"Come on, guys!"
The crew of the Black Pearl was in a hurry, and the Black Pearl tackled the wind, leaving the Dutchman behind.
A cannon shot suddenly came from the front muzzle of the Dutchman.
"Facing the waves! Into the wind belt! Quick!" Barbossa yelled, adjusting his course.
The Dutch opened fire again, but the Pearl managed to escape.
"She can't catch us." Elizabeth cheered.
"That's right! Now it's tailwind, we got rid of her!" Barbossa nodded proudly.
"The Black Pearl is faster than the Dutchman?" Will asked Barbossa.
"That's no ordinary ship." Barbossa said, nodding towards the Flying Dutchman.
"It can go completely against the wind, and it won't slow down in a hurricane. So she can always surprise, but if it's tailwind..."
"We have an advantage over her." Will said suddenly.
"That's right," said Barbossa. "There's a reason why the Pearl is the only ship Davy Jones fears."
Seeing the Black Pearl getting farther and farther away from the Dutchman, Jack smiled, still holding his jar tightly in his hand.

"The Black Pearl is faster than the Dutchman?" Will asked Barbossa.
"That's no ordinary ship." Barbossa said, nodding towards the Flying Dutchman.
"It can go completely against the wind, and it won't slow down in a hurricane. So she can always surprise, but if it's tailwind..."
"We have an advantage over her." Will said suddenly.
"That's right," said Barbossa. "There's a reason why the Pearl is the only ship Davy Jones fears."
Seeing the Black Pearl getting farther and farther away from the Dutchman, Jack smiled, still holding his jar tightly in his hand.
"If we can outrun her, we can beat her!" Will said, rushing up the deck to Jack, "We should turn around and fight!"
"Or we should slip away like cowardly weasels," Jack answered lightly.
"You have the only ship that can match the Dutchman! In a fair fight, we have a half-chance."
"I don't have that much incentive to fight, do I?" Jack replied, tapping the jar in his hand.
Suddenly, the Black Pearl rolled over and the crew fell to the ground.
"Snapped!"
Jack's can flew out of his hand, shattered and scattered sand across the deck.
He knelt down and poked around, but the ground was nothing but sand.
Jack looked up at Barbossa, swallowed hard and said, "Well, I didn't get that heart."
"And who's got it?" Barbossa asked.
At this moment, the Pearl creaked, trembled violently, and stopped.
Jack was pale, and now he had neither Jones' heart nor Tia Dalma's soil.
The Pearl stopped slowly, and Elizabeth looked over the side of the ship.
"We must be on the rocks!" she exclaimed.
Will frowned. He had heard the same thing aboard the Edinburgh Merchant.
"No! That's not a rock! Get off the side of the boat!"
"What's that?" Elizabeth asked, seeing the horror in Will's eyes.
Barbossa only said two words: "Sea monster."
As soon as Gibbs' words were understood, the deck of the Pearl fell silent, and the sea monster finally found Jack.
Jack lay on his stomach on the deck, no longer turning the sand and dirt, it was useless to do so.
The heart wasn't there, the blotch was on his hand again, and he was the marked one again.
It was hopeless this time—he was doomed.
Jack made his way toward the stern of the Pearl as quietly as possible, not being noticed by anyone on board as he slipped into the dinghy and rowed away from the Pearl.
The sea water around the Pearl began to churn and bubble, heralding the arrival of sea monsters.
At this moment, a terrible thing appeared in the depths of the sea, its tentacles were raised high above everyone's heads.
"Take up your arms!" Will yelled. "Protect the mast! Don't let it touch the mast!"
The pirates took their positions and prepared for the coming attack, the cannons were loaded and the masts were well guarded.
The sea monster's tentacles slowly approached the ship's side, but Will had the cannon ready because he had encountered the sea monster earlier and knew it would attack from the starboard side of the ship.
Following Will's majestic order, the cannons fired together.
The Kraken was hit, and its body writhed painfully away from the hull and began to sink, shattering the skiff as it sank.
"It's coming back!" Will yelled, turning to Elizabeth and adding, "We've got to get off this ship!"
"There are no more boats," Elizabeth replied, and the sea monster had destroyed all the remaining boats, or nearly all of them...
When the sea monster is about to attack again, Jack is rowing the boat to escape as fast as possible, but something seems to prevent him from leaving completely.
He glanced down at the compass and saw the needle turn towards its target - the Black Pearl and her crew.
Jack sighed and started rowing.
On the Black Pearl, the sea monster seems to be about to succeed.
No matter what the pirates did, they could not effectively stop the sea monster's attack.
They shoot at it, stab with swords, throw nets at it...but the monster always comes back.
