Will Turner pondered mayhem...he pondered his friend, Captain Jack Sparrow...
Even as his life was hanging in the balance over the cursed Aztec gold, he was fascinated by this man who was very much like an Indian cobra...weaving to and fro, his delicate hands waving in unison as the punctuated his words... his eyes never leaving his opponent's... mesmerizing...
Sparrow was a master at this, yet Will never actually saw him hurt anyone, save for Barbossa. The young man fully expected that Jack would kill Barbossa when the opportune moment presented itself, yet, in it's own strange way, it would be justified. It was simply not something that Sparrow did naturally.
What Jack did do, naturally, was create insane mayhem... as he did when he escaped his first capture on the docks in Port Royal, sailing through the air with shackled wrists... as he did during a swordfight in a blacksmith's shop, not following the rules of engagement... as he did when he and the young blacksmith commandeered the Interceptor right under the noses of the Royal Navy, and set sail for Tortuga... as he did when he tossed a sword to Will in the treasure cave, and they fought Barbossa and his cursed crewmen, each of them knowing exactly what the other was going to do next.. as he did, when he returned to his ship and shot a round through a cargo net full of powder kegs, to drive off the terrible Kraken...
The man walked through mayhem as though it were a stroll along a beach... he was devious, yes, but much like a mischievious child in order to get his way... he was not always to be trusted by most, but could be by some... he was not a killer, he was not a rapist, but he was a pirate, and had to do what needed to be done to survive.
Somehow, Will found himself understanding this odd man, now... Will, himself, was getting very good at creating mayhem; he had learned from the best... he was thankful, now, after all was over with At World's End, that he'd had the best man, a good man, Jack Sparrow, on his side...
He smiled at Sparrow, who smiled back...Mayhem... times two...
