| Summary | Azukishima Montayu, a pirate legend, is publicly executed—his head struck clean from his body. Yet, in a bizarre twist, he rises, reattached, and escapes with a stolen geography book. Fueled by a will stronger than life itself, Montayu leads his fleet on a perilous two-year voyage to the remote Chiburon Island, where the book hints at unimaginable riches. But this "treasure island" is no paradise; it's guarded by savage tribes, ancient riddles, and a deadly, multi-layered underground labyrinth. As rival explorers converge, Montayu must confront treacherous trials and cunning enemies. Can a man who cheated death truly conquer fate itself in his quest for an elusive fortune? |
