## Synopsis

The Chain Devil rests upon his throne, not impressed with the paper in front of him. He tells a mysterious figure to deal with the man that’s been stealing souls from him. A much older Mikey looks into a mirror as he hears a knock on his door. It has been four summits since the battle for Toke. Thomas comes in and informs him of a meeting the captain called. He calls for Hawk, his hawk and they head out. They sit with Tecnic at the bar and get their drinks from Madame Temer. The captain informs Mikey that they are inviting him to a town meeting today. He agrees. He and Thomas then go to the Armadillo to read off the news. Someone keeps eating the onions. It’s not onion kid. But that’s when Dex interrupts with his work on the sails. He sucks. He also eats onions. Sahge awakens in his cabin on his Island, Iland. He exits and enjoys the splendors of his peach tree. He looks over to Mwana, who is aggressively fishing. It is constantly raining because Mwana checked out of the relationship two summits ago. They have a brief argument before a ship arrives. Mwana Thunder leaps aboard and meets the aventi captain. She introduces herself as Riri, she is Sahge’s older sister. She says hello to her brother and hands him a letter that is inviting him and his siblings to the reading of his father’s last will which was recently discovered. It will reveal the location of Mad Monty’s treasure. The two decide to seek out their other siblings and all go together.

Dex trades instruments with Grimm is a very awkward moment. Mikey attends the town meeting with Tecnic, Temer, Ardyn, Charlee, Father Ted, and Mint. Kifo has gone insane. He has four hundred voices in his head telling him to do different things. It doesn’t help that outside his head, Kurudi is also telling him what he should be doing. He can’t even walk in a straight line he’s so far gone. At the meeting, their top agenda is Ardyn’s retirement and Mikey potentially replacing him. They put it to a vote and it’s down to Mint who basically calls Mikey out saying if he can out build Ardyn within the next week he’ll have his vote. They have to build three ships and two houses. Kifo arrives at his mortal enemy, the last tree, and begins swinging at it with his scythe for hours causing no damage. A shadow looms behind him and the person places their hand on his shoulder, he flexes it off and continues to work, unaffected.

Sonney is being chased by some Hadozee. He manages to arrive at a waterfall and jumps. Once he hits the bottom, they catch up to him and it’s revealed to be his two friends that he was racing. Ibho and Wela. Ibho mentions Sonney is getting very fast and they might be ready for their job. Sonney disagrees. The boys go to find “Medicine” while Sonney goes to one of his many safehouses, a spring on the coast. While he’s there his best friend, a very young child named Kancane that he somewhat watches over arrives. He is very protective of her, but also annoyed by her. While they are playing the boys arrive with their dealer, Mr. Doda. Sonney is not pleased. The guy attempts to sell his drug “Zida” to Kancane which pisses him off more. He summons a lion to intimidate Doda and it eats the fruit, getting very high. Sonney then takes off. Mikey is hard at work losing the challenge so Dex convinces a handful of people to build a ship for Mikey, just to take the edge off. It is in vein however because Ardyn is just too good. They vote again and decide not to take Mikey on. But they do bring Dex in as an “every man” representative for convincing so many people to help out.

Sahge and Mwana depart with Riri and the siblings plan to stop at Benki first to find their brother Wazimu WITHOUT informing Mwana. Also, Sonney pisses on Mr. Doda from the trees above. Just to see his reaction. Cadenes is livid that Kifo hasn’t been taken care of yet and the figure tries to explain to him that he’s too focused on that tree so the chain devil tells him to go help deal with it. He obliges and it is revealed to be a Seafallen Balthazar Koegel.
