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 hear they did some real bad shit 
to make it happen.
سمعتُ أنّهم أقدموا على مختلف
الأمور الدنيئة لتحقيق ذلك
Wobei sie sich angeblich die Finger auch
nicht zu knapp schmutzig gemacht haben.
Pero hicieron cosas muy desagradables
para conseguirlo.
Pero hicieron cosas muy desagradables
para conseguirlo.
Il paraît qu’ils ont dû
se salir les mains pour y arriver.
Ma sembra che si siano sporcati le mani per farlo.
Dizem que fizeram coisas bastante
sujas para isso acontecer.
Говорят, они натворили зла ради этого.
