## Detailed plot

Seven and Dai Bo are forced to sell coconuts on the beach in order to make ends meet to make up for Seven's perpetual assassination failures. Soon, Dai Bo gets a call for a new job and it's by Uncle Chen who wants Seven to infiltrate the largest of the incoming three submarines and assassinate its captain. Payment for the job is a 5-nut mooncakes tin filled with ¥88, to which, Seven accepts. Without any sufficient diving equipment to properly infiltrate the submarine, Seven decides to infiltrate the ship using his Gaiba Egg and transform into a "drowning fish". He does so and has Uncle Chen toss him into the water, where his drowning fish act catches the attention of Ah Jie who catches Seven and brings him onto the ship. Ah Jie takes Seven to his crewmate Ah Jun and suggests they steam it. On the other hand, Ah Jun prefers they braise it and takes Seven from Ah Jun's hands and tosses him on the ground. This starts an argument between the two on what they'll do with Seven, all while either stepping or slamming him onto the ground.

The captain of the sub, Captain Jack enters the scene and proclaims they'll make sashimi. However, when Captain Jack tries to slice Seven he deftly dodges his sword swings. Captain Jack then picks up Seven and while holding him close to his face he notes how angry he is that Seven ruined his swank entrance. Seven spits out a toothpick at Captain Jack's face, leading him to believe that he successfully assassinated his target. Surprisingly, Captain Jack is shown to have caught the toothpick in his mouth and attacks Seven causing him to un-transform. Seven then tries to assassinate Captain Jack again only to fail due to his superior strength. With his hair down, Seven contacts Dai Bo for backup support, however, he can't swim therefore cannot help. Immediately, Captain Jack recognizes Seven from his past as the man who nearly killed him and gave him the scar on his chest. Captain Jack then punches Seven in the face and is still astounded that he and the assassin in the past could be the same person. Regaining his composure and tying his hair back up again, Sevens demands to know why Captain Jack is invading the island since Uncle Chen's pride is on the line. Also, Seven notes that he's unable to oil the backs of the beautiful ladies on the beach and tries to punch a hole in the submarine window. This fails, however, and an amused Captain Jack proposes a game that if Seven manages to move him from the spot he's standing at, he'll leave the island. Seven does so by making a hideous face.

Adhering to his promise, Captain Jack agrees to leave the island alone, but confesses that he never intended to invade it, he and his crew were merely passing by. Back on the island, Uncle Chen is elated that the invaders are leaving and Seven uses the money given to him to buy back the pants Uncle Chen sold to pay for his services.
