As Paco and Usagi depart to rescue Meryl Mei, Dragona worries about whether they should board the cruiser due to Meryl Mei's situation but Jodio believes that they should be safe since the pursuers would just be investigating what happened to [[Bobby Jean]] and shouldn't have found out about their plan to impersonate the bank and thus it is still a good opportunity to seize the land. After boarding, Dragona introduces {{PN|them}}self as "Pink Nagasaki", handing over a business card. On the upper deck, Dragona is impressed by the luxury in which Howler lives and wishes {{PN|they}} could ride the merry-go-round installed there. Key West takes an interest in Dragona and asks which university Dragona attended. Dragona thoughtlessly answers "Harvard", shocking Charming Man and Jodio. Key West reveals she also attended Harvard and inquires about how [[Professor Herzberg]] is doing. Dragona is left speechless, but their conversation is interrupted when Key West and Dragona then see Acca holding a gun while walking downstairs to the lower decks, so Key West leaves to follow him and the others.
 
Acca Howler brings the group to a room in the lower decks of his yacht to negotiate with them. At first, he tries to bribe the trio with $40,000,000 in cash each, but the group persists. Charming Man puts Acca under pressure and argues that Acca is in way more trouble than he lets on because the impending government investigation will completely freeze his source of income on the northern slope of Mt. Hualalai. He presents a plan to exchange a land on O'ahu owned by the bank with the HOWLER Company's own land, pretending that it could protect his assets. However, Acca halts their conversation when everyone sees small pieces of rock scattered over the table, and Acca recognizes that it is from the [[Lava Rock]]. Suspicious, he orders Dragona at gunpoint to stand up.<ref>{{Ch|TJL Chapter 23}}</ref> As HowlerAcca becomesgrows enragedfurious, Jodio whispersquietly totells Dragona to use [[Smooth Operators]] to movechange the serial numbers on the money to make itaround worthlessthem, assince he expects Howler to usemaking the bills tocounterfeit searchwould forprevent thethem ownerfrom ofbeing attracted to the Lava Rock.
