“You can outrun Cancer Manigoldo?! You’re… kind of scary! Do you steal souls and faces too?” That was even the same look that Manigoldo had in his eyes a lot!

It takes a moment for the shock to wear off, much too long for him to pretend that that hadn’t shaken him up at all. “I-is that a threat? What are you going to do? I-I’m not scared of you! I’m still not supposed to let you run around h-however you want to!”

“Nah, don’t be silly. It’s as almost anything, is about outsmarting and that’s something I know how to do.” She answered. She wouldn’t be able to outrun a gold saint, of course not, she had seen them move. But outsmarting was something she had done once or twice.

“And no, it’s not. What I meant was..” And there she was, off running a fast as she could and entering the first corner to break his line of sight.

“You actually want to find Manigoldo? Uh..!” Saro was terrified of Manigoldo, he was one of the meaner saints here. He had to run that through his mind again. “You want to find Manigoldo ‘cause you stole his coins?”

“Are you really sure! Even if you’re just trying to do the right thing! Manigoldo could really steal your soul! Maybe even your face! I don’t know what he could do!”

“That old man would have to catch me first.” He had done already once but that was a minor detail. But Gioca doubted Manigoldo would try to hurt her if she was found around there, but who really knew? She was almost certain that Albafica wouldn’t, for example.

“Besides, he made me a promice and I want to know if he’s in or not.” She added. “So, you will you let me go find him or not?” Not that a ‘no’ would stop her.

PotC: The Curse of the Black Pearl  {Sentence Starters}

“You cheated!”

“Very well. I’ll drop it.“

“Yes it is, I’ve seen it.“

“I recognize this ship!”

“Why is the rum gone?”

“You know nothing of hell.“

“I’m in the market, as it were.“

“You’re supposed to be dead!”

“No! Not good! Stop! Not good!“

“Stop blowing holes in my ship!”

“This dock is off-limits to civilians.”

“I told you he was telling the truth.“

“Pirate or not, this man saved my life.“

“This is either madness… or brilliance.“

“We’re going to steal a ship? That ship?“

“I didn’t steal it, if that’s what you mean.“

“Not all treasure is silver and gold, mate.”

“I want you to leave and never come back.“

“You’ve only got one shot, and we can’t die.“

“So, this is where your heart truly lies, then?“

“That’s got to be the best pirate I’ve ever seen.“

“A wedding? I love weddings! Drinks all around!“

“No. I cannot just step aside and let you escape.“

“Everyone, stay calm, we’re taking over the ship!“

“That’s why there’s no sense to be killing you, yet.“

“That’s not true… I am not obsessed with treasure.“

“Put it away, son. It’s not worth you getting beat again.“

“Good man, good pirate. I swear you look just like him.”

“You best start believing in ghost stories. You’re in one!“

“I’m disinclined to acquiesce to your request. Means ‘no’.”

“If you were waiting for the opportune moment, that was it.“

“Lower your weapons. For goodness sake, put them down.“

“You are, without a doubt, the worst pirate I’ve ever heard of.”

“Well, that’s not much incentive for me to fight fair, then, is it?“

“It would never have worked out between us, darling. I’m sorry.“

“I want you to know that I was rooting for you, mate. Know that.“

“The code is more what you’d call ‘guidelines’ than actual rules.”

“No survivors? Then, where do the stories come from, I wonder?“

“I am here to negotiate the cessation of hostilities against _____.”

“So, can you sail under the command of a pirate, or can you not?“

“I practice three hours a days so, when I meet a pirate, I can kill it.”

“But pirate is in your blood, so you’ll have to square with that some day.”

“Do you really think there is even the slightest chance they won’t see it?“

“I thought I had you figured. But, it turns out you’re a hard man to predict.“

“Fine. Well, I suppose if it is worthless then there’s no point in me keeping it.“

“One good deed is not enough to save a man from a lifetime of wickedness.“

“We are not among the living, and so we cannot die. But, neither are we dead!”

“You didn’t beat me. You ignored the rules of engagement! In a fair fight, I’d kill you!“

“Borrowed… borrowed without permission, but with every intention of bringing it back.“

“And how does a maid come to own a trinket such as that? Family heirloom, perhaps?“

“The only rules that really matter are these: what a man can do and what a man can’t do.“

“Do you have the courage and fortitude to follow orders and stay true in the face of danger and almost certain death?”

“For too long, I’ve been parched of thirst and unable to quench it. Too long I’ve been starving to death and haven’t died.“

“That’s what a ship is, you know. It’s not just a keel, and a hull, and a deck, and sails, that’s what a ship needs but what a ship is… is freedom.”

“Me, I’m dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. I mean honestly, it’s the honest ones you have to watch out for.“

Headcanon Time

Alright I’m to touch a kind of dark subject so bear with me for a moment ok? Also going to be a very important headcanon.

She was intrusted to a couple of fisherman who happened to be in Death Queen Isle when the attack happened and later brough to Venice by the family of one of those fisherman, since they had family there. Once in the town, Gioca was named and not soon after sent to an orphanage. 

After a few years there, she finally ran away since she wasn’t treated well due to her constant mischeif and pranks, prefering to live in the streets than to stand another minute in that place. She decided to desguise herself as a boy after seeing a girl that also lived in the streets be abused and it wasn’t soon after that she was found and recruited to Nero’s little gang of theives.

Gioca spent years with them, slowly learning how to do what was asked of her until her hands were light enough to pickpocket almost anyone. A couple years after going to Nero, she met with Tonto being sold in the black market and rescued him, keeping him as his best friend and partner in crime.

She was friends with a fewof the boys in the group, telling only the closest ones about her secret.

After Nero was taken down and she and the other boys were free to do what they wanted, they found an abandonet building to call their homes (some actually went to an orphanage to try better luck at life with a descent family). They now live stealing only what’s necessary since they are not old enough to work and live their lives with dignity.

Gioca earns a bit of money by helping out eventually other people, being rewarded by a good deed.

“I-it’s a big problem! That’s why there are rules! El Cid isn’t just strong, he’s mean! He can probably cut a mountain in half with his bare hand!” Saro ran in front of her and held out his arms so she wouldn’t pass him. Not that he was large enough to actually block anyone’s path.

“He’s really, really, really scary. And there are more dangerous things, too. Like falling rocks! And Manigoldo, he’s scary too! He would even beat up a kid if he wanted to!”

“Nah, he wouldn’t. He could but he wouldn’t.” Gioca replied. After all, he hadn’t beaten her up when they had their little adventure in Venice and he had more than enough opportunities and reasons to. 

“Actually he’s the guy I’m looking for. I kind of forgot to give back his coin purse.” She added. And for the first time, his money was actually there! Her number one rule was that she didn’t steal from friends after all.

[talentedthiief]

I got myself sad. I just remembered that Manigoldo will never get to keep his promise.

[talentedthiief]

So I want to do a thing for our beautiful TLC children but i’m not familiar with all the characters... who wants to help a gal out?

“Um…!” Saro let them go and took a step back. That was a really sharp glare. “R-really! That’s the rule! If someone like El Cid sees you breaking the rules here, he might take your head off! No, he will, he seriously will!”

“You’re looking for somebody? All by yourself?” He could relate to that. He came all the way here chasing Aldebaran. “M-maybe I can help you so you can be in and out faster and no one has to be beheaded for rule breaking.”

She fixed the heat on her head before thinking if she was going to answer that boy or not. There was a change of running away there and she was more than sure that she would be able to keep u her pace and lose the boy in that mase of old stuff. But at the same time, she could also use him to get where she wanted.

“Got any problem with that?” Gioca asked, arching an eyebrow. Since she was more than used to take care of herself, to be suggest that she should have any help was almost offencive. “And what if I am? This El Cid guy doesn’t even sound that scary, I know a guy that can shatter walls with a flower.”

The young healer came along. Pefko was never very graceful, but he was small, so he did his best to fit behind Gioca into the alleyways and back streets. He must live a long way from where Pefko was delivering medicine to.

“I still have lots of things for fevers and coughs. Especially if it’s a cold! I probably don’t look it, but I’m really good at this stuff, since I learned from the best.” That was his attempt at small talk.

She listened to what he was saying but didn’t really pay attention, worried about her friend. Could a boy she didn’t even know help out? Even if he claimed to know what to do, she couldn’t really be sure.

Soon they arrived to a building in the outskirts of Venice, located by the canal and seemed to be abandoned. “Alright Pefko, was it? We are here. Try not to get too indimidated.” Gioca said before going inside. “HEY MARCO, PIETRO! I’m back! And I brought someone that can help Maria!”

@talentedthiief liked this post for a short starter !

“Um, hey! You there, um…!” Saro grabbed the stranger by the wrist.

“C-civilians aren’t supposed to wander around here! Did you come ‘cause you need help? ‘Cause this isn’t the way to the Pope’s chambers. You’re going to get in trouble if someone sees you way out here!”

Gioca stopped at the word ‘civilian’. She was one, of course, but one that was more than used to go where she wanted most of the time. Of course Gioca wasn’t expecting to be discorved so quickly but then again... she was in the place where that Fish Saint had come from.

She turned around, arching an eyebrow. “Reeeeeeaaaally? Too bad kid. I’m looking for someone and I’m not stopping until I find him.”
