In Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Captain Jack Sparrow used Will's hand to stab Davy Jones' heart. This served a dual purpose: it killed the tentacled villain and saved Will from the sword in his own heart since he would then become the new, immortal captain of Pirates of the Caribbean's Flying Dutchman.
Is Will Turner bound to the Flying Dutchman forever?
Because Will Turner became the new captain, he would now serve aboard the Flying Dutchman for all eternity, bound to ferry the souls of drowned seamen into the afterlife, as Jones had before him.
Jones mortally wounds Will. Jack, who now possesses Jones' heart guides Will's hand to stab the heart and kill Jones. Bootstrap carves out his son's heart and places it in the Dead Man's Chest. Will becomes the Flying Dutchman's immortal captain.
So Davy Jones became ol' squidface specifically because he chose to take a few centuries of vacation time. TL;DR: Will has barnacles because of extended time in the ocean. Not because he didn't ferry around the dead people.
The rule that whoever stabbed Davy Jones' heart would take on his mantle allowed Will's life to be saved, but only if he cut out his heart and stored it away in a chest— something that was never meant to be a requirement.
Right before the film's climactic battle with the pirates at Isla de Muerta, Sparrow swipes a cursed coin from the treasure chest, making himself immortal and capable of dueling Barbossa. He shoots his nemesis with the pistol he has carried for ten years just as Will breaks the curse, killing Barbossa.
Bill also explained that he was unable to die and Davy Jones offered him an escape. Elizabeth was not dead nor dying, there was no reason for Will to bring her on the cursed ship.
Ultimately, the blood of Bootstrap's son was used to lift the curse. When Will reversed the curse by returning the last Aztec coins to the stone chest, he technically killed his father because at that moment, somewhere at the bottom of the ocean, Bootstrap Bill became mortal and would have drowned.
He ended up marrying his longtime love, Elizabeth Swann, conceived a son, and became the new captain of the Flying Dutchman. Years later, he was freed from his duty by his son and returned to his family.
Ten years later, Elizabeth had already been raising a son, who was named after his father. Young Henry Turner was accompanied by his mother to wait for his father's return ten years after his departure. As the sun sets, the Flying Dutchman appeared with a green flash, signifying Will's return from the Land of the Dead.
This film followed their son, Henry Turner, as he teamed up with Jack Sparrow to break Will free from the curse of the Flying Dutchman. Henry was 21 by then, so Elizabeth and Will were 42-43 years old in their final (and brief) appearance in Dead Men Tell No Tales.
In real life the Flying Dutchman was a 17th century Dutch merchantman, captained by Captain Hendrick Van Der Decken, a skilled seaman but one of few scruples, and in 1680 was proceeding from Amsterdam to Batavia in the Dutch East Indies.
Though their absence might have felt like a betrayal to more die-hard "Pirates" fans, it actually wasn't because of any bad blood. Bloom, at least, opted out of the fourth film of his own volition. "I think Will is sort of swimming around with the fish at the bottom of the ocean," the actor told MTV News in 2010.
When was the last time the Flying Dutchman was seen?
There have been many sightings over the years, although the last reported one was by a Nazi submarine in WWII. Some sightings involved the Flying Dutchman sailing quickly through calm waters while the majority of sailors have spotted it during extremely stormy weather with wind and waves crashing all around.
Elizabeth bids Jack, Barbossa, and the pirates farewell before reuniting with Will for their "one day" on the nearby island where their marriage is consummated and their only child, Henry Turner, is conceived.

She said, “I said when I finished the trilogy that that was going to be it — I had a wonderful time on it, and I met some extraordinary people, but you know, I think, for me, three is enough, definitely.” Keira Knightley never gave a reason why she left the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise besides saying that three ...
His most powerful curse, the Black Spot, infuses his arm in uncontrollable cursed magic, but Captain Jack Sparrow was never one to let such a thing hold him back. After all, no self-respecting swashbuckler leaves the cabin without their captain's hat, pirate coat, and…
The curse only affected anyone who specifically took the coins from the stone chest; Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann each owned a piece of the treasure that had been taken out of the chest by Bootstrap Bill Turner and were never aware of the curse.
4. How did Davy Jones become a squid? After Calypso's betrayal, Davy Jones carved his heart and locked it in the Dead Man's Chest. He abandoned his duty and turned into an ugly monster with an octopus-like face, tentacle beard, and crab legs and hands.
The crew of the Black Pearl needs Will Turner's blood to lift the curse because they killed his father. This would be unnecessary if Will's father never partook of the gold, and if he did, he would be subject to the curse himself, which is that he cannot die.
Why doesn't your compass work?" Seeking help from the mystic Tia Dalma, she asked Jack on why he couldn't have just used the compass to lead him to the key. She then realized that either Jack didn't know what he wanted or he knew but are loath to claim it as his own.
