What the fuck were you doing with your life when Assassin’s Creed Black Flag came out? I pretty much rocked drunken sailor on repeat when sailing the seas.

It seems more likely to me than that a captain would bring his daughter onto his ship with a bunch of untrustworthy men and career violence.
I think it’s the latter
