In January 1725, in the Caribbean, Adéwalé uses the Jackdaw to incapacitate an East India Company ship before boarding the enemy vessel and assassinating its captain, a British Templar.

Behind the scenes
This episode marks the first time the passage of time is acknowledged in the webtoon, with an Animus interface stating that the Fenghuang arrived in Singapore in March 1725. This would mean that all of the story's events up until this point took place in the span of several weeks, as Edward arrived in Macau in February 1725. However, given the long distances the characters travel, as well as several time skips which imply a longer passage of time, it is highly unlikely that only a month or two at most passed since the story's beginning. It is not excluded that the Animus interface may be erroneous, as there is precedent of Abstergo Industries' Animi showing incorrect event dates in the series.
Singapore's appearance in 1725 is anachronistic, as the city is shown having European architecture and a port, something it would not possess until a century later when it became a British colony. At this point in time, only a small settlement is confirmed to have existed on the island. Its depiction may be another Animus error, as there is also precedent for Abstergo to include anachronistic structures (e.g. the Queen's Staircase) or contemporary buildings with anachronistic designs (e.g. the Dome of the Rock) in their Animi simulations. Additionally, Singapore would not have been referred to by its current name in 1725, as it was better known as Singapura or Temasek at the time.
