Mutiny on the Queen Anne's Revenge

"I thought I should give you fair warning: we're taking the ship." "Desgraciado!" "It's nothing personal!" "Sparrow ven aqui o te arranco la cabeza!" "You might be better off if you just..." "Ya!" [shoves sword into door] "...stay out of it."

- Jack Sparrow and Angelica

The Mutiny on the Queen Anne's Revenge was an act of rebellion by some of the crewmen aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge, led by Jack Sparrow.

Aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge
"Good news, gentlemen. This is not Blackbeard's ship. This is not the Queen Anne's Revenge&mdash;" "This be the Queen Anne's Revenge, right enough." "How do you know?" "I've seen the name, on the back of the ship."

- Jack Sparrow and Scrum

After escaping a skirmish with King George's men in the Captain's Daughter tavern, Jack Sparrow was forced aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge by Angelica. While Angelica did her duties as First Mate, Jack was forced to work as a deckhand in a crew full of humans and zombies. As he worked, Jack befriended Scrum, a fellow crewman aboard. That night, Jack met with Scrum and some of the other crewmembers to convince them to join a mutiny. During the meeting, Jack told the crewmen that their true destination was towards the Fountain of Youth. The crew were shocked by this revelation and knew that their deaths would come for certain, unless they took the ship. Jack ordered the crew to go and take the ship, in which they woke up some of the other crewmen and started their attack.

Fair warning
"Jack...if this is a dream, you can keep the sword and boots on. If it's not&mdash;" "It's a dream." [Swords clashing outside] "...No, it's not!"

- Angelica and Jack Sparrow



Shortly before the fighting started, not wanting Angelica to be in the middle of the oncoming battle, Jack went to Angelica's cabin to make sure she was safe. When he walked in, he saw that Angelica was sleeping, so he quietly attempted to grab a sword and a pair of boots. Angelica then whispered to Jack that if this was a dream, he could keep the sword and boots. Jack responded by reassuring her that it was a dream, until Angelica heard some of the fighting on deck. Jack then warned her that he was taking the ship. Angelica pulls out a sword and curses at Jack as he walks out of the room. After Jack closed the door and locked it, Angelica stabs her sword through the door, merely an inch close to Jack's head.

Taking the ship
"Fight to the bitter end, you cack-handed deck apes!"

- Jack Sparrow



The mutiny began intensely as crewmen fought against crewman, humans against zombies. Many of the crewmen, including Scrum and the cabin boy fought against the Quartermaster who wasn't easily defeated. As Jack Sparrow waltzed into the battle, he was confronted by Gunner and dueled with him. As their fight went on, Angelica escaped her cabin and ran to the main deck to join the fight. She pulled out a sword and fought against Jack's crew. "You're either with us or against us!" "I'm not with you neither am I against you." "Can he do that?" "He's religious. I believe it's required."

- Salaman, Philip Swift and Jack Sparrow



Gunner attacked fiercely at Jack, who was able to counter his attacks one by one, until Salaman threw a net that caught on to him. Jack then nodded to Salaman to join him in saving Philip Swift, a missionary held captive by being tied on top of the mainmast. As they climbed up the rigging, Angelica continued fighting against the mutinous crew with rage. Up on the mast, Jack and Salaman climb to Philip's position. Salaman holds a knife to Philip's chin and tells him that he's either with them or against them, to which Philp responds that he's neither with them or against them. Salaman asks Jack if he could do it, Jack states that he believes it's required because he's religious. Philip is cut free by Jack and they make it down to the continuing battle. As Jack made it to the main deck, he is confronted by the Quartermaster, and dueled with him towards the stairway. After a few attacks, Jack kicked the Quartermaster to the ground, ordered his crew to tie him down and made his way to the upper deck. "The ship is ours!"

- Jack Sparrow to his fellow mutineers

As the fighting intensified, the moment of victory was at hand for the mutineers. Seeing that their enemies, mainly Angelica, the Quartermaster and Gunner, were held back, Jack declared to his co-conspirators that the Queen Anne's Revenge was theirs.

Fate befalling mutineers
"Aye. Mutiny. And what fate befalls mutineers? Now we know the answer to that, do we not? Mutineers...Hang!"

- Blackbeard



However, the doors right behind Jack Sparrow opened and everyone of the mutineers stared in fear as Blackbeard himself walked out of the smoked-filled cabin, with his beard covered in smoke, drinking a bottle of rum. Blackbeard stated his bewilderment of the situation, as he peers over the edge of the rail to look around. He touches the hilt of his sword as he tells of how he heard an ungodly row on deck, with men taking the ship for themselves, as he was resting. As he touches the sword, the Queen Anne's Revenge's ropes started to slide around, slithering up and down the rigging. Jack leans forward and looks up to see more of the ropes, and some of the dangling skeletons, moving above his head. Blackbeard asks Angelica what she would call this situation, and she shouts to him that it's a mutiny.

Upon this revelation, as the ship's ropes inches towards the legs of the mutineers, Blackbeard pulls out his sword as he asks the crew what fate befalls mutineers. He raises his sword as he yells their fate as "Mutineers...Hang!", as Jack and the other members of his party are thrown forward as the Queen Anne's Revenge sails at full speed. Blackbeard points his sword at some of his mutinous crewmen as more of the ship's ropes grab other crewmen. Scrum and another pirate were knocked together at their backs. One of the ropes catches the Cook by his waist. Blackbeard moves his sword towards his left towards a crewmember attempting to jump overboard. The Cabin boy was also caught by the ropes. Finally, the Queen Anne's Revenge sailed in normal speed as the majority of the crewmen are entangled in the air, with Blackbeard resting his sword on his shoulder.

Punishment
"If I don't kill a man every now and then, they forget who I am."

- Blackbeard to Angelica



Jack Sparrow hangs upside down, in front of Blackbeard, and attempts to report the mutiny. Blackbeard debunks the claim, however, knowing that he was the leader. He puts his sword away into his scabbard, after which the ropes releases Jack to fall onto the deck. As the rest of the mutineers hung over him, Blackbeard prepared to punish other participants of the mutiny, starting with Philip Swift. He pulled his pistol towards the missionary, but he was stopped by Angelica.

Blackbeard then asked who was on post before the mutiny started. Jack stated that he was, but Blackbeard scoffed at the statement and pulled his attention to the Cook, who was still hanging on the ropes. Blackbeard had the Cook cut down and sent him aboard a longboat and order his men to prepare the fire cannons. As soon as the Cook rowed a couple of yards away from the Queen Anne's Revenge, Blackbeard ordered the crew to fire the cannons at the Cook. After a few firings, the Cook was killed and brought back to life&mdash;as a zombie.
