Obtaining the treasure is the very last point of the game. When you have assembled the pieces of the treasure map, and defeated Captain Crawfish in battle, the Governor will give you the location card and the Bone Shovel to dig on the small hidden island.

The treasure is on a secret island which is revealed after you find all pieces of the map, called Skullduggery. But I don't know how to get it yet.
There is nothing to be found on the hidden island (Skullduggery) until after you beat Captain Crawfish. After you defeat Captain Crawfish, the governor gives you a treasure location and a bone shovel. Sail to the hidden island. You will find the treasure under a mound, six paces right from the pirate flag.
You can't find the treasure until you have the location from the Governor at Fort Ridley. When you have beaten Captain Crawfish, and have all five pieces of the map, see the governor to get the location card and the Bone Shovel. Return to Skullduggery Island to dig up the treasure.
nothing. you will come here after you've beat Captain Crawfish and found the treasure map. (the treasure chest is on the island)
There is nothing to do on the small island, also called Skullduggery Island, until you have defeated Captain Crawfish. Once he is beaten, go back to the governor and get the map to the treasure, and a bone shovel. Return to the small island and follow the directions to find the buried treasure.
Once you have all five pieces of the Treasure Map, the 6th island, Skullduggery, appears on the map. When you acquire a powerful ship, and scare off Captain Crawfish, the Governor will give you the Treasure location and a bone shovel to dig it up. (see related question)

There is a dock at the bottom side of the small island, Skullduggery. The island appears when you have collected all 5 of the pieces of the Treasure Map.
You can't do anything except look around until you have defeated Captain Crawfish. Once you beat his ship, return to Fort Ridley and the Governor will give you a bone shovel and the location of the buried treasure on Skullduggery. Sail there and dig up the treasure.
Although you can go there and look around, there is nothing to do until the end of the quest, once you have driven off Captain Crawfish and the Governor gives you the location of the Buried Treasure on Skullduggery.
The Jolly Roger flag is on the top of the mast at the Pirate Outpost. The flag that marks the treasure is in the middle of the hidden island (Skullduggery). When you have chased off Captain Crawfish, you can get the bone shovel and treasure location from the Governor. Go to the island and dig it up.
