You guys, this is one fine ship.
No doubt, it's loaded with some fine items, right?
Hand them all over!
What are you talking about?!
Don't mess with us!
Who the hell are you?!
Who, me?
We are...
We're pirates!
Episode 4
Pirates
What the hell? Who are these people?
What's that?
A Magic Tool?
Bye bye!
Y-You people...
He's just a kid?
Get them!
Damn it!
Why would children...
become pirates?
Who are these guys?
They're definitely not normal!
Olba! Help us out, Olba!
What a disgraceful bunch you are!
And you call yourselves the sons of Umm Madaura?
S-Sorry...
Stay out of my way.
You! How old are you?
Are they forcing you to work in a place like this?
You poor child...
Is that another Magic Tool?
Oh, no!
No one told you you could move!
Aladdin!
It's no use.
Wh-What's happening?
Damn it! This is nothing!
Crap!
The troublemakers are gone.
Seize the cargo!
Yes!
H-Hey, man... your arm...
Didn't I tell you...
That next time, it would be my turn to fight?
What? What the hell's with his arm?
Apparently, this is the power of Zagan.
I can awaken the power of any plants that have touched my Metal Vessel.
Don't let that thing spook you!
You're not worthy to call yourselves sons of Uum Madaura!
Take this!
It won't take long for me to defeat these guys!
We've got to find Aladdin immediately!
Damn it!
Stand your ground! Blitz them, everybody!
Hakuryuu!
Zaug Mobarezo!
What the-?
It's over.
Damn!
Hold up!
I've still got a hostage.
One wrong move from you, and I'll destroy him!
Aladdin!
Are we clear? You just sit tight, now.
You guys, retrieve the cargo!
See ya!
They went underwater!
Hang in there!
Bring us some water, please!
Are you all right?
Yes, thank you.
But they found the precious cargo we were carrying, and made off with it.
There's no way that I can face King Sinbad now...
Forgive me. I know you want to search for your friend...
but we've got to take these injured sailors ashore.
Those guys... who are they, anyway?
They're Umm Madaura.
Umm Madaura?
And what exactly is their story?
Captain!
Is it an enemy attack?
No. Actually...
It's gigantic!
It's the Aktia Navy.
Navy?
Yes. Those men are members of the Aktia Kingdom's navy.
This port is located in a country called the Aktia Kingdom.
The Aktia ports...
serve as crucial contact points linking the continents to the east and west.
This is awful...
It's totally out of control!
This port was ravaged by those pirates,
even though it was protected by a powerful navy?
Yes. This is the work of Umm Madaura.
We're with the Aktian Navy.
You guys were aboard the Sindrian trade ship that just made port here, correct?
Admiral, sir.
What exactly is Umm Madaura?
They're pirates from the West.
A ferocious lot who use their mastery of Magic Tools to pillage.
But how could you be beaten by these pirates?
Being that they're so heavily-guarded,
surely there's no way the Aktian seas could be overrun by pirates?
That's true.
However, since we've been forced to send troops to the northern border,
our sea patrols have become shorthanded.
Northern... border?
Yes. The front lines of our defense against Magnostadt.
Ever since the fall of the Musta'sim Kingdom,
they've begun to encroach on neighboring countries.
We can no longer predict what they'll unleash next. It's a truly ominous nation.
Aladdin... was he actually trying to go to such a country?
Actually... that might be precisely why he was trying to go there.
We beg of you!
Why won't you fight for us?
What's this?
Oh please, not again...
Please rescue my child!
Bring back the children the pirates took from us!
Children?
What are they talking about?
You see...
Every time the Umm Madaura strike, they kidnap the children from the villages they plunder.
Not only that, but for some reason they only take children from the slums...
Who knows what plans they have for them?
Aladdin...
Hey, so you're awake?
Where am I?
At the bottom of the sea!
Huh? Usually, the kids we bring here sob, or wail their hearts out,
but you seem pretty calm.
That's not true. I'm surprised by all this too, and scared!
Either way, you'll never escape now.
I'll string you up if you cause any trouble.
So sit tight like a good kid.
Olba! This is bad, Aero is...
What?
Is this also a Magic Tool?
This device must be what allows them to sail underwater.
The emblem of Magnostadt?
No way...
Do all the other Magic Tools have it too?
Aero! Pull yourself together!
Olba...
You can keep going, right?
Stay strong!
O-Okay...
They're using these children's Magoi to operate that device!
They have to stop! If they keep that up any longer, they're sure to die!
Stay out of the way!
I don't mind. As long as it's for Umm Madaura...
Do your best, Aero!
It's for Umm Madaura's sake!
If you keep going until you drop, she's going to lift your praise to the skies!
Right!
You can't rescue those children?
What do you mean?
Since that pirate ship of theirs moves underwater...
Pursuit has become impossible, even for us, the Aktian Navy.
We can't even pinpoint where their hideout is.
You're talking about that strange-looking Magic Tool?
But, sir! Are you just going to allow our children to be killed?
Damn it! Isn't there something we can do?
Please don't worry, Alibaba.
I've already got a plan in motion.
Awaken them.
Zagan!
Wh-What the heck is this?
This is just an herb-claw root.
Herb-claw root?
Hold up... you mean that grass from the pea family with the insanely long roots?
That's used for herbs and stuff?
Correct. Zagan has awakened its unique qualities
and amplified them to the maximum.
I scattered some seeds over the cargo they stole.
Basically, if we follow this root, it will lead us directly to their hideout!
For real? That's awesome!
I mean, it's beyond awesome!
So you can manipulate any plant at will?
No...
This is a combination of Zagan's power and my powers of Magoi Manipulation.
Zagan can only manipulate plants that have come into contact with my Metal Vessel.
But if I use Magoi Manipulation to imbue a plant with Zagan's power,
I can continue to manipulate it until the Magoi is exhausted.
Now we know where the hideout is.
Let's leave at once to save those children!
But the thing is...
We have no way of gauging the enemy's strength.
Our battleship was entrusted to us by the king,
and as such, we cannot deploy it for such a foolhardy mission.
But...
Using that excuse again?!
Hey, you damned naval officers, why don't you just tell us the truth?
The truth?
If they were the children of the nobility or the royal family,
you know damn well that you'd rescue them!
You guys are always...
When it comes to poor people like us,
you couldn't care less how much we suffer!
The royal family can go to hell!
Shut up! Another word from you, and we'll charge you with treason against the royal family of Aktia!
And we'll have you locked up for that!
Hey, you two...
are you in any hurry to set off on your journeys?
No.
I know what it is that you want to say.
Right.
Uh... Everybody!
We'll go rescue your children!
Just you three? That's insane!
One of our friends has been captured as well.
Don't worry. I promise you that we'll save your kids!
Thank you very much.
But, we've been abandoned by our own country.
Even if you were to save them...
We have no money to give you in return...
We don't want anything like that.
Kassim...
These are the kind of people that you wanted to save, right?
Well, that's why I'm going to fight!
You fight as well...
This is our home.
Olba!
Are you doing okay?
Yeah!
Yes!
I'm scared!
Mother! I want to go home!
You guys come this way.
Welcome home, Olba!
Welcome home!
Wait up!
Eat up.
You're name's Olba, right?
Why are there only children here?
Take a look at those two.
They're the kids I brought in the other day.
Until now, they probably never had a square meal in their lives.
All the kids here were more or less in the same boat.
Now that they're here with Umm Madaura,
they've discovered the blessing of eating their fill,
and sleeping without any worries.
Umm Madaura!
What good kids you are, my children.
Madaura! Olba saved us once again today with his air bubble!
I see. Well done, Olba.
Please continue to look after your little brothers, all right?
Sure!
You're a new face, aren't you?
I'm glad you came, little boy.
Are you... Umm Madaura?
Yes, I am Umm Madaura.
The mother of all the miserable children who inhabit this world.
Little boy, now that you've become one of my own, everything will be all right.
Starvation, cold, illness and anxiety...
I shall protect you
from all of those things.
Welcome,
to Madaura!
What's the matter, little boy?
On the ship coming over, I saw children who had collapsed.
They'd exhausted all their strength,
saying it was for Madaura's sake.
Is that what you would call a blessing?
How is it not a blessing?
We're alive, thanks to Madaura.
So surely we'll die for her, too.
He's right! If it would make Madaura happy...
Hey, Madaura! I'll gladly die for you, too!
Madaura!
Madaura! Madaura! Madaura! Madaura!
Little boy,
I can see that you're still a bad child.
But don't worry.
You'll understand, given time.
Madaura is your whole world!
Thank you...
for lending us your precious ship.
Well, our sailors survived because of you, after all.
Use it as much as you need!
What?! Aladdin's been kidnapped?!
Hey! Damn you, don't push me, Yamraiha!
I'm not pushing!
Is that...?
You did too push me!
We found it in Aladdin's luggage.
I said I didn't push you, Baldy!
I told you, I'm not bald, for crying out loud!
It's the Eye of the Rukh, a Magic Tool that allows you to communicate with someone in a distant location.
Somehow I managed to activate it myself.
Is that you, Alibaba?
Yes.
Hakuryuu told me what happened.
As far as Sindria is concerned, we can't allow such a menace to affect our trade with Aktia.
I'm also worried about Aladdin.
Would you like me to send backup?
No, I think we can handle this ourselves somehow.
I see. But be careful.
Depending on how it's wielded, a Magic Tool can become a considerable threat.
Do your best, now.
Good luck!
Right!
They really are something, huh? Those Magic Tools...
Yes, they are.
Hey, Hakuryuu.
What is it?
You... really seem to have mastered how to use Zagan, huh?
Good for you...
Uh... Thank you very much.
So... You know, that other thing...
Don't tell me that you...
...can perform a full Djinn Equip too?
You can't, right?
Well, now... What do you think?
What? You mean you can do it?! Then teach me how!
I don't want to.
Why not? Even after everything we've been through?
Thank goodness... they seem to have reconciled.
I don't want to.
I can see an island up ahead!
Do you think it's beyond that little island?
All right... let's go!
Trouble!
The ship... the ship is...
What the hell is this?
Enemy attack! From the south!
A ship's heading straight toward us!
Wh-What?!
Straight toward us, he said?
They're wasting their time! This island is surrounded by cliffs.
There's no way that they could enter!
Here goes.
All right... what do you say we go on a rampage?
In order to rescue me after I was captured by pirates,
Alibaba and the others have stormed the pirates' island.
Since we'd overcome so many perilous situations before,
I thought that it would end without too much struggle, but...
Episode 5 Mother
Next time on Magi...
"Mother".
Umm Madaura... who in the world are you?
Everybody, watch out! Don't be fooled by her words!
See You Next Time!
