and execute Jack for his pirate activity. Then, of course, the story acknowledges "Bootstrap Bill" Turner both as Will's father and the one member of Barbossa's crew who failed to pay the blood sacrifice, seeing as Barbossa strapped him to a cannon and threw him overboard. (Of course, if you've seen the other two movies, you know that Bootstrap escaped by making a pact with Davy Jones and is now in service on board the Flying Dutchman, but none of that has come up in the games yet. Possibly not ever.)

*As an inside joke, [[Sora]] mentions that Port Royal looks and feels stranger than any other world that they've ever visited before. Though the reason is never specifically stated, it is obvious that the reason is because everything ''but'' Sora, [[Donald]], [[Goofy]], [[Pete]], the [[Heartless]], [[Luxord]], and the [[Nobody|Nobodies]] in Port Royal are "realistic" instead of "cartoonish."  This was because as of yet Port Royal and [[Space Paranoids]] are the only worlds based off of a live-action movie.

Also, undead pirates do not catch fire and their guns have been changed to crossbows. And an interest note is the famous speech of Barbossa in the Black Pearl due to the total remove of the mention of lust and women.

Port Royal is a world that is featured in Kingdom Hearts II, based on Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. The world consists of Port Royal, Isla de Muerta, the Ship Graveyard, and the decks of the Interceptor and Black Pearl. The world's moonlight mechanic revolves around the Aztec curse from the film, and so much of the layout is designed to provide areas of shadow, which make the Undead Pirates invulnerable, and areas of moonlight where they can be defeated.

The world is expanded with The Caribbean from Kingdom Hearts III.

It follows Disney Castle in availability.

Development[edit]

In the NTSC and PAL version of Kingdom Hearts II some cutscenes have been edited, such as Will not aiming a gun to his head when he is threatening to commit suicide and Barbossa's sword is removed from Jack's chest. The medallion that Barbossa first uses to attempt to break the curse is only shown coated in blood in the respective scene, and is afterward untainted (in the original, the blood remains throughout the escapade.) Also, Barbossa's monologue with Elizabeth on the Black Pearl is edited to omit the mention of lust and women (however, the replacement, which talks of "pleasurable company" is actually the line as it appears in the original film). Gameplay wise, undead pirates do not catch fire, however, the Grim Reaper Heartless still does. The Rifle Pirates' muskets have been changed to crossbows, even though they still retain the original sound effect of a rifle shot. All of these changes carry over into the Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix build of the game. Strangely, the scene where Barbossa takes a drink from his wine bottle is kept in both versions, but this is the reason why the American version of the game is rated E+10 for alcohol use.

Settings and Areas[edit]

Kingdom Hearts II[edit]

Port Royal is divided into three main areas: the actual town of Port Royal, the cursed Isla de Muerta, and the Ship Graveyard. Traveling between locations centers around The Interceptor (インターセプター号 Intāseputā-gō?) and The Black Pearl (ブラックパール号 Burakku Pāru-gō?), and from the Gummi Ship, Sora can only land at the location where the ships are docked. Both ships can be attacked by pirates or monsters en route, but when he needs to escape, Sora can usually retreat inside the ship where enemies will not follow. These areas, the Interceptor's Ship's Hold (船倉 Sen-sō?, lit. "Hold") and The Black Pearl's Captain's Stateroom (船長室 Senchō-shitsu?, lit. "Captain's Cabin"), contain save points to quicken healing.

The wreckage from the Interceptor.

Sora and the gang land on the Rampart (高台 Kōdai?) of Port Royal's fort, which holds several defensive cannons. The town's prison can be seen from here, and the two sets of stairs lead to the rest of the island. Taking the left set of stairs, Sora arrives at the Harbor (港 Minato?), where he first encounters the undead pirates. From here, the bridge leads into the main Town (街 Machi?) area. Finally, a road leads from the Town to the other set of stairs back at the Rampart.

While fighting Barbossa, Sora and Jack must travel to Isla de Muerta (死の島 Shi no Shima?, lit. "Island of the Dead"), "an island that can not be found, except by those who already know where it is." Sailing the Interceptor, Sora's group first lands at the Rock Face (岸壁 Ganpeki?), an outcropping that leads to the inner caves. From the Cave Mouth (洞窟入口 Dōkutsu Iriguchi?, lit. "Cave Entrance"), Sora accesses the Powder Store (火薬置場 Kayaku Okiba?, lit. "Powder Yard"), where pirates wait in ambush behind explosive gunpowder crates. Sora must detonate these crates to create paths for the precious moonlight. Next is the Moonlight Nook (月明かりの間 Tsukiakari no Ma?, lit. "Chamber of Moonlight"), a small area that serves as a perfect battleground due to the abundance of moonlight, making it easy to defeat pirates. The last area of Isla de Muerta is the Treasure Heap (宝の山 Takara no Yama?, lit. "Treasure Mountain"), a cave where the pirates store all the treasure they have obtained within the years of their curse. In the center of the Treasure Heap is the stone chest containing the 882 cursed gold coins, where Sora and Jack have their final duel with Barbossa.

While tracking Luxord, Sora also gains access to the Ship Graveyard (船の墓場 Fune no Hakaba?), where the sea's currents have carried the wrecks of the many ships sunk in the vicinity of Isla de Muerta, including the Interceptor. Sora begins in The Interceptor's Hold (船倉 Sen-sō?, lit. "Hold"), one of the few remaining pieces of the ship. From here, Sora can go to Seadrift Row (がれきの道 Gareki no Michi?, lit. "Road of Rubble"), a long corridor consisting of the remains of destroyed ships. The last area is Seadrift Keep (がれきの砦 Gareki no Toride?, lit. "Fort of Rubble"), a shipwreck that bears a resemblance to a makeshift fort.

Story[edit]

Kingdom Hearts II[edit]

Sora, Donald, and Goofy arrive at Port Royal and notice something different about this world (being that the world and its citizens are based on a live action film, instead of cartoons). They find Pete talking to Captain Barbossa and fight his pirates. However, Sora and co's efforts are proven unsuccessful, as Pete hints that the pirates are vulnerable to the group's magic and moonlight. After defeating the pirates, Sora and company meet William Turner. He tells them that the Governor's daughter, Elizabeth Swann, was kidnapped by Barbossa. After watching them sail away, they meet Jack Sparrow who agrees to join them to rescue Elizabeth. He only agrees so he can hear Will's name and get back his ship, the Black Pearl.

Upon reaching Isla de Muerta, Jack and Will go ahead to save Elizabeth while Sora, Donald, and Goofy stay behind. After a while, Will appears with Elizabeth (but not Jack), fearing for her life, as she gave her name as "Elizabeth Turner". This means she would have the blood of Bootstrap Bill Turner, the one needed to lift the curse. She then tells how she took a cursed medallion from Will as a child so he would not be prosecuted as a pirate. Will reveals he had to attack Jack so he and Elizabeth could escape.

Barbossa and his pirates catch up and attack the Interceptor. Barbossa captures Elizabeth and Will threatens to kill himself and tells Barbossa that it is his blood he needs. Barbossa leaves Sora, Jack, Donald, Goofy, and Elizabeth on the ship, which is rigged to blow up and infested with Heartless, while he takes Will with him and his pirates to free themselves of the curse.

Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Jack clear the bombs and catch up to Barbossa. They end up fighting his pirate minions, while Jack is busy fighting Barbossa himself. Jack is distracted by Sora's yelling and is stabbed by Barbossa but does not die, because he had recently stolen a medallion and become cursed. Barbossa calls for Pete's help, who summons his special Heartless, the Illuminator, which has the power to cause all light to go out.

They defeat the Illuminator and Barbossa, and Pete runs off again. Jack finally defeats Barbossa by shooting him. Barbossa knows he cannot die because he is with the living dead, but Jack throws Will a medallion with his blood on it. Will, who has a medallion with his blood on it also, drops the two medallions in the chest, which causes the curse to be lifted and Barbossa to be mortal. Barbossa then dies from the gunshot wound.

Afterward, everyone heads back to the Black Pearl and Jack's compass glows. Sora uses it to unlock another Gate to two worlds to explore, Agrabah, and Halloween Town.

On the second visit, Sora, Donald, Goofy and Jack discover that the medallion issue is not over. The pirates are back, still under the curse's influence. Elizabeth tells them that Will went to investigate Isla de Muerta and has not returned. Jack says he will not do anything unless he is rewarded for his efforts, which Elizabeth agrees to. While sailing, they find the Interceptor with Will aboard passed out.

He recovers enough to tell them that a man in a black coat and white creatures stole the chest. Then Luxord, an Organization XIII member, invades the ship and uses the Grim Reaper Heartless to attack the crew. They defeat it, but Luxord takes four Cursed Medallions and gives them to four Gambler Nobodies. The Grim Reaper Heartless reappears and blows Sora, Donald, Goofy and Jack onto the Interceptor. Luxord then fires at Interceptor with the Black Pearl's cannons.

When Sora wakes up, he finds that Jack has been cursed and is now undead. After defeating a Gambler Nobody, they receive a Cursed Medallion. They travel around Port Royal and find three more Gambler Nobodies hidden around the Ship Graveyard and Isla de Muerta and steal the medallion each one holds. Once this is done, the trio plus Jack return to Port Royal and return the medallions, but Jack is still cursed. Goofy says that Jack was cursed by the Heartless, not because of the medallions.

To battle the Grim Reaper, Sora has to collect all 882 medallions and return them to the chest before being able to injure the Grim Reaper. After the battle, Luxord commends Sora on his defeat and takes the heart from the Grim Reaper Heartless. Jack is freed from the curse and knows of a way so the medallions will not be able to be used for evil again.

Sora, Donald, Goofy, Jack, Will, and Elizabeth go out to sea to dump the chest. Jack then asks for his reward from Elizabeth and requests for Sora's Keyblade. Jack is unable to keep the Keyblade (as it returns to Sora), but Goofy says he might be able to someday, because Jack and Sora are a lot alike. Jack vows that one day he will form a bloodthirsty crew and steal the Keyblade.

Some time after Xemnas's defeat, Will, Elizabeth, and Jack sail on the Black Pearl. As Jack steers, the moon comes out and Jack glances at his hand, verifying that he is still human.
