The plan is for the pirates to attack the mercenaries in the open waters between Port Awa and the Khai Empire in order to stop the transaction. However, it is unknown as to which of the seven ships is carrying the women. Yona is invited by Jae-Ha to scout the city streets with him. The two meet a woman disguised as a man, whose female friend was kidnapped in a rundown store, which actually belonged to Kum-Ji. Jae-Ha reports to Gi-Gan that the transaction will take place in two days at noon. Yona volunteers to infiltrate the store in order to signal with a firework which ship is harboring the hostages. Gi-Gan agrees with the condition that Yoon goes as well. After thanking Gi-Gan for this opportunity, Yona later tells Hak to let her go and allow her to make up for the people who have suffered thus far. One day later, Yona and Yoon go to the store dressed as women. A man sends Yona and Yoon in a dark room, where a trap door opens, sending the two underground.
