Dudu sprang high into the air like a tightly coiled spring launching loose, his rainbow hair bouncing wildly.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvGFuPhrmh
"BOING!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDjCWveA6o
His leg coiled mid-air like a steel spring, then—
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJClQ2UaWyq
"SPRING DROP KICK!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5NqxY6aMt
WHAM!
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQsueabziD
Eleo blocked with both arms, skidding backward, his feet scraping the deck. The force nearly launched him off the ship.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMiulJ2kXZ
Eleo gritted his teeth. "Whoa—! Okay, ow. That kinda hurt."
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2RdULXr4I
Meanwhile, the demon girl frantically searched the ship, flipping over barrels and crates.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYf7kBa90V
"Ugh! Where the hell is a safe boat when you need one?!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeISGZJilg
Dudu landed back on the deck, stretching his shoulders.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScBXQ4o6bz
"Hey, Mr. Rat! You gonna help me or what?!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGKejbjdWp
Bo’s giant pet rat twitched its nose, then charged at Eleo with blinding speed.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44LWWuN5Nd
SQUEEEEEEK!
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7k75TqDgn
In four seconds…
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYzPEZQHyv
BAM! SMACK! CRUNCH!
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67Z2dhaqE8
The rat was already on the ground, dazed, holding up a tiny white flag in surrender.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL37tlZjPp
The entire crew stared.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefEWZsrOnn
Dudu’s jaw dropped. “…You gotta be kidding me.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYkfKvyY9c
The demon girl raised an eyebrow. “Seriously? That fast?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzn1y1YbZv
Eleo dusted off his hands. “Huh. Guess I’m stronger than a rat.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLy6qPutuO
Dudu facepalmed. “…No shit, idiot.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzduKV8XUVX
He flopped onto the ship dramatically, groaning.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaNhDiKK6d
Eleo cracked his knuckles. "Okay, my turn—INK!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyhv8v7TGO
He clapped his hands together.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczyOyHfHtw
His arms transformed into a massive black cannon.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUlgr6XXxe
"INK CANNON!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnsV6IrD2J
BOOOOM!
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jkVzkcuvs
A huge black ink ball blasted toward Dudu.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN6X73pwt4
Dudu’s eyes widened. "CRAP—!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneskwm9xQD
He instantly stretched his legs, making them ridiculously tall to dodge.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUSKkxjvfc
The ink cannonball sailed right past him.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnemr6YFkh
BAM!
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVjXdW8GoL
It smashed into the ship's hull instead.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dYMHHxJe7
Dudu’s face went pale. "Ah shit—"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqiFeUHAtb
The ship shook violently.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WTBmJ2NiL
Dudu blinked. "…Maybe I shoulda just let him hit me."
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj37Kz85pa
Dudu turned to his crew. "DON’T JUST STAND THERE, YOU LAZY BASTARDS! FIX THE SHIP!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldTjasLDHD
His crew groaned, rolling on the floor like they’d been mortally wounded.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LepIX6EWa
"Ughhh, boss… We’re dying over here…"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHezcyFjSQ
Dudu squinted. “…YOU ASSHOLES WERE FAKING?!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOJPgpBPvX
The crew sprang up in perfect sync.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SaC71f3G4
"Sorry, boss!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINh0TtzhkM
Dudu facepalmed again.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKCHb9Ed30
Meanwhile, Eleo bolted toward the ship’s railing.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvpgNKwx13
“Welp, time to go!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpYN35FZI2
He grabbed the demon girl mid-run.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPE76pRurZ
“Wha—WAIT, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrQVjWExEx
They both jumped off the flying ship.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirQSpjWXu7
Dudu, BK, Bo, and the entire crew ran to the railing and leaned over, staring down.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZXmXN2gai
Silence.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4S2pxXOGv
Bo scratched his head. “…I guess he didn’t wanna die alone?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEzK1FULFO
The entire crew turned to look at him.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmURBfgXBQV
A beat of silence.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvo9sI7a1Y
Then—
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5mUNl1qbe
They all BURST INTO LAUGHTER.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4s7uYymsp
The entire crew collapsed onto the deck, rolling in laughter.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEioIvXXPP
Dudu wiped away tears. "Alright, alright—somebody get the binoculars. Let’s see if the bunny actually survives."
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfrS6VhqDX
Dudu snatched the binoculars from his crew and scanned the water below.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvIJNnNFzM
Nothing.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4bY6XgtxE
No splashes, no floating bodies—just the vast, endless sea.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAXv2FjHQF
He smirked, tossing the binoculars over his shoulder. "Welp, sucks for them. Guess they’re gonna drown. HA! Sucks to be them!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vpuPbSyks
The crew burst into cheers.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWLaNH3ciG
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!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNOua22JeZ
The crew roared.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfnVv6M18B
“YEEEAAAAHHH!!!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl5UzgTZT9
BOOM!
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgtWhTFldB
The ship rocketed forward at ridiculous speed, disappearing into the sky like a shooting star.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjllU8kvbFJ
Lilith sank deeper and deeper into the ocean, her long purple ponytail drifting like silk.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq3m38VIqu
Her eyes fluttered as she saw bubbles escaping her lips.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12YbsdNf9s
(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—)
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xsoX6sQEk
SPLASH!
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqGBlwLFhg
Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed her, pulling her onto a warm back.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrr6MzjOl2
Eleo kicked furiously toward the surface, holding her up.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHk1GiFPtH
Finally, they burst through the water, gasping for air.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbBKJgiUfA
WHACK!
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uuJUfkmmF
Lilith slapped Eleo HARD on the head.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur4Rf1kg6u
"YOU ASSHOLE! YOU ALMOST KILLED ME!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBGVMkWLk8
Eleo rubbed his head. "Ow! What the hell, jerk?! I just saved your life!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGsE5XFmdC
Lilith crossed her arms, shivering. "Maybe I wouldn’t have needed saving if you HAD A PLAN!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtceaocTPu2
Eleo grinned and clapped his hands together. "Ink Bubble!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1ONCfhOBX
A large, floating ink bubble formed around them, lifting them just above the water.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY5j5ulvpE
Eleo wiped his brow. "There! Now we don’t need to swim!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8GEWzaQbu
Lilith narrowed her eyes. "…Why didn’t you do that in the first place?"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl6QqQfQ8I
Eleo blinked. "Uh… oh yeah. That would’ve been smart."
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaTToSvzCv
Lilith facepalmed.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9N1zB6qNu
Eleo stuck out his hand. "Anyway, I’m Eleo!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6Ti9z1ODM
She hesitated before sighing. "Lilith."
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFWdG5OPv5
Eleo grinned. "Well, Lilith, I’m on my way to… uh… I dunno, really."
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0hr5fpcsf
Lilith rolled her eyes. "There’s a town up north from here."
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91sRZnsbHu
She hesitated, cheeks turning slightly pink. "And… thanks. For saving me."
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8OuUc5D8G
Eleo grinned wider. "No problem, Lilith!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyRYw5TJnP
He stepped inside the ink bubble, testing its movement.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjyYN8sYUU
It floated forward with him.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3vmrJLzil
Eleo threw his fists in the air. "YESS! PERFECT!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxjexG9w41
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?"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdQQ5xADJ1
She pointed at a small abandoned pirate ship floating nearby.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVg6l6bEl4
Eleo shrugged. "You can use it if you want. I’ma stick with my ink bubble!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptHbzX0phs
Lilith groaned. "Are you serious? What kind of idiot prefers an unstable magic bubble over a perfectly fine ship?!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenrTzDHdCJ
Eleo nodded proudly. "THIS idiot!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4sqTadr06
Lilith sighed, rubbing her temples. "Fine. Then at least swim me over there—I can’t swim."
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5sDbxUb37
Eleo grinned. "Nope!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2CzUUYM0V
Lilith stared at him. "…Are you serious?"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBiwM8ZhH3
Eleo hopped along the water in his ink bubble.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d1yDu26BA
"La la la~! Ink bubble! Ink bubble! This thing is awesome!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwsnbymJ3q
Lilith sat inside the bubble, arms crossed. "I swear, I’m going to kill him."
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgqW7FS0Oa
Then—
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjarG8v0L6
Eleo suddenly froze.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXUtl4eQmq
His eyes widened in horror.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2HzT38cVV
"OH NO!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ckokHXyvF
Lilith snapped to attention. "What?! What happened?!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI2xUCSMNN
Eleo fell to his knees dramatically. "MY CARROTS! I FORGOT ABOUT THEM!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFXwM4B4c9
Lilith stared at him in disbelief.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOqoe0eoe4
"…ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS?!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfDVJllzc7
Eleo grabbed his ears. "THAT WAS MY ONLY FOOD! HOW AM I GONNA EAT NOW?!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUINnzdK4E
Lilith let out a long, exhausted sigh.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7sMxJ9b2U
She snapped her fingers.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahElOmaG5k
POOF!
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6AxDR8Y6J
A fresh carrot appeared in her palm.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfQUIPTnl9
Eleo’s eyes sparkled like the sun.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRSXUnvJQK
"LILITH! YOU BEAUTIFUL GENIUS PRINCESS! THANK YOUUUU!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6WDLF3iaq
He hugged her tightly.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWZvwns4K4
Lilith stiffened, turning red. "H-Hey! Personal space, idiot!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhL194tB0M
Eleo started chomping down the carrot. "Mmmm! So good!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZrgIh13sc
As he ate, he suddenly noticed her horns and tail.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4GazbpwVb
"Hey, Lilith, why do you have horns and a tail? Are you like a really hardcore cosplayer or something?"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRagvwYPb8D
Lilith exhaled deeply, pinching the bridge of her nose.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xNhfoV3Y3
"…I’m a demon, you moron."
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K3ESpQbv9
Eleo blinked.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkdgOTbAmA
"OH! That makes sense! …Wait, no, it doesn’t. What’s a demon princess doing locked up in a pirate ship?"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3KXkpYg5F
Lilith crossed her arms. "Hmph. None of your business."
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLzUc2Bf02
Eleo shrugged. "Oh well, at least you’re free now!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZD4b9en4K
Lilith glanced at him, her expression softening just a little.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKAxSHKvv6
(He’s an idiot… but he did save me.)
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdpRLJDc5D
Eleo stood proudly on his ink bubble, chewing his carrot.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x3JFp5Ksd
"Alright! Time for adventure!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplXR00F41M
After a few hours go by the ink bubble drifted across the calm sea, carrying Eleo and Lilith toward their destination.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwv9KPk70Y
Lilith crossed her arms, staring ahead. "We should be getting close now."
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0Hpz5ZBPc
Eleo was lounging inside the bubble, casually munching on another carrot. "Man, I hope this place has food. I’m starving."
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5pXLp3ulq
Lilith sighed. "It’s called Burger Town. What do you think they sell?"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDC0SVuhmJ
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!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxzP6zAb2d
Lilith facepalmed. "It’s not literally made of burgers, you idiot!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7fFpcW6vM
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—"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuml52DzgmF
BOOM.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKzrBWqyJg
A sudden gust of wind hit them. The scent of smoke and ash filled the air.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWHxBTVpCv
Lilith snapped her head forward, her eyes widening.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tGSLXy4SQ
Eleo blinked. "Huh?"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7UP6OrQrt
As their ink bubble reached the shore, they finally saw it—
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvZyjpfCuS
Burger Town… completely destroyed.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ07sf6SAmo
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP9mhiXBfT
Eleo’s ears drooped. "Uh… I don’t think they’re selling burgers anymore."
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy19pedMoP4
Lilith stepped forward, her eyes darting around in disbelief. "No… this can’t be right…"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ksbBH2eDw
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…"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY521U82hQT
Lilith ignored him. Her hands clenched into fists. "There were people here. Families. Kids." She looked around, her sharp eyes scanning for any survivors.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXUbPnPFKH
Then—
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTYir6jW5X
CRUNCH.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZMFvkAAbo
Eleo stepped on something.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCOub5huSF
He looked down… and froze.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcpQJApRrz
A shattered Toy bear… covered in blood.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgh9VpaIPP
Lilith stiffened.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoLWM5nxq5
Eleo tilted his head. "Well… that’s probably not good."
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMJpVgQTqA
Then—
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuhDcJ8154
A weak voice coughed from the rubble.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcEmiahgfT
"H…Help…"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqEZD7vqOL
Both Eleo and Lilith snapped their heads toward the sound.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC17epSCxEw
A man, bloodied and barely conscious, was trapped under a collapsed wall.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY4HGPH9GB
Lilith rushed over, kneeling beside him. "Hey! Stay with me!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV9VdsGR9o
The man slowly opened his eyes. "D… Demons… they… attacked…"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCoj9VBbHo
Lilith’s stomach dropped. "Demons?!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzcQkK015R
The man weakly grabbed her wrist. "They… were looking… for someone…"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GJs5F2Miz
Eleo scratched his head. "Oh? Who?"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD60GfxZe3
The man’s eyes flickered toward Lilith.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLoMDufJ1c
Lilith felt a cold chill run down her spine.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSFWUglR24
Eleo raised an eyebrow. "Wait, wait, wait—are you saying those demons destroyed the whole town looking for Lilith?"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeIlji4nlF
The man gave a faint nod before losing consciousness.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTwiDqhYL5
Lilith’s fists clenched.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nxmZiWoIU
Eleo grinned. "Ooooh! Does this mean we’re gonna fight some demons?!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9zo0GXP4S
Lilith deadpanned. "This is NOT a good thing, you idiot!"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri1EjQ8c5B
Eleo shrugged. "Still sounds fun!"
