==Plot synopsis==
After killing Rajah, Xiao Han confronts Edward Kenway and demands that he surrender the crescent amulet in his possession. When Edward refuses, the two Assassins engage in a duel, during which Xiao Han is able to immobilize his opponent with a rope dart. After Xiao Han questions how Edward can call himself an Assassin when he opposes the Chinese Brotherhood's cause, Edward calls out Xiao Han's own hypocrisy and compares him to Rajah, who similarly sought his people's freedom but was corrupted by the amulet and only caused more pain and suffering.
However, Xiao Han is unmoved by Edward's words, claiming that his course of action is for him and his brethren alone to decide and that Edward's only part in their cause is to surrender the amulet. At that moment, Shimazu Saito arrives and looses an arrow at the rope dart holding Edward in place while revealing that she has Hendrik's sea log. Edward is relieved that Saito decided to return to him and the two prepare to fight Xiao Han, who is joined by Xue Yan and Liu Qing.
Elsewhere, Rajah's rebels continue cutting the Celestial Chariot's ropes while John Young, having run out of ammunition, watches helplessly. He decides to lower the balloon's flames in the hopes he will be able to make a safe landing, but the Celestial Chariot suddenly begins to crash and John screams in terror.
At the same time, Yun Pyeong-Gyu and Rupiya notice Jeong's fleet approaching Cebu just as the admiral decides to attack the Fenghuang, breaking her promise to wait for the Chinese Assassins' signal. The Fenghuang is able to sink several of Jeong's ships, but with more vessels approaching, Yun decides to unveil his latest invention: Greek fire bombs, which he orders the crew to load into the ship's cannons.

==Behind the scenes==
Prior to attacking the Fenghuang, Jeong's lieutenant mentions that they gave their word on the Pirate's Code to wait for the Chinese Assassins' return, only for the admiral to quickly dismiss him and claim that "the Code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules". This references an identical line said by the s captain to a captive in the 2003 film .
