"Ohayou Sekai... GOOD MORNING WORLD!" The earth is shown overlooking the moon before the earth is zoomed up and the Perseus is shown floating on the ocean sea as the Kingdom of Science crew is shown before Hikari and Senku are shown with smiles on their faces. "I dunno just how long I have walked... Carried by the blisters on my feet... Whoa!" The Perseus Crew is shown arriving in America. "Telling the story of this path I've traveled. Crossing through the night that felt so long..." Hikari is shown looking up in shock before a gun is shown firing and Senku and Hikari are shown gasping in shock. "Dreaming a picture perfect scene WHOA! It has sustained me through my endless battle!" The Two ships are shown leaving before South America is shown on a map with two arrows connected to the ships. "To the peaks of the heavens... the palace, so lush and green... Rocks caves in the dark depths." The Kingdom of Science crew's shocked expressions are shown on their faces. "Horizon's ending! I'll travel through them all! So limitless!" Stanley, Xeno and Cora are shown standing together before Cora and Xeno are shown with the South America Exploration Crew. "To reach the boundaries of the earth!" The Split Crew are shown fighting against the American Crew on two sides. "OHAYOU SEKAI GOOD MORNING WORLD!" Asahi and Hyoga are shown back to back before Asahi's shocked back is shown. "Clear the darkness of the impossible!" Senku and Hikari are shown back on earth, reaching up for the moon. "Make legends come to life with just a wish on a star! On A Star!" Hikari is shown on the bow of the ship staring out at the horizon with tears in her eyes. "Guided by the will we've carried all along!" Hikari is shown appearing to gasp before she turns and the Kingdom of Science is shown looking at her. "Let's go explore the world!" Their makeshift globe is shown before Hikari is shown jumping into Senku's arms and she hugs him tightly and the title is shown.

"The winner is Senku!" Ukyo exclaims.

"Through a lot of cheating on both sides... somehow." Chiyo comments.

"I'm rich!" Ginro exclaims.

"Does it really matter?" Fumi asks.

"Oh, you placed a bet, huh?" Ukyo asks.

"Yeah, the audience was betting. It was a little crazy." Chiyo adds.

"This loss cost me practically every last Drago I had dammit!" Yo complains, "But next time! That's when I'll win it all back! C'mon guys - another round sounds great, right?"

"Uh... not great." Kohaku mutters. Ryusui snaps.

"Sure! Great!" Ryusui exclaims.

"Great?!" Yuzuriha, Nikki and Tamaki ask in unison.

"We need a Casino on board!" Ryusui exclaims.

"I told you no before." Hikari states.

"It's fine. It gives everyone something to do when we're not working." Senku explains, "Heh. Here's something you've desired for a while now. It's the rebirth of the casino."

"Ha-Ha! Recreation is a key component of troop logistics!" Ryusu exclaims, "If we're cutting our travel time from 70 days to 40 then we've gotta improve our crew's lifestyle! That's the trade-off! More rations cuts off ten days! Recreational facilities shave away another ten! So now I desire something to eliminate that final ten-day chunk!"

"Something Francois has already thought of." Hikari comments and they walk over to Francois standing behind the bar.

"What's this new shop inside the casino?" Suika asks.

"Heh. With food and fun taken care of, all that's left is drinks." Senku comments.

"It's Bar Francois!" Ryusui exclaims as Francois starts making a drink.

"Y'MEAN WE GET BOOZE?!" The moderners who can drink exclaims.

"But I can't drink alcohol." Suika says.
