Los otros piratas "están en ello"

I'm guessing están en ello means "are on it" in the sense of "working on it"
I had never heard it before.
Gracias.

Yeah, "estar en ello" means "to be on it" and so depending on the context it can mean, I've got it, I'm working on it, I'm handling it ,etc.. (the phrase is used the same way as it is in English).

Precisely! This is one of the few cases where "ello" is used even colloquially.
