Story

Half a year after fighting alongside Kiryu in the Millenium Tower, Goro Majima, amidst the debris of a shipwreck, washes up on an island beach. A young islander, Noah, saves his life, but Majima awakens with no memories—not even able to remember his own name. The only hints about his past are the tattoo on his back and the dagger by his side.

Suddenly, pirate-like ruffians who seem to have come from the Age of Discovery appear. After swiftly dealing with them and hijacking their ship, Majima decides to embark on a high-seas adventure to regain his memories and repay Noah by fulfilling his dream of seeing the world.

However, rumors of a legendary treasure have stirred up the waters around the outlaw paradise known as Madlantis. Captain Majima and his crew are about to take the plunge into the powder-keg world of seafaring scoundrels.

Locations and Factions

A vast ocean and beautiful islands; despite their brilliance, it is a world on the brink of conflict, where various factions vie for legendary treasures with different intentions.

Rich Island

The remote island that Majima washes ashore on after losing his memories. A boy named Noah Rich resides there with his family. Originally a nameless island, Noah's grandfather took the liberty of naming it after himself. Rich Island is mostly inhabited by fishermen, but its shipping industry is poor and boats from Honolulu only stop by once every few months.

Additionally, there's only one bar on the island—the one managed by Noah's father, Jason. The pirates stationed on the island often stop here for a bit of R&R.

The Rich Family

A family who is from Rich Island. Jason, the father, runs the sole bar on the island, and Moana, Noah's older sister, helps out. Three of the family's members (and one cat) live on the island. The family's oldest child, Naomi, and her mother lives in Honolulu.

Nele Island
Palekana and Ex-yakuza

A holy site of Palekana, a long-standing religious group based in Hawaii. It is home to a particularly devout group of believers known as the Haku. The island is notably larger than Rich Island and has a proper harbor. Before Hawaii was annexed by the US, Palekana established settlements all over the island. Now, ex-yakuza volunteers have taken up lodgings in prefab huts near the Palekana training grounds.

Madlantis

A secret island where multiple criminal organizations coexist. In a cave on the island hides a sprawling pleasure district built around a fleet of massive tankers.
It is home to the Pirates' Coliseum, where pirates constantly engage in pirate Battle. Some have achieved fame and fortune through the coliseum and others have had their lives destroyed by it.

Anyone who shows promise is scouted and invited to Queen Michele's audience chamber.

The Pirate Lords

The top figures who control Madlantis. Queen Michele rules the criminal underworld as its charismatic leader and founder of the Pirates' Coliseum.
Mortimer is the reigning champion of the Pirates' Coliseum and commands a grand pirate fleet as its admiral.

Raymond Law oversees all business on Madlantis and continues to generate a massive fortune.
