Back in London, James cannot forget the magical world he briefly knew. He despises his ordinary life and the prospect of becoming a proper gentleman. James seeks adventure aboard Blackbeard's pirate ship, where he learns the brutal arts of piracy. He rises through the ranks to captain his own vessel, driven by one consuming goal: returning to Neverland. The Odd Sisters offer magical assistance to make his dream possible.
