Dudu sprang high into the air like a tightly coiled spring launching loose, his rainbow hair bouncing wildly.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTJJsBMIo8
"BOING!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRHo2vCyHz
His leg coiled mid-air like a steel spring, then—
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1hf0JNkIc
"SPRING DROP KICK!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVJC5YXaKs
WHAM!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcFzfdHEwu
Eleo blocked with both arms, skidding backward, his feet scraping the deck. The force nearly launched him off the ship.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzdAtmD9gJ
Eleo gritted his teeth. "Whoa—! Okay, ow. That kinda hurt."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ia0fgaU8L
Meanwhile, the demon girl frantically searched the ship, flipping over barrels and crates.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJoM4yCk0J
"Ugh! Where the hell is a safe boat when you need one?!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmn25E6QHa
Dudu landed back on the deck, stretching his shoulders.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkS4jCxbK5
"Hey, Mr. Rat! You gonna help me or what?!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt8kpLRy3k
Bo’s giant pet rat twitched its nose, then charged at Eleo with blinding speed.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSggVqF3OU
SQUEEEEEEK!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ou73ogoOh
In four seconds…
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ60ILsr31V
BAM! SMACK! CRUNCH!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgDsJ9qCt7
The rat was already on the ground, dazed, holding up a tiny white flag in surrender.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD7q96voWw
The entire crew stared.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdbHMunAtq
Dudu’s jaw dropped. “…You gotta be kidding me.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FBqL2ksgU
The demon girl raised an eyebrow. “Seriously? That fast?”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KYdWN9HO3
Eleo dusted off his hands. “Huh. Guess I’m stronger than a rat.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlktexkkaHt
Dudu facepalmed. “…No shit, idiot.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqUCBK7LiX
He flopped onto the ship dramatically, groaning.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFFGh8AMA1
Eleo cracked his knuckles. "Okay, my turn—INK!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHvhl6osg4
He clapped his hands together.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUD8MxotEK
His arms transformed into a massive black cannon.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5bAzN1wCW
"INK CANNON!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJwCP31YON
BOOOOM!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp09gbEHrQl
A huge black ink ball blasted toward Dudu.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TTSClCzfo
Dudu’s eyes widened. "CRAP—!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ2Jymiq1R
He instantly stretched his legs, making them ridiculously tall to dodge.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i4UplD6Ls
The ink cannonball sailed right past him.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmALeQAHNUI
BAM!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcwPUb3Qxp
It smashed into the ship's hull instead.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh2YyAJITn
Dudu’s face went pale. "Ah shit—"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj4IVkuR6d
The ship shook violently.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonKo3UVXAc
Dudu blinked. "…Maybe I shoulda just let him hit me."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdWdiN6ZPx
Dudu turned to his crew. "DON’T JUST STAND THERE, YOU LAZY BASTARDS! FIX THE SHIP!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKuGVfrN0A
His crew groaned, rolling on the floor like they’d been mortally wounded.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHV1LnO1Xg
"Ughhh, boss… We’re dying over here…"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNevFM44Kr
Dudu squinted. “…YOU ASSHOLES WERE FAKING?!”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3yeneHDFV
The crew sprang up in perfect sync.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTGFsM06Z4
"Sorry, boss!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQbSeRqlTx
Dudu facepalmed again.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0GX4hjakT
Meanwhile, Eleo bolted toward the ship’s railing.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjgZjN6MPa
“Welp, time to go!”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAbnAmN0Qe
He grabbed the demon girl mid-run.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3O2nFMAcp
“Wha—WAIT, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuZcJYG9M8
They both jumped off the flying ship.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAY5ezpza6
Dudu, BK, Bo, and the entire crew ran to the railing and leaned over, staring down.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukzlySfzU4
Silence.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijsorZc1VV
Bo scratched his head. “…I guess he didn’t wanna die alone?”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiR3V87NMv
The entire crew turned to look at him.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCH0sOi0oD
A beat of silence.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNJgzVhxO3
Then—
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEcmY7ibnx
They all BURST INTO LAUGHTER.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjtBQM9hD5
The entire crew collapsed onto the deck, rolling in laughter.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1U7SXzzxE
Dudu wiped away tears. "Alright, alright—somebody get the binoculars. Let’s see if the bunny actually survives."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85kcOGhyab
Dudu snatched the binoculars from his crew and scanned the water below.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqhjEwyzql
Nothing.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1FXYpDVMX
No splashes, no floating bodies—just the vast, endless sea.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuHqm2SF6e
He smirked, tossing the binoculars over his shoulder. "Welp, sucks for them. Guess they’re gonna drown. HA! Sucks to be them!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbvOzvUj4b
The crew burst into cheers.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7wpH0hwVA
Dudu clapped his hands. "Alright, boys, let’s get moving! I need to find Kuma and beat his ass! Then I’LL be the strongest!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGtsW9goZ6
The crew roared.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9rL9q3OK5
“YEEEAAAAHHH!!!”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJd7FOq4oRY
BOOM!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMC2zymeTp
The ship rocketed forward at ridiculous speed, disappearing into the sky like a shooting star.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kYCBfsNHR
Lilith sank deeper and deeper into the ocean, her long purple ponytail drifting like silk.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmlFjJw211
Her eyes fluttered as she saw bubbles escaping her lips.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrU7EtJXtu
(So this is how I die? Drowned in the middle of nowhere because of some idiot rabbit? I swear, if I become a ghost, I’m haunting his ass—)
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX354THM0uB
SPLASH!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldUCeuwq0X
Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed her, pulling her onto a warm back.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvt4xt0PLS6
Eleo kicked furiously toward the surface, holding her up.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNIom7wHsA
Finally, they burst through the water, gasping for air.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUvd20ultY
WHACK!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBwFCNImBe
Lilith slapped Eleo HARD on the head.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IHIxVEUHT
"YOU ASSHOLE! YOU ALMOST KILLED ME!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXfqMeviPm
Eleo rubbed his head. "Ow! What the hell, jerk?! I just saved your life!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1niegZMzIP
Lilith crossed her arms, shivering. "Maybe I wouldn’t have needed saving if you HAD A PLAN!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HMzgeGI5c
Eleo grinned and clapped his hands together. "Ink Bubble!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE28xUPYDsV
A large, floating ink bubble formed around them, lifting them just above the water.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlhYSCetx6
Eleo wiped his brow. "There! Now we don’t need to swim!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrpZWs7b9v
Lilith narrowed her eyes. "…Why didn’t you do that in the first place?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFHaCBYV0Z
Eleo blinked. "Uh… oh yeah. That would’ve been smart."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWw5RFqqhe
Lilith facepalmed.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbSgFte0AF
Eleo stuck out his hand. "Anyway, I’m Eleo!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedaN6woccV
She hesitated before sighing. "Lilith."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQAy38806K
Eleo grinned. "Well, Lilith, I’m on my way to… uh… I dunno, really."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PCY3nw7uA
Lilith rolled her eyes. "There’s a town up north from here."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyWu2mectJ
She hesitated, cheeks turning slightly pink. "And… thanks. For saving me."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLnsKiv6yQ
Eleo grinned wider. "No problem, Lilith!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvtn81Nbbl
He stepped inside the ink bubble, testing its movement.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFu24fP7wc
It floated forward with him.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5Kd6kGAr9
Eleo threw his fists in the air. "YESS! PERFECT!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKub13v7jCo
Lilith raised an eyebrow. "…You do know we literally just fell off a flying ship, right? Why not just use that fancy ship over there?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPAInFSZZ1
She pointed at a small abandoned pirate ship floating nearby.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwMkGwJbJG
Eleo shrugged. "You can use it if you want. I’ma stick with my ink bubble!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgoSXUZKmm
Lilith groaned. "Are you serious? What kind of idiot prefers an unstable magic bubble over a perfectly fine ship?!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTnCiPKd36
Eleo nodded proudly. "THIS idiot!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FfWWleC3Y
Lilith sighed, rubbing her temples. "Fine. Then at least swim me over there—I can’t swim."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCAT0OQ3mU
Eleo grinned. "Nope!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV4p4RcqUg
Lilith stared at him. "…Are you serious?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2xTwt2Pnq
Eleo hopped along the water in his ink bubble.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB1RP4zs6d
"La la la~! Ink bubble! Ink bubble! This thing is awesome!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ7Ur46WGy
Lilith sat inside the bubble, arms crossed. "I swear, I’m going to kill him."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa23lSqxKQB
Then—
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkx0mjpBiQ
Eleo suddenly froze.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVnKeO29RA
His eyes widened in horror.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3g2llQ5wb
"OH NO!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUnYVmSjaz
Lilith snapped to attention. "What?! What happened?!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CybEsjMx5
Eleo fell to his knees dramatically. "MY CARROTS! I FORGOT ABOUT THEM!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHqw0wdHVE
Lilith stared at him in disbelief.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH7oZYmfnG
"…ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS?!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB56mWT2vXb
Eleo grabbed his ears. "THAT WAS MY ONLY FOOD! HOW AM I GONNA EAT NOW?!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa1qk92pwE
Lilith let out a long, exhausted sigh.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94Z7qh7q0R
She snapped her fingers.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8JIEiQNie
POOF!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28jIfWBTBl
A fresh carrot appeared in her palm.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZI6lQlsxw
Eleo’s eyes sparkled like the sun.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aH55oyewG
"LILITH! YOU BEAUTIFUL GENIUS PRINCESS! THANK YOUUUU!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7kiYHLOap
He hugged her tightly.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHZslxPQSY
Lilith stiffened, turning red. "H-Hey! Personal space, idiot!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoUNs1cxbI
Eleo started chomping down the carrot. "Mmmm! So good!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDQqGAhqBq
As he ate, he suddenly noticed her horns and tail.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3TuAnqjgJ
"Hey, Lilith, why do you have horns and a tail? Are you like a really hardcore cosplayer or something?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyyXzqMMMB
Lilith exhaled deeply, pinching the bridge of her nose.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGct8Q3w5Ny
"…I’m a demon, you moron."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU0BJNC7Wq
Eleo blinked.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc8AMUSHll
"OH! That makes sense! …Wait, no, it doesn’t. What’s a demon princess doing locked up in a pirate ship?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcB741ge9z
Lilith crossed her arms. "Hmph. None of your business."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoVX2VxHmP
Eleo shrugged. "Oh well, at least you’re free now!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzmb8o0vbW
Lilith glanced at him, her expression softening just a little.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoV2SYBW5g
(He’s an idiot… but he did save me.)
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk7FSpFxwu
Eleo stood proudly on his ink bubble, chewing his carrot.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYw4uol8nuB
"Alright! Time for adventure!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKatIhn9Ze
After a few hours go by the ink bubble drifted across the calm sea, carrying Eleo and Lilith toward their destination.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79CRvJ7oWE
Lilith crossed her arms, staring ahead. "We should be getting close now."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDiyqS5B8V
Eleo was lounging inside the bubble, casually munching on another carrot. "Man, I hope this place has food. I’m starving."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUMcauwTZQ
Lilith sighed. "It’s called Burger Town. What do you think they sell?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S8JLvLGQ9
Eleo’s ears perked up. "BURGER TOWN?!" He jumped up so fast that the bubble wobbled. "You mean, like, a whole town of BURGERS?! This might be the greatest place ever!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogZYF1dRS1
Lilith facepalmed. "It’s not literally made of burgers, you idiot!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfm17FSLSB
Eleo wasn’t listening. "What if the houses are made of buns?! The streets are made of fries! Oh! Oh! And the rivers are flowing with ketchup—"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrN1zkWoCZ
BOOM.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDstQFRe83
A sudden gust of wind hit them. The scent of smoke and ash filled the air.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0t0uNHPS2
Lilith snapped her head forward, her eyes widening.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JJIEYUIO5
Eleo blinked. "Huh?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFqzCw1fwB
As their ink bubble reached the shore, they finally saw it—
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2ASoH7wEw
Burger Town… completely destroyed.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcSutUC0cX
The once vibrant city was now a wasteland of rubble. Buildings were collapsed, streets were cracked, and the famous Burger Tower—the town’s pride—was split in half. Smoke rose from the ruins, the scent of burning wood lingering in the air.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMs6bxsTJl
Eleo’s ears drooped. "Uh… I don’t think they’re selling burgers anymore."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLer8oyqWrH
Lilith stepped forward, her eyes darting around in disbelief. "No… this can’t be right…"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1ju2RmCSf
Eleo knelt down, picking up a broken wooden sign that once read BURGER TOWN SPECIAL: TRIPLE CHEESE DELUXE! He sighed. "Man, I really wanted to try that…"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRoxqWTCP6
Lilith ignored him. Her hands clenched into fists. "There were people here. Families. Kids." She looked around, her sharp eyes scanning for any survivors.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r3cNPytse
Then—
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZU4VdUEgH
CRUNCH.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAKZpaVOCX
Eleo stepped on something.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtTuwl1UY5
He looked down… and froze.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6KlKJSnM3
A shattered Toy bear… covered in blood.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9CKpnPFIR
Lilith stiffened.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPLqESmNLK
Eleo tilted his head. "Well… that’s probably not good."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGG9WqdGT9
Then—
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTHVeXzEch
A weak voice coughed from the rubble.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM574BJoOKB
"H…Help…"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o7j8GwOhc
Both Eleo and Lilith snapped their heads toward the sound.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE1J8QGZLl
A man, bloodied and barely conscious, was trapped under a collapsed wall.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1Gdd1x9Hk
Lilith rushed over, kneeling beside him. "Hey! Stay with me!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmujetHtij
The man slowly opened his eyes. "D… Demons… they… attacked…"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEFFITob3N
Lilith’s stomach dropped. "Demons?!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIXn4qVvpU
The man weakly grabbed her wrist. "They… were looking… for someone…"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqJSXxagLC
Eleo scratched his head. "Oh? Who?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlQkU8SbGC
The man’s eyes flickered toward Lilith.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG5poSVavv
Lilith felt a cold chill run down her spine.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiizGFHxEN9
Eleo raised an eyebrow. "Wait, wait, wait—are you saying those demons destroyed the whole town looking for Lilith?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitVRsoIq9y
The man gave a faint nod before losing consciousness.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOcZ1FEXnK
Lilith’s fists clenched.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsjccdNOk3
Eleo grinned. "Ooooh! Does this mean we’re gonna fight some demons?!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvvBVljWm7
Lilith deadpanned. "This is NOT a good thing, you idiot!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52eIOvgyvX
Eleo shrugged. "Still sounds fun!"
