to me that pic looks like Sao and Barbossa have made an alliance and are therefore striking a deal with Beckett (it has to be Beckett to whom they are talking to cause why else would the EITC soldiers not be restraining Sao and Barbossa, they seem to be restraining other Pirates from getting to close, meanwhile Beckett granted permission for Sao and Barbossa to come closer and talk while they strike a deal...who else would have that power? besides Sao looking Down means whoever he is talking to is short (and Beckett is short))....thats my Take on it! 😄
