Vash is happy in May City resting and meditating but a Peace Hunter never has too much rest as he is going hungry. He decides to ask Neil a local kid if his mothers restaurant could use some help for money or food. He finds Nicholas Wolfwood already working there cooking, and the reason why is because Neils father goes missing and he left the restaurant in debt.
Wolfwood signs Vash up for the city Quick Draw competition in order to win the cash prize of $50,000 double dollars that could save the restaurant. Vash agrees but signs up Nicolas up as well, figuring 2 entries have a better chance of winning. The night before the competition Vash gets a little too drunk off booze but this has not changed his shooting accuracy one bit.
The Quick draw organizer quickly rigs the competition to kill Vash and collect the $60,000,000,000 double dollar bounty on Vash’s head but uses Wolfwood to do it.
