Five days later.
Somewhere on the high seas off the Atlantic Ocean, a huge black cruise ship that had already gone thousands of kilometers off course slowly wandered around in the endless ocean.
The faint silhouette of an island slowly came into view in front of the cruise ship. It was the destination of the cruise ship — Gantz Island.
However, when there was still approximately thirty kilometers between the cruise ship and its destination, a metallic black helicopter slowly took off from its platform on the cruise ship. While it flew ahead to Gantz Island, it hoisted with a long metal strip shaped like a spire that was strapped to its bottom.
Compared to the cruise, this helicopter might as well be a tiny little ant. However, its impressive size was immediately realized when compared to the spire-shaped metal structure it was carrying.
