An EX-ARM auction is organized by an individual who calls themselves "Auctioneer." Criminal groups from all across the world flock to the Megafloat hoping to get their hands on them.

The Counter Squad is asked by the government to investigate the auction undercover as the bodyguards of Jinkokusha, the leading group in the Japanese underworld. They are immediately dragged into an inter-group conflict, and Akira loses consciousness in combat. When he wakes up, he's greeted by Auctioneer.
I'm amazed you could do that 
to let your friends escape.
من المذهل إقدامك على ذلك
لتمكين رفاقك من الهرب
Um deinen Kollegen
zur Flucht zu verhelfen …
Se sacrifican para permitir
que sus compañeros huyan.
Os sacrificáis para permitir
que vuestros compañeros huyan.
Il faut avoir le courage de faire ça,
même pour aider ses alliés à fuir.
Sebbene sia per far scappare i vostri compagni,
Estou surpreso pelo que fez para
deixar seus amigos escaparem.
Меня впечатлил твой поступок
ради побега друзей.
