The world has two paths:
A world that has been ruined, and a world that will be ruined.
What are you doing, striking a pose in such a high place?
You're just a bear.
They don't take note of my heroism...
That aside, what are we going to do from now on?
It's been a while since our fuel ran out... and I'm hungry.
Don't worry, this will show us the path to destroy the world.
Wow, it can serve as a compass, huh?
But before we bring the world to its downfall, it looks like we ourselves are going to fall... from starvation...
Ah! Maybe that thing has a can-opening function!
There's no way!
The only thing it can do is destroy the world.
But as they say, "nothing ventured, nothing gained!"
What are you saying? Give it back!
Stop it!
Why did it come to this?
Why have I, a hero, fallen into the hands of the World Destruction Committee?
I must do something about that Destruct Code.
Hey you guys, canned food is all well and good, but this bottle--
Is it another sand-octopus? Or maybe a sand-whale?
That is... the World Salvation Committee's sand-submersible!
Sand-submersible...?
We've found them by accident!
Fire!
But, the Destruct Code...
A mere torpedo won't destroy it...
We can take our time retrieving it afterward.
Just fire it off!
All of a sudden?!
Run, kuma!
We can't find their corpses... or the Destruct Code.
They got away, huh?
They should still be nearby!
Gather the other World Salvation Committee members and have them search!
Yes, sir!
Now, your final parting...
Morte...
You've awakened?
Where...?
This is my sand-ship.
This person saved us.
Just when I was passing through this place...
If I hadn't found you, you'd all be at the bottom in the stomach of a sand-snake right about now.
Thank you!
Oh?
You're surprisingly gracious... for the World Destruction Committee.
This was posted all over the port this morning.
Wait just a moment, I'm not...
I'm not either, kuma!
Don't be so nervous.
I'm not your enemy.
I'm a transporter known as Agan.
As long as I receive payment, I'll transport anything.
Even if it is the World Destruction Committee.
Bluntly... how much do you have on you?
Are you blackmailing us?
We are the World Destruction Committee.
Er, it's not "we..."
How long are you going to hold onto that? Give it back!
So that's the Destruct Code, eh?
I heard about it as a kid...
The hidden treasure that holds the power to destroy the world...
The legend of the Destruct Code.
It's supposed to be hidden somewhere in this world...
Like at the bottom of the sea, or beneath a glacier.
If that's the real Destruct Code, then it's a real treasure!
Don't touch it! Of course it's real.
Well, we've only heard it can destroy the world, but we have no idea how to use it.
You shut up!
If you don't even know how to use it, then how do you know it's the real thing?
The person who had this would never lie.
Well, whatever. I believe you.
If it's in exchange for that Destruct Code, I'll take you wherever you want.
I'll never hand this over!
Then, pay in cash.
Right now, this is all I have.
If you only have that much, you couldn't even buy this can of sand-whale.
All right, I'll take care of this, kuma!
Who was that; where are you?
Down here, kuma! I'll take care of it, I said, kuma!
What's with this bear?
It talks?
Don't call me a bear, kuma!
But, you are a bear!
Well, whatever. With this, I'll transport you.
In any case, I was heading for the pleasure-ship, Jifnir.
What IS a pleasure-ship, anyway?
Just as the name suggests, it's a place where anything related to pleasure can be found.
From illegal casinos, to beautiful women, to secret clubs forbidden to the under-aged, anything goes.
Well, that's it.
Now, all that remains are you guys.
Hurry up and get off.
Here?!
This is the farthest you can go with that much money.
You'll have to go the rest of the way on the pleasure-ship.
You tricked us, kuma!
Don't say things like that!
The pleasure-ship is a place without law.
There, it doesn't matter whether you are human or beast-man.
In other words, it's the perfect place for wanted people like you!
Sounds interesting! Let's go!
K-kuma!
Look, you too, get going!
See you again!
Next time, make sure you have more money, and I'll take you anywhere you want!
Oh, to the bear over there! We have a good girl for you; would you like to come by?
I'm fine, kuma.
It would be troublesome if I moved around carelessly and got caught up in something bothersome, kuma.
It would be wise to hide until we reach a port, kuma.
I don't really mind, but could you stop adding "-kuma" to the end of your sentences?
Yeah, your voice is the only tough thing about you, Toppi!
That's the one thing I can't do, kuma!
It's the proof of my people's pride, kuma!
Sorry!
Why is that girl on the pleasure-ship?
Who knows...
Enter.
What are you?
It's nice to meet you.
I am Naja from the World Salvation Committee, and this is Ri A.
The ones behind us are our subordinates.
Well, what kind of business does the World Salvation Committee have on this ship?
Recently, some World Destruction Committee members vanished into the sea near here.
There is a possibility that they ran onto this ship.
If you find them, I'd like you to hand them over to us.
I refuse.
What do you mean?
There are neither beast-men, humans, nor criminals here.
This pleasure-ship Jifnir is the only place in the world that is not controlled by anyone.
If you want to search, go ahead.
We will neither interfere nor cooperate.
I see... If it's like that...
This is delicious!
Really?
I opened this can of sand-whale!
Thanks for waiting. I borrowed a bottle-opener.
Hmmm? Where's Morte?
Until just now, she was definitely here... She's not here, kuma.
It's your win.
Of course it is... I have strong luck.
If I didn't, I wouldn't have survived this long.
Next, put all of this on black.
Are you sure? Then...
We found them.
Wait, Ri A.
Why did you stop me, Naja?
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do."
Why don't we go along with this ship's ways for a bit?
There's no reason to force yourself to search for her, kuma.
From the beginning, we weren't comrades or anything of the sort, kuma.
But we've come this far together... If something were to happen to Morte...
You haven't... fallen in love with her, by any chance, kuma?
Huh? Did you say something?
It's nothing, kuma.
In any case, there's no reason to get involved any further with that woman, kuma.
But she could end up losing her shirt in the casino...
She's not the type to lose her shirt without a fight, kuma.
She seems like she'd be the type that would be really good at gambling, kuma.
But...
I am humbled.
Young lady... it looks like you have the good luck of goddesses, the world is over attached to you tonight.
How about it? Would you like to play a game of cards against me next?
There are two types of women, kuma.
Women who can live on their own, and those who can't.
Morte is the type that can live on her own, kuma.
So are you saying it's all right to not save women who can live on their own?!
Even though you're a hero?!
Heroes are busy, kuma.
There are plenty of others that need help out there, kuma.
Ah, that girl from before...
Girls like that are those that need a hero, kuma.
Hurry up and call out to her, kuma!
What, me?! Why?
Come on, hurry up, kuma!
Hey you... What's wrong?
This isn't a place for a little girl to come alone.
What? Leave me alone.
This doesn't have anything to do with you people.
Umm... maybe this girl is the type of girl that can live on her own?
Wait, kuma.
If you have some kind of problem, talk, kuma.
We might be able to help, kuma.
What's with this bear?
Don't say bear, kuma!
Calm down. Maybe you happen to be searching for someone?
I came to bring my father back.
He got addicted to gambling and has been hanging around this ship forever.
He ended up building up a large debt, and then he got caught.
That is...
It's "you reap what you sow," kuma.
If you want to help, give me some money.
Then I can bring my father back.
We don't have any money, kuma.
Then I don't have any business with you.
Ah, wait a moment...
This is bad!
So... what will you do?
I'll stand.
Well then.
Unlike roulette, when playing cards, keeping calm and analyzing the situation are the paths to victory.
You can't just win with luck.
You've got to use this.
Are you saying I'm not using my head?!
I didn't say that.
Do you want play one more round?
Of course! With this, I'll take it all back in a moment!
Well, that's a bold move indeed... Are you certain?
It seems like the goddess of luck is with me.
Well then, I'll take this without hesitation...
How about this? Why don't we have one more game to let you take it all back?
I'm broke. I don't have a single gold coin.
How about something you own?
Like the Destruct Code... Morte Ashera?
If you win, all this gold will be yours; and if you lose, the Destruct Code will be mine.
How annoying! There's no reason to take such a roundabout method when we can just take it by force!
Sounds interesting! I'll take you up on your offer!
That's the way it should be!
Why?
What is it? Are you going to run?
I won't run. Let's go!
Where's my father?!
I want you to return my father!
What a lively child...
I could release him, but what about his debt?
Do you have that kind of money?
I don't have any money, but I have something else of worth.
A treasure with the power to destroy the world... the Destruct Code!
That's mine!
You, where did you get that?!
You played with this?!
She's pretty good!
Ah, sand-whale!
We should have just taken it by force from the very beginning!
You lowly raccoon!
Hand it over... that Destruct Code.
Kyrie!
Ri A!
Let's go, while we have the chance, kuma!
You're coming, too!
I'm not going... I'll go after saving my father
You can come back again to save him later.
It would be better to run for now.
I'm fine... The ones that are being chased are you guys, the World Destruction Committee, right?
It's as she says. Let's go!
But...
If you sell that, you should be able to get a gold piece.
I won't give you the Destruct Code, but you can use that as a start to get your father back.
Thank you.
They got away.
I'm sorry, I...
World destruction...
Why destruction?
I'm a little interested.
Well then, see ya. I'm going. Sorry for getting you two involved.
Huh?!
Kuma?
Hey, wait!
It'll be troublesome if we get stuck here!
What? You're going to come along?
It's not quite that...
But Toppi and I are already on the wanted posters...
If you want come along, go ahead.
Oh yeah! Why don't we leave off on destroying the world and go on a journey to help people?
I mean, we ended up helping someone out in the end...
It'll help everyone if this world was brought to ruin...
What are we going to do, Toppi...?
Well, for now, I'll stick with you guys a little longer, kuma.
It's a bit sudden, but we've been caught!
The place we've wandered into is a prison controlled by Wolf-men!
We need to get away before those two from the World Salvation Committee come!
Next time, World Destruction, Episode 3.
There are Two Ways for a Beast-man.
Huh? Where's Toppi?
He's over there, acting depressed.
A hero in prison...
What's going on... kuma?!
