About This Quote

Jean grinned down at her, and she handed him something in a small silk bag. She drew his attention to the bag and said “What’s this?” Jean replied “Lock of my hair, I mean to give it to you days ago, but we got busy with all the raiding. You know. Piracy.

Hectic life.” Jean became interested in this saying and knew that it must be powerful. So he decided to test this saying on his crew and see what happened. The next day when it was time for the morning prayers Jean called out “You all have no idea who you are fucking with.

I’m under the protection of the lady who gave me this object of her favour.” The crew members looked at each other confused until Jean pulled out his pistol and killed them all.
