Plot summary
Shimazu Saito tries to interrogate Edward Kenway to learn how to decode Hendrik's sea log, but the latter is unaware what she is referring to and releases the candle from his hand. Saito catches it with her sword, allowing Edward to attack her and punch the mask off her face. Pinning Saito to a wall, Edward is surprised to discover that she is a woman, just as two of her ninja arrive for backup.
Meanwhile, on the ship's deck, the Japanese ninja become furious at being used as cannon fodder and refuse to follow Saito's commands anymore. The Cantonese ninja prepare to fight the deserters, but both factions are interrupted by Madam Lee and her men, who have come to steal the opium shipment. As the ninja engage in battle with Lee's men, Edward continues his fight against Saito and her bodyguards in the gunpowder room. He manages to escape after tossing one of the ninja into the other, although Saito vows to make the Assassin pay for the humiliation he made her endure. Upon being informed by one of her men of the situation on deck, Saito declares this a lost battle and orders a retreat.
As the suviving ninja make their escape, Edward notices Lee's men carrying crates of opium off the ship and attempts to stop them. Lee orders him to get out of the way or he will be branded an enemy, to which Edward responds by shooting a lantern, causing burning oil to spill and set off a nearby firework. This signals Edward to leap off the ship before a cannonball hits the deck.
