The game is based on the search for the Pirate Lords for the Fourth Brethren Court (called the Pirate Conclave) meeting at the Shipwreck City. The reason for this research is to try to find a remedy for the pirate extermination conducted by the perfidious Davy Jones. At the meeting, it will be necessary to counter this extermination that could lead to the definitive disappearance of piracy, and to do this the Pirate King will be elected, who will decide what to do.
Captain Jack Sparrow has been imprisoned in the Fortress Prison and is found by his father: Captain Edward Teague, who gives him a sword and helps him escape. The Pirate tells Jack he has to go to Port Royal to look for Tia Dalma: a voodoo priestess who knows the secret to defeat Davy Jones. After freeing some prisoners and escaping from the fortress, Teague kicks his son pushing him into a canoe, with which Jack sails for a while until he comes across the Black Pearl.  Immediately notice that all crew members are hidden and "Bootstrap" Bill Turner (William Turner's father) warns him of the threat of Jones looming over him and that he must take refuge on dry land.
