Will, after the loss of his father by capricious fortune was a mix of melancholy and relief. For too long, had Bill remained cursed as a member of Davy Jones' crew, no longer human. Now his soul would find rest and he could continue on. As Will lingered, he was joined by a suprising figure, Maccus.
Maccus glared at him, and insisted that not only did you spirit away the remainder of my crew, you still have not bourne the responsibility for killing Davy Jones. He spoiled for a duel, but held back out of respect for Will. Although he wanted to best him and kill him at swordpoint, he refused to do so in an unworthy manner. He invited Will to return as they were now, to finish the debt, where one or the other would die.
Will shuddered and walked away from the blustering Maccus, promising to end this feud the very next day. Barbossa spoke with him, and suggested that they do no work tomorrow, simply sleep under the boat and rest. Because surely they ought to pay their respects to Bootstrap Bill.
So it was by considerable surprise that Barbossa nudged will awake the next day, when they found the body of Maccus keelhauled and bloated by the same torches alight in the dripping rain. Will thought, that as the only member remaining of the flying dutchman, it was a simple matter for any on the Dauntless to board his ship, subdue and capture him and then Keelhaul him.
The only question was who. Barbossa returned to the Dutchman with Will and they scoured the ship for clues as to the death of Maccus. All they found was a small pointy compass, and a strip of serge.
