Dr. Stone: New World Part 2

We're going to the moon!

I was at the point where I didn't think

any of our cockamamie projects could shock me,

but a full-blown moon landing in the stone world?

Huh?! How can we get to the moon

when we're all the way down here, Senku?

The same way that the kingdom of science

always does things.

Taking it one step at a time.

It's totally different, though.

'Cept for the part about how crazy it sounds.

But this is crazy on steroids.

Ha. Now that we know our enemy's base

is somewhere on the moon,

do we just try to ignore them and await our fate?

No. That's never been our style.

So in this new world,

we even desire the very stars in the sky!

Too cool! Science is so unbelievably bad!

Yeah, well!

Building rockets is Senku's specialty, so it's meant to be!

What sort of things are we gathering this time, buddy?

We're collecting materials from all over the world.

The New World Moon Landing Project begins now!

So get excited!

There!

My word!

The offending stone imprisonment is melting away.

How very mysterious.

I know! Pretty cool, huh?

Wait. What happened?

You have zero reason to be smug about this.

Don't worry, you're safe now!

The entire island's safe, in fact!

I feel completely awestruck.

This "science sorcery" is wondrous.

If only we'd had this knowledge

when those horrid devices first rained down

and ruined our lives.

So, um, are there any other devices laying around?

Since there was a whole storm of them and all.

No, my lord had me destroy the lot of them.

Save for the device the bandits took, that is.

Then our Medusa is the only gorgon left.

And long as we have a statue, we can cure its effects.

So let's wake everyone up

and get the hell off this island, guys!

Yeah!

Let's go!

Not everyone.

Father. I'm sorry I couldn't save you in time.

And now we're leaving.

We're reviving the warrior guys, too? Isn't that risky?

They won't be so hostile now.

Ibara was the evil one, whereas they were just tricked

into serving a false master.

Seems you've forgotten Ryusui wants all he sees,

including former foes.

After 20 long years,

it's good to see you well, Prince Soyuz.

Pardon. My master.

I'm sad about Soyuz's dad.

It's gotta be hard to see him sitting right there,

but still not be able to talk to him at all.

Okay.

We've got one more crucial mission to carry out

before we set sail.

There's another mission? I thought we were done.

A good kingdom needs allies,

so ours will forge an alliance with the people of this island.

Wait, what do you mean by that?

Well, getting ourselves to the moon

is going to be a ridiculously difficult endeavor, right?

It would be a little less ridiculous

if we had some stuff built here on treasure island.

Let's try to convince the locals to see our side of things.

And once they're all on board, we can put 'em straight to work.

Like, a lot of work?

Yep, I know that face.

He makes it when he has a plan, and devious intentions.

I'm just being realistic here, and facts are facts.

The manpower we'll need for this project is insane.

Be nice if it pans out the way you want,

'cause I can tell you right now, being a ruler isn't easy.

Considering the islanders were only just freed from Ibara,

I doubt they'd be open to us bossin' them around.

And even if they are,

they won't all be as driven as Kinro here.

Tch.

Brilliantly put, which is why the plan

is to let them independently decide

if they want to ally with our kingdom.

Them having the right to choose is key in making this happen.

Right, Gen? It's essential.

Uh.

Keep thinking like that

and you'll be on the right track to becoming a mentalist, too.

I-I want to handle this.

Hm?

My father may be gone,

but I can keep his legacy alive by unifying all of our people!

Fair enough.

It's in your capable hands, Soyuz.

Um, thanks. What is this?

Oh-ho!

What're you "oh-hoing" about?!

I wanna see what we're making this time, too! Ha!

Hey!

We have to quickly build a structure of great size,

and we could really use some help!

Please lend us a hand.

It would benefit the whole island!

Wow! Look at that giant thing go!

Uh. Is Senku even here to see?

Ah-ha.

What're you doin' in the lab

when the rest of us are celebrating, man?

Working on a project to get the ol' ticker really pumping.

The hell?!

Uh, what's this stuff?

Ah.

It's called zeolite, a highly potent drying agent.

Oh, it dries you out. That explains it.

Gunpowder, salt, and iron, too?

Is all of this for a project?

Yeah.

I'm doing flame test reactions, or Chrome's badass sorcery.

All right. Ready for some badass sorcery?

Check out my Rainbow Bridge!

Hmm. Okay, but...

I still don't get what you're aiming to do.

Let's just say it's for persuading any islanders

who aren't convinced yet.

Whoa!

I mean, I've done the same thing a ton of times before...

So that's his plan.

In which case, guess I could hype it up.

It won't really be hard. Uh!

Very well.

I shall begin preparations for our guests right away.

Ah! But I didn't say what I had in mind!

They anticipate things like a legit fortune teller.

Huh. Should we be excited for something?

Woo-hoo! No time like the present! Let's go!

Nice. It's working. Go on and start talking.

Um, hello? Testing.

We're, um, reporting from the water.

Yeah! Go team!

We can hear you loud and clear on the island!

Is my voice getting through?

Oh! Yes! I can hear you! Very clearly!

It's like you're speaking right beside me.

Pretty neat, yeah?

Our craft tends to make you ask that frequently.

It's the eetest-sway and uffiest-flay!

Got your noodles with rich broth

and extra green onions.

Blue-spotted wrasse Poêlé.

With water celery and cauliflower fungus sauté.

Bon Appétit.

Well, it smells amazing.

Jeez! Tastes even better!

Ah! I see so clearly now!

Through a mask?

Hm? What in the world?

Hey, there you are! We're here and ready for a show.

Hold on.

I probably should've suspected as much,

but you were eavesdropping, weren't you?

Senku, do you have a minute?

Hm?

I-I'm staying.

I'm going to help all of the islanders start anew.

I want to see them progress

the way the kingdom of science does.

Then stay.

Only if it's what you really want, though.

It is. Thanks, Senku.

Is there really a reason you should be thanking me, dumb-ass?

Our goal is to revive the world, and if you remain here,

you'll help us achieve that.

Yeah. You bet I will.

You'll always have a tried-and-true ally in me.
