Every pirate after a certain amount of time gains the attention of a sea serpent, these sea serpents tend to symbolize their guilt, rage, or negative emotions in general. Very rarely do they indicate positive emotions. For some to keep it satisfied and from consuming them, they sacrifice other pirate captains. Thus why Veronica is being sacrificed, capiche?

The Pirate Council is a set of chosen captains at Pirate Lords. They conquer a certain region of the world. Example: Theres on for China, and another for India. They come together whenever they're occupation as pirates is being threatened. Such as the British republican trying to eliminate them forever. Or Davy Jones being sighted.

It will try to.

Don't worry! Her serpent, inherited by the previous captain, is rather attached to her and uh.. she's way more horrifyint.
