Story
The World King tournament has been going on for generations since its inception in 12 AD Israel, consisting a team of 3 fighting against other teams to become champions of the tournament and earn their title as "Kings of the Strongest".

On its 330th iteration in 2021 (located in Tokyo, Japan), held by Princess Amelita Generalos Gardania Long the IVth, over 25 partecipants were invited to become the next generation of fighters and claim the title. Unbeknownst to everyone however, a rich man from Argentina (claiming to be the descendant of the original founder) named Francis D. Casio, plans to use the winners of the tournament to make them into brainwashed supersoldiers for his eventual dictatorship of the entire world, working with the champion of the previous year, Code X on initiating the mission. Will one of the 8 teams win the tournament and stop Francis' coup d'etat? Only time will tell...

After defeating Code X on the tournament's conclusion, the Justice Group (consisted of Yasunori Omu, Francesca Maroni and Victor "Dubbele" Vandan) were secretly kidnapped by Francis' agents and take them to his flying fortress, the Laputa, were they met him for the first time, with Francis ready to challenge them to a tough fight. As Francis is defeated, the team escape from the self destruct sequence and reflect on their victory.
