Because Dutch had a plan…

He just needed a little more money.

I've been free roaming since forever and I don't wanna go further than Clemens Point 🤣 I have like 10k + already HSBSBSHS there should be a secret ending (obviously non-canon, just for fun)

So the game can happen

10k not enough lol, need like 1M lol hehehehehe.

Because Dutch was hungry for more. He’s like a train engine, you keep feeding him but he yearns for more. He didn’t really care about going to Tahiti or farming mangos or retiring to California, he used it as a lure like an angler fish’s light to get money.
