Mister Walpole, I presume?
During this memory you are introduced to the main Templars, as well as obtaining a pistol and hidden blades. Time for some exploits.
First off you can remove Edward from the scene with Woodes Rogers and Julien du Casse by being in a climbing position. There is a tree that leads to a railing. Walk up it and wiggle as close as you can off the edge. In the rare event you get close enough you can grasp on to it. Then very carefully move along it until you get the scene to start. There's something else you need to know. If you are in a climbing position where your hands are close together it won't remove you from the scene. You don't see it in the video, but I actually move back to the right when the scene is starting. What follows is an introduction to an invisible Edward and a floating pistol.
Early Deaths
Not bad you can kill the main Templars in the same memory of their acquaintance. The opportunity is right after Woodes, Julien, and you are sworn into the Templar order. By tapping the assassinate button in high profile during the end of the scene you get Woodes and Julien in a double assassination (in low profile you just get Woodes). The strange thing is for Edward the killing animation gets cancelled, giving the illusion they just die suddenly, although dying people don't generally just throw themselves onto a table/the ground. When the time comes for one of them to speak no dialogue is audible for the rest of the conversation. The kill/kiils also cause a glitch with the following scene not starting, preventing you form progressing any further in the game.
You can also get Torres this way by moving the left analog stick to the upper left while tapping the assassinate button on high profile. As for the last guy, El Tiburon, he's either out of reach or invincible to assassinations.

The first target in Assassin's Creed IV, Julien du Casse is the captain of a Spanish Galleon in port at Great Inagua. For full sync you need to stay out of combat and finish du Casse with an Air Assassination. I chose to do an Eagle Etrike, which can fulfill both requirements.
The controls have been further simplified for AC4. Basically all sprinting, free running and climbing can be done with two buttons: +
. Even the climb leap maneuver at the beginning of this video is automatic. The only time you need to add
is to force an unsafe jump (such as to initiate an Eagle Strike).
The range of Air Assassinations has been extended to nearly equal the height of a fatal fall. This makes Stunt Assassinations quaint because in most cases you'll be passing up an opportunity for an air in order to do a similar aerial assassination that doesn't work quite as well.
Getting back to the controls, an Eagle Strike begins with +
+
as usual. Catch Ledge has been simplified. You no longer hold
. Instead, you just aim Edward's hands using left
. In this video I held it
. Air Assassinate has also been "simplified" in a way: no more target locking
. Now you just look at someone and press
. This can actually make some assassinations more difficult if your target is in a group or behind you. For this video I used right
during the fall to aim the camera at du Casse.
