Before de curse, we were a loyal crew to a good captain. But de curse corrupted Pirate-King Zem'lan, made him cruel and controlling. Now, he treats us more like slaves than crewmates. Forced to fight and die for his gain, no treasure for ourselves. No speakin' up without punishment.

Dis treasure belongs to de crew! We've fought every battle for Zem'lan, but he hoards all de booty for himself. And if ya try to take some for yourself, he turns ya into one of his goldslaves. Those be de mindless drones ya see tendin' to de treasure out here.
