Namor and Namora reminisce with Sun Yat about how they met two years ago when Yat’s son Li Po became embroiled with the pirate White Flower. Po, influenced by his Western friends, had rejected his heritage. Unbeknownst to Po, however, his friends were the very pirates who'd been plundering his family's silk export business, using information unwittingly provided by Po. Namor and Namora deduced the connection and were on hand to stop White Flower’s next raid. In the present, Sun Yat summons Li Po to greet his old friends, who are happy to see that he has reconnected with his culture and family.
