At Bloodbone City, several ships returned damaged and had the pirates worried. The custom official checked the ships and found out one was missing. The missing ship was stranded, unable to move and now surrounded by other ships. One ship is being controlled by Ali.

Neo Alliance arrives to Bloodbone City in the World of Pirates, Cross tells the team to spread out. A pirate asks what's going on. Cross replied that they got a leak of information that the Legion plans to attack Bloodbone City and search for something. Another pirate replies that they have to gunfight if they want to search something. The first pirate stops him and tells him that rule is overrated. The first one says that today they're hosting the Pirate Gauntlet, an event only happens once a year. It's all about battle. The last ship standing wins. And the survivors get a Trophy of Poseidon.

Everyone meets up with Barborass Teague, the Pirate Lord and ruler of the World of Pirates. They tell about the leak about the incoming attack. Barborass seems terrified that he changed the prize into the Trident of Poseidon and not the trophy. A pirate soon comes to the castle and tells him about an attack. Cross sees this and finds several DarkArmora ships including their biggest ship, Hellbringer. The ones leading the attack are Lotus, Ali, Xenos and Thorn. Ryoma has Biozord, Ryugen, Sora and Haven to guard the castle while rest attack the enemy ships. When they arrived at the port. They also see many pirate ships attack the Legion. They also see a pirate single-handling take out several DarkArmoras by herself. She introduces herself as Winneria Minato. Ryoma was impressed with her skills. They got interrupted by cannon fire. Thorn rushes head on but gets kicked by Ryoma and gets blasted by him, getting knocked out into a ship.

Xenos orders FB-7777 to shoot down all ships, the DarkArmora refused at first, but Xenos forces him to do it. The DarkArmora orders everyone in the ship to shoot down all the ships including their own ships. They all fired relentlessly at all the ships. At one ship, Ali was fighting some pirates when he got caught in the crossfire. Ali tries to call from the HellBringer but unsuccessful. Lotus tells FB-7777 to cease fire. She then grabs Xenos and DA-1122 with vines using her Treebranch. She then orders all DarkArmoras to remove all authority of Xenos and his battalion and all should listen to her. The DarkArmoras agreed and continued their current duties. Xenos grunted angrily.

Back at the Pirate Castle, many of the DarkArmoras have been defeated by their numbers are still increasing. Biozord, Ryugen, Sora and Haven barely hold the DarkArmoras from entering the castle. Demonar is using his lavakinesis to sink the DarkArmora ships and Ryoma is single-handling dealing with DarkArmoras at the port.

Lotus then orders a retreat, after getting heavy losses. However, she was interrupted by Cross and the others ramming a ship through Hellbringer. Eyes ends up on Hellbringer. But the ship starts to crack, Lotus prepares to fight Eyes, but Ali barges and attacks Eyes. Ali pleads her to retreat and he will hold Eyes off. Lotus then retreats. Ali and Eyes fight until Ali shoots a DarkArmora in the head. Eyes get confused but stops after Ali whispered something in Eyes' ear. Ali then runs but Eyes just stood still. All remaining DarkArmora ships retreated. All the pirates and Neo Alliance celebrates.

Barborass thanks Neo Alliance for their help. Neo Alliance prepares to leave. Ryugen saw Eyes' expression. He asked but Eyes brushes it off. Eyes kept quiet after that whisper from Ali.
