Bruce...
In the end, the one who obtains your assets isn't your daughter, but me.
Well... isn't that splendid?
It's your fault since you died.
Millennium Dog Mk II.
It's a shuttle manufactured by the Millennium Company when they were still in business.
Let's see... the model year is...
Eh! G.C 1992?!
This ship was made the same year my grandfather was born!
Can this thing still move?
It is still in active service.
You might as well dump this kind of scrapped vessel.
Let's swap to a ship of the newest model.
No way, that's a waste.
A waste?
After all, this type of vintage car is the coolest!
Wow, amazing! The navigation speed can be manually changed mid-flight!
Wow! Look, look! I wonder what that switch does!
Are you damaged?
Chelsea. Chelsea, come here for a while.
What is it, Miss Angelica?
Can you help me load these into the shuttle?
Are these all food?!
Yes.
That kid, Franca was in high spirits.
There's no longer a need for us to worry about her.
Since then, she has always lived with adults,
and has always handled things tactfully.
That is why...
Once this job has been completed,
we should return Franca to her childhood, right?
Main engine is fine.
Calibration of the landing system has been completed.
All sections of the ship are green.
All systems are functioning normally.
Commence the operation to land on Graceland.
A communication vessel is landing at gate seven.
Runway, clear.
We have obtained the command directives issued by Admiral Mill for Staff Officer Malconomoid.
Good work.
Carrier pigeon, eh?
Yes, Sir.
Even with the development in communication and electronic mediums,
we still end up using such primitive, manual methods.
We had to maintain secrecy and prevent information from leaking out.
Doing this is in line with what the Federation Government wants.
After all, this is quite an important mission, Staff Officer, Sir.
Indeed.
Staff Officer Malconomoid. There's good news.
General Vonek from the Graceland Liberation Army has,
at this very last minute, agreed to a peace conference.
We are now secretly in the midst of preparing the conference.
Good. If things go well, we do not need to release the bomb anymore.
Yes.
However, I still need you to carry on and go to Graceland.
If the people within the Liberation Army who are against a peace conference come to know about it,
those who see the whole situation might be prevented from coming.
Which is to say, no matter where, there will always be people who resist.
Also, the negotiation with Vonek and the Commanding Office of the Liberation Army has been decided to take place onboard that ship.
Senator Hillrit from the Department of Foreign Affairs is heading there as the Ambassador Plenipotentiary.
What is it?
Based on the information that was just received from the Graceland reconnaissance fleet...
One of the Guild's battleships is attempting to land on Graceland.
Guild's battleship? We understand.
What should we do?
Why at such a time?
Are they selling weapons?
No. We have to take into consideration that the Liberation Army might have called them.
Then, if participating in the peace conference is a ploy for them to buy time...
For now, we can't blow the matter up until the peace conference table has been set up.
Tell the reconnaissance fleet not to do anything.
Yes, Sir.
So, are you still going to Graceland?
Yes.
Thanks a lot for the shuttle. It's very cool!
I give up.
The truth is that I had hoped this would make you give up.
I thank you for your efforts.
Yup, yup!
Earlier, the Guild's battleship had started descending upon Graceland.
In battle with the Federation Forces?
Um, no. The Federation Forces aren't doing anything. Which is to say, they are turning a blind eye to it. Basically...
The launch of the photon bomb is going as planned.
No matter what the Guild does, the battle situation will remain the same. It's appropriate to think like that, right?
Even so, are you still descending there?
Yes. It's my job after all.
Yup.
Descending speed is fine. Sixty more seconds until we touch down on the designated location.
No anomalies noted in the region. Landing point clear.
Reverse thrusters activated.
Touching down on the designated location.
All crew, prepare to disembark.
Now, time to start searching for the treasure.
Ah...
That bitch, Marciano has most likely started to search for the treasure.
That's not good news at all.
It's pointless to say that to your control stick.
Damn! This is damn irritating!
Hah! Those bastards won't be able to find Bruce's assets.
Huh?
Did you forget something old geezer?
Those bastards have Bruce's eye.
Even though that's true, they won't find it.
Oh? You say that quite confidently, don't you?
You said it before, when you guys were looking at the images from Bruce's eye, right?
"It looks like a completely different planet than what it is now."
Is the difference that big?
It's not just a matter of differences.
The Graceland in the image and the Graceland now...
They're practically like two different planets.
As it is now, the location of the cave Giga Banks is in is totally unknown.
Even though it's shaking so badly, you can still eat...
Don't you feel sick?
Well, I'm used to eating on a plane.
S-Since you are that calm, it should be fine then.
No matter what happens...
Huh?
There's a slight problem... we seem to have veered slightly off from the landing point.
Veered off?! To where?
About that... I don't know either...
Wait a minute! What do you mean by "I don't know"?!
After all, this is the first time I've had to did a manual landing!
June's unit is commencing the search on area B5.
January's unit is proceeding towards area D4.
April's unit has completed the search on area A2.
No signs of Giga Banks were found.
August's unit has completed the search on E1.
No signs of Giga Banks were found.
March's unit has completed the search on area C4.
No signs of Giga Banks were found.
Next is...
Everyone, listen up for a while.
In order to buy time for us to search for the treasure,
we definitely need to find some way to stop the photon bomb from being released.
I know that, Mister.
We should divide into two teams now: Team Jupiter and team Giga Banks.
Indeed. We can stop the photon bomb then go to Giga Banks,
but if Marciano gets ahead of us, we'll end up with nothing.
I know that.
We can't let Franca participate in something dangerous like dealing with a bomb.
Katana needs to pilot the Coyote.
And, the old geezer here is familiar with Giga Banks.
The only one left is me.
Don't worry, just leave it to me.
We just need to stop that photon bomb, right?
Even so, I want someone to go with Bishop to the Jupiter...
Someone?
I want Swamp to go with Bishop.
Wait a minute, Mister.
I don't need this old geezer. He'll just be a hindrance.
I should be the one saying that.
It's sufficient if I go alone, leave it to me.
That's what I'm worried about.
Stop yapping on and on, you Big Head!
There really are some problems with this combination.
Is that so?
I think it will turn out interesting.
Anyway, you have been constantly pissing me off!
I'll copy those words and return them right back at you.
Next time, I'm going to trim off your hair with a shaver.
I'll twist off the "buttons" on your chest then.
Miss Angelica, I've found out our location.
And?
We are at a location latitude 45 degrees south and longitude 160 degrees east.
We are indeed at this part of the Parara Sea.
Which is to say...
We are quite a distance away from Marciano's landing point.
I'm sorry...
Don't worry. It's fine as long as we've arrived before Mister.
Will Mister really come?
He will come.
If that's the case, that guy called Mister sure is optimistic.
Indeed. He won't give up as long as the possibility isn't zero.
He will not give up.
He's someone that is very stubborn.
That's the way of the Coyote, right?
You understand, don't you.
Are you praising him or mocking him?
Then, shall we go?
Okay!
Oh, Miss Angelica, over there...
They are starting to take refuge before the release.
Yes.
Everyone is abandoning this planet.
How is it?
Has the location of the Jupiter been discovered?
Who do you think you're asking, Milady?
True, true.
It's pointless no matter what interference wave they use.
We know how to deal with it.
March's unit is touching down on area C2.
June's unit has completed the search on area B3.
No signs of Giga Banks were found.
January's unit has completed the search on area D5.
No signs of Giga Banks were found.
April's unit has completed the search on area A4.
No signs of Giga Banks were found.
You are being serious here...
Looks like all the covers are about to be opened.
Do you have something to tell me?
Ah well, it doesn't matter.
You like to tease that guy, right?
I know that.
Are you referring to Bishop?
That guy's entertaining since he's an idiot.
He's only entertaining to you.
You don't find him entertaining?
I did not come here to be entertained.
It's entertaining.
This incident with Giga Banks, it's definitely entertaining.
You and your... In the end, the thing I'm most irritated about is that you expect me to do exactly as you have instructed.
Just like what you said.
To stop the photon bomb from being launched.
That isn't easy.
That is why, I can't let him go alone.
I understand.
The thing that we must keep in mind is who's sake we are heading to Graceland for.
I am just here to see whether or not you are fit to be the man who inherits Bruce's assets.
That is why...
Mind if I ask something?
What about?
Before he robbed Giga Banks, what did Bruce say after contacting you?
Nothing.
Mind if I ask something?
What?
He... Did Bruce think that robbing Giga Banks was something entertaining?
Shall I help?
Nope, I'm fine.
Since it's almost done.
Is that so?
Hey, Franca.
Hmm?
Do you really want Bruce's assets?
I wonder.
What will you do if you have ten billion Space Dollars?
What do you mean by "do"?
Once you have them, you can buy whatever you want.
To tell the truth, I don't really care about money.
It's just that,
I want to know more about Papa.
All I know is that everyone called Papa the Pirate King and that he was an amazing person.
But I'm not sure about those things, since we spent very little time together.
However, once we get his treasure, I might learn what kind of person he was.
Those are the Guild's helicopters.
Since they are buzzing around like bees, they probably haven't found the treasure yet.
I wonder what kind of treasure it is.
Who knows.
You're not interested in the contents?
I am.
Why are you keen on knowing everything?
I don't know.
I don't think Mister came here just for the sake of money.
There has to be some reason. I want to know that.
Are you really sure that's due to work?
I wanted to ask you earlier.
Miss Angelica, what was the reason that made you chase after Mister?
It's been four years since you became an investigator specializing in Mister's case, right?
Oh? The bounty went up again?
Stop saying such easy-going things.
There are people out there aiming to get you for the space bounty.
Is this ship fine?
Yes.
I'll take that.
Thanks for your patronage.
This is too much.
Nope, it's an appropriate amount.
I have to take into consideration the information I can learn from you.
I give up.
It's always been like this.
I don't understand, but...
those fellows from the Guild are busy digging up Graceland's surface.
Oh?
Also, it's just a rumor but,
it's been said that some of the top officials of the Federation Government are heading towards Graceland.
Which politician is leading it?
Senator Hillrit.
What is it? I can keep it, right?
Yes, but just a bit more.
How is it? Have any transmission barriers appeared?
Nope, be a bit more patient.
What are you doing?
We are sending a self-returning transmission from our current position out in all directions.
It's a test to measure their reaction.
It's as Mister said.
If the transmissions don't return, something is obstructing them.
That area will be full of strong interference waves. There's no mistake about it.
There's one other thing, but this is just a rumor.
It's said that pigeons are flying around.
Pigeons?
According to the Federation Government's top secret command manual,
they will use interference waves to shut out even transmission originating from their own side.
All orders will be given manually.
Which is to say, the information about the top officials of the Federation Government heading towards Graceland is...
Something that can be trusted...
Right?
That is what I think as well.
That is why, even if Katana and I try to tap into the Federation Government's transmission,
no matter how hard we try, we won't know anything since they aren't transmitting.
Oh, it's unexpected but everyone actually put some thought into it.
Franca!
Now, as agreed, it's time for us to go.
Take this.
Hmm? What is that?
You aren't prepared, right?
Since it's the newest model, it might be too difficult for an old geezer to use.
So, you are the type that is capable of covering for others?
Swamp is good!
This time around, I'll do as you wish.
I understand.
If I went, I'd have to listen to your preaching, right?
Of course.
If you guys fail, we will turn into ghosts. We're leaving it to you!
We're leaving it to you!
Yes, leave it to us!
Now that it's been decided, time to make preparations!
We are running out of time!
Did you call for us, Mother?
You girls will...
It's the combat vessels of the 12 Sisters...
Hey, Mister.
Oh? What is it?
It is indeed difficult for Bishop to deal with the photon bomb alone but...
is it really all right if we don't have Swamp for Giga Banks?
Swamp has already said it,
"The Graceland in the image and the Graceland now, they're practically like two different planets."
Probably, but we'll figure a way out.
Probably?
Ready on my end.
No problem on my end as well.
Together with you...
Do you want to listen to my preaching?
Mister, this is from Swamp.
It's a compass, right?
Yup.
It's better if he had handed it over himself instead of asking me to do it.
What, what? A present from Swamp?
Yup. It's a map. One leading to Giga Banks.
They're heading out.
Our lives are in your hands. We'll leave it to you!
Please!
Due to a change in plans, we are showing this emergency broadcast now.
The Federation Government announced earlier
that they plan to drop the photon bomb in 24 hours.
Repeating.
