After the captain relents and is taken hostage, Liam begins plotting a course to get the ship to safety.
Knowing this will doom everyone, the Jones brothers threaten him with a bloody siege if he doesn't surrender. During a storm at sea, Captain Silver orders the ship to be sailed into the hurricane, because he wants the eye of the storm, a jewel the king will pay handsomely for. Since the captain will only allow Liam to leave alone, he chooses to stay with Killian, after tearing up the documents. When Liam returns, with navy documents to enlist himself and his brother, he finds an incapacitated Killian. While stoned, he also gambles away his money to the captain. That night, Killian is offered a drink by Captain Silver, and he eventually drinks more on his own whim and becomes drunk. When the captain allows the older Jones brother to go collect his wages, at the cost of making Killian stay behind, Liam promises Killian that he will be back for him by morning. Killian moves to retaliate against him, but he is held back by Liam, despite Captain Silver egging on Killian. Overhearing the conversation, Captain Silver mocks him and kicks over the brothers' water bucket.
Killian is not confident that he is navy material, but he jokes about Liam perhaps becoming a captain one day. Many years later, while Killian and Liam are still stuck in servitude as lowly deckhands, his brother suggests using their wages to enlist in the king's navy, where they can become respectable men. Only when the captain enters, Killian learns Brennan sold him and Liam into servitude on the ship, in order to elude capture because he is a wanted criminal. Sometime after this, he wakes up to find his father gone, and in his panic, he attempts to shake Liam awake. Killian decides he wants to be just like his father, and he is lulled to sleep after Brennan promises to stay to ensure the room lantern remains lit. Brennan comforts him, telling him that there is nothing to be scared of, as long as he looks into himself and can decide the kind of man he wants to be someday. That night, he becomes afraid to sleep during a storm that causes the ship to tilt and sway. When Killian is still a child, he boards a ship with his older brother Liam and his father Brennan to explore other worlds.
