Dr. STONE (Dr.STONE)

Most fascinating.

I'm rather curious how you made it this far.

I didn't hear a single gunshot from my guards.

You found a way in without engaging in combat.

The sky's ?... doubtful.

So it was a tunnel!

What a delightfully elegant solution!

We have surfaced in a ranching area.

That's bad.

How could this have happened?

A miscalculation.

We did account for some error.

I'm sorry, pardon me !

You're not hurt, are you?

Suika?

Isn't that...

It is.

They're dining on yellow-dent corn.

You know what that means, don't you?

We just need to capture Dr. Xeno and his cornfields.

Then we'll have tons of food and revival fluid.

Enough to let us revive everyone in the entire world.

What in the ?... a watermelon?

What's wrong?

Owie!

Out of nowhere, my poor Tummy started doing somersaults.

I don't suppose I could trouble you fine gents for some nice stomach medicine, could I?

Stop it ! don't just barf here, moron!

Is this normal or no?

Badass!

So this is what real 21st century science can do!

You must be...

Uh-oh!

Guess they know you're here!

Then let's go, now!

Hurry!

They're coming!

Hurry ay!

Those angry guards are right behind us!

Ah, there's no need to worry.

When this thing goes boom, it's over.

The explosion's gonna shoot Xeno's ride straight down the tunnel, while also closing the entrance at his base.

It's two birds with one stone!

I never doubted you for a second, Chrome!

So, who's gonna stay here and make sure it really goes off?

It's not like we can expect Dr. Xeno to do it himself.

It's gonna blow!

I hear ya!

Gotta hurry!

Up you go!

What the hell just happened?

Why's it dark?

Seems your tunnel has caved in.

On both sides.

Let's search the surface and locate the tunnel's other exit.

Then neutralize those brats, huh?

Cool your jets, greenhorn.

Stop trying to pick a fight and start thinking ahead.

If we waste time on revenge, everybody underground gonna run out of air and die!

And there ain't nobody on this planet who deserves a death sentence!

That's why both sides are gonna dig our hearts out!

It's a race.

A digging war, if you will.

The first group to break through wins!

Chrome, are you perhaps a descendant of humanity's survivors?

No matter what comes of this, I must say I'm quite impressed.

To have built a tunnel and plotted a monorail escape.

Well done.

Elegant.

Yes, that's the only word for it.

Oh, Chrome.

Think rationally.

Use that intellect of yours.

Which direction should you dig?

Which path is calling to you?

The ship with all your comrades has already been captured.

Stan has utterly overwhelmed them.

The battle is over, and I don't wish to take any more lives.

The only logical choice you have is to join the ranks of this new world in which I am the ruler.

There's no way in hell I'd ever follow you.

I will guide the ignorant masses!

Even thousands of years ago...

It was the rabid imbeciles devoted to their sacred cows of politics and ethics that held back human progress at every turn.

You've no doubt seen them yourself.

Those who live only by their fists and fail to comprehend the true value of science.

Well, yeah, I've met a few.

Tell me, does the blood of science course through your veins?

You do believe in it completely, don't you?

Duh!

I mean, you're talking to Chrome, the science user.

I live for the stuff, man!

I could make you one of the elite!

We can dominate the fools of this world, because science equals power!

I believe you.

And to be honest, I'll probably never understand meatheads like Magma.

The ones who spend all their time chasing muscles and might.

But so what?

It doesn't matter if I understand them, or think they're foolish.

Who am I to judge whatever kind of shit someone else may like?

Our mission was a success, Senku!

We captured the enemy king, Dr. Xeno!

Poor Senku... and everyone else on the planes...

You're actually insane, Stanley!

You guys neutralized the enemy base in less than a minute?!

Hey, nice to see you, Max.

Miss Luna, thank goodness you're alright!

But what in the hell is going on up here?!

Shh, whisper!

Oh, and also, I finally have a boyfriend!

The guy from the plane crash, yeah?

Okay, then.

Tell me who you want on the rescue team.

I want François who can help with first aid.

And maybe...

Pardon me.

Rescue might require hull disassembly.

I would suggest Kaseki.

Don't waste your whistle on me, boy!

I can break through the rope myself!

Now hurry and tell me something about this Xeno fellow's advanced crafting!

Imagine an engine spinning blades that automatically till the soil.

It's called a tractor.

Those poor souls fell in the river!

We're gonna go fish them out now!

We're in hiding.

By a riverbed that's west-northwest of the enemy base.

Now that we've captured Xeno, our enemy has no one left who understands Japanese.

So speaking our native tongue is its own cipher.

Come on.

There's actually no need to tie the guy down like that.

He's not gonna make a single move until his old pal Stanley and the others come to his rescue.

He's not some illogical idiot who would cut before measuring, you know?

And I know that, because one thing's for sure.

Dr. X is a world-class man of science.

Well, I see you survived, Dr. Senku.

It's implausible that Stan would miss his mark.

So somehow, you utilized the power of science to stop the bullet, though I haven't yet figured out how.

Senku, truly, science is exquisitely elegant.

I was only in the third grade when I emailed NASA, ages ago.

But that's enough strolling down memory lane.

We'll have shit-tons of time to talk later.

We've gotta keep moving forward while there's still light.

Moving forward?

Forward to where, exactly?

There's nowhere left to run.

Your ship has been captured, as have all of your friends.

The battle is over.

Ha ha!

You're not wrong!

We can't go back now, which means all we can do is move forward!

Uh, are you sure that makes sense?

We finally found you!

Thanks to you calling with your location, it was easy!

You came back to me, Senku!
