Story
Ivoire - a world covered almost entirely with water, and dotted with islands of various sizes. In this world, humans, beast-people, magical beings, and all kinds of life coexist.

Marona, a girl who can see Phantoms, works alongside her Phantom partner Ash as a Chroma, a type of contractor who travels to various islands and solves people's problems, upon request. As Marona and Ash are returning home from a Chroma job as usual, disaster strikes. Their ship is attacked by a group of vicious ghost ships known as the “Shipwreck Fleet.” A mysterious masked man steals Marona's powers, and to save her, Ash jumps into the horde of enemies alone. Thus, Marona and Ash are separated.

After escaping the Shipwreck Fleet and washing ashore on an isolated island, Marona encounters a young Phantom girl named Apricot, who wants to reunite with her lost father —the captain of the Argento Pirate Crew who once defeated the Shipwreck Fleet. However, the crew is now on the verge of disbanding after losing their captain. Apricot wants to revitalize the crew and search for her father, and Marona agrees to help her.

To travel this region of the sea, which is filled with pirate territories, they must become pirates themselves and expand their own territory. Marona and Apricot decide to work together to revitalize the Argento Pirate Crew in order to reunite with those who are dear to them. Set on the high seas, where ghost ships and pirates run rampant, this story about the bond between Phantoms and the girl who connects with them...is about to unfold.
