* Will's Sacrifice: Will Turner is forced by Davy Jones to become a member of the Flying Dutchman's crew. To save Elizabeth and the rest of the crew, Will chooses to accept this fate and become a ghost pirate.
* Will and Elizabeth's Parting: They have a poignant farewell, realizing that their lives will be permanently altered. Elizabeth, though heartbroken, understands the sacrifice Will had to make.
* Elizabeth's Fate: Elizabeth is devastated but remains strong. She accepts Will's sacrifice, vowing to stay true to their love. She becomes the Governor of Tortuga, a powerful figure who protects pirates from the East India Trading Company.
The movie ends with the implication that Will and Elizabeth will be reunited in 10 years when Will is allowed to leave the Flying Dutchman for one day to be with his family.
Therefore, their relationship is not broken, but rather put on hold due to the unfortunate circumstances. They are left with the hope of eventually being together again.
