The Black Spot

The Black Spot is a small piece of parchment with a black spot on it that denotes the guilt of whomever receives it. In Corazón's case, it was because he was responsible for abandoning his former crew after they had succumbed to a curse while they were adventuring for a treasure.

Trivia:

 * Corazón has said he has received several of these from his former cursed crew. 4 in total.

Behind The Scenes Trivia:

 * The Black Spot is a literary device invented by Robert Louis Stevenson for his novel Treasure Island (serialized 1881–82, published as a book in 1883). In the book, pirates are presented with a "black spot" to officially pronounce a verdict of guilt or judgement.
 * The Black Spot shows up in Pirates of The Carribean but it appears as a mark on the guilty parties hand.
