Pirate king

Jamina says she was the bosun of the Leviathan under the last Pirate King, and that when Bill Seacaster cut off his head and stuck it to the mast of Gibbety Square, he said there would be no king in Leviathan S2E7·01:53:21. She assumes James Whitclaw will head to Gibbety Square to claim the crown if his aim is to become the Pirate King S2E7·01:52:39.

Alistair Ash says Bill's proclamation that there would be no kings for a captain and that no one should wear the crown again acts almost like a spell over the whole city, and that Bill would know if anyone put on a crown in Leviathan LEV E4·02:15:04. Marcid later suggests visiting "the old Pirate King's crown" LEV E4·02:22:14.
