Plot
Once a former general and a high ranking officer, Liver professes his undying loyalty to Esdeath for saving his life long ago before proceeding with his mission to kill a Night Raid member and a former friend, Bulat. Shortly after, Liver reveals his Teigu that allows him to freely manipulate liquid substances that are nearby. While the two battle it out, Tatsumi stops Nyau from interfering, but the later manages to keep up and overtakes the former, despite having sustained injuries a while ago.

Taking advantage of the crowded ship, Liver sends a huge torrent of water from the air towards it, luring Bulat out in the open before sending waves of heavy attacks towards him, assuming that he successfully killed the former. To his surprise, Bulat dashes to the ship's deck to deliver a fatal blow, but Nyau, who had previously defeated Tatsumi, steps in and manages to direct Bulat's attack towards himself.

Having sustained heavy amount of damage and are in no condition to use their Teigu, Liver attempts to persuade Bulat to join Esdeath's group in hopes of becoming his comrade in arms once again. The man calmly rejects his offer, stating that he wouldn't be able to consider himself a defender of the people no more. Before commencing with their final sword clash, Liver injects himself with a strength enhancing drug in attempt to overpower Bulat, but loses when the later brakes the former's sword and lands a fatal blow. With no other resort left, Liver uses his Teigu's trump card to create blades of blood from his fresh wound and sends them flying towards the man. Bulat manages to stop most of them, while few successfully hit its target. Before he passes away, Liver reveals his reasons for joining Esdeath, as well as that the drug, in addition for boosting his strength, also serves as poison, indicating that Bulat has been poised as well, once he was hit with the blades of blood.

As the battle slowly comes to an end, Bulat entrusts Tatsumi with Incursio's key, while Nyau uses his Teigu's trump card to enhance his own strength. Wanting their final fight to last as long as possible, Nyau advises Tatsumi not to use the Teigu due to the strain it puts on the user. Due to all the training and Bulat's encouragement, Tatsumi uses the key to summon Incursio. To Nyau and Bulat's surprise, the raw form of the beast appears behind Tatsumi, before it adapts to its new user and bestows him with its armor. Still feeling confident, Nyau charges forth with all his might, but is instantly defeated and killed with a single blow from Tatsumi. Feeling confident that the young man will continue to strive towards becoming stronger and without regrets, Bulat succumbs to the poison and dies with a smile on his face, leaving Tatsumi to mourn over his death, as he promises to learn to use Incursio properly.

Far away in another location, a small group is gathered around a huge pile of bodies, while a young girl, known as Kurome, sits on top of the pile, eating her sweets. She shortly get's informed that she was summoned to The Empire's capital to become one of the six members of the new organisation. She get's up and wonders if she'll get to see her sister again.
