## Synopsis

Kifo and Burrows are dealing with the immediate aftermath of hydra battle. They have no more men and are severely injured. Kifo asks Burrows to name a member of his crew. He names the master gunner, Ron so Kifo sends him a message with his voodoo to bring all the men and weapons. They rest and wait for backup. The Armadillo is low on resources. They have been at sea for too long. Tecnic calls it and lets them know they will be stopping at the next port for supplies. Dex is sitting in, not paying attention again. Thomas steps up to him after the meeting and asks if he would like to lead the land party. They have a brief moment of will they/won’t they before Dex finally agrees. Mikey is once again on his baby, the A Mural’s Bone with two mercenaries and an unconscious aquatic elf. Harley demands to know what he is hiding from them and why They are on this garbage heap heading to nowhere. Mikey refuses to tell them anything so they mutiny and attempt to capture him but he has become pretty good with a sword and slays the men. He quickly realizes in doing so has stranded him in open water. The Kygrjoda crew arrives outside of Rewera keep where Liza and her men are waiting. Ron tells her that the voice of a ghost brought them here and they have to go in to save the captain but she tells them to wait while she attempts to persuade them into mutiny. It does not go over well.

Sonney meets with Jikelele to discuss the plan he and Okwen came up with. The General is not prepared to meet with the twins and prepares to fight them but Sonney begins to explain the situation. They plan to kill the Ape King and they want him to replace Okubi as Chieftain. He is quizzical about it but he understands why Sonney feels that way. He agrees to help them. Mikey places the young elf down on the deck as he disposes of the bodies. Mikey then begins to fiddle with the locket. Kifo, using his many minds, comes up with a plan. He tells Burrows to clench as he opens a dimension door and send them hundreds of feet above them to an empty room with a single desk in the center. There is a note on the desk. They both get a chill down their spines as Burrows steps up and reads the letter. It simply says “*Congratulations, you’ve made it this far. Hope you rested.*” as Kifo is frozen solid in ice. Burrows then hears the voice of something wicked. He responds with his cavalier attitude and is thusly put asleep. Kifo forces his way through the ice and attempts to reason with the highest ranked pirate in the swell. Meanwhile, Liza is already realizing she’s going to die. However, a low buzzing is heard and hundreds of men begin to fall to the ground, unconscious. Only she and a handful of men are still standing. She uses this to her advantage to convince them she did this and to follow her back to the ship. They comply.

Dex and his land party are sent to Diqiu port while the Armadillo stays in open water. He heads into the square to find the bounty board with many familiar faces. He is unfazed but laughs at Dawkins’ bounty. He asks the men if they remember where they dropped Mikey off. They all assume he is still on Bhumi. He collects the posters of the people that matter and they go finish their mission. They return to the Ship and Dex shows the bounties to Gregory and Thomas. They ask what he wants to do and Dex tells them he wants to fight a shark. So, he does. It’s awesome. Burrows awakens outside of the keep, surrounded by hundreds of his unconscious men. He feels something in his jacket pocket and pulls out the Saint’s coin. He is perplexed but relieved. He also realizes Kifo is not present. He decides to take the win and begins to wake up his men. He subtly implies he killed Ibis and prepares to head back to his ship as he places a jet-black gem on his right pinkie. Mikey is flipping his lucky coin, laying on the deck next to the elf when he hears a tiny “hello” He jumps and drops his coin into the ocean. He screams “IT’S AWAKE” and moves away. Chiens is very friendly but scared. Mikey catches her up and they quickly become friends. It’s adorable. Mikey finds out the Chiens was raised by Sirene and he is not prepared to tell her the bad news so he avoids it for now but asks if Aquamigo can help them move the ship to land since they are currently stranded. It can and does but Mikey is not exactly happy with the outcome as it appears to be leading them directly towards Abasho’Kobezi.

Sonney and his posse begin their plan. Jikelele and the Twins’ men will cause a distraction by actually fighting while the leaders all take out the King’s guard so Sonney can handle the king. Mikey is not excited about the path they are going until he spots another ship heading towards the island. He spots a familiar face helming it, Sahge. He perks up but is worried his friend is heading to the savage lands. He tells Aquamigo to pick up the pace so they can meet up and work together. Burrows and his men arrive back at the port to see Liza and the Kygrjoda hitting open water, leaving them. He is not impressed. Kifo exits the keep to hear a familiar sound. It makes him smile as he rushes towards it on his ethereal horse. Burrows men begin to once again drop around him, this time actively dying as a bell is heard on the water. Standing next to him is none other than Balthazar who raises his hands as the dead men begin to reanimate, eyes glowing bright blue. Burrows looks down at the coin in his hand and smiles.
