Story Synopsis
Lupin and his crew set their sights on an uncharted island in the Bermuda Triangle, hunting both the mastermind who has been sending assassins after them and a legendary treasure. Their plane is shot down and they crash-land on the island, which is littered with decaying weapons and nuclear missiles, and populated by people known as “garbage humans.” A toxic fog blankets the island, lethal within 24 hours. The island’s ruler, Muomu, claims immortality and seeks to dominate humanity through selection and elimination. With neither bullets nor blades able to harm him, can Lupin steal the treasure and escape within 24 hours?
