She names her son "Leo" and has him escape from the ship, saying, "Go back to Africa and become the successor of your father." Then a storm comes and the ship is overturned, and sinks with the Queen on it. Leo is washed up on the beach of a port town in the Arabian Peninsula, not Africa. Leo is found and looked after by a boy named Kenichi. A year later, Kenichi and Leo join an expedition to Mt.
