- The Kraken I think is being designed as a co-operative between the Jolly Roger and EITC. Think of it as a Manhattan Project for POTC. Ergo, makes sens to deny it until the end.
- I use "mate" a lot too. Dunno too many more Pirate words to use, sad to say.
- The last two points are where I think I've stumbled on to something and it's so subtle that it's brilliant.
OK, since, what, right after Christmas, the Marceline Guild has been leading the raids on the EITC and sinking their ships, right? Along with the stuff with the Black Guard, we've been led to believe it's all just fun and games.
I thought the same thing too until I was doing some skeleton ship hunting and noticed something interesting: the sail remains on the skeleton ships look like EITC sails. Once I had that piece of the puzzle, it all came into focus.
The EITC is baiting the Marceline Guild. They WANT ships to be sacrificed, they want the raids to be successful as it gives Jolly Roger an increase in his army. Hence my theory of a deal: Roger gets his army by EITC getting fed to the Guild, in return, Roger unleashes the doomsday option on the Marceline Guild in order to finally shut them down and give the EITC control of the seas.
It's all a build to the Kraken, kiddies. That's why everything has been going on. The raids, the island redesigns, the Black Guard, all of it is built into a long in-story explanation as to why the Kraken is going to show up at all.
This is my theory at least, take it for what you will.
