Edmond Dante climbs through the tunnel and switches places with the dead man, he climbs into the bodybag himself and is thrown into the water surrounding the
island. Luckily he had a sharp object with him to cut himself out of the bag. He then gets picked up by a
pirate ship and makes himself useful.

riches beyond your
