Oliver entered his and Laurel's room and smiled when he saw her in her pirate outfit.
"How do I look?" Laurel asked with a smile as she looked down at her pirate outfit. She was wearing dark blue trousers, a black shirt and a burgundy coat, along with a typical black pirate's hat.
"Like a pirate queen." Oliver said.
"Huh, The Dread Pirate Queen. I like it." Laurel said as she kissed him.
"Go, it's your turn to have some fun." Oliver said and Laurel smiled.
"Take care of Jasmine while I'm gone." Laurel said.
"Will do." Oliver said as she walked out.
"So, this is where Blackbeard hangs out?" Laurel asked as she, Mari, Ray and Nate, all of them dressed in typical pirate garb, walked through Nasseu.
"Yep. I wonder how we find him?" Ray asked.
"Same way you find any other kind of criminal. You go to the bar." Laurel said like it should be obvious.
"Got it." Ray said as they followed her into the bar.
"So, what's the plan?" Mari asked.
"We need to get a feel for the room. Fan out, see if you can get anyone here to spill." Laurel said as she walked away.
"And here I thought Oliver was the only leader of Team Arrow." Ray said.
"I think I know a better way to get Blackbeard's attention. If there's one thing pirates love more than treasure, it's a good story and we have a captain who was cursed by a siren." Nate said and the others nodded.
"I think I have an idea on how to start that rumor." " Mari said and the boys nodded.
Laurel was sitting at the bar, getting a drink when she felt someone grab her shoulder and it wasn't one of her friends.

She instinctively grabbed a bottle of alcohol and whirled around, smashing it into the pirate's head.
"Next time don't touch without permission." Laurel snarled at the pirate as she then noticed all eyes on her.
"That's what happens when you mess with the dread pirate Queen." Mari said, confusing Laurel.
"I ain't heard of no pirate queen." one of the pirates said.
"You never heard of her. The one who killed a siren and was cursed to bear it's scream for all eternity." Nate said and now Laurel was starting to understand their plan and smiled.
"That can't be true." the same pirate said, only to have Laurel unleash her cry on him, sending him flying across the bar.
"Still having doubts?" Laurel asked smugly.
"Come to think of it, I heard rumors that she once lost her ship to a kraken and she then hunted it down, killed it and turned the thing's skin into her coat in retribution." another pirate said and Laurel smiled as rumors about her began to form.
"I heard she faced down Davy Jones himself and walked away unscathed." another pirate said.
"I hear she be more fierce and dangerous than Captain Blackbeard." a different pirate said as suddenly, a man with long black hair, wearing a black hat and long red coat, and of course, a black beard.
"What is this I hear?" the man said.
"Captain Blackbeard, I have it on good authority that be in the company of the dread pirate queen." the same pirate said.
"Really. Is that so?" Blackbeard said as he looked at Laurel who nodded.
"Well then, welcome to Nasseu." Blackbeard greeted and Laurel nodded.
Later, Laurel and Blackbeard were sitting at a table in the bar.

"The scuttlebutt is that you want to join me crew." Blackbeard said.
"I work for no man. What we seek is treasure." Laurel said.
"As does every pirate worth his or her salt." Blackbeard said with a chuckle.
"You know, I believe that you have this particular treasure in your possession." Laurel said.
"And what treasure might that be?" Blackbeard asked.
"It's a necklace with a very large emerald." Laurel said, remembering how Mari had described the Earth totem.
"That description doesn't strike a chord." Blackbeard said.
"Perhaps some time with a siren will refresh your memory." Laurel said as she as she took a deep breath, only to have Blackbeard chuckle.
"I assure you that won't be necessary. I just needed to make sure you were the real deal and you are. A pirate after me own black heart. I'll tell ye where the trinket is, but at a price." Blackbeard said.
"Name your price." Laurel said.
"Not gold or anything, rather your services." Blackbeard said.
"And what could I possibly offer you?" Laurel asked.
"Out on the island of St. Lucia, lies the eye of the sea Jewel. Of all the treasures I've sought over the years, it is the one I've valued the most. However, all my attempts to retrieve it have failed. I'm hoping that with your unique skills, you can help me brave the treachery of that landscape and retrieve it." Blackbeard said and Laurel nodded.
"Agreed, the eye for the emerald. My crew and I will assist you, in exchange for the necklace. But let me be clear, you'd better hold up your end of the deal." Laurel said.
"And why would that be?" Blackbeard asked.
"Because the last person who tried to double cross me, well, the only people who know what happened to him are myself and my four most trusted lieutenants." Laurel said and Blackbeard nodded.
"Of course. Shall we be on our way? Blackbeard asked.
"We shall." Laurel agreed.
