Flushed with love and the pride of the newly wed, Will is really beginning to enjoy the battle, able to lose himself in what he enjoys most - hand to hand sword fighting. He's won Elizabeth, they have the superior fighters, and victory, as far as Will's concerned, is merely a matter of time.
As he throws at East India company man to the deck and runs him through, he happens to glance up into the tangled rigging of the two ships, only to see Jack, hanging precariously over the maelstrom, saved only by the shared grip of him and Jones onto what appears to be the chest containing Jones' heart.
The security of the Pearl is just about assured, but now Will's needed elsewhere.
For once, he checks over his shoulder and gains an acknowledgment from Elizabeth that she knows where he's going before he grabs a rope and swings over to the Dutchman.
The first thing he sees is the chest, lying unacknowledged in the middle of the fighting. Offering quick thanks for his luck, Will grabs it in both hands and runs.
