The pirate seemed strangely calm about losing all his treasure...
He said he's used to things going overboard.

'Overboard' plays double duty here β meaning both 'thrown into the sea' and 'excessive,' so the pirate's calm reaction is a pun on things literally going into the ocean. Real pirate treasure was often buried or lost at sea, and modern treasure hunters still use sonar and old ship logs to search for sunken loot worth millions today.
