Isla Cruces No POV

Jack, Elizabeth, James, Anamaria, Pintel and Ragetti were on a long boat as Pintel and Ragetti were rowing the boat.

Pintel: you're pulling too fast.

Ragetti: you're pulling too slow. We don't want the kraken to catch us.

Pintel: I'm saving me strength for when it comes. And I don't think it's "kracken" anyways. I always heard it said "krayken".

Ragetti; with a long A?

Pintel: uh-huh.

Ragetti; no, no, no, no, no. "Krocken" is how it's pronounced in the original Scandinavian, and "kracken" is closer to that.

James and Elizabeth couldn't believe they actually have to listen to them argue as Anamaria found it very amusing.

Pintel: we ain't Scandinavians, are we? "Krayken."

Ragetti: it's a mythological creature. I can calls it what I wants.

They finally landed on the beach as Jack left his coat and jar of dirt in the boat.

Jack: guard the boat. Mind the tide. Don't touch my dirt.

Jack, Anamaria, Elizabeth and James walked away towards another side of the island as Elizabeth held the compass as she kept walking back and forward as the compass always pointed to Jack.

Elizabeth: this doesn't work. <sits down> and it doesn't show you what you want most.

Anamaria:<takes the compass from her> yes, it does. <moves it a bit and points to Elizabeth> you're sitting on it.

Elizabeth: beg pardon?

Jack:<walks over> move.

Jack whistles for James to start digging as James starts digging and Anamaria helped.

Meanwhile

Pintel was complaining as Ragetti was balancing a shovel on his hand.

Pintel: "guard the boat!" "Mind the tide!"

Ragetti; I could join the circus.

Pintel: mind if I shine your shoes?

Jones saw the duo through a spy glass at the Dutchman.

Jones: they're here. And I cannot step foot on land again for near or a decade.

Marcus: you'll trust us to act in your stead?

Jones: I'll trust you to know what awaits you should you fail! Down, then!

Crew: down!

The Flying Dutchman submerged back under the water as Ragetti and Pintel saw them and they both took off running towards where the others were.

James and Anamaria kept digging as Jack was meditating and Elizabeth was just thinking as James hit something. They all got it out as Jack broke the lock with a shovel before opening it as there was letters on top but that was not the main prize. Jack pulled out the real Dead Man's Chest as it had a crab lock, tentacle designs on it looked sea green in design with a little rust on it. They all lean in as they hear a heartbeat.

Elizabeth: it's real.

James: you actually were telling the truth.

Jack: I do that quite a lot, yet people are always surprised.

Will: with good reason!

Will and Wade were behind them but at a distance as they were both drenched.
