Bao and Salmon, a warrior hired by the pirates,
both fall into the sea. When they re-surface, The
Steamer has disappeared without trace.
Together, Super Bao and Salmon embark on a
search for The Steamer. As Salmon’s captive,
Super Bao constantly tries to escape, but never-
theless must rely on his enemy’s tracking skills.
Meanwhile, Salmon must take Super Bao back
to his master to complete his task. They are for
the present bound together by the rope of fate.
Super Bao wants to save his friends, while
Salmon has to obey his master’s orders, though
he still honors the warrior code. Despite their
personalities and positions being poles apart,
the two enemies must work together to deal
with the numerous dangers and difficulties they
face. From reluctantly accepting the other to
actively co-operating with each other, Super
Bao and Salmon gradually reach a mutual
understanding and grow together. Finally, they
find the right path to become heroes. In the
meantime, the Pirate King reveals his evil
scheme: he seeks to take advantage of the Five-
Flavor Stone’s power to fill the world with salt,
so that all foods can be pickled as he wishes.
When the pirates are only a step away from
achieving their diabolical plan, Super Bao
catches up with The Steamer. But the cruel
Pirate King once again destroys his dream of
saving the world and Super Bao finds himself
on the verge of death. At this moment, Salmon,
an unexpected friend of Super Bao, boldly steps
forward…
