Dudu sprang high into the air like a tightly coiled spring launching loose, his rainbow hair bouncing wildly.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6dBrEIsfK
"BOING!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVnSyvq7MY
His leg coiled mid-air like a steel spring, then—
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9pWU98Zh5
"SPRING DROP KICK!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVjP5QqnYn
WHAM!
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yTaV6pwac
Eleo blocked with both arms, skidding backward, his feet scraping the deck. The force nearly launched him off the ship.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVAcoI7U56
Eleo gritted his teeth. "Whoa—! Okay, ow. That kinda hurt."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxrnBYCLf8
Meanwhile, the demon girl frantically searched the ship, flipping over barrels and crates.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY9OWNU8io
"Ugh! Where the hell is a safe boat when you need one?!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhxPySkuN3
Dudu landed back on the deck, stretching his shoulders.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7JtL5Brfp
"Hey, Mr. Rat! You gonna help me or what?!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdVqzjLzAS
Bo’s giant pet rat twitched its nose, then charged at Eleo with blinding speed.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKk9iKYktZT
SQUEEEEEEK!
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLMRa2rIG8
In four seconds…
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVAvc9PzOD
BAM! SMACK! CRUNCH!
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHAXo0SLhS
The rat was already on the ground, dazed, holding up a tiny white flag in surrender.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn2Jy0qZbY
The entire crew stared.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDTtUl7ugF
Dudu’s jaw dropped. “…You gotta be kidding me.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo22ZAhhdR
The demon girl raised an eyebrow. “Seriously? That fast?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiL0mE7M0c
Eleo dusted off his hands. “Huh. Guess I’m stronger than a rat.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLAC4oPENZ
Dudu facepalmed. “…No shit, idiot.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkUk8JSgGz
He flopped onto the ship dramatically, groaning.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvjQMMOwl6
Eleo cracked his knuckles. "Okay, my turn—INK!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HWHhUDdTj
He clapped his hands together.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwePatGev8
His arms transformed into a massive black cannon.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QhVxsUtPE
"INK CANNON!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxJUMKXJMA
BOOOOM!
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6go6b8GnHG
A huge black ink ball blasted toward Dudu.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfcbED10Oa
Dudu’s eyes widened. "CRAP—!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73a4cakaoA
He instantly stretched his legs, making them ridiculously tall to dodge.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR955FzIgPE
The ink cannonball sailed right past him.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAyuuXy98S
BAM!
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeiwmVy87J
It smashed into the ship's hull instead.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2mKW6bRlz
Dudu’s face went pale. "Ah shit—"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc6YSas3JS
The ship shook violently.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYIRuFdFQx
Dudu blinked. "…Maybe I shoulda just let him hit me."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqtuGogLkd
Dudu turned to his crew. "DON’T JUST STAND THERE, YOU LAZY BASTARDS! FIX THE SHIP!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UdTEf9UrQ
His crew groaned, rolling on the floor like they’d been mortally wounded.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMwZ3fNw57
"Ughhh, boss… We’re dying over here…"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpdYFe2Ufu
Dudu squinted. “…YOU ASSHOLES WERE FAKING?!”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46Kd5ZaKQi
The crew sprang up in perfect sync.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF0392iP9s
"Sorry, boss!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsRmGcfRfi
Dudu facepalmed again.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlZ1K7tPCl
Meanwhile, Eleo bolted toward the ship’s railing.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ313riYWzdN
“Welp, time to go!”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNmLwCJRFf
He grabbed the demon girl mid-run.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWj3tcYJEF
“Wha—WAIT, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC75R8mxvK0
They both jumped off the flying ship.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOQeKaj5OU
Dudu, BK, Bo, and the entire crew ran to the railing and leaned over, staring down.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcDHUZGOxM
Silence.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq3bkZF20B
Bo scratched his head. “…I guess he didn’t wanna die alone?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ibk84GWph
The entire crew turned to look at him.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRx30LAE51
A beat of silence.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTJ5VAfXuC
Then—
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr3OTtpyGk
They all BURST INTO LAUGHTER.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0ZMjsBaIz
The entire crew collapsed onto the deck, rolling in laughter.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3KHhJQ76s
Dudu wiped away tears. "Alright, alright—somebody get the binoculars. Let’s see if the bunny actually survives."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSNn7TPW7I
Dudu snatched the binoculars from his crew and scanned the water below.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uPu9OvLhB
Nothing.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxzW2eNu9g
No splashes, no floating bodies—just the vast, endless sea.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SsJ2qJ4AW
He smirked, tossing the binoculars over his shoulder. "Welp, sucks for them. Guess they’re gonna drown. HA! Sucks to be them!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwIeGKSvu3
The crew burst into cheers.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYXUygJhi1
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!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgVdkikrYz
The crew roared.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurfKW6sJZK
“YEEEAAAAHHH!!!”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4bm7lUlKW
BOOM!
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktc8JVg3pq
The ship rocketed forward at ridiculous speed, disappearing into the sky like a shooting star.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLKf1rdSQV
Lilith sank deeper and deeper into the ocean, her long purple ponytail drifting like silk.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpsRlAb9QE
Her eyes fluttered as she saw bubbles escaping her lips.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHqnSwWNoT
(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—)
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsj3IxiTHR
SPLASH!
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVwpUu8naW
Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed her, pulling her onto a warm back.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazbjEMqCta
Eleo kicked furiously toward the surface, holding her up.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPoKnuhxhp
Finally, they burst through the water, gasping for air.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWScAZItJ1a
WHACK!
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVYfPxzzRx
Lilith slapped Eleo HARD on the head.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r2RqiwaZN
"YOU ASSHOLE! YOU ALMOST KILLED ME!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiqfELKOzf
Eleo rubbed his head. "Ow! What the hell, jerk?! I just saved your life!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jpdPGWg0W
Lilith crossed her arms, shivering. "Maybe I wouldn’t have needed saving if you HAD A PLAN!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3M2yvdGYi
Eleo grinned and clapped his hands together. "Ink Bubble!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhUD6fBrG3
A large, floating ink bubble formed around them, lifting them just above the water.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsqIMqDBEw
Eleo wiped his brow. "There! Now we don’t need to swim!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQz380dERp
Lilith narrowed her eyes. "…Why didn’t you do that in the first place?"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3YWqrf0Rc
Eleo blinked. "Uh… oh yeah. That would’ve been smart."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlF1UJZp26
Lilith facepalmed.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSs9LiSp7a
Eleo stuck out his hand. "Anyway, I’m Eleo!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdzWuwb2M2
She hesitated before sighing. "Lilith."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAyMZReZkI
Eleo grinned. "Well, Lilith, I’m on my way to… uh… I dunno, really."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6P36qZHKd
Lilith rolled her eyes. "There’s a town up north from here."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizcPshEmnZ
She hesitated, cheeks turning slightly pink. "And… thanks. For saving me."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKhFv3NU0U
Eleo grinned wider. "No problem, Lilith!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEuEs84dTM
He stepped inside the ink bubble, testing its movement.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOcMchw3rk
It floated forward with him.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwJYSST1Q7
Eleo threw his fists in the air. "YESS! PERFECT!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ803XmTnzJ2
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?"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLLk6BhdBB
She pointed at a small abandoned pirate ship floating nearby.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidHEJQmobD
Eleo shrugged. "You can use it if you want. I’ma stick with my ink bubble!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR15lgrSXR
Lilith groaned. "Are you serious? What kind of idiot prefers an unstable magic bubble over a perfectly fine ship?!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4YdvSCVNe
Eleo nodded proudly. "THIS idiot!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgh0fxs8b5U
Lilith sighed, rubbing her temples. "Fine. Then at least swim me over there—I can’t swim."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxNuH2vVXl
Eleo grinned. "Nope!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIrBn4DVfP
Lilith stared at him. "…Are you serious?"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ51G1e83ME
Eleo hopped along the water in his ink bubble.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7GfXVpc0B
"La la la~! Ink bubble! Ink bubble! This thing is awesome!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKr3vhV4Sv
Lilith sat inside the bubble, arms crossed. "I swear, I’m going to kill him."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgLAmq0kWs
Then—
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU1IX3y8HV
Eleo suddenly froze.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagS9k2wdqY
His eyes widened in horror.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPwLHEkN3E
"OH NO!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkzthi16kT
Lilith snapped to attention. "What?! What happened?!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJ95eVLL7D
Eleo fell to his knees dramatically. "MY CARROTS! I FORGOT ABOUT THEM!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8sRU7EJdL
Lilith stared at him in disbelief.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQihEkSVGl4
"…ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS?!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05TqYRkGc6
Eleo grabbed his ears. "THAT WAS MY ONLY FOOD! HOW AM I GONNA EAT NOW?!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKK5r0hS3u5
Lilith let out a long, exhausted sigh.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPnOTAVuMC
She snapped her fingers.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JpUdp5yX2
POOF!
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin5eIKyIeF
A fresh carrot appeared in her palm.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvxg4qIyAU
Eleo’s eyes sparkled like the sun.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmKzT8UeiN
"LILITH! YOU BEAUTIFUL GENIUS PRINCESS! THANK YOUUUU!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA0hgUKNwy
He hugged her tightly.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqZX8bmKE5
Lilith stiffened, turning red. "H-Hey! Personal space, idiot!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYwRqAnwIC
Eleo started chomping down the carrot. "Mmmm! So good!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvxfK2u5FV
As he ate, he suddenly noticed her horns and tail.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKrwFAloFy
"Hey, Lilith, why do you have horns and a tail? Are you like a really hardcore cosplayer or something?"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NBNAwIiNb
Lilith exhaled deeply, pinching the bridge of her nose.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxWL31fvww
"…I’m a demon, you moron."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5wA7XGn5O
Eleo blinked.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20UuD8NYfK
"OH! That makes sense! …Wait, no, it doesn’t. What’s a demon princess doing locked up in a pirate ship?"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42dTI9Elml
Lilith crossed her arms. "Hmph. None of your business."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqV8tbIUcw
Eleo shrugged. "Oh well, at least you’re free now!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbxtX0zs1K
Lilith glanced at him, her expression softening just a little.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApPaN460q3
(He’s an idiot… but he did save me.)
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFHNz50mF1
Eleo stood proudly on his ink bubble, chewing his carrot.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRnQXdnRI4
"Alright! Time for adventure!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgrdGvDmGi
After a few hours go by the ink bubble drifted across the calm sea, carrying Eleo and Lilith toward their destination.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQP9eJrrxW
Lilith crossed her arms, staring ahead. "We should be getting close now."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVybsAMFeDc
Eleo was lounging inside the bubble, casually munching on another carrot. "Man, I hope this place has food. I’m starving."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4r8wHdghP
Lilith sighed. "It’s called Burger Town. What do you think they sell?"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI0RsDtkHW
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!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaln4NRrNcQ
Lilith facepalmed. "It’s not literally made of burgers, you idiot!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDRRioubHm
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—"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhx6Xqyt0a2
BOOM.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhVZUlMQTz
A sudden gust of wind hit them. The scent of smoke and ash filled the air.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03vTb7nKX5
Lilith snapped her head forward, her eyes widening.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAtGlLbxj2
Eleo blinked. "Huh?"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRecv5WHMN
As their ink bubble reached the shore, they finally saw it—
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7c0m1FRSC
Burger Town… completely destroyed.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k4XtQhTdJ
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61bpJaIImr
Eleo’s ears drooped. "Uh… I don’t think they’re selling burgers anymore."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBICXwGX12V
Lilith stepped forward, her eyes darting around in disbelief. "No… this can’t be right…"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5i52KPhfb
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…"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgAkIRGlXa
Lilith ignored him. Her hands clenched into fists. "There were people here. Families. Kids." She looked around, her sharp eyes scanning for any survivors.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqsJha3Wlr
Then—
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZoUw9LLlO
CRUNCH.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdY0tgeHt2
Eleo stepped on something.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGOcsDQSt6
He looked down… and froze.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInOFGl9FLe
A shattered Toy bear… covered in blood.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7uNUsBRcA
Lilith stiffened.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBDo5RdKNj
Eleo tilted his head. "Well… that’s probably not good."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3quXZ5vlY
Then—
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N5svdlzrd
A weak voice coughed from the rubble.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov8fO6sD5v
"H…Help…"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEVOgxvil1
Both Eleo and Lilith snapped their heads toward the sound.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBaHMUBTUs
A man, bloodied and barely conscious, was trapped under a collapsed wall.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbrqUwOF9O
Lilith rushed over, kneeling beside him. "Hey! Stay with me!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhZzCoE54i
The man slowly opened his eyes. "D… Demons… they… attacked…"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztXDAypjmC
Lilith’s stomach dropped. "Demons?!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahzj79bum7
The man weakly grabbed her wrist. "They… were looking… for someone…"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWPQqY79MW
Eleo scratched his head. "Oh? Who?"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuTxvkEVMB
The man’s eyes flickered toward Lilith.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdQyjD0Iem
Lilith felt a cold chill run down her spine.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkoLF087s3
Eleo raised an eyebrow. "Wait, wait, wait—are you saying those demons destroyed the whole town looking for Lilith?"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqahqUJQ4MN
The man gave a faint nod before losing consciousness.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeyfUQiqUQ
Lilith’s fists clenched.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCIvfRRXmB
Eleo grinned. "Ooooh! Does this mean we’re gonna fight some demons?!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32e2gT4YDh
Lilith deadpanned. "This is NOT a good thing, you idiot!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAEfY1exNC
Eleo shrugged. "Still sounds fun!"
