{{Quote|Feast your eyes, Captain. All of them, faithful hands [[before the mast]]. Every man worth his salt. And crazy to boot.|[[Joshamee Gibbs]] to [[Jack Sparrow]]|Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl}}
The '''Motley crew'''<ref name="CVG">''[[Pirates of the Caribbean: The Complete Visual Guide]]'', pg. 38-39: "A Motley Crew"</ref> was a [[pirate]] crew, most notably as part of the [[Crew of the Black Pearl|crew]] of the ''[[Black Pearl]]''. Drunken pirates, the crew was led by [[Captain]] [[Jack Sparrow]], and his [[first mate]], [[Joshamee Gibbs]].

Originally, the crew was recruited during Jack's attempt to retake the ''[[Black Pearl]]'' from [[Hector Barbossa]] and [[Cursed crew|his crew]]. These men later participated in Jack's search for the [[Dead Man's Chest]]. During the [[War Against Piracy]], the crew was led by both Jack Sparrow and Hector Barbossa in their journey to meet with the [[Brethren Court]]. After the war, Barbossa led the crew in taking the ''Pearl'' from Jack. The crew had been on a number of adventures, some involving the [[supernatural]].

====Recruiting a Crew====
{{Quote|I'll find us a crew. There's bound to be some sailors on this rock, crazy as you."<br>"One can only hope. Take what you can."<br>"Give nothin' back.|[[Joshamee Gibbs]] and [[Jack Sparrow]]|Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl}}
With the help of [[William Turner Jr.|Will Turner]], [[Captain]] [[Jack Sparrow]] was able to commandeer [[Commodore]] [[James Norrington]]'s ship of the [[British Royal Navy]], the [[HMS Interceptor|HMS ''Interceptor'']]. In their attempt to save [[Elizabeth Swann]], daughter of [[Governor]] [[Weatherby Swann]], from the clutches of the [[cursed crew]] of the ''[[Black Pearl]]'', led by [[Hector Barbossa]], Jack and Will would set sail for [[Tortuga]]. There, they met with [[Joshamee Gibbs]], who agreed to help Jack in finding a crew.<ref name="CotBP">''[[Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl]]''</ref>
[[File:CotBPMotleycrewCrazytoboot.jpg|thumb|right|300px|[[Jack Sparrow]] inspecting his new crew.]]

By the next day, after agreeing to be Jack's [[first mate]], Gibbs had managed to bring together a ragtag group of [[sailor]]s to help crew the ''Interceptor''. A disheveled, motley and weather-beaten group of about a dozen swabs, they stood on the docks, awaiting Captain Sparrow's approval. Jack walked down the line, stopping periodically to question the men. Behind him followed Will, an unimpressed look on his face. Indeed, it was not the most stellar crew, including [[Marty]] the dwarf and [[Cotton]]. Gibbs informed Jack that Cotton was a mute, having had his tongue cut out; so through unknown methods, he trained [[Cotton's parrot|his parrot]] to talk for him.

One sailor shouted a question to the captain, "What is the benefit for us?" Walking over, Jack was then reunited with [[Anamaria]], who slapped him across the face, causing Will to smirk. But Jack deserved it, as he had "borrowed" [[Jolly Mon|her boat]] without permission. Unfortunately, Jack knew Anamaria was a good sailor, and that he needed her onboard. With some help from Will, who promised Anamaria the ''Interceptor'', Anamaria was convinced to join the crew. And so, aside from Gibbs' warning of having a woman aboard, Jack now had a crew that would help him sail for Isla de Muerta and the ''Black Pearl''.<ref name="CotBP"/>

====Voyage to Isla de Muerta====
{{Quote|We should drop canvas, sir."<br>"She can hold a bit longer."<br>"What's in your head that's put you in such a fine mood, captain?"<br>"We're catching up.|[[Joshamee Gibbs]] and [[Jack Sparrow]]|Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl}}
While Will doubted their skill, Jack knew he needed a crew crazy enough have the courage and fortitude to embark on this venture. Although Gibbs had his superstition about having Anamaria, as it was bad luck to bring a woman aboard, Jack glanced at the sky as he said "it'd be far worse not to have her." He believed he needed as much help as possible for the coming storm. A flash of lightning, and a crack of thunder, as the ''Interceptor'' sailed through the storm. On board, the new crew members scurried about with their tasks. Excellent sailors, it took everything they had to keep the ship afloat. With Jack Sparrow using his [[Jack Sparrow's compass|mythical compass]] at the [[helm]], the ''Interceptor'' was able to catch up with [[Hector Barbossa|Barbossa]]'s [[Cursed crew|crew]] in their quest towards [[Isla de Muerta]]. While the ''Interceptor'' was drawing closer to the island, the ''Black Pearl'' had already arrived.<ref name="CotBP"/>

At some point during the journey, the ''Interceptor'' encountered the British merchant vessel ''[[Earl King]]'', captained by [[McGlue]]. Jack and Will disguised as [[British Royal Navy|Royal Navy]] officers and boarded the ''King'', but Captain McGlue realized that they're pirates. The crew of the ''Interceptor'' boarded the ''King'', captured the entire crew, and looted the ship.<ref name="TAP">''[[The Accidental Pirate!]]''</ref>
[[File:CotBPMotleycrewWelcomeaboardMissElizabeth.jpg|thumb|left|310px|The crew after rescues [[Elizabeth Swann]].]]

Shortly after arriving to Isla de Muerta, Jack and Will prepared to row ashore on a small longboat. Before leaving to the rocky shore, Jack gave Gibbs one explicit instruction if the worse should happen: "Keep to the [[Code of the Pirate Brethren|Code]]". The longboat later returned, Will came aboard with [[Elizabeth Swann]], but without Jack, whom Will knocked out and left for Barbossa's crew to find. Gibbs asked Will what happened to Jack, but Will only said he fell behind. Honoring Jack's instructions, Gibbs gave the order to keep to the Code and set sail.<ref name="CotBP"/>

====Battle with the ''Black Pearl''====
{{Quote|Lower the anchor on the right side. On the starboard side!"<br>"It certainly has the element of surprise."<br>"You're daft, lady! You both are!"<br>"Daft like Jack! Lower the starboard anchor! Do it, you dogs, or it's you we'll load into the cannons!|[[Elizabeth Swann]], [[William Turner Jr.|Will Turner]], [[Anamaria]] and [[Joshamee Gibbs]]|Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl}}
When the ''[[Black Pearl]]'' started to chase the ''Interceptor'', the crew showed what it can do. Despite never having sailed before, Elizabeth came up with some ideas to help them gain speed and win vital minutes to prepare for [[Destruction of the Interceptor|battle]]. But because they had thrown all the cannonballs overboard, while throwing away cargo to help the ship go faster, Will quickly told Gibbs they should load the guns with whatever they had left. In response, "Case shot and langrage! Nails and crushed glass!" Gibbs shouted to the crew. With Anamaria at the helm, the crew followed Gibbs' orders with the ideas from Will and Elizabeth, including [[clubhauling]] the ''Interceptor'' to put the ship at parallel with the ''Pearl''. By the time the ''Interceptor'' stopped pivoting, the crews were manning the cannons at the ready for a fight. When they open fire on the ''Black Pearl'', the cursed pirate [[Ragetti]] was the first to taste this strange ammunition&mdash;a [[fork]] hits his [[Ragetti's wooden eye|wooden eye]].<ref name="CotBP"/>
[[File:CotBPMotleycrewattackingPearl.jpg|thumb|right|290px|The [[HMS Interceptor|''Interceptor'']] crew [[Destruction of the Interceptor|battling]] with the [[Cursed crew|cursed pirates]] of the ''[[Black Pearl]]''.]]

The fight was in full force as Will realized they were after and went belowdecks in search of the medallion. Suddenly, with a loud creak, the mast of the ''Interceptor'' snapped, sending it crashing down. Barbossa ordered his men to board the ''Interceptor'' to find the medallion. Every crewmen engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat, in which the ''Interceptor'' crew fought to hold off the cursed pirates. Jack Sparrow would soon appear, having escaped from the ''Pearl'''s [[Codex:B#Brig|brig]], and hurried across to the ''Interceptor'' amidst the battle. After meeting with Elizabeth, Jack see Barbossa's [[monkey]] with the medallion and chased after him back to Barbossa himself, who revealed that they named the monkey "[[Jack (monkey)|Jack]]". By this time, Jack's entire crew was captured, except for Will, who was trapped in the hold of the ''Interceptor''.<ref name="CotBP"/>
[[File:WillNegotiatesCotBP.jpg|thumb|left|300px|[[William Turner Jr.|Will Turner]] negotiating to [[Hector Barbossa|Barbossa]].]]

Two of Barbossa's crewmen poured out [[gunpowder]] to act as a fuse, and set the ''Interceptor'' to blow. The motley crew were tied up to the ''Pearl'' as they were forced to watch their ship explode in front of their eyes. After the Interceptor exploded, Will Turner, who was able to escape the ''Interceptor'''s hold appeared in front of Barbossa's crew. Revealing himself to be the son of [[Bootstrap Bill Turner]], someone Barbossa's crew needed to lift their [[Curse of the Aztec Gold|curse]], Will negotiated with Barbossa with the following terms: Elizabeth was to be set free, and the motley crew were not to be harmed. Barbossa agreed to his terms, but turned them into his favor.<ref name="CotBP"/>

====Return to Isla de Muerta====
{{Quote|What about Jack? Are you gonna leave him?"<br>"Jack owes us a ship."<br>"There's the Code to consider."<br>"The Code? You're pirates. Hang the Code, and hang the rules! They're more like guidelines anyway.|[[Elizabeth Swann]], [[Marty]], and [[Joshamee Gibbs]]|Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl}}[[File:CotBPGibbsGoodman.jpg|thumb|300px|The crew locked in the ''Black Pearl'''s [[Brig (prison)|brig]].]]

After marooning Jack Sparrow and Elizabeth Swann at [[Rumrunner's Isle]], Barbossa had Will and the motley crew sent to the [[Brig (prison)|brig]] as the ''Black Pearl'' made way for Isla de Muerta. Along the way, during their imprisonment, the crew listened to [[Pintel]] and [[Ragetti]]'s tale of what happened to Bootstrap Bill to Will Turner. As the ''Pearl'' arrived to Isla de Muerta, the crew watched as Barbossa's crew took Will with them to the island. While the crew sat in the brig, two of Barbossa's men, [[Grapple]] and [[Mallot]], stood guard aboard the ''Pearl''.<ref name="CotBP"/>
[[File:CotBPMotleycrewawkwardsilenceafterLizzyspeech.jpg|thumb|left|300px|The crew after taking control of the ''Black Pearl''.]]

The crew would still be sitting in the ''Pearl'''s brig by the time the [[battle of the Isla de Muerta]] commenced; a battle which ultimately led the curse upon Barbossa's men to be lifted and the death of Barbossa himself. During the battle, the crew would soon be visited by their rescuer: Elizabeth Swann, who, along with Jack Sparrow, was rescued by [[Commodore]] [[James Norrington|Norrington]]'s men aboard the ''[[HMS Dauntless|Dauntless]]''. Free at last, the crew assisted Elizabeth in taking out Grapple and Mallot; the ''Black Pearl'' was theirs. Although Elizabeth wanted to row ashore to help Will and Jack in battle, the motley crew decided to take the ''Pearl'' for themselves. Because of this action, Jack was left without a ship, forcing him to sail under Norrington's custody to [[Port Royal]] to be hanged. Although he was betrayed, Jack was glad that his crew kept to the Pirate's Code.<ref name="CotBP"/>

===Misadventures===
====Rescue at Fort Charles====
{{Quote|Thought you were supposed to keep to the Code."<br>"We figured they were more actual...guidelines.|[[Jack Sparrow]] and [[Joshamee Gibbs]]|Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl}}[[File:CotBPMotleycrewmeetsJackaboardBlackPearl.jpg|thumb|right|300px|The crew aboard the ''Black Pearl''.]]

By the day of Jack Sparrow's hanging at [[Fort Charles]], the entire crew had a change of heart and decided to save their captain from the gallows. Before Jack was hung, Will Turner helped Jack escape from his hanging. This escape would end with Jack falling off the fort and landing into the ocean. Luckily, the ''Black Pearl'' sailed from the other side of the island, where Jack could swim towards it. The crew helped Jack aboard and gave Jack command of the ''Black Pearl'' once again. As Captain Jack Sparrow took the helm, the crew prepared to set sail for new adventures.<ref name="CotBP"/>

For the next year, the crew of the ''Black Pearl'' had been on many different adventures, whether it was fighting other pirates and the Royal Navy, searched for treasures, and captured merchant ships.<ref>Various ''[[Disney Adventures]]'' comics</ref> At some point, the crew managed to narrowly escaped Norrington's pursuit off of [[Tripoli]] by sailing into a hurricane. The crew would also try to find [[Isla de Muerta]], where they would retrieve its treasure, but they would soon discover that the entire island was taken by the sea along with its treasure. Only Barbossa's monkey [[Jack (monkey)|Jack]] would survive this ordeal, having been [[Curse of the Aztec Gold|cursed]] once more, and find his way aboard the ''Pearl''.<ref name="DMC">''[[Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest]]''</ref>

===Search for the Dead Man's Chest===
====Honest Pirating====
{{Quote|Is that how you're all feeling, then? That perhaps dear ol' Jack is not serving your best interests as captain?<br>"Walk the plank!"<br>"What did the bird say?!|[[Jack Sparrow]] and [[Cotton's parrot]]|Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest}}
[[File:DMCIsthathowyoureallfeeling.jpg|thumb|left|300px|The crew confronting Jack aboard the ''Pearl''.]]
About a year after the crew rescued Jack Sparrow from the gallows, Jack had begun his search for the [[Dead Man's Chest]], as his debt with [[Davy Jones]] was due. However, Jack wasn't intending to surrender his [[soul]] to Jones, so he planned to find the chest so he could use the [[heart of Davy Jones]] to gain control over Jones himself. After escaping from the [[Turkish prison]], Jack arrived aboard the ''Black Pearl'', where his crew confronted him regarding a matter of them not doing a speck of "honest [[Pirate|pirating]]", to a point where [[Cotton's parrot]] suggested that Jack [[walk the plank]]. It was at that moment, after a brief dealing with [[Jack (monkey)|Jack the monkey]], that Jack Sparrow revealed what he retrieved from the prison, a piece of cloth with a [[Drawing of the key to the Dead Man's Chest|drawing of a key]]. Though they were initially confused by the meaning of the drawing, the ''Pearl'''s crew realized they were to find the key. And so Jack gave them their next heading using [[Jack Sparrow's compass|his compass]], though seeming unsure of their next direction. [[Marty]] and [[Joshamee Gibbs|Gibbs]] discussed Jack's strange behavior as the ''Black Pearl'' sailed through the stormy night.<ref name="DMC"/>

Later that night, Jack met with [[Bootstrap Bill Turner]] aboard the ''Black Pearl''. Jack was given the [[Black Spot]] as Bootstrap Bill warned him that [[Davy Jones]] was sending the [[Kraken]] to pursue him. Realizing that it's not safe in the open ocean, Jack ordered the crew of the ''Pearl'' to head for the nearest land, a decision they would later regret.<ref name="DMC"/>

====Cannibal Island====
{{Quote|Where's the rest of the crew?"<br>"These cages we're in? weren't built 'til ''after'' we got here.|[[William Turner Jr.|Will Turner]] and [[Joshamee Gibbs]]|Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest}}[[File:Gibbs_Bonecage.jpg|thumb|310px|The crew stuck in bone cages on [[Isla de Pelegostos]].]]
The ''Black Pearl'' would sail to the nearest island, [[Isla de Pelegostos]], where Jack Sparrow believed himself to be safe. However, soon after arriving on the island, the entire crew was captured by the cannibalistic tribe known as the [[Pelegostos]]. Believing that Jack was a [[god]] in human form, the Pelegostos made Jack their chief, thereby giving him the fate of being their sacrifice, in which he would be roasted and eaten in a feast. During Jack's time as chief, his crew would be locked in two bone cages, which were made from the bones of some members of Jack's crew, who were eaten by the cannibal tribe, after their arrival to the island.<ref name="DMC"/>

{{Quote|Come on men! It'll take all of us to crew the Black Pearl!"<br>"Actually, you wouldn't need everyone! About six would do.|[[William Turner Jr.|Will Turner]] and [[Leech]]|Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest}}
[[File:DMCBonecageswing2.jpg|thumb|left|300px|The crew attempts to escape.]]

[[William Turner Jr.|Will Turner]] later came to the island in search of Jack Sparrow. Upon finding Jack as the chief of the Pelegostos, Will was sent into one of the bone cages along with the surviving crew members of the ''Black Pearl''. While the cages hung over a ravine, Gibbs informed Will of Jack's situation with the Pelegostos. Saying that they just couldn't stay and wait, Will had the crew attempt to swing their cages across the chasm to climb up the other side. However, [[Leech]] and his crewmembers started to compete with Will and Gibbs' crew, which ultimately led Leech's cage to plummet into the ravine. This event drew the attention of a [[Native Bridge Guard|cannibal sentry]], who then ran to warn the other villagers. After Will, Gibbs and the rest of the surviving crew members managed to go over the cliff, they found themselves being pursued by almost all of the Pelegostos tribe. The crew were soon able to escape after a [[Cannibal boy|cannibal boy]] appeared, after which the tribe left.<ref name="DMC"/>
[[File:DMCPintelandRagettijoinsMotleycrew.jpg|thumb|right|300px|[[Pintel]] and [[Ragetti]] join Jack's crew.]]

With haste, the crew ran towards the ''Black Pearl'', which was riding in shallow water, after being made ready for sailing by former [[Curse of the Aztec Gold|cursed]] members of [[Hector Barbossa|Barbossa]]'s [[Cursed crew|crew]], [[Pintel]] and [[Ragetti]], who were attempting to take the ''Pearl'' for themselves. Jack arrived to the ''Pearl'' just after having been chased by the entire Pelegostos tribe. As the crew made ready to sail, Will told Jack of his mission to retrieve Jack's compass in exchange for the [[freedom]] of [[Elizabeth Swann]], who was locked in [[Fort Charles prison|prison]]. Jack agreed to help Will only if he would assist Jack in finding the [[Key to the Dead Man's Chest|key]] from his [[Drawing of the key to the Dead Man's Chest|piece of cloth]]. And so the crew sailed for [[Cuba]].<ref name="DMC"/>

====Dealing with Davy Jones====
{{Quote|It seems we have a need to find the ''Flying Dutchman''.|[[William Turner Jr.|Will Turner]] to [[Tia Dalma]]|Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest}}
[[File:Tia Dalma meeting.png|thumb|left|300px|The crew meeting with [[Tia Dalma]].]]
Sailing through the [[Pantano River]], the crew arrived to the [[Cypress Forest]] where they would seek help from the [[voodoo]] priestess [[Tia Dalma]]. As payment for her help, Jack presented [[Jack (monkey)|Jack the monkey]], who his crew caught prior to this visit. After Will questioned Tia Dalma about the key, Tia Dalma told Jack, Will and the crew about the known [[Story of Davy Jones and Calypso|legend of Davy Jones]], particularly the fact that he cut out his own [[Heart of Davy Jones|heart]], locked it in a [[Dead Man's Chest|chest]] and hid it. She also pointed out that the key, which was represented in Jack's piece of cloth, was kept with Jones himself at all times. It was then that Tia Dalma revealed that Jack was marked with the Black Spot, which frightened the superstitious crew. After giving Jack a [[jar of dirt]], Tia Dalma provided the crew with the whereabouts of Jones' ship, the ''[[Flying Dutchman]]''.<ref name="DMC"/>
[[File:DMCJonesYouvebeencaptainforyears.jpg|thumb|right|300px|[[Davy Jones]]' [[Crew of the Flying Dutchman|crew]] confronting Jack's crew.]]

The crew then sailed immediately to an archipelago where the found a [[scuttled ship]] they believed to be the ''Flying Dutchman''. Jack sent Will to the ship, only to find the real ''Flying Dutchman'' appearing and Will captured. Shortly afterwards, Davy Jones himself confronted Jack aboard the ''Black Pearl'', and the motley crew being held hostage by [[Crew of the Flying Dutchman|Jones' crew]]. This led to a negotiation between the two captains, which ended with Jones removing the [[Black Spot]] from Jack's hand, Will Turner press-ganged into Jones' crew, and Jack was given the task to collect 99 souls in three days. After Jones left, Gibbs asked Jack on how he planned to collect that many souls in three days. Jack then ordered for the ''Pearl'' set sail to their next destination, ''"[[Tortuga]]!"''<ref name="DMC"/>

====Finding the Chest====
{{Quote|That chest must be worth more than a shiny penny."<br>"Oh! Tsk-tsk-tsk. Terrible temptation."<br>"If we was any kind of decent, we'd remove temptation from their path.|[[Pintel]] and [[Ragetti]]|Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest}}
[[File:DMCJackWehaveourheading.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Jack with two of his new crewmembers, [[Elizabeth Swann]] and [[James Norrington]].]]
The ''Black Pearl'' made port in [[Tortuga]] with the intent of recruiting enough crewmen to give to Davy Jones' payment. Jack and Gibbs would go into the ''[[Faithful Bride]]'' tavern, where they were able to recruit four crewmen before being threatened by former-[[commodore]] [[James Norrington]], who threatened both Gibbs and Jack for losing his life at the [[British Royal Navy|Royal Navy]] during his pursuit against them. Although Jack had Norrington hired, Norrington still wanted to kill Jack. While Norrington started a brawl, Jack and Gibbs made their escape and returned to the ''Pearl'' as it was loading up at the docks. It was there that they met with [[Elizabeth Swann]], who was accompanied by Norrington. Telling Elizabeth of Will Turner's current predicament of being in Davy Jones' crew, Jack convinced her that the only way to save Will was to find the [[Dead Man's Chest]]. After finding their heading, the ''Black Pearl'' sailed for [[Isla Cruces]], where the chest was located.<ref name="DMC"/>
[[File:Isla Cruces duel 18.png|thumb|right|320px|The crew whilst [[Battle of the Isla Cruces|fighting]] at Isla Cruces.]]

Jack, Elizabeth, and Norrington came to the island, where they would find the Dead Man's Chest and meet with Will Turner, who was able to escape from the ''Flying Dutchman''. Before Will could use the [[Key to the Dead Man's Chest|key to the chest]], which he was successfully able to take from Davy Jones, a three-way [[duel]] ensued between Jack, Will, and Norrington. This simple fight for the key turned into a [[Battle of the Isla Cruces|battle for the chest]] upon the arrival of Jones' crewmen. Ultimately, Jones' crew had won the chest with the key, and Jack believed he had the [[heart of Davy Jones]] in his [[jar of dirt]]. However, Norrington had taken the heart into his possession, in which he would deliver the heart to [[Lord]] [[Cutler Beckett]] of the [[East India Trading Company]].<ref name="DMC"/>

====Kraken Attack====
{{Quote|It's after you, not the ship. It's not us. This is the only way, don't you see? I'm not sorry."<br>"...Pirate.|[[Elizabeth Swann]] and [[Jack Sparrow]]|Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest}}[[File:DMCWilltakescommandKrakenbattle.jpg|thumb|left|300px|The crew preparing to face the [[Kraken]].]]
As the crew of the ''Black Pearl'' prepared to make sail, the ''Flying Dutchman'' emerged from the sea and opened fire at the ''Pearl''. With the wind giving the ''Black Pearl'' enough speed, the crew barely escaped the ''Dutchman'' and its [[chase gun|triple cannons]]. The crew would then run afoul of the [[Kraken]], sent by Davy Jones to destroy the ''Pearl''. Jack initially attempted to abandon the ''Pearl'' and its crew while he raced for land, but found he could not go through with this cowardly plan, and returned to the ''Pearl''. While the crew was able to [[Skirmish off of the Isla Cruces|defeat]] the Kraken twice, only eight of Jack's crewmembers survived. The ''Black Pearl'' suffered heavy damage by the Kraken's second attack. With the likelihood of another attack from the Kraken, Jack ordered his crew to [[abandon ship]]. And so the rest of the crew prepared to get away as they loaded onto the ''Black Pearl'''s last remaining [[Black Pearl longboat|longboat]].<ref name="DMC"/>
[[File:Longboat rescuecrew.jpg|thumb|right|325px|The crew watching the Kraken take down the ''Pearl''.]]

As the crew prepared the longboat to cast off, Elizabeth Swann informed the crew that Jack chose to stay behind on the ''Pearl'' to give them a chance to escape. However, in reality, Jack was cunningly tricked into being handcuffed to the ''Pearl'''s mainmast by Elizabeth, having realized that the Kraken was only interested in going after Jack, not the ship nor its crew. Sailing away on the longboat, the crew watched as the Kraken appeared and dragged the ''Black Pearl'', along with its captain, down to the crushing depths of the ocean.<ref name="DMC"/>

====A New Captain====
{{Quote|Would you do it? Hm? What would you...hm? What would any of you be willing to do, hm? Would you sail to the ends of the Eart' and beyond, to fetch back witty Jack and him precious ''Pearl''?|[[Tia Dalma]]|Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest}}
[[File:Crew waiting for a new captain.png|thumb|left|325px|The crew meeting their [[Hector Barbossa|new captain]].]]
Defeated, the remaining survivors of the motley crew arrived to [[Tia Dalma]]'s [[Tia Dalma's shack|shack]] to take refuge as Tia Dalma offered the crew comfort on losing the ''Pearl'' and their captain. The crew would mourn the loss of Jack Sparrow, until Tia Dalma asked the crew if they were willing to go to the ends of the earth and beyond to save Jack and the ''Pearl''. Though such a chance seemed impossible, the dishearten crew unanimously agreed to take the chance. Seeing that the crew were willing to "brave the weird and haunted shores at [[Farthest Gate|world's end]]", Tia Dalma then presented the crew to their new captain who would lead them on this voyage: a resurrected [[Hector Barbossa]], who then asked what had become of [[Black Pearl|his ship]].<ref name="DMC"/>

===War Against Piracy===
====Singapore====
{{Quote|None of that. If things don't go the way we want, then we're the only chance they got.|[[Joshamee Gibbs]] to [[Ragetti]]|Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End}}
[[File:Gibbs and crew handing weapons.png|thumb|right|300px|The crew with weapons at [[Singapore]].]]
Before they could go and save Jack Sparrow, the crew sailed for [[Singapore]]. There, they would attempt to steal the [[Mao Kun map|navigational charts]], that had the map to the [[Davy Jones' Locker|Land of the Dead]], belonging to [[Sao Feng]], the [[Pirate Lord]] of the Singapore. Captain Barbossa and Elizabeth would meet with Sao Feng in [[Sao Feng's bath house|his bathhouse]]. But Barbossa would not take any chances in meeting him; he had [[Tia Dalma]] hide outside as a common hawker, while most of the remaining crew infiltrated the bathhouse in case things didn't go well in the negotiations. The meeting with Sao Feng went well until Feng discovered Barbossa's deception. Barbossa explained his reason for doing so, in saving Jack Sparrow so that the [[Brethren Court]] could convene to stand against [[Lord]] [[Cutler Beckett]], who used the [[Heart of Davy Jones|heart]] of [[Davy Jones]] to accelerate his plans to wipe piracy from the world. Sao Feng then noticed [[Steng|one of his men]] with a fake tattoo&mdash;undoubtedly a spy in their midst. With a call of "Weapons!", both Feng's Chinese pirates and Barbossa's crew drew their weapons, not realizing of the spy's true alliance.<ref name="AWE">''[[Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End]]''</ref>
[[File:AWECrewbeforeleavingSingapore.jpg|thumb|left|300px|The crew having retrieved [[Sao Feng]]'s [[Mao Kun map|map]].]]

Suddenly, [[East India Trading Company soldiers|soldiers]] of the [[East India Trading Company]] burst in, led by [[Ian Mercer]], in which Barbossa's crew united with Sao Feng's men in order to escape. Throughout the [[Battle of Singapore|battle]], the whole crew fought in the streets of Singapore, using muskets, pistols and even explosives to stay one step ahead of the EITC soldiers. While the crew prepared to leave, Will Turner appeared, having managed to get Sao Feng's charts. Will was also able to get a ship, the ''[[Hai Peng]]'', and a large crew of Chinese pirates led by [[Tai Huang]]. With Sao Feng covering their escape, the crew climbed aboard the ''Hai Peng'' and left Singapore, continuing onward in their voyage to find Jack Sparrow.<ref name="AWE"/>
[[File:Crew in the Locker.png|thumb|right|300px|The crew in [[Davy Jones' Locker]].]]

====Rescuing Jack Sparrow====
{{quote|Why should I sail with any of you? Four of you have tried to kill me in the past. [[Elizabeth Swann|One of you]] succeed.|[[Jack Sparrow]]|Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End}}
Following the route on Sao Feng's map, the crew of the ''Hai Peng'' sailed through a [[Ice Passage|frozen ocean]], the uncharted waters of the [[Farthest Gate]], and finally sailed their ship over the massive waterfall, where they reached their destination&mdash;[[Davy Jones' Locker]]. While the ''Hai Peng'' was wrecked on impact, the entire crew survived the wreckage just as they were reunited with [[Jack Sparrow]] and the ''[[Black Pearl]]''. Though Jack was skeptical on sailing with the crew, being that some of the members tried or succeeded to kill him, Jack had the crew join him aboard the ''Pearl''. The ''Pearl'' would sail the seas of the underworld, where Captains Jack and Barbossa would both compete for captaincy throughout the voyage&mdash;with Pintel having unsuccessfully attempted to act as captain at one point.<ref name="AWE"/>
[[File:P3Standoff.jpg|thumb|left|305px|The crew of the ''Pearl'' after escaping the Locker.]]
Although the ''Black Pearl'' sailed far and wide, to the point of seeing dead people in boats, including the late [[Governor]] [[Weatherby Swann]], who revealed the secret of the [[heart of Davy Jones]], the crew still remained trapped in the Locker. As the ''Pearl'' continued to sail, Tia Dalma pointed out that if the crew was unable to escape before the sunset, they would be trapped in the realm between worlds forever. Shortly afterwards, with the help of the navigational charts, Jack Sparrow was able to discover a way of escaping from the Locker. He coerced the entire crew into tipping the ''Pearl'' upside down, coinciding with sunset in the Locker that resulted in a [[green flash]]&mdash;thereby returning the ''Pearl'' and its crew to the world of the living.<ref name="AWE"/>

====Journey to Shipwreck Cove====
{{Quote|Curious. Your friends appear to be quite desperate, Jack. Perhaps they no longer believe that a gathering of squabbling pirates can defeat the ''Flying Dutchman''. And so despair leads to betrayal. But you and I are no strangers to betrayal, are we?|[[Cutler Beckett]] to [[Jack Sparrow]]|Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End}}
Upon returning to the world of the living, Barbossa, Jack, Will, Elizabeth, and Gibbs pulled out their pistols in a standoff&mdash;ending with no one being able to shoot anyone because of wet powder, which made the pistols useless. So with fresh supplies needed, the crew of the ''Black Pearl'' set towards the [[Black Sand Beach]], where the corpse of the [[Kraken]] would be found. Going into the jungle, the crew found the island's water spring poisoned by a [[Steng|dead body]]. It was at that moment that Tai Huang and the other Chinese crewmen betrayed the motley crew, taking them as prisoners as Sao Feng's flagship, the ''[[Empress]]'', appeared beside the ''Pearl'' offshore.<ref name="AWE"/>
[[File:AWEButforthatIneedtheBrethren.jpg|thumb|right|325px|Barbossa negotiating with Sao Feng as the crew were prisoners of the [[East India Trading Company]].]]

Barbossa and Jack climbed aboard the ''Pearl'' to find that their ship was taken over by Sao Feng's men with the help of Will Turner. Turner revealed he only participated on this voyage to get the ''Pearl'', believing he could use it to free his father from aboard the ''[[Flying Dutchman]]''. Upon the arrival of Lord Cutler Beckett's flagship, the ''[[HMS Endeavour|Endeavour]]'', Sao Feng turned Jack Sparrow over to [[East India Trading Company soldiers|EITC soldiers]] to meet with Beckett. After Mercer boarded the ''Pearl'', Feng betrayed Will by having him join the rest of the ''Pearl'''s crew, who were all chained together. However, Sao Feng himself was betrayed by Beckett, having been informed by Mercer that he wouldn't be given the ''Black Pearl''. It was then that Barbossa and Feng negotiated, which ended with Feng agreeing to help free the crew in exchange for Elizabeth, whom he believed to be the sea goddess [[Calypso]].<ref name="AWE"/>
[[File:AWEJackandcrewpunishingWill.jpg|thumb|left|330px|The crew shortly before sending Will Turner to the [[Codex:B#Brig|brig]].]]

With the deal made, Barbossa and the rest of the crew of the ''Black Pearl'' were set free as Sao Feng and Elizabeth climbed aboard the ''Empress''. While ''Pearl'''s crew attacked EITC soldiers, the ''Black Pearl'' [[Skirmish off of the Black Sand Beach|attacked]] the ''Endeavour'' as it sailed away, making their escape. It was during this brief battle that Jack Sparrow made his daring escape from the ''Endeavour'', which the rest of the crew watched from the ''Pearl''. Unlike Barbossa, the crew was intrigued by Jack's miraculous stunt. For Will Turner's treachery, Jack ordered the crew to send Will to the [[Codex:B#Brig|brig]]. The ''Black Pearl'' then set sail for their next destination: [[Shipwreck Cove]], the well-hidden meeting place of the [[Brethren Court]].<ref name="AWE"/>
[[File:Crew_arriving_shipwreakcove.png|thumb|right|325px|The crew arriving to [[Shipwreck Cove]].]]

At some point during the voyage, Will Turner was able to escape the brig with the intention of leading Beckett to Shipwreck Cove. But in the middle of his plan, Will was confronted by Jack Sparrow who threw him overboard, but not before being given [[Jack Sparrow's compass|Jack's compass]] so he could use it as leverage for Beckett. Shortly after arriving to [[Shipwreck Island]], Barbossa had Pintel and Ragetti escort Tia Dalma to the brig. Finally, after sailing through the perilous sea passage known as the [[Devil's Throat]], the crew of the ''Black Pearl'' arrived to Shipwreck Cove.<ref name="AWE"/>

====Meeting with the Brethren====
{{Quote|Look at them all."<br>"There's not been a gatherin' like this in our lifetime."<br>"And I owe them all money.|[[Pintel]], [[Hector Barbossa]] and [[Jack Sparrow]]|Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End}}[[File:Codex2.jpg|thumb|left|325px|The crew staring at the [[Pirata Codex|Pirate Code]].]]
After docking at the cove, the crew of the ''Black Pearl'' joined their two captains as they took their place at the meeting of the [[Fourth Brethren Court]]. Ragetti was chosen to collect the [[nine pieces of eight]] from each of the nine [[Pirate Lord]]s, except for Jack, who wanted to wait until Sao Feng joined them. However, Elizabeth Swann arrived with the news of Sao Feng's death by the ''Flying Dutchman''. Elizabeth also informed the Brethren that Lord Cutler Beckett and Davy Jones were on their way to Shipwreck Cove. The meeting would lead to a vote for the new [[Pirate King]], in which Elizabeth Swann was elected. As the King of the Brethren Court, Elizabeth decided to declare war against Beckett. And so joining with the entire members of the Fourth Brethren Court, the motley crew prepared the ''Black Pearl'' for battle.<ref name="AWE"/>

====Leading Pirates====
=====<big>Prior to the Battle</big>=====
[[File:AWECrewstareout3.jpg|thumb|right|300px|The crew facing the [[East India Trading Company Armada|EITC Armada]].]]
{{quote|Calypso...I come before you as but a servant, humble and contrite. I have fulfilled me vow, and now ask your favor. Spare meself, me ship, me crew and unleash your fury upon those who dare pretend themselves your masters...or mine.|[[Hector Barbossa]]|Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End}}
The ''Black Pearl'' joined the combined ships of the [[Pirate Armada|Brethren's fleet]] off of Shipwreck Island, where the crew await for the arrival of Lord Beckett. The entire crew was shocked to see the number of ships in [[East India Trading Company Armada|Beckett's armada]]; almost three hundred vessels, led by the ''Flying Dutchman'', easily outnumbering the Brethren. Upon seeing these ships, [[Cotton's parrot]] flew away, saying "[[abandon ship]]". This motivated Jack Sparrow to call for [[parley]], in which Elizabeth, Jack, and Barbossa sailed to a [[sandbar]] where met with Beckett, Jones, and Will Turner, the one who led Beckett to Shipwreck Cove. The parley ended with Will leaving with Elizabeth and Barbossa, joining the pirates, and Jack being handed over to Jones, but with the fight still to continue.<ref name="AWE"/>
[[File:AWECrewpreparingtoreleaseCalypso.jpg|thumb|right|300px|The crew preparing to release [[Calypso]].]]

Upon arriving on the ''Black Pearl'', Barbossa prepared an [[incantation]] to free Calypso from her human form, as Tia Dalma, by burning the nine pieces of eight, the last of which he took from Jack and Elizabeth. Though Will and Elizabeth were reluctant to employ such a risky gambit, Barbossa ignored them and successfully freed Calypso, with the help of Ragetti, who spoke the [[magic]] words, and Will, who told Calypso the person who betrayed her to the Brethren&mdash;Davy Jones. Barbossa then implored Calypso to spare himself, the ''Pearl'' and the crew, and to focus her rage on their enemies. The goddess then exploded into millions of [[crab]]s, showering the ''Pearl'''s crew before disappearing into the sea. The crew recovered from this unexpected event, and prepared for the coming battle.<ref name="AWE"/>

=====<big>Battle with the ''Flying Dutchman''</big>=====
{{quote|Gentlemen...Hoist the colors."<br>"Hoist the colors."<br>"Hoist the colors."<br>"Hoist the colors!"<br>"Aye. The wind's on our side, boys. That's all we need!|[[Elizabeth Swann]], [[William Turner Jr.|Will Turner]], [[Ragetti]], [[Pintel]], and [[Joshamee Gibbs]]|Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End}}
[[File:Pirate Armada speech.jpg|thumb|left|300px|[[Elizabeth Swann]] giving a speech to the crew.]]
Although Barbossa believed that their hope was now lost, with Calypso having failed them, the winds blew, which inspired Elizabeth Swann. She gave a rousing speech to the motley crew, reminding them that the Brethren would be looking to the ''Black Pearl'' to lead. Although it appeared that the pirates stood little chance of defeating Beckett's armada, Elizabeth convinced the pirates to fight anyway, dying in defense of their freedom if necessary. With the order to "hoist the colors", the flags of all the pirate vessels present were raised as a storm began to brew. As it started to rain, which angered Pintel and worried Ragetti, the ''Black Pearl'' sailed out to face the ''Flying Dutchman''. Before they would meet, however, Calypso controlled the waters of the ocean creating a [[maelstrom]] in between the two opposing fleets. Barbossa took the helm as a massive whirlpool formed, allowing the ''Pearl'' and the ''Dutchman'' to prepare for the [[Battle of Calypso's maelstrom|titanic battle]].<ref name="AWE"/>

[[File:AWEGibbsyellsGo.jpg|thumb|right|325px|The crew during the [[Battle of Calypso's maelstrom|battle]] around the [[maelstrom]].]]
As the ''Black Pearl'' sailed in the giant whirlpool, the crews of the respectable ships prepared to fire. Barbossa, Elizabeth, Gibbs, and Will Turner ordered to fire, after which the ''Pearl'' sustained damage. The battle would rage on. Throughout the battle, Will and Elizabeth would be [[marriage|married]], presided over Barbossa, while continuously fighting EITC soldiers and members of [[Crew of the Flying Dutchman|Davy Jones' crew]] aboard the ''Pearl''. Shortly afterwards, the masts of the ''Pearl'' and the ''Dutchman'' would crash into each other. By the end of the battle, as the maelstrom subsided after Davy Jones' death, Barbossa ordered the crew to shoot a [[chain-shot]] at the masts, allowing him to safely guide the ''Black Pearl'' out of the maelstrom, leaving the ''Dutchman'' to sink. Among the ''Pearl'''s casualties, Will Turner was mortally wounded by Davy Jones, though with the help of Jack Sparrow, Will was able to kill Jones before passing away. As Jack climbed aboard the ''Pearl'', the crew prepared to face the Beckett's ship, the ''Endeavour''.

Though Barbossa and the crew expressed their concern in facing the ''Endeavour'', Jack believed they would win and had the crew prepare the ''Pearl'' for one last attack. With the ''Endeavour'' fully armed, the crew feared the worst; and to make matters worse, the ''Flying Dutchman'' rose out of the depths, except Will Turner was now captain of the ''Dutchman''. So with their renewed faith, the crew had the ''Black Pearl'' sail to attack the ''Endeavour'' with help from the ''Dutchman''. After Jack, Gibbs, Barbossa and Elizabeth ordered to fire, the crew fired the ''Pearl'''s cannons, destroying the ''Endeavour''. This resulted in the defeat of Lord Cutler Beckett.<ref name="AWE"/>
[[File:AWECrewbeforeElizabethleaves2.jpg|thumb|left|325px|Elizabeth before leaving the crew of the ''Pearl''.]]

As the rest of the armada was forced to retreat, the crew of the ''Black Pearl'' rejoiced and celebrated their victory along with the other crews of the Brethren's fleet. Cotton's parrot returned to Cotton's side as the pirates continued to cheer. Among the pirates celebrating were [[Mullroy]] and [[Murtogg]], who were the only surviving EITC members of the ''Dutchman'', though they switched into being pirates and joined the motley crew. Though celebrations were cut short as it was discovered that Elizabeth only had one day to spend with Will, who now had to take the burden to ferry souls into the next world. After a farewell from the crew, Barbossa and Jack among them, Elizabeth climbed off the ''Pearl''.<ref name="AWE"/>

===After the War===
====Barbossa's Second Mutiny====
{{Quote|Sir. Some of the men don't feel entirely settled about leaving Captain Jack behind..."<br />"Again."<br />"...again."<br />"Is that so?|[[Pintel]], [[Ragetti]], and [[Hector Barbossa]]|Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End}}
[[File:AWEBarbossapreparestoshowCrewtheCharts.jpg|thumb|right|325px|The crew with Barbossa aboard the ''Pearl''.]]
In their newfound freedom, the motley crew of the ''Black Pearl'' sailed back to [[Tortuga]]. While [[Jack Sparrow]] was in the town, Barbossa took the ''Pearl'' from Jack under circumstances that can only be described as [[mutiny]]. The rest of the crew joined him, except for [[Joshamee Gibbs]], who was left sleeping on Tortuga's docks. With [[Cotton]] at the helm, the ''Black Pearl'' sailed out on the high seas. Shortly after leaving Tortuga, [[Pintel]], [[Ragetti]], [[Marty]], [[Mullroy]] and [[Murtogg]] met with Captain Barbossa, reporting that some of the men weren't settled in leaving Jack. To make themselves feel better, they demanded Barbossa to show them the "item" he told them about. Taking out the [[Mao Kun map|navigational charts]], Barbossa revealed that he planned to find the [[Fountain of Youth]]. But when Barbossa opened the charts, both he and the crew discover that the map to the Fountain was cut off from the charts by none other than Captain Jack Sparrow himself.<ref name="AWE"/>

====Blackbeard's attack====
{{Quote|The rigging had come to life! Our own ship turned against us. Tangling the crew, wrapping around them like snakes...and wrapping around my leg.|[[Hector Barbossa]] to [[Jack Sparrow]]| Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides}}
At some point after their departure from Tortuga, the crew of the ''[[Black Pearl]]'' was [[Capture of the Black Pearl|attacked]] by the ''[[Queen Anne's Revenge]]'', a ship of the notorious pirate [[Blackbeard]]. During the attack, the rigging of the ''Pearl'' came to life and turned against Barbossa and his crew. Barbossa barely escaped this encounter, with the cost being his right leg. After this, Blackbeard had the ''Pearl'' shrunk and put it into a glass bottle. While it is unknown if the crew survived or not, [[Cotton's parrot]] and [[Jack (monkey)|Jack the monkey]] could be seen inside the ''Pearl'''s bottle.<ref name="OST">''[[Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides]]''</ref> At least three crewmembers served under their old captains a few years later, [[Murtogg]] and [[Mullroy]] under [[Hector Barbossa]] aboard the ''[[Queen Anne's Revenge]]'' and [[Marty]] aboard the ''[[Dying Gull]]'' under [[Jack Sparrow]]. All three of them were reunited when Sparrow retook captaincy of the restored ''Black Pearl'' at the end of the [[Quest for the Trident of Poseidon]], along with Jack the monkey who became Sparrow's pet following Barbossa's death, but the [[fate]] of the rest of the crew is unknown.<ref>''[[Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales]]''</ref>

==Everyday life==
{{Quote|Captain, I think the crew, meaning me as well, were expecting something a bit more...shiny.|[[Joshamee Gibbs]]|Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest}}
The crew was characterized as a group of drunken [[scallywag]]s. They hailed from a dozen nations. Like most pirates, many of them were mutual acquaintences, so they were each able to help the other. One example was Gibbs' sense of helping a crewmember, as well as Ragetti's assisting Elizabeth Swann, during the [[Kraken]]'s [[Skirmish off of the Isla Cruces|attack]] on the ''Black Pearl''. All the [[crewmember]]s had the same [[dream]]&mdash;of leading a pirate's life&mdash;they did work well together.

There seemed to be a slight dislike their original captain, [[Jack Sparrow]], who led the crew in an odd way because of his view on what they were doing, most notably after Jack's retrieval of a [[Drawing of the key to the Dead Man's Chest|drawing of a key]] during his search for the [[Dead Man's Chest]]. Despite this, all crew members worked together out of mutual necessity to embark on various voyages, and finding what untold treasure they needed to find or fighting for their freedom with the [[Brethren Court]]. The crew cared about their ship and kept it clean. All the crew except the mates slept together in hammocks below deck.

==Behind the scenes==
*The name "Motley crew" derived from "A motley crew" section of ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean: The Complete Visual Guide]]''.<ref name="CVG"/>
*It is possible that the name "Motley crew" is a reference to the American heavy metal band, "[[Wikipedia:Mötley Crüe|Mötley Crüe]]", since [[Johnny Depp]] mentioned his belief that pirates were "the rock and roll stars of that era", which inspired his performance as [[Jack Sparrow]]. However, it may come from the actual term "[[Motley crew (term)|motley crew]]", used to describe a group who came from different background and ethnicities, yet having a common goal.
*The [[Jolly Roger (flag)|pirate flag]] used by this crew is the black flag with the traditional skull and crossbones design<ref name="DA">''[[Disney Adventures]]''</ref>, though Jack Sparrow's flag is much different.
*The crew's [[fate]] after ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End|At World's End]]'' is unknown. It was assumed that the crew may be dead as they didn't appear in ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides|On Stranger Tides]]''. While [[Cotton's parrot]] and [[Jack (monkey)|Jack the monkey]] could be seen inside the shrunken ''[[Black Pearl]]'', the crew didn't appear when the ship was restored in the next movie, ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales|Dead Men Tell No Tales]]''. However, some members of the crew did come back in this movie to rejoin Sparrow, implying the crew might have escaped Blackbeard's attack after all. It's also possible they left the crew before the attack.
*Marty is the only member of the Motley crew who has been in all versions of it.
