Heart of Davy Jones
From PotC Wiki
- "What exactly did he put into the chest?"
"Him heart." - ―Will Turner and Tia Dalma[src]
This heart was removed by Davy Jones from his own chest after he was forsaken by his love, the sea goddess Calypso, in order to no longer feel the emotion of love again. He locked it into the Dead Man's Chest, and hid the chest on Isla Cruces. He kept the key hidden within his facial tentacles at all times. Whoever controlled the chest was able to control Jones by extortion. Jones was immortal so long as his heart remained safe. The heart was stolen by James Norrington from captain Jack Sparrow on Isla Cruces, and was given to Lord Cutler Beckett of the East India Trading Company. Beckett used it to control Jones as well as the seas in order to rid the world of piracy. During the Battle of Calypso's Maelstrom, the chest, containing the heart, was recovered by Sparrow. He then helped William Turner, who had been stabbed by Jones, stab the heart to kill Jones. Will Turner then became the captain of the Flying Dutchman, after his father, William "Bootstrap Bill" Turner cut out his son's heart and put it into the Dead Man's Chest.
