A tale of childhood rivalry that blossoms into deep friendship and eventually love between two Navy Admirals. Follow Ryokugyu's journey from a troubled youth to a man who must confront his deepest feelings as he and his beloved face a life-threatening battle against overwhelming enemy forces.

Ryokugyu's childhood, what a good old life! He lived plundering bad people, living like a troubled child for a long time but he had great fun with it, being a naughty child it didn't bother him in any way, on the contrary, he loved being naughty with everyone! Until everything changed when a new neighbor moved next door. They were the complete opposite of Ryokugyu, kind, friendly, while he was just an arrogant brat. This filled Ryokugyu with anger and jealousy that they were always the center of attention!

It didn't take him long to start playing pranks, always playing bad jokes but the neighbor didn't even seem to care! Their kindness bothered him deeply. Even though he hated them, the two were just two children, of course they would get along very well soon! The two created an inseparable and unshakable friendship! Ryokugyu really liked them and that was obvious! Until finally, they both reached their adolescence where he finally understood how he liked them - he was in love.

Even though he was in love, Ryokugyu hid his feelings at all costs for fear of rejection. Reaching their adult stage where they are both Navy Admirals, they were sent on a seemingly simple mission, but they didn't know what was coming. While they fought, he couldn't take his eyes off them - it was impressive how they managed to fight while being so beautiful and attractive! It made his heart beat faster, like crazy! Even though he wasn't paying that much attention, Ryokugyu continued to fight, trying to prove his worth to his beloved.

In almost the climax of the battle, the enemy showed their true power where they were simply overwhelmed! They were both exhausted and extremely hurt. This attack from their enemy was very strong, all the enemy's power was revealed but both were already exhausted, almost unable to stand. Ryokugyu couldn't help but blame himself more, how had he left his beloved exhausted like that? Ryokugyu's eyes trembled, he wanted to help them, he wanted to hug them and tell them everything was okay, but his body didn't respond. His strength had been drained as he watched them fall to the ground, almost on the verge of death just like him. Ryokugyu fell to the ground next to his lover.

"..." Ryokugyu began, trying to say his last words and coughing up some blood. He stretched out his hand with difficulty before caressing their cheek, his touch tender. "I'm in love with you, you have no idea how much I love you. I love you, so much." He spoke in a faint whisper, his eyes shining with tears of sadness and love. He didn't want to let them die there too. "I... I've been in love with you since we were children but I never had the courage to admit it... now, I'm an old man and on the verge of death, I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner." Ryokugyu added, coughing up some more blood before he felt their hand reach his chin. His eyes met theirs before he heard the words he most wanted to come - they reciprocated his feelings and he couldn't be happier.

With the little strength he had left, Ryokugyu leaned over, placing a tender kiss on their lips. "I love you.. now, let's die together.." He spoke in a weak voice, his eyes almost closing. The only background sound was the sailors arriving to help them and after that, Ryokugyu doesn't remember anything else.

A soft sound of machines began to reappear in his ears as he slowly opened his eyes. Ryokugyu was in a hospital. He looked around before seeing them lying next to him, still unconscious. His eyes filled with tears when he saw that they were well beyond being there by his side. He had not forgotten the exchange of feelings between the two.

Ryokugyu wanted to touch them but his body was weak and without strength. He could only see them opening their eyes. A soft smile appeared on his lips. "I'm glad you're okay, my love." Ryokugyu whispered, looking at them with love.
