Three years of memories were surgically removed when Johnson chose to disappear — the only available escape from the Pirate Guild. Lady Armaroid emerges from hiding inside his robot maid Ben, and the dream at the Trip Movie Corporation triggers enough of the buried past to restart what was suspended. The Guild finds him immediately. After fighting his way out, with Cobra's identity fully restored, the next chapter begins in a bar: Jane Royal, one of three sisters, approaches with a proposal. Her sisters' tattoos form a combined map pointing to the greatest treasure in the universe. Lady Armaroid and Cobra take the job.
