I own Nothing

For those of you who have played The Assassins Creed games feel free to share your Favourite Sync point in the AC series in the Review box for everyone to see. If you have a favourite Sync point share it as well as the game it is from and a reason, if you have multiple and can't decide...add them all or just the name of the game that you feel had the best Sync points.

Mine up until a last year was in AC Brotherhood, jumping off them and taking para-shoot glided tour over the city was always enjoyable...as was landing on the guards below. However Since AC Unity came out that has changed, I loved the Snyc points in Unity. Say what you will about Unity but the Sync points and the birds eye view of Paris was spectacular...that is probably one of the things that game did right...once the patch came out and fixed 90% of texture the glitches.

Although the Pyramids of Gizer was an amazing place to put a Sync point...you couldn't leap of faith off them and that was a downer for me

As always Please Review

Luffy, Chopper, Usopp, Connor, Tonjit, Foxy, Porche and Hamburg made their way back to where their two ships had docked. Luffy was eager to start playing the games with the other pirate crew but Foxy said a few things had to be done first before the games could start and failure to do so would dishonour and likely anger Davy Jones.

When they got back to where the two pirate ships were docked the whole area had been turned into a festival grounds. Complete with various food stores, ice cream, fairy floss(1), a fairest wheel, a stage which currently had a live band playing some music curtesy of Foxy's musions.

There were even banners, lanterns and flags set up. A few people were also selling drinks and a bit further away there were some pirates setting up some firework launchers. While there were a lot of people around every one of them had the same black mask and ears that Porche and Hamburg wore.

"Woah...it's like a festival," Luffy cheered "I love Festivals,"

Usopp slapped him.

"Don't get caught up in the atmosphere," Usopp scolded.

"Why not? the old man is," Luffy said.

He gestured to Tonjit who was at a food stand ordering two serves of fried noodles.

"DON'T SUPPORT THIS!" Usopp yelled.

"Who are all these people?" Chopper asked as he observed everyone.

"There my men of course," Foxy said proudly.

"What...all of them?" Luffy asked.

"That's right...the boss has exactly 500 pirates under his command," Porche said proudly.

"Whoa...that's incredible," Luffy said in awe "for someone who has a funny looking head,"

Foxy's face instantly went from shocked to severely depressed and he fell to his knees dramatically and a small gloomy cloud appeared over his head.

"H...H...H...He said I look funny...I'm not funny looking...I'm just perfect the way I am," Foxy muttered.

"Hey you don't insult our boss," Porche warned "he's very sensitive,"

"He has a glass heart," Hamburg chuckled.

"Hamburg stop laughing...this isn't funny," Porche scolded.

"Ha ha ha...this guy is funny," Luffy laughed and pointed at Foxy.

While Luffy was making fun of Foxy and Porche was trying to get Foxy to snap out of his depression; Connor observed the surroundings, curios as to how all this was set so quickly. Once Foxy had recovered Connor went over to him

"How did you get this set up so quickly?" he asked.

Foxe gave a sly smile.

"I have about 150 shipwrights, they're all very talented and very good at what they do," Foxy claimed "They can set up bigger festivals than this in no time,"

"You have over 150 shipwrights?" Usopp asked.

"That's right...why how many do you have?" Foxy asked.

"None...we're on the lookout for one," Usopp admitted.

"You know if you win a game you can take one of mine as a prize," Foxy stated.

"Huh...that would save us a lot of trouble," Usopp thought.

"Tell you what...if you win and you want to pick a shipwright I will point out the top three in my crew for you to choose from," Foxy promised.

"Really...you're actually a nice guy for someone who looks so sketchy," Luffy smiled.

Foxy fell back into his depressed state and Luffy just laughed.

Usopp sighed, once Porche had snapped Foxy out of his depressed state she, Foxy and Hamburg wandered off to prepare for the start of the Davy Back Fights. Connor noticed Nami, Robin and Zoro were on their way over to meet them...though Sanji wasn't with them.

"Hey look, Nami and the others are coming," Connor pointed out.

Usopp turned and saw them and he ran over to Nami.

"NAMIIIIIIII!" Usopp cried "LUFFY DID SOMETHING STUPID!"

"I heard," Nami said irritably and then punched Usopp in the face.

"Usopp!" Chopper panicked.

Nami then hit Chopper, Usopp and Connor on the heads leaving large bumps.

"What was that for?" Usopp asked.

"You were sent to stop him from doing things like this!" She yelled.

"I...I...I'm sorry..." Connor said fearfully.

Nami glared at him and she marched up to Luffy, she hit him too and began pulling on his face.

"Why the hell did you agree to play a Davy Back Fight?!" Nami yelled "Don't you know

"Yeah, that funny looking guy explained it to me," Luffy claimed.

"Then why did you agree?" Nami asked "we could lose people in this,"

"He said it was a game...games are fun," Luffy claimed.

Nami's eyes twitched and she hit Luffy again. Zoro and Robin walked up to the them and Connor looked up at Zoro, he was afraid that Zoro would be angry with him too. But the swordsman walked past him and headed for the beer stand, Robin however stopped behind Connor.

"Connor are you alright?" Robin asked.

Connor turned and looked at her.

"I'm sorry...i didn't know," Connor tried "Nobody ordered me to stop him,"

Robin bent down on her knees so she was eye level with Connor.

"Connor it's not your fault," Robin assured.

"But..." Connor started.

Just then Sanji came over with hearts in his eyes holding two sticks of pink Fairy Floss(1).

"Robin-chawn...I got you some Fairy..." Sanji started and then he noticed Connor "Connor...what's wrong?"

"Connor thinks it's his fault that we're playing a Davy Back game because he didn't stop Luffy," Robin explained.

"Why does he think that?" Sanji asked.

"Nami...she said that we were supposed to stop Luffy from doing things like this...but i didn't know we were," Connor claimed.

Sanji sighed, he handed Robin a stick of pink Fairy Floss(1) and offered the other one to Connor.

"Here," he said and held out the other sick.

Connor took the stick and looked at it sadly.

"You didn't know this would happen, none of us knew that this would happen," Robin claimed.

"Yeah besides Luffy is a childish moron, so when some weirdo comes up and says he wants to play a game with him...well of course Luffy is going to play," Sanji claimed.

"But...Foxy said...that if he won a game he would take one of us as his prize...I don't want to leave," Connor claimed.

"You're a child; it is more than likely that they will overlook you," Sanji claimed "after all having a kid on board a pirate ship is a burden,"

"SANJI GET OVER HERE!" Nami yelled.

"Yes Nami-Swaaannnnn," Sanji cried and ran over to the navigator and ran off leaving Connor alone with Robin.

"There see nothing to worry about," Robin smiled.

Connor didn't respond, there was only one thing on his mind.

'I...I'm a burden?' Connor thought to himself.

Robin could tell that Connor was still a bit upset so she took him on a ride on the Fairest Wheel; this seemed to cheer the boy up as he had never been on one before. The cab they were in stopped at the top giving a nice view of the area and the plains.

"Whoa...you can see everything from up here," Connor said in awe.

"Not quite everything but yes, the view is spectacular," Robin agreed.

Connor stared out his side of the window and then went to Robin's side and looked out over the ocean and the coast line. Robin watched him with a smile as it seemed the ride had worked and Connor had forgotten about his previous worries. Suddenly Connors eyes turned yellow and he stared out the window.

Connor wasn't sure why he activated his sight, but the second he did he instantly felt like he was, every little detail of the island rushed into his head. He could see Tonjits house, he could see the two ships and he could see a reef on the opposite side of the island and how to pass through it, he could even see a sea monsters nest off shore northwest of the island.

Despite most of this being out of his rage of vision he knew exactly where everything was. Connor didn't know how or why...but he liked this feeling. He kept his sight on for a moment then his eyes went back to normal, he used his sight again but the feeling was gone as was his enhanced view of the island.

Connor frowned wondering what had happened, but despite this he still remembered what he had seen and for now that was enough for him and he wondered if this was part of the evolution process that Edward had mentioned or a sign that his sight really was getting stronger.

Connor wished Edward hadn't been from a different time as he still had more questions about his gift. Never the less when the ride was over Robin and Connor headed back to the others.

"So your first Fairest Wheel ride...did you like it?" Robin asked as they walked.

"Yeah it was fun," Connor smiled "and I really like this pink stuff to...it was like eating a cloud,"

"It's called Fairy Floss(1)," Robin supplied.

"Connor when we were at the top of the fairest wheel...why did you activate your sight?" Robin asked curiously.

"Umm...Don't know...it just felt right," Connor answered "But I am glad we came in on this part of the island,"

"Oh why's that?" Robin asked.

There's this huge coral reef on the opposite side of the island," Connor claimed "the coral is so big and thick that it sticks out of the ocean like as tall as trees and creates all these whirlpools at the base,"

"Really...that sounds dangerous," Robin claimed.

"Yeah, but only for small boats like rafts and stuff. The Merry would never be able to fit through it," Connor claimed.

"Oh well I guess we won't be going on any small boat rides while we're here," Robin claimed

"You can pass if you go through approach it from the correct angle," Connor claimed.

"And what is the right angle?" Robin asked.

"I don't know...but there are two large coral stems that cross over and form a low arch, if you were in a small boat and you ducked then you could fit underneath," Connor explained.

"If you enter the reef from there then the currents of all the whirlpools will guide you through the reef, weaving between the coral like trees," Connor claimed "I bet it would be a fun ride,"

"I'm sure it would be," Robin agreed.

"But after that it'd get dangerous," Connor claimed "a bit further on there are some underwater vents that erupt every ten seconds…but only if the water is disturbed…I bet even a small boat gliding along the surface would set it off,"

"Underwater...vents?" Robin asked suspiciously.

"Yeah but after that there's this bamboo forest, I bet that's where Tonjit got his stilts from..it's not far from where we docked...did you know I've never seen Bamboo before today," Connor continued.

"Connor..." Robin interrupted.

Connor stoped talking and looked at her.

"how do you know this?" she asked.

"I saw it from the fairest wheel...you know when we were at the top and I was looking over the cast line," Connor claimed.

"You...saw this from the top of the farist wheel?" Robin asked.

"Yeah you were there...didn't you see it too?" Connor asked.

Robin blinked and stared at the boy for a moment.

"Connor...you have such a wild imagination," Robin chuckled.

"But I'm not imagining it," Connor claimed.

"Of course not," Robin smiled.

"I'm not...really...Robin I'm not imagining things I really did see it," Connor claimed and ran to catch up with the archaeologist.

They headed back to the main area and found that most of the Foxy Pirates had gathered in front of the stage where both Luff and Foxy were sitting on chairs on the stage and Luffy was eating some noodles. The rest of the straw hats were by themselves in away from the crowd. Nami did not look happy at all.

"Oh there you two are, where'd you go?" Zoro asked as he saw Robin and Connor approach.

"We took a ride on the fairest wheel," Robin answered with a smile.

"Well there about to start the Davy Back Fight," Sanji said.

The crew turned their attention to the stage to see Porche in front of a microphone.

"Attention all Pirates, welcome to another round of the Davy Back Fights," Porche announced "Before we begin I will explain the rules for those that have not participated in Davy Back Fights,"

"Rule 1: The contestants for each event are chosen by the captains before the game begins, All Contestants can only participate in one event and the contestants cannot be changed," Porche started

"Rule 2: If a crew member is lost in one event, they can be won back in the next event, but not in future Davy Back Fights after the current one is over, unless the captains of both crews involved agree to another Davy Back competition," she continued.

"Rule 3: All crew members that are won must immediately swear permanent allegiance and loyalty to their new captain no matter who they may be," Porche finished "Do the captains agree and swear to abide these rules?"

"I swear," Foxy declared.

"Me too," Luffy agreed "Can I have some more noodles?"

"There are other supplementary rules of course that will only be invoked under cretin situations, should a situation occur that affects a supplementary rule we will let you know what they are," Porche added.

The rest of the straw hats had been watching from the back.

"Seems fair enough," Zoro said.

"You know for a game that wages crew members...these rules are cover a lot and make it fair on both sides," Sanji commented.

"Why...why are we doing this?" Nami moaned.

"What are you so upset about?" Zoro asked.

"Obviously if we lose I am going to be the one chosen, I'm cute and clearly the most obvious and valuable remember of this crew," Nami pointed out.

"Self-Proclaimed cute and most valuable member of the crew is more like it," Zoro muttered.

Nami's eye twitched and she swiftly beat up Zoro.

"Now than Straw hat I'll let you pick, 1,2 or three coins," Foxy said as he held out three beli in between his fingers.

"Ummm what?" Luffy asked.

"It's the number of games we play, as you were challenged you get to pick," Porche clarified.

"Oh I see...well more games means more fun," Luffy reasoned.

"LUFFY!" Usopp and Nami's voices were herd.

Luffy looked over to see Nami and Usopp both at the back of the crowed and both had their hands out with a single finger indicating one. Luffy looked at them and smiled.

"Okay got it...I pick three games," Luffy declared and held out three fingers.

"NOOOOO!" Nami and Usopp screamed.

"3 Games it is," Foxy declared he then threw the coins up into the air and they landed in the ocean.

"Hear that Davy Jones, we play three games in your name," Foxy cried.

"And now let the games begin," Proche announced and the foxy pirates cheered.

Porche headed Luffy a piece of paper and told him to write down the names of his crew on which event they wanted to participate in. Luffy got down from the stage and went over to his crew and was met with a very angry Nami and Usopp

"Man three whole fun filled games...I can hardly wait," Luffy said happily.

"How did you get 3 from 1?" Usopp asked.

"What are you talking about? you all had 1 finger up each," Luffy claimed.

"Don't tell me...he added both our fingers together," Nami moaned.

"Yeah but even if he did that wouldn't make three," Usopp pointed up.

"Oh he had one up too," Luffy said and pointed to Hamberg who was standing next to them.

Nami and Usopp looked at Hamberg in surprise as they had not noticed him earlier.

"WHY THE HELL WERE YOU VOTING?!" they both yelled.

"Your captains an idiot," Hamberg laughed before walking off.

The Foxy pirate who was running the noodle stand came over to Luffy.

"Your noddles sir," he said and held out a plate of noodles.

"Thanks," Luffy said gratefully and took the food "isn't this Davy Back thing the best...all the free food,"

Nami and Usopp moaned. They headed back to the rest of the crew where they were gathered and Luffy handed the piece of paper over to Robin.

"I was given this but I don't know what to do with it," Luffy said.

"It looks like a starting line-up...we put our names under which event that we want to participate in," Robin said.

"Do we know what kind of events they are?" Sanji asked.

"The events are a race, Team sport and combat," Robin read out.

"Does it say what the actual events are?" Chopper asked.

"No, only that they fit into one of each of these categories," Robin answered.

"It's a start," Nami sighed.

She looked at the paper trying to determine who should do what.

"Okay first off...Luffy should do combat alone," Nami said "he's strong enough to take on a Shibki and i doubt the other crew can make the same claim,"

"Yeah a fight," Luffy cheered.

"What about the other two?" Usopp asked.

"I think Zoro, Sanji and Chopper should do the sporting event," Nami said.

"Is it wise to put all our heaver hitters in the one event?" Robin asked.

"If it's a sporting event then yes, you need strength speed and endurance and those three have abundance of that," Nami pointed out.

"That leaves Usopp, Robin, Connor and me for the race," Nami said.

"I really don't want to compete," Connor claimed.

"Me either but we have no choice, at least the race is most likely the safest out of the thee," Nami claimed.

"I have I-Can't-Go-First-syndrome again," Usopp claimed.

"Suck it up," Zoro said.

"Okay we'll just swap you and Luffy then," Sanji said casually.

"NO I'M GOOD TO RACE!" Usopp cried.

Nami nodded in satisfaction and went to go hand the paper in, Connor however decided to take the opportunity to ask Robin something.

"Hey Robin…who's Davy Jones?" Connor asked.

"A cursed pirate who lives at the bottom of the ocean," Robin answered "Legend says he steals things that fall into the sea. Ships, Treasure…even people,"

"Really?" Chopper asked fearfully, who had been listening.

"Yes apparently his greed and lust for treasure cursed him to forever be banned from the surface so he now steals anything that falls into the sea," Robin explained "he lives in deepest darkest depths of the ocean,"

"Is he really down there?" Connor asked.

"So the stories say, for a while captains of ships used to throw some coins into the ocean before they set off on long voyages in exchange for safe passage," Robin claimed "But that is an old sailors superstition,"

"The bottom of the ocean is a scary place," Chopper commented.

"Yes, some say that the reason that Devil Fruit users can't swim in the ocean is because Davy Jones is dragging them down so he can obtain a Devil fruit. The ultimate forbidden treasure of the sea," Robin continued.

"GAHHHH I ATE A DEVIL FRUIT!" Chopper panicked.

"Well you had better not fall into the ocean then," Robin said sweetly "Or else the fruit Davy Jones takes will be yours,"

"NOOOOOOO!" Chopper screamed in fear and ran over to Zoro and jumped on his head covering his face.

"Chopper…get off," Zoro tried, in an annoyed voice as he tried to pull the doctor off him.

Connor watched him run off and then turned to look at Robin.

"Did you make that last part up?" Connor asked.

"Maybe," Robin chuckled.

(1) Fairy Floss is what Cotton Candy is called in Australia.

Fun fact of the Day: Cotton Candy/Fairy Floss was invented in 1897 by a dentist and first introduced to the public at the 1904 World's Fair under the name "Fairy Floss" however it was patented as Cotton Candy to appeal to kids of both genders and its original name faded with time. Australia is the only country in the world today that still sells this treat as Fairy Floss and it is known to the rest of the world as Cotton Candy.

Also this chapter marks the first Synchronise Point for Connor. For those of you who don't know Synchronise Points in the AC games unlock the world map, finding one reveals the area and all its landmarks, shops and other notable points on the map.

In this story it using Eagle vision at a high place where one can see virtually everything clearly it the user will instinctively see and know everything about the island. It will not tell the user everything though, they will know the rough lay out of the land and locations of landmarks and the nearest town but that is it.

It will not reveal hidden secrets like buried pirate treasure. Should there be any natural danger like whirlpools the user will also be told how to pass by them or through that area safely. Synchronising will only work once per island as once the information has been revealed the user will remember it and it will be up to the user on how to use the information.
