Chapter 33

His Treasure of Corazon

Months later Jack, Isabelle, Will, Elizabeth, and all of the Black Pearl's crew were celebrating Jack and Isabelle's engagement in Tortuga. Drinks were being passed around with cheers from the crew.

As Will finished giving a toast to the couple and everyone downed a drink, a young man approached the joyous group.

"Captain Sparrow?" the young man asked as he squinted at Jack.

"Aye," Jack replied looking the man up and down, "And who are ye?"

"Edward Torche," the young man replied, "I was once a cabin boy for you a long time ago."

"Ah!" Jack smiled with final recognition, "Ed m'boy! How are ye?"

"Fair," Edward answered, "And yeself? Ye look so… so… different."

"Couldn't be better," Jack said winking at Isabelle before turning back to Edward, "So, what brings ye 'ere?"

"Actually, Captain Sparrow," Torche began, "I've been tryin' to find information about the treasure of Corazon. Have ye heard of it?"

Jack, along with everyone else who was drinking, nearly choked, "Yes… why?"

"Well, I came upon some folks who told me 'bout it in St. Lucia," Torche began to explain, "It interested me, so I went in search of any more information about the treasure or how to find it. About a month or so ago I ran into Captain Redd and he told me to find you because you were searching for the treasure too."

"Uh-huh," Jack nodded.

"So," Edward began a bit hesitant, "did ye find the treasure of Corazon?"

Jack thought to himself for a moment. Indeed he and his crew had followed the compass to the hidden location. Yes, they did take on a lot of its treasure. However, they couldn't take it all due to another riddle found inside one of the rooms and there was simply too much even for the crew of the Black Pearl. Not to mention the fact that Jack still had a vast stash of treasure in the Isla de Muerta. But was that truly the treasure of Corazon? The treasure of the Heart? Or perhaps it was Isabelle? After all, if it wasn't for the love for each other, the gold box wouldn't have opened to lead them to the treasure. Suddenly something clicked in Jack's mind… now he understood what Redd meant by being able to answer yes and no. Redd meant yes about the girl he was getting married to but no that he didn't go through to getting the actual gold and silver.

"Yes," Jack replied to Edward as put his arm around Isabelle, "I found the treasure of Corazon."

"Oh," Torche said a bit disappointed.

"But 'old on a moment," Jack said, grabbing Edward's sleeve as the young pirate tried to walk away, "Take this."

Jack pulled out the gold box, now sealed closed once again, and handed it to Edward.

"I may have found me treasure of Corazon, and same with Redd," Jack smiled, showing his gold teeth, "But maybe ye should take this so ye can find your treasure of Corazon."

Edward took the gold box but gave Jack a very confused look, "Your treasure of Corazon? Redd's treasure of Corazon? My treasure of Corazon? What d' ye mean? Is it not all the same treasure?"

Jack looked to Isabelle and then back at Torche, "No, mate. The treasure of Corazon is different to each person. I found me treasure of the Heart… and now you must find yours. The gold box will help ye find it. I can promise ye that."

Edward nodded in reply, but still looked very much confused, "Thanks, Captain Sparrow."

"Good luck, Ed!" Jack cheered to Torche as he made his way out of the Faithful Bride.

"Is he off to seek the treasure?" Gibbs laughed to Jack.

"O' course," Jack laughed as well.

"Funny how everything worked out alright in the end," Elizabeth mused.

"Yes," Will sighed then looking at Gibbs said, "Told you it would work."

"Don't think so, lad," Gibbs smirked at the blacksmith, "Believe it twas I who told ye it'll work."

"It most certainly was not!" Will argued back, "It was my idea from the beginning."

"But I's the one who pulled it off!"

"Because of me!"

"Do they normally fight this much?" Isabelle whispered to Jack, the two men still arguing in the background.

"Just ignore them, love," Jack whispered back, looking into her eyes, "you're all I see and hear in this place."

Isabelle smiled and gave Jack a kiss.

Hearing music slowly making its way above the noisy crowd, Jack stood up and held out his hand, "Shall we?"

With that, Isabelle took his hand and began dancing with Jack to the upbeat, old sea tune. Gibbs and Will stopped fighting and joined in along with Elizabeth to the dancing crowd. And in no time at all, all of the crew of the Black Pearl was up and about dancing. Jack finally had the one treasure he was always looking for though he may not have known it. Not silver, not gold… Just the treasure of Corazon, the treasure of his Heart… Isabelle.

The End
