Blast Will Turner and his dogged one track mind!

This was what Jack Sparrow thought as he watched that boy ever so foolishly have a go at Jones. Honestly did the boy actually thing it'd do a bit of good for him to run through someone who was both figuratively and literally a heartless wretch such as the captain of the Flying Dutchman was? If the ultimate purpose of it hadn't been to save Elizabeth from Jones then Jack would have thought the boy to be the world's biggest fool. Yes while they had been distracting, Will's actions had only served to make Jones' already rotten disposition all the more foul, and so Jack picked up his already frantic pace to retrieve the key.

He slid the key into the lock just as Jones forced a weaponless Will into a corner. Jones seemed amused at the lover's plight between the couple before he made the remark about how love was a dreadful bond that was so easily broken. “Tell me, William Turner, do ye fear death?”

Raising the beating heart in his hands, his broken blade at the ready to pierce it Jack said, “Do you?” He waited until Jones was looking at him, and Jack would later swear that Jones had turned a queer shade of white when he saw his heart, “Heady tonic, holding life and death in the palm of one's hand.”

Jones growled, “Yer a cruel man, Jack Sparrow!”

“Cruel is a matter of perspective,” Jack retorted.

“It is?” Jones said.

Before Jack or either of his young friends could react, Jones had ran Will through smiling in satisfactory at Elizabeth's gasp and he twisted the blade viciously. When Jones finally faced Jack again he was quite pleased to see utter devastation written on the pirate's face. Quite pleased with what he saw, Jones laughed in utter glee at Jack. Frozen into inaction by Jones' ruthlessness, Jack could do nothing but watch as Elizabeth found her way to Will's side.

He watched and he remembered all the past trouble Will Turner had caused him and all the trouble he had caused Will Turner.
