Here’s a good short story inspired by the idea of a fictional pirates movie from 2005.

Ashworth is offered his commission back. He tears it up. Raya asks if he wants to stay. He looks at her, then at the sunrise over the Sunda. "I'm a very bad pirate," he says. She laughs. "Then you'll fit right in." pirates movie 2005

The plot unfurls like a damp sail. Raya isn't after gold. She's after the Galuh Pusaka , a legendary galleon that sank in 1603 carrying the Tulang Naga —the "Dragon's Bones," a set of celestial maps that prove the Sunda Strait belonged to an independent sultanate, not the Company. Whoever controls the bones controls the sea lanes. And the Company’s man on the ground, the pale-eyed, soft-spoken Governor Thorne (Mark Strong, all velvet menace), wants to burn every native kingdom to the ground.

The climax is a three-way battle in a flooded sea-cave. Ashworth uses the sloop's anchor chain as a whip. Raya fights with a broken oar. Thorne dies not by sword, but by irony: the porcelain jar shatters in the struggle, and a shard of it—just a sharp piece of ceramic—finds his throat.

It was 2005. Pirates weren’t cool yet. Not really. Then The Last Galleon of the Sunda Sea hit theaters—and vanished. It wasn’t a blockbuster. It wasn’t even a hit. But for those who caught it on the bottom shelf of Blockbuster, wedged between Cutthroat Island and The Master of Ballantrae , it was magic.
