He suspects there isn't anything in the chest, but it's worth a look.
After a moment, he levitates one of the pouches up into his hand, opening it and peering inside. There may be a slight gleam in his eyes when he sees the gold.
"We've hit the jackpot." If he wasn't morally bound to give the money to the Merry Men to distribute amongst the poor, he'd be stuffing it in his pockets by now.
The bright gleam in Jack's black eyes might be chalked up to pride at their success, but anyone knowing the pirate well could safely bet that there's something else involved, as well.
"Allow me."
Helpfully, Jack gathers up several pouches, balancing them in a bundle in his arms.
One makes its way up a sleeve; another just happens to fall from his fingers and into a pocket.
"Will ya look at that," Ben says completely dazzled by the amount of gold that sits before him. So dazzled he completely misses the wayward pouches Jack has grabbed for himself.
There's a musical jingling as the pouch up Jack's sleeve is jostled by Teja's interference. Hastily, Jack shifts the rest of the pouches that he's holding in his arms, adding to the sound of coinage, and then nods to Little John.
"Hold on a second guys," Ben says as he puts down all the pouches of gold that have been given to him. He then lays out the shreds of his robe and begins placing all the pouches upon it. Once he has them all placed he gathers the fabric into a loose sack and stands back up. "Okay now I can run if need be."
After a moment or two Ben says, answering Atton, "Maybe we can drop off all the empty chests at the Sherif's door? Or the pieces as the case may be."

He picks up some pouches, also, and looks around at the other men -- Ben Grimm, one would assume, could carry them all.
