It opens the box, careful not to break the hinges or anything.
Inside is a mirror and one of those spinning ballerina things. It starts spinning, and making noise. I said noise, not music, because it sounds like a terrified scream, audible from up to 300 feet away.
The Egregore calmly reaches in with its long, clawed fingers, and rips the ballerina out of the box, quite possibly taking some gears and coils with it.
The ballerina is easily ripped out, but the rest of the box isn’t damaged. A new ballerina springs into existence and continues horridly screaming.
The Egregore begins to disassemble the box, hoping to find out how it is making that noise.
The music box seems to be a normal music box, nothing that would produce any sound besides a sweet melody. As it is deconstructed, the Egregore can see something out of the corner of their eye appear and vanish immediately. It seemed to be some sort of long, thin shape, like a rope or a snake.
Jack stumbles into the room, awoken by the awful sound. "What is that awful racket? He sees the strange music box and puts the pieces together. Dashing above-decks, he peers over the side and sees the chests lying open on the shore. He shudders and casts Detect Magic again, searching the ship meticulously for any strange inconsistencies.
The chests are no longer magical. Traces of magic are left in the music box, but they are quickly fading.
whatever was in the chest is now in the ship.
somewhere.
*he's walking through the ship as he's concentrating on detect magic, does he not sense it anywhere?*
He sees the creature from the chest now inhabiting a cup filled with (insert alcoholic drink here, idk) on a table next to someone playing a card game. The creature isn’t visible despite being clearly exposed while looking at with detect magic.

They see a serpentine crab creature the size of a whale coiled around itself in an underwater nest made of kelp 30 feet away from the ship. It looks like a Nadir Kraken (you can look it up, it’s a monster from Theros, but this isn’t a Nadir kraken it’s a Kuo Toa God) it raises its head above the water staring intently at Wisteria.
Does anybody really know what to do when you see a big weird crab? Wisteria certainly doesn't. She shyly waves at the crab

He looks on, wisely pretending not to have seen it, and goes back belowdecks after initiating some small talk with the players of the card game. Once down there he begins collecting the herbs, oil, and incense needed for material components and begins the (24 hour) process of casting Hallow on the quarters belowdecks, keeping them safe from any monstrous, magical intruders.

He looses track of it once the spell wears off though, but he eventually hears the creaking of floorboards very close to him, although he’s the only person in the room.
