Balancing the demands of the space yacht club with her role as a diligent restaurant waitress, her ordinary existence takes an extraordinary turn following an encounter with an eccentric duo of patrons. It is in this fateful meeting that Marika comes face to face with the inevitable truth of her father's passing. You see, her father was none other than the legendary pirate, renowned as "Gonzaemon." In his wake, he leaves behind a legacy, embodied by his infamous vessel, the Bentenmaru, and a crew that are now entrusted exclusively to Marika.
