Dudu sprang high into the air like a tightly coiled spring launching loose, his rainbow hair bouncing wildly.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8ooDsdjoE
"BOING!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegZtRn3s9s
His leg coiled mid-air like a steel spring, then—
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF85fY5NfRx
"SPRING DROP KICK!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B2FPMI2yb
WHAM!
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLDHCGxRmK
Eleo blocked with both arms, skidding backward, his feet scraping the deck. The force nearly launched him off the ship.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYooQYmCCIs
Eleo gritted his teeth. "Whoa—! Okay, ow. That kinda hurt."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqrB7iVgZt
Meanwhile, the demon girl frantically searched the ship, flipping over barrels and crates.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYxt4oEpBj
"Ugh! Where the hell is a safe boat when you need one?!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZlW5EV4K4
Dudu landed back on the deck, stretching his shoulders.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRjbQDdHT7
"Hey, Mr. Rat! You gonna help me or what?!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCMZ7e82v3
Bo’s giant pet rat twitched its nose, then charged at Eleo with blinding speed.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKIbn6P9yf
SQUEEEEEEK!
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGdZbdZp1F
In four seconds…
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ5THWmdhf
BAM! SMACK! CRUNCH!
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IeKFBP0f5
The rat was already on the ground, dazed, holding up a tiny white flag in surrender.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiTiULfFsZ
The entire crew stared.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8uOE8Jcpx
Dudu’s jaw dropped. “…You gotta be kidding me.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm7uIzZngm
The demon girl raised an eyebrow. “Seriously? That fast?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCOefGcsFY
Eleo dusted off his hands. “Huh. Guess I’m stronger than a rat.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWFAjOwv9n
Dudu facepalmed. “…No shit, idiot.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4DTzkOcHI
He flopped onto the ship dramatically, groaning.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10nysW4Cwn
Eleo cracked his knuckles. "Okay, my turn—INK!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9BPkfMPyR
He clapped his hands together.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf2rMkkGiR
His arms transformed into a massive black cannon.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNLKfHL56k
"INK CANNON!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2jZB6CTp5
BOOOOM!
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCiYeMFduS
A huge black ink ball blasted toward Dudu.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzX0oxVd1g
Dudu’s eyes widened. "CRAP—!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqutSKTb5p
He instantly stretched his legs, making them ridiculously tall to dodge.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszjOdK9fNf
The ink cannonball sailed right past him.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpPLJ6uCGJ
BAM!
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqExUpz2no
It smashed into the ship's hull instead.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ldtEvHMgT
Dudu’s face went pale. "Ah shit—"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvnoMg4Zo0
The ship shook violently.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUVCFQ3T2f
Dudu blinked. "…Maybe I shoulda just let him hit me."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmujlF13t3n
Dudu turned to his crew. "DON’T JUST STAND THERE, YOU LAZY BASTARDS! FIX THE SHIP!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBd4ddJL2G
His crew groaned, rolling on the floor like they’d been mortally wounded.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkxbNftsMo
"Ughhh, boss… We’re dying over here…"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm0Uevcf5E
Dudu squinted. “…YOU ASSHOLES WERE FAKING?!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnuEUEIFGM
The crew sprang up in perfect sync.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1zwLSN3Og
"Sorry, boss!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3nXOGbtAI
Dudu facepalmed again.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNMItt0Qu2
Meanwhile, Eleo bolted toward the ship’s railing.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdVfi2Va0D
“Welp, time to go!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrl03uiTO1
He grabbed the demon girl mid-run.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPGXyUprLV
“Wha—WAIT, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEvaUmpyzg
They both jumped off the flying ship.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiyTqN3B2M
Dudu, BK, Bo, and the entire crew ran to the railing and leaned over, staring down.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQnTR3EVrh
Silence.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZJlWEr67U
Bo scratched his head. “…I guess he didn’t wanna die alone?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW6n3VDfSw
The entire crew turned to look at him.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8T1sMAQHS
A beat of silence.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWgFt7dKhw
Then—
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMGcOEwBN0
They all BURST INTO LAUGHTER.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEIojIn25e
The entire crew collapsed onto the deck, rolling in laughter.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY6lQ2RfJ9
Dudu wiped away tears. "Alright, alright—somebody get the binoculars. Let’s see if the bunny actually survives."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIctAt6iPIq
Dudu snatched the binoculars from his crew and scanned the water below.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NTZ0W6NnS
Nothing.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCsQCsfe1u
No splashes, no floating bodies—just the vast, endless sea.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecuZgKH5zK
He smirked, tossing the binoculars over his shoulder. "Welp, sucks for them. Guess they’re gonna drown. HA! Sucks to be them!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9HelMpBWs
The crew burst into cheers.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwdnrD2gPw
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!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4pMgrFSA6
The crew roared.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCWPy47mhj
“YEEEAAAAHHH!!!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiT4hbOUeTP
BOOM!
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIwL2KOhCv
The ship rocketed forward at ridiculous speed, disappearing into the sky like a shooting star.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2YQ8VOx9o
Lilith sank deeper and deeper into the ocean, her long purple ponytail drifting like silk.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWwolhEGgD
Her eyes fluttered as she saw bubbles escaping her lips.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmq5HOFjXyb
(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—)
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1iXI5xBME
SPLASH!
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkc20Fl0st
Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed her, pulling her onto a warm back.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg9vZNIwiN
Eleo kicked furiously toward the surface, holding her up.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ofUlL2zmM
Finally, they burst through the water, gasping for air.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLrBndFikU
WHACK!
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWMWulahxg
Lilith slapped Eleo HARD on the head.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHon2LsbMxG
"YOU ASSHOLE! YOU ALMOST KILLED ME!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXt7wbWIgXl
Eleo rubbed his head. "Ow! What the hell, jerk?! I just saved your life!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiDCC4lLSb
Lilith crossed her arms, shivering. "Maybe I wouldn’t have needed saving if you HAD A PLAN!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tnOnjOUjf
Eleo grinned and clapped his hands together. "Ink Bubble!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbHgCejTBw
A large, floating ink bubble formed around them, lifting them just above the water.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwJXAvHi4q
Eleo wiped his brow. "There! Now we don’t need to swim!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsZNXe8pkI
Lilith narrowed her eyes. "…Why didn’t you do that in the first place?"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo5hA6PD5u
Eleo blinked. "Uh… oh yeah. That would’ve been smart."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfBN8QJk29
Lilith facepalmed.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9hXXHBBeY
Eleo stuck out his hand. "Anyway, I’m Eleo!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rdC0AvDvq
She hesitated before sighing. "Lilith."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2lffGe6YS
Eleo grinned. "Well, Lilith, I’m on my way to… uh… I dunno, really."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPGzhA6ENV
Lilith rolled her eyes. "There’s a town up north from here."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs1PrKCknm
She hesitated, cheeks turning slightly pink. "And… thanks. For saving me."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSGD0jJgQY
Eleo grinned wider. "No problem, Lilith!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MfoWkPYao
He stepped inside the ink bubble, testing its movement.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutkO47lD4n
It floated forward with him.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3zFTl73r8
Eleo threw his fists in the air. "YESS! PERFECT!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp3pYbFAHy
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?"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmlFFLvt4c
She pointed at a small abandoned pirate ship floating nearby.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEJbwtzeXZ
Eleo shrugged. "You can use it if you want. I’ma stick with my ink bubble!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA0lbeyW8L
Lilith groaned. "Are you serious? What kind of idiot prefers an unstable magic bubble over a perfectly fine ship?!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxak8rDKy8s
Eleo nodded proudly. "THIS idiot!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WvgXXpUyy
Lilith sighed, rubbing her temples. "Fine. Then at least swim me over there—I can’t swim."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P2I3lwwMG
Eleo grinned. "Nope!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjJ29Q1u2S
Lilith stared at him. "…Are you serious?"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mvV7ML9u8
Eleo hopped along the water in his ink bubble.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao0IeLC6gw
"La la la~! Ink bubble! Ink bubble! This thing is awesome!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCUf30CLY2
Lilith sat inside the bubble, arms crossed. "I swear, I’m going to kill him."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV0HFfBJ8o
Then—
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiLNjkzuI8
Eleo suddenly froze.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgX5jvw9jz
His eyes widened in horror.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdV9qsM5aN
"OH NO!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJxzsXnDiq
Lilith snapped to attention. "What?! What happened?!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnerAqZpL2
Eleo fell to his knees dramatically. "MY CARROTS! I FORGOT ABOUT THEM!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgCXHY07mK
Lilith stared at him in disbelief.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezbL8Scurs
"…ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS?!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLa0ew9TRNf
Eleo grabbed his ears. "THAT WAS MY ONLY FOOD! HOW AM I GONNA EAT NOW?!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq62gYK5GI0
Lilith let out a long, exhausted sigh.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0wiK6tsFt
She snapped her fingers.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY0i9fB6Aq
POOF!
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnFdDKGwsi
A fresh carrot appeared in her palm.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2qMJoXYwd
Eleo’s eyes sparkled like the sun.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziPmwHnNYj
"LILITH! YOU BEAUTIFUL GENIUS PRINCESS! THANK YOUUUU!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyA018M8ET
He hugged her tightly.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOiyx2N8zM
Lilith stiffened, turning red. "H-Hey! Personal space, idiot!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurtjm5CEnD
Eleo started chomping down the carrot. "Mmmm! So good!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZpAqw5mng
As he ate, he suddenly noticed her horns and tail.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboXPwfcZ7O
"Hey, Lilith, why do you have horns and a tail? Are you like a really hardcore cosplayer or something?"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nY4qcrEED
Lilith exhaled deeply, pinching the bridge of her nose.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQduzn87jD
"…I’m a demon, you moron."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQeYykdUSX
Eleo blinked.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhu5IJSqei
"OH! That makes sense! …Wait, no, it doesn’t. What’s a demon princess doing locked up in a pirate ship?"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLTow55ois
Lilith crossed her arms. "Hmph. None of your business."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Pl56D2lez
Eleo shrugged. "Oh well, at least you’re free now!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK6aCfjV8D
Lilith glanced at him, her expression softening just a little.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofA6GsrH8G
(He’s an idiot… but he did save me.)
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIuot5xUI4
Eleo stood proudly on his ink bubble, chewing his carrot.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3dWuBwsKg
"Alright! Time for adventure!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFl4h2PkSG
After a few hours go by the ink bubble drifted across the calm sea, carrying Eleo and Lilith toward their destination.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeue0azmTR
Lilith crossed her arms, staring ahead. "We should be getting close now."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZOEErwON4
Eleo was lounging inside the bubble, casually munching on another carrot. "Man, I hope this place has food. I’m starving."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpS1mO1mfq0
Lilith sighed. "It’s called Burger Town. What do you think they sell?"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaJWiJsfKc
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!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHorhgRu6b
Lilith facepalmed. "It’s not literally made of burgers, you idiot!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7igGYXFvZ
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—"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSybUsPkOm
BOOM.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQj6vbJLUW
A sudden gust of wind hit them. The scent of smoke and ash filled the air.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUsx9wEIV2
Lilith snapped her head forward, her eyes widening.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdJjHQxNCH
Eleo blinked. "Huh?"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH9UGXieIW
As their ink bubble reached the shore, they finally saw it—
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2EUSnYXpz
Burger Town… completely destroyed.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWx3kZwZDYr
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNxymEIqba
Eleo’s ears drooped. "Uh… I don’t think they’re selling burgers anymore."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiccurLZtoj
Lilith stepped forward, her eyes darting around in disbelief. "No… this can’t be right…"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr8pRIZNpg
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…"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatQHrltDZH
Lilith ignored him. Her hands clenched into fists. "There were people here. Families. Kids." She looked around, her sharp eyes scanning for any survivors.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg9ok4lDSW
Then—
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3Z16KmjAd
CRUNCH.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQrlfidH5D
Eleo stepped on something.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGKjFXJ0XO
He looked down… and froze.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6vFZJYOnA
A shattered Toy bear… covered in blood.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pqriQUVue
Lilith stiffened.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9g3hphXT4
Eleo tilted his head. "Well… that’s probably not good."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNFwn4VMpK
Then—
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a92nBcohE
A weak voice coughed from the rubble.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2MzYziGF7
"H…Help…"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBdKpNDmop
Both Eleo and Lilith snapped their heads toward the sound.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO43xnWku5
A man, bloodied and barely conscious, was trapped under a collapsed wall.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgfLCOE4Uj
Lilith rushed over, kneeling beside him. "Hey! Stay with me!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemmDgUmEkR
The man slowly opened his eyes. "D… Demons… they… attacked…"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcVTe82RQc
Lilith’s stomach dropped. "Demons?!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxW6pnBhLE
The man weakly grabbed her wrist. "They… were looking… for someone…"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5P8hwt3ip
Eleo scratched his head. "Oh? Who?"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjVvT4LhnS
The man’s eyes flickered toward Lilith.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOmWufwebt
Lilith felt a cold chill run down her spine.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmAIoBiOTJ
Eleo raised an eyebrow. "Wait, wait, wait—are you saying those demons destroyed the whole town looking for Lilith?"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxbhVqefIj
The man gave a faint nod before losing consciousness.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQAW0SJsCa
Lilith’s fists clenched.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM0jjpmK75
Eleo grinned. "Ooooh! Does this mean we’re gonna fight some demons?!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFctC0StFb
Lilith deadpanned. "This is NOT a good thing, you idiot!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eVtsX5lOZ
Eleo shrugged. "Still sounds fun!"
