Summary
Ayanami, leading their fleet of seven ships attacks Antwort. Hyuuga throws Shuri Oak overboard, but he is saved by Konatsu Warren. Ayanami's fleet lands in front of Antwort's Royal Palace and the fort defending the palace is single-handedly destroyed by Hyuuga. Hyuuga encounters two combat slaves, Yukinami and Suzunami. Ayanami advances to the room where Pandora's Box was kept, and encounters King Antwort. Ayanami quickly deals him his death and opens Pandora's Box, only to discover it is empty. Within five hours after Ayanami's ships landed, the Barsburg Empire was able to seize control of Antwort.

Meanwhile, Hyuuga brings to Ayanami the combat slaves he had encountered as souvenirs, but Ayanami sets them free. Ayanami tells the slaves that they can join the Black Hawks, and they agree. Elsewhere, Frau, Teito Klein and their new companion, Capella, head to District 7's Northern-most city, the Port of Ria, whose bridge they need to cross to get to District 6.
