The giant ship eventually slowed down on the shoreline and rolled over in the water with a huge splash.
Will and Norrington scrambled out, dazed, and Norrington staggered to the boat, collapsing over the side.
He looked up, his eyes fell on Jack's can, and he reached out to the bow.
Jack held his breath as he saw Norrington's hand reach past the jar for the amnesty in his jacket pocket.
Jack didn't try to stop him, since he now had the heart that could control Davy Jones and dictate every ship or treacherous course in the Seven Seas, he didn't need those papers anymore.
While Jack counts his luck, the battle on the beach rages on.
First, it was Sparrow's men against Jones' men, and Jones' men were slightly better.
During the melee, Will suddenly saw the treasure chest, and the key was in the keyhole.
He bent over to open the box, and Jack spun around with the paddle in his hand and punched Will on the head.
Will collapses on the sand, unconscious.
Elizabeth rushed to Will, looking down at her fiancé.
Elizabeth, realizing the danger of the situation, said to Norrington, "We cannot escape."
"You can't get away with a box," Norrington replied, knowing what to expect.
He quickly grabbed the treasure chest and ordered Elizabeth to board the boat. He turned his head and shouted: "Don't wait for me." He walked across the beach and disappeared into the dense forest.
Jones's men immediately pursued him.
"I said we should respect his last wish." Jack, who was standing aside, said hastily.
"Yes!" Pantel agreed, and began to push the skiff into the waves.
Jack jumped into the boat and grabbed his can.
After finally getting this heart, he didn't want any mistakes.
With this heart and a jar of dirt from Tia Dalma, Jack was safe.
"We must take Will," Elizabeth ordered.
Jack rolled his eyes, but nodded in agreement, and Pantel and Rajetti dragged Will into the boat.
The four said nothing more and set off, leaving Norrington behind.
......
After a while, Jack and his party, without Norrington, returned to the main deck of the Black Pearl.
Will slowly opened his eyes.
"How's the box?" he asked dazedly.
"Norrington took the box and led them away," Elizabeth replied.
Barbossa appeared on deck to welcome them back as he prepared to set sail.
"Jack!" he said, "we saw the Dutchman an hour ago, almost that long ago!"
"Really?" Jack replied, eyes full of confidence.
Barbossa gave Jack an anxious look, and he didn't have time to try to figure out what was going on.
Because there is a very dangerous ship, to be precise, the most dangerous ship in the history of navigation, and it is too close to them!
Barbossa yelled, "Crew! Set sail! Full speed ahead!"
When everyone on the Pearl was busy about leaving, Jack felt that there was no need to be in such a hurry.
He sat down on a large barrel, his legs dangling, and he dangled his precious jar.
"Barbossa, is your throat tight?" Jack asked.
"Yes." Barbossa replied.
Jack nodded: "Your heartbeat is fast, your breathing is short, and you obviously feel weak in your body?"
"Yep!"
"I'm afraid you have a severe phobia." Jack said casually.
"What are you thinking? We only have half the chance at best, and that's with the wind remaining the same!" Barbosa said.
He didn't understand Jack's attitude at all. Just a few hours ago, Jack was so nervous.
Elizabeth went over to the side of the boat, and for once, she took Jack's side.
"I'm out of danger, I don't see any boats around," she told Barbossa.
However, Elizabeth spoke too early, and in the next second, the people on the Black Pearl saw in horror that the sea began to spit out bubbles and white foam.
Suddenly, with a huge splash, the Flying Dutchman jumped out of the sea and stopped beside the Pearl, and the big waves it splashed wet the deck of the Pearl.
Barbossa shouted with all his might, "Full rudder to port! Tailwind! Full sail!"
When everyone was desperately holding on to their posts, Jack faced the Dutchman and raised the can above his head. He pointed to the can, nodded and smiled, and waved friendly.
Standing at the wheel of the Flying Dutchman, Davy Jones stepped back a few steps, as if knocked.
He realized that his heart must be in Jack's hands.
"Get the guns ready," Jones said to Max.
Jack yelled at the Dutchman, "Hey! Here it is! Big bet!"
Barbossa moved to his side. "What are you playing again, Jack?"
"Quiet!" Jack answered, knocking on the jar and whispering, "I've got the heart, and it's here."
"God bless! How did you get it?" asked Barbossa.
Jack smiled: "I'm Captain Jack Sparrow, forget?"
Barbossa sighed as he watched the Dutchman's guns open.
Jack thinks he can't do anything now, but Barbossa is not so naive, he wants to protect the ship.
"Full port rudder!" he shouted, returning his attention to the Black Pearl.
