Sorry to keep you waiting.
Ah, my stomach is growling.
All right, let's start!
I am going to ascertain the situation again.
Listen to me while you eat.
Time to eat!
If we use this bacon to represent our current location,
Graceland is over here.
It will take us 21 days to get there if we go via a normal route.
If we do that, we would reach it after Bruce's assets have already turned into space dust.
Then, that means we have go through a warp gate.
The nearest gate facility from here is Big Pink located in the Woody star space.
We'll head straight to Graceland via a gate there.
That's the only possible option due to time.
Most likely.
I'm not against it.
Of course, there will be an inspection.
Also, we need to take into consideration that the Guild might be watching.
The Guild?
No matter which star space, there'll be businesses claiming to provide recreation,
but are actually black market fronts which have all kinds of close ties to the Guild.
This is tasty!
Ah, that's the new menu I came up with last month for the Pirate.
Let me try.
Yeah! This is tasty! You are sure amazing, Franca.
Is that so?
Very good!
Even if we do reach Graceland, the area is still engulfed by war.
The rigid body of Giga Banks awaits us as well.
We don't have much time to do what we need to do.
This ship is a bit conspicuous.
Let's sneak into the belly of the enemy before they discover us.
In order to do that, I've set up bait using a special product.
I've sent out a message, with a 1000 space kilometer range, towards Big Pink
saying that the Persian cat wants to eat Akishake.
Note: Akishake, also known as Fall Chum Salmon, is a type of expensive salmon that is primarily produced in Hokkaido.
All right! Time to put the plan into action.
Franca, is there any more of this?
There is. Want me to get you another serving?
Ah, it's fine. I'll do it myself.
There's still some of this left as well.
Oh, thank you.
Sorry!
The escort fleet and the newly developed high-yield explosive, Jupiter, will be launching at 18:00 hours Geteldoba Standard Time.
Even though the date, time and location of the explosives detonation has not been clearly stated yet,
it seems that the sealed gate at Moon Walk is being targeted.
Now, mind telling me...
...why did Maricano revolt?
Viewing the current state of the Guild, there isn't any reason for her to do that.
Mother has her own way of thinking.
Thinking?
We, the 12 Sisters, only need to concern ourselves with Mother's orders.
What do all of you intend to do after gaining control over the Guild?
While you are eating that sushi, have you ever thought about why you are eating that sushi?
Then, what did Marciano order you all to do? Can you tell me that?
You can't?
Ah, fine.
The order Mother gave,
was to go to Planet Ku-Rong to capture Mister and a girl named Franca alive,
and then force the location of the treasure out of them.
Mister and... Franca.
Treasure? What is this about?
Anyway, why do you want to know these things?
Why? Because it's my job.
That's right. Ever since Angelica joined the police, she has always been chasing after Mister.
It's been four years already.
Thanks.
It's been hard work for you then.
There're still a lot of things I don't understand.
Treasure, Franca,
the relationship between Mister and Marciano,
and where Mister is heading to.
I know what their destination is.
You knew?
If it's their destination,
I know it.
Hey Mister.
Would it be possible for the release of the explosives to be cancelled if the war came to an end?
Who knows?
Originally, this war broke out due to a small scuffle between the Federation Government and Graceland's Government.
It's just a foolish war that broke out due to pride.
Which means the situation depends on what those fellows on top say.
Ah, it's such a depressing topic.
I'm going to take a quick look at the autopilot.
You should go and make some preparations as well.
Shut up! Shouldn't you go and start planning how to crack Giga Banks?
Don't be mistaken.
I'm just here to see if this man is fit to be the man who inherits Bruce's assets.
Is that so? Heh!
Yo, what happened? Why are you here alone?
It's nothing.
Hey Katana, what are you going to do once this job is finished?
What am I going to do... who knows?
I never gave much thought about the future.
Franca, what are you going to do? Return to the Pirate?
With Mister...
What can I do with that person?
That person was only with me because of Papa's assets.
That is why I will only be with that person for another five days.
And then everything will end.
Things aren't like that.
Franca, Mister didn't stay with you just for that reason.
That person said that as well.
But I don't know if he's telling the truth.
That might be true, but it might be false as well.
That is why... that is why I didn't hand him the pendent.
If I hand it over... I won't be needed anymore.
That might happen...
Franca...
After this is over, I might be alone once again.
Katana, please don't tell anyone... what I just said.
Okay, I understand.
Ah, we got contacted!
This is the Persian cat, the Persian cat.
Is there any delicious Akishake?
This is the Akishake, we are at the 30 minute mark.
Understood. We'll leave the navigation to you.
Looks like it's progressing smoothly.
Are the preparations all done?
Hi! Nice to meet you, Captain!
What an extraordinary ship! It is a great h-o-nor to be onboard.
Hey, hey! Everyone come and take a look!
This type of Aloha print shirt has a 150 year long history!
Even though it's a bit faded, they are still in very, very, very mint condition!
How about it? It only costs 10,000.
10,000?!
Hey, hey!
You can't touch it! If you touch it, it will get dirty!
How is it? It's very cheap, right?
If you're going out with a girl, the yellow one here is really wonderful!
The yellow one here is said to be made by the legendary designer, Kancha, and it's the only one in our stock!
Only this single piece!
Look, it's so beautiful.
So beautiful.
If you don't like yellow, I have a manly blue one.
It's over here...
Enough, enough! That's enough!
More importantly, where's the sample?
Huh?
Persia! The Persia!
Oh my, girls don't like an impulsive man.
The process is important, no matter what job it is.
Hey, get it analyzed.
Yes.
How is it?
99.99%, it's of a high purity.
How is it?
Of course I want it.
Thank you very much!
The Captain has bought a nice one!
By the way, where is this ship heading to next?
We are planning to go to Afusai via Big Pink.
If it's all right with you, how about we travel together like this?
If it's difficult, then ignore what I said.
Don't bring me any trouble.
Thank you very much!
The restriction on vintage goods is getting harsher and harsher!
Ah, that's tough on you.
Executive officer, do you want one as well?
No, I...
Look, how's this color?
I think it suits you very well!
Hey, hey!
Hey! A refined man like you should have this.
Ah, those two will cost a hundred, no, ninety is fine.
I get it.
Since you are so insistent, I'll have both of them.
Thanks for your purchase!
Wallet...
Ah, I'll hold on to that.
Ah, thanks.
Undergoing docking procedure.
Preparing to enter port.
All right, maintain course and advance at slowest speed.
All crew, man your respective stations.
Understood, advancing at slowest speed.
Ship number BQ664582, you are clear to dock.
Please maintain your current course.
Repeating.
Ship number BQ664582...
Please... let this go smoothly.
Gate passed. Entering scanning phase next.
Ship number BQ664582.
We are going to start scanning you.
Please maintain your current speed.
This is the control room,
the inspection of ship number BQ664582 has ended.
Please follow navigation signals 75 to 8 to gate A6.
After docking, all crew and passengers onboard are subject to checks...
What's with that outfit?
I wanted to try this at least once.
It looks damn horrid.
Is that so? Isn't this super cool?
Mister, you're getting old. Isn't that so, Franca?
I think it's definitely like that...
Well, well. It has gone smoothly so far.
Time to drink a cup of tea or something to relax...
The gate leading to Graceland has been shutdown.
Well, well. The next thing is...
Even though the entrance is shut, if the gate itself is still functioning,
we just need to find a chance to sneak in there, right?
That kind of amateur plan barely worked in Sandvil.
Shut up! I've had enough of you!
There's a way, right?
Then I shall explain it to you all.
The gate that leads to Graceland is here.
This is how the terminal works.
From the looks of it, the gate is definitely operated via a remote link by the control tower.
We need to terminate this first, then we can manually operate the gate.
Hey, hey. How do we terminate the remote link when we don't have the blueprints?
I have the blueprints.
When we were at Ku-Rong, I asked those guys at the Pirate for help.
You have everything well planned out.
Please wait up, Miss Angelica!
Please don't be so reckless.
Of course I'll be reckless!
When we went to the police, they said that was not the place and told us to go to the public security department.
At the public security department, they told us to go to the 1st division and then the 2nd division and so on.
They are shoving aside all responsibility. Those government officials are not one bit useful!
Hah! Aren't you a government official as well?
Ah! Stop!
Damn you!
Hey stop it, stop it!
Shut up!
Wait, Miss Angelica!
Stop it! I'm getting giddy! Giddy!
That can be considered evidence as well.
Don't do anything rash!
Looks like dear Angelica has an antenna or something that can track down our boss here.
Amazing.
If that's the case, we can't remain idle here.
Let's go.
What's wrong, Franca?
What a beautiful place.
Did Graceland give out these kinds of vibes in the past?
That's Aquaria. "Never change," that means remaining the same for all eternity?
Mister, have you been to that place?
No, we are not blessed to see such a wonderful place.
I see.
Eh, what is it?
Hey, hey.
Please wait a bit for me.
Yo! Got a second to spare?
Welcome, how may I help you?
Well... I kind of like the poster you pasted outside.
Can you sell it to me for ten thousand?
Uh... that is a bit...
You can't?
It's troubling...
Then if I sign up for this trip, that's fine, right? Eh?
Y-Yes...
All right! Five tickets from Planet Ku-Rong to Aquaria. Let's go everyone!
It'll be a way of celebrating Graceland being successfully conquered!
That's great!
Hey, hey, feeling pretty free?
You are saying that again, you're getting old.
There's no need for you to worry about me.
We'll split up into three groups.
First, we will shift the Coyote from the Guild's ship towards the gate.
Then we will terminate the control tower's remote link.
Damn! In the end, I'm doing this...
Then, we will open the gate that leads to Graceland.
Chief, in the list of ships that have requested entry,
the registration code of Marciano's ship from the Guild has been identified.
We didn't receive any notification.
They are requesting the list of ships that have docked.
What should we do?
Do as they requested.
But...
It's fine, do as they request.
Don't concern yourself with unnecessary things.
Do you want this terminal to be destroyed?
Eternally... eh?
After Katana and Swamp set off on the Coyote,
they will leave the anchorage and head straight for the gate to Graceland.
You will need to hurry up and go at top speed.
If you get discovered, force your way through.
You guys are good at that, right?
Bishop, once you finish terminating the remote link, head straight towards the gate to Graceland.
You make it sound so easy! Damn it!
Isn't it your specialty to break past the security of unknown systems to prevent them from triggering?
There shouldn't be any problems, right?
Chief!
There is a system error for the gate to Graceland.
Has it broken down again?
What should we do?
Since it's not in use, just contact the repair center.
All right, time to go!
This is Katana.
And Swamp!
So far there's been no problem. We are in the midst of heading towards the gate.
This is the magnificent Bishop, I will never fail.
As above, mission completed.
Ah... It's over here...
Where the hell is this?
I've already told you.
Send the police to the gate to Graceland,
then perform a stricter check on the people that have arrived.
Telling me these things so suddenly...
You are in charge of this place, right?
We are running out of time.
Even though I'm in charge, I can't make a decision by myself.
We have entered the holding area. We are maintaining speed and heading towards the gate to Graceland.
Completed analysis on the list of people that have entered.
After counterchecking their personal data, I have identified five people.
There is a 95% possibility of them being our targets.
Set out the ship-borne vessels towards the gate to Graceland while the combat troops get ready.
Also, inform the control tower to relay the images of the security camera located at the gate entrance to us.
Now, you should all get ready as well.
Yes, Mother.
Canned peach, canned peach.
Can we eat this first?
Franca, how's your side going?
I'm finished now.
All right, let's open it!
We did it!
Where are we going this time?
To the gate to Graceland.
Is that all right? Without permission...
If Mister's destination is Graceland,
he will go there without fail, right?
Well, even a kid knows that.
Geez, Miss Angelica you are...
The gate has opened, hurry up!
Boss, this is bad!
We are being pursued by the Guild's combat vessels.
Are you serious!?
I don't get this!
Give me a break...
Where the hell is this place?!
Stop fooling around, hurry up.
Come, time to gather up.
It's impossible to meet up right now.
We'll get eliminated if we slow down. What should we do?
Out! Th-This is!
Bishop! To your right!
They've started attacking?
Finished preparations?
Yes, Mother.
