Lupin's con never lands the way he plans. An air pirate gang swoops in mid-heist, and suddenly he's chasing the score instead of pulling it, racing through a floating city-state that's barely on any map. A 70-minute reminder that the best Lupin stories aren't about the theft, they're about what happens when the world refuses to let you be the smartest person in the room.

Lupin sets his sights on Shahalta, a tiny European city-state floating in the sky that has had almost no contact with the outside world for years. The country has moved from monarchy to republic, and a national treasure exhibition marks the change. Lupin slips into the exhibition to steal the secret royal treasures, but a gang of sky pirates grabs them before he can. The result is a comic adventure special.
