In the early 1900s, Russo-Japanese War veteran Saichi Sugimoto embarks on a perilous journey through the rugged wilderness of Hokkaido in search of a rumored hoard of hidden gold. Armed with a cryptic map and the assistance of a native Ainu girl named Asirpa, Sugimoto must navigate through a treacherous landscape filled with murderous cutthroats, bandits, and rogues who are aware of the treasure's existence.

As Sugimoto delves deeper into his quest, he encounters a man known as Botaro the Pirate, a legendary figure with nearly superhuman swimming abilities. Tracking Botaro down will put Sugimoto's claim of immortality to the ultimate test.

Meanwhile, a serial killer lurks in the back alleys of Sapporo, preying on unsuspecting victims. Is this killer another escapee from Abashiri prison, or is he a new adversary altogether? The murders attract the attention of Lieutenant Tsurumi and Hijikata, and a deadly confrontation is on the horizon.

However, the lines between hunter and hunted become blurred as Sugimoto and his companions find themselves in a web of intrigue and deception. With the treasure at stake and their lives on the line, they must unravel the mysteries surrounding Botaro, the serial killer, and the hidden gold before it's too late.

This thrilling adventure, filled with action, suspense, and unexpected twists, takes readers on a journey through the rugged landscapes of Hokkaido and into the heart of darkness. It is a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the lengths that one will go to in pursuit of wealth and glory.
