I cannot thank you guys enough for your remarkable efforts.

I believe that if it weren't for your help,

Jibral Castle would not be standing here today.

And we have something we would like to ask you to do.

We've contacted the neighboring nations in secrecy.

And together we've had discussions that have led to a secret alliance.

Our combined forces are preparing for an invasion of Grankingdom.

- What?! - What?!

We would very much like you guys to take part in this invasion.

Unfortunately, our technology is a far cry from that of the Grankingdom's.

If you'd fight with us...

With all due respect...

We are travelers.

Although our desire to defeat Nene is the same, we cannot act together.

Why not? We just fought together in the earlier battle.

We are not soldiers.

Right, but...

Then it cannot be helped.

By the way...

We spoke of a reward earlier...

About the viewing of the Book of the Beginning...

About that...

OPERATION MARRIAGE PROPOSAL

A thief broke in?!

Yes.

Somebody broke into the Royal Library while we were engaged in battle.

Was it stolen?

No, actually...

Oh, it's here.

Pages are torn out.

Two guards were knocked out...

And someone tore out the last seven pages and made off with them.

The last seven pages?

Any idea who did this?

No.

But the man who you guys captured during the ghost disturbance broke out of his cell...

And he was found dead outside the castle.

That guy...

Okay, let's go!

What does this mean, maro? He wasn't behind the ghost hoax, maro?

What?! Then there really was a ghost after all?!

Of course not.

But I wonder if it means there was somebody entirely different

behind all that ghost stuff.

Maybe...

Salinas stole a part of the Book of the Beginning,

but somebody took him out to keep quiet?

That's what we are thinking.

And we also think the whole Grankingdom attack

was to distract us from their true objective.

Come to think of it, they sure pulled out of that battle quickly, didn't they?

Then the real culprit is Grankingdom after all?

What does that mean, maro?! I don't get it at all, maro!

It just means the stolen last pages were extremely important, right?!

Good job picking up on that, Kluke.

Why? Why not just look at any copy of the Book of the Beginning in a library?

The Extra Seven...

That's what the stolen last seven pages are called.

The Extra Seven?

As you mentioned, there are many copies of the Book of the Beginning in many libraries.

However...

the final seven pages found in this book

are only included in the original Book of the Beginning here in Jibral.

The original...

So this is the original Book of the Beginning?

It's believed that the final seven pages were added sometime after it was written.

What was written in it?

You read it, didn't you, Conrad?

No. I can't read it as it's written in ancient letters.

However, it's said that the long line of kings knew the content.

And I don't know why,

but it was sealed here so the Extra Seven would not leak to the outside.

However, we forgot about that over the years.

The Book of the Beginning has stuff written in it

about the legendary Shadow Wielders we're looking for, right?

Hey, wait. The Seven Soldiers of Light...

I wonder if it has something to do with the Extra Seven.

The Seven Soldiers of Light were Shadow Wielders?!

Uh, yeah. That's what Zola said.

I see...

If that's true, then the legends about the Soldiers of Light

and the war between light and darkness could be more than just stories.

Either way, we can't read it since it's not here.

Let's stop thinking about it.

So that's why Zola wanted to read it so badly?

What in the world is written in it?

What the heck are you guys thinking?!

It's outrageous to turn down his Majesty's request!

Bye, old man.

Well...uhh... I appreciate all your help.

Is it really okay?

Certainly.

Under normal circumstances, we'd come along.

But Jibral Knights are part of the invasion force.

I wish you good luck in battle.

We'll take back the Extra Seven with our own hands.

Let us meet again at that time.

Stay well, Conrad!

Yeah. I'm looking forward to the next time that we get to fight together, Shu.

Right!

Maro?

Stay well!

You too! Goodbye!

Thanks for everything.

Do you want to become a Knight Master yourself?

Huh? No, I...

Right then, I figured it out.

What I want to become is...

That's right... I...

Man, this is awesome!

No matter how far we travel, there's more ocean!

Of course! It's the ocean.

What is it, boy? Is this your first time on the ocean?

Yeah, it is.

We're from Talta Village.

I see. Then I guess it's only natural you find the ocean so interesting!

The ocean's great. It's so vast.

And it's full of adventures for us to explore!

The kraken in the Gul Ocean, the cursed realm of the Crystal Sea,

the Siren's Cape, the legends of mermaids...

And the Realm of Fatal Collision we'll be passing through...

Realm of...

Fatal Collision?

Right. That's what it's called among us seafarers.

There's a legend that says when the ocean's calm like today,

a fog appears and envelops the boat all of a sudden,

cutting visibility to nothing.

And once it's enshrouded in the fog, the boat's engine stalls,

it's swept off by ocean currents, and it disappears.

Then several days later, the ship is discovered.

But the crew...is all dead.

The rumors say that it was a ghost or it was a virus that wiped them out.

But in actuality,

it seems that the crew members fell under a curse and fought each other.

Just kidding.

Huh?

Well, it is true that there's a lot of fog in these waters.

And there are many shallow areas around here.

So seafarers have to be really careful or they could run aground or sink.

The rumor probably started as a cautionary tale.

Then it's a lie?

I don't know about that.

What, they're teasing us?!

Th-That's right.

There's no such thing as ghosts or curses.

I don't know about that.

Cut it out!

Hey, that hurts!

I'm telling you to cut it out!

What did I do?

Don't act like you're all innocent.

Hey!

We've got trouble, maro!

I'm the one in trouble.

Is something wrong?

There was a pair of underwear behind that barrel, maro!

Huh?

Why underwear?

Hey, give those back!

Oh, my underwear!

It's not yours!

Give me just one minute.

Ta da!

You are...

- Bouquet! - Bouquet!

Long time no see.

Hey, what're you doing here?!

I told you I wouldn't let you get away.

And I told you we wouldn't take you with us.

Don't be embarrassed. Just be honest.

I'm being honest.

That's alright. I already know.

Hey, are you listening at all?

That's enough talk for now. It's been so long since I last saw you!

Oh... Uh...

Hey, you!

Give it a rest! It's clear he hates that!

Why?

Why? Isn't it obvious?!

Obvious?

No matter how you look at it, he doesn't seem to hate that, maro.

Rather, he looks happy—

Anyway, get away from him! That's rude!

Oh, I get it.

W-What?

You're jealous, right?

Huh?

You don't like it when Shu and I get along, right?

No way! What do I care what Shu does?

Then there's no problem, right?

Shu!

Yes, ma'am!

If you don't like it, come right out and say so!

Right, maro! Let me touch those boobs, too!

Uh...

You don't like it, right?

Uh, umm...

Hey, hey!

I don't understand! What are you to Shu anyway?!

Huh?

Just what's your relationship with Shu?

Well...

Are you guys dating?

Wow...

No way!

Then leave us alone.

You don't have the right to stop us from getting along.

What?!

Say, you two...

- You shut up! - You shut up!

What're you guys doing there?

You...

So you stowed away on this ship, huh?

We're not going off to play! We should let her off this ship immediately.

Aren't you being a bit too cold? We're right in the middle of the ocean!

Where do we even let her off?

We are going to be facing some dangerous situations.

It's inadvisable to take along someone who can't fight!

She's a Shadow Wielder as well!

I don't want to cart along yet another fifth wheel.

This is just going to cause more trouble, and I don't want any part of it!

Who do you mean by fifth wheel?!

Do I need to state the obvious?

You!

Stop it!

Don't fight over me!

No matter how adorable I may be or how nice a body I may have,

you two shouldn't be fighting each other!

What's the plan, maro? Zola?

It's what I said before. This is up to Shu.

Me?!

So... What're you going to do?

Of course you'll let me join you guys, right?

Huh? Um...

Some "spice" is indispensable for a journey.

Huh? Huh?

What're you going to do?!

Well...uhh...

Maro?

What is it, Marumaro?

Look at that, maro!

It's fog.

I can't see anything ahead, maro.

What's the deal all of a sudden?

No way... Could it be that legend?!

It couldn't be...

It's the Realm of Fatal Collision!

Guys! Be careful!

Be careful?! This is just...

Huh?!

Are you okay?!

This isn't just fog.

Don't breathe in the fog! We'll be screwed, too.

Got it!

But then...

Hey, old man! Old man!

Is he drunk?

Guys!

This is...

Zola.

It seems there's something in this fog that stimulates the central nervous system.

With this, it's like you're drinking alcohol.

Zola!

M-Marumaro?!

What's wrong, Marumaro?!

Marumaro!

Ma...

I'm a friend of justice, maro.

We...We're justice... What's justice?

The fog has gotten to him.

Go, maro! Bam Bam Beam!

Bam Bam Beam!

Cut it out, Marumaro!

Nice, Saber Tiger! One more time, maro!

You drunk!

Hey, Jiro!

At this...rate...

Jiro!

I'm not gloomy!

Oh yes you are!

Well, I'm actually a happy guy.

Hey, Jiro!

What? The fog's gotten him too?!

Go, maro! Bam Bam Beam, part two!

Bam Bam Beam, part two!

- Yes, maro! - Yay!

What're you doing, you jerk?!

Let's go, Minotaur.

Let's play together, maro!

Here ya go!

Mino-chan Punch!

Cut it out, you two!

They're going to sink the whole ship if I don't do something about it!

We're the only normal ones left, huh?

In other words, we can hold our alcohol?

But this won't hold up forever.

What's that vortex?!

This is bad! At this rate, we'll get pulled right into that vortex!

Kluke!

Help me, Shu!

Damn it!

Blue Dragon! We're going to blow away that vortex!

I feel...kinda...weird.

Is this...a watermelon?

Shu!

Yeah?!

Hang in there, Shu!

No, I'm all there, so it's okay.

Jeez! Pull yourself together!

Oh, right. I've pulled myself together!

Hurry!

You just wait, Kluke!

Blue Dragon! Shoot through that vortex!

What're you aiming at?!

That's my business.

Even Blue Dragon is out of it. Damn!

Shu!

My vision's getting cloudy again.

I've got to hurry.

Shu!

Let's go one more time, Blue Dragon!

Shut up, Shu.

Blue Dragon?!

Let's just kick back and relax!

This isn't working.

Fine! Guess it's come to this.

I'm Hippopotamus, hippo.

Help me quick!

I kinda wish I didn't come out.

This is the moment of truth!

Huh?

We're going to prove that we're useful.

Oh, right. I'll do my best!

Hipopon, Hipotama, Transform!

Hippo! Transform.

There!

A fan?

First I'll blow away the fog.

I get it! Blue Dragon!

It's up to you, Shu!

I know!

I can't hang on any longer!

Alright. We can do this, Shu!

Alright! My head's starting to clear up too!

That's the creature behind this! Let's go, Blue Dragon!

What?

What's that?

You're an eyesore!

Jeez...

What? What was I doing?

Maro.

Why's the mast busted?

Who knows?

I thought I was going to die.

What the heck was I doing, maro?

I don't remember at all.

At the end of the day, Bouquet saved us, huh?

I guess she wasn't a fifth wheel after all, maro.

I acknowledge that.

What happened to those two, maro?

Huh?

I don't feel good. I still feel a little woozy.

So, Shu?

Now you know that I can be of use, right?

Yeah, yeah... We all would've been lost without you.

So it's okay if I came along?

Yeah, sure... I doubt anybody's going to complain now.

Then, marry me.

Yeah sure. Hey, what was that?!

I'm so glad!

Jeez! Cut it out!

We're engaged! Lucky, Wiki, Monkikki!

Cut it out! Cut it out!

Hey, what're you doing?!

Huh? Kluke, this isn't...

This isn't what?!

Oh! The fog again! I'm going to sleep.

Don't lie!

Shu's party has infiltrated the Grankingdom,

but they are separated from each other by Logi.

Are you okay, Marumaro?

Jiro's fighting a girl but my opponent is an old man wearing glasses!

There's no motivation, maro.

My opponent is an old man with his hair slicked back

and he has an angry look in his eyes.

Wait, that's Logi!

Next time on Blue Dragon: "Logi Strikes."
