[Pirates of the Caribbean] Why is Jack Sparrow's soul worth 100 others?
gpt
Back before his pirating days, Jack was hired by Beckett to transport a shipment of slaves. Jack freed them instead. In retaliation, Beckett branded Jack as a pirate and burned and sank the *Wicked Wench*, his beloved ship.

Jack made a deal with Davy Jones to raise the *Wench* and make it the fastest ship in the Caribbean. This he did, and Jack renamed the ship *The Black Pearl* due to her now charred and blackened hull.

In exchange, Jones would allow Jack to captain the ship for 13 years before joining his crew. Why did Jones want 100 souls in place of Jack's? That was the number of slaves Jack freed.
