Dudu sprang high into the air like a tightly coiled spring launching loose, his rainbow hair bouncing wildly.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOux42PVIQP
"BOING!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9i0VMUsQG
His leg coiled mid-air like a steel spring, then—
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEI35hAE0q
"SPRING DROP KICK!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInWYqFi1aX
WHAM!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXvWK5MQ8v
Eleo blocked with both arms, skidding backward, his feet scraping the deck. The force nearly launched him off the ship.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh47HB4gR2
Eleo gritted his teeth. "Whoa—! Okay, ow. That kinda hurt."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DK4koHsMd
Meanwhile, the demon girl frantically searched the ship, flipping over barrels and crates.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxrOCO7Jh1
"Ugh! Where the hell is a safe boat when you need one?!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZF6cKgGxt
Dudu landed back on the deck, stretching his shoulders.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPDoaLFAh3
"Hey, Mr. Rat! You gonna help me or what?!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7lJh2Q1ms
Bo’s giant pet rat twitched its nose, then charged at Eleo with blinding speed.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk57Hq7Oasn
SQUEEEEEEK!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYNV8UB5v8
In four seconds…
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEbpkb1eJs
BAM! SMACK! CRUNCH!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8bp718vJm
The rat was already on the ground, dazed, holding up a tiny white flag in surrender.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzXVXJdQTe
The entire crew stared.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSujmXT4HR
Dudu’s jaw dropped. “…You gotta be kidding me.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CIbOsLrqX
The demon girl raised an eyebrow. “Seriously? That fast?”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR11xXiNem
Eleo dusted off his hands. “Huh. Guess I’m stronger than a rat.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh7Tg00vMU
Dudu facepalmed. “…No shit, idiot.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJI5f9Q04Xx
He flopped onto the ship dramatically, groaning.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0pc4BpedU
Eleo cracked his knuckles. "Okay, my turn—INK!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVILi2yuWXV
He clapped his hands together.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwr3zRaZYVn
His arms transformed into a massive black cannon.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpD79aILAF
"INK CANNON!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBmzykhpB9
BOOOOM!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmLBO3eYwz
A huge black ink ball blasted toward Dudu.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJXPFowgqd
Dudu’s eyes widened. "CRAP—!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPNSu288iY
He instantly stretched his legs, making them ridiculously tall to dodge.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr3X7BLrok
The ink cannonball sailed right past him.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiWbdF6JGz
BAM!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuKZmHUYbm
It smashed into the ship's hull instead.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XYEmGd9ET
Dudu’s face went pale. "Ah shit—"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanKESiinp3
The ship shook violently.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7SWquXzte
Dudu blinked. "…Maybe I shoulda just let him hit me."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4ILiBQZ3e
Dudu turned to his crew. "DON’T JUST STAND THERE, YOU LAZY BASTARDS! FIX THE SHIP!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NuRFaqF0b
His crew groaned, rolling on the floor like they’d been mortally wounded.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kZ8B8QquP
"Ughhh, boss… We’re dying over here…"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6b7my5wjn
Dudu squinted. “…YOU ASSHOLES WERE FAKING?!”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYQWqJQfRO
The crew sprang up in perfect sync.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjSCYUOCgZ
"Sorry, boss!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaJ3LrOi9B
Dudu facepalmed again.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA94Srr1dSn
Meanwhile, Eleo bolted toward the ship’s railing.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2HYIGdn4O
“Welp, time to go!”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu78WHLx7F4
He grabbed the demon girl mid-run.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY7hQBOTBO
“Wha—WAIT, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwczhpSBVRe
They both jumped off the flying ship.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P9koq9Zcy
Dudu, BK, Bo, and the entire crew ran to the railing and leaned over, staring down.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bez9de0BW
Silence.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzoWCwKHgb
Bo scratched his head. “…I guess he didn’t wanna die alone?”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FzTOSkGvy
The entire crew turned to look at him.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9aN62SEsj
A beat of silence.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWRyU1IhnJ
Then—
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E8xI6lA7N
They all BURST INTO LAUGHTER.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqrYbnEJ9M
The entire crew collapsed onto the deck, rolling in laughter.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLVnLZurqp
Dudu wiped away tears. "Alright, alright—somebody get the binoculars. Let’s see if the bunny actually survives."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVey5cprpGF
Dudu snatched the binoculars from his crew and scanned the water below.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVIvdg70Vb
Nothing.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHGwsL5fAl
No splashes, no floating bodies—just the vast, endless sea.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77KcS3zSkT
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTlxXe0btN
The crew burst into cheers.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNDzYiCab9
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumwYBKK2aT
The crew roared.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc45of6xqk
“YEEEAAAAHHH!!!”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7NZPxoclr
BOOM!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNV85pb69d
The ship rocketed forward at ridiculous speed, disappearing into the sky like a shooting star.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRkjXs4GNg
Lilith sank deeper and deeper into the ocean, her long purple ponytail drifting like silk.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1cnF3QvWJ
Her eyes fluttered as she saw bubbles escaping her lips.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuIEvx3Rt8
(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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvID7mb4a5o
SPLASH!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D6O0J4wcm
Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed her, pulling her onto a warm back.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNCSyC3OoY
Eleo kicked furiously toward the surface, holding her up.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJnJJP9eVq
Finally, they burst through the water, gasping for air.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRrvhZcil1
WHACK!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSjmT5dn5I
Lilith slapped Eleo HARD on the head.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCKsjMPHam
"YOU ASSHOLE! YOU ALMOST KILLED ME!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfmhUDP8fL
Eleo rubbed his head. "Ow! What the hell, jerk?! I just saved your life!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuzxt4XMcg
Lilith crossed her arms, shivering. "Maybe I wouldn’t have needed saving if you HAD A PLAN!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpjj2hH31R
Eleo grinned and clapped his hands together. "Ink Bubble!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhqVtbdzxi
A large, floating ink bubble formed around them, lifting them just above the water.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkogLT958kB
Eleo wiped his brow. "There! Now we don’t need to swim!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYyLSF8kkF
Lilith narrowed her eyes. "…Why didn’t you do that in the first place?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iewutADI4
Eleo blinked. "Uh… oh yeah. That would’ve been smart."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLRwUkRgiz
Lilith facepalmed.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa9bFaUHGm
Eleo stuck out his hand. "Anyway, I’m Eleo!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiwho80AwY
She hesitated before sighing. "Lilith."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkORWvGZbGW
Eleo grinned. "Well, Lilith, I’m on my way to… uh… I dunno, really."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWBWJemUb3
Lilith rolled her eyes. "There’s a town up north from here."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4WdEeigkV
She hesitated, cheeks turning slightly pink. "And… thanks. For saving me."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd3eXWLf6N
Eleo grinned wider. "No problem, Lilith!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8dIAFRpHo
He stepped inside the ink bubble, testing its movement.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLYWPk5tos
It floated forward with him.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUVvKMzyaC
Eleo threw his fists in the air. "YESS! PERFECT!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW32BL6ocr
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqt8bxVbRS
She pointed at a small abandoned pirate ship floating nearby.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAjWJV5FIf
Eleo shrugged. "You can use it if you want. I’ma stick with my ink bubble!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkHvSk2cL4
Lilith groaned. "Are you serious? What kind of idiot prefers an unstable magic bubble over a perfectly fine ship?!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUOyULPZv3
Eleo nodded proudly. "THIS idiot!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4Cb8XHtdw
Lilith sighed, rubbing her temples. "Fine. Then at least swim me over there—I can’t swim."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAWR9n7LmU
Eleo grinned. "Nope!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5O7cRmAyL
Lilith stared at him. "…Are you serious?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQlNE8lb0l
Eleo hopped along the water in his ink bubble.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvmdUxMs4I
"La la la~! Ink bubble! Ink bubble! This thing is awesome!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNePQFHP8T2
Lilith sat inside the bubble, arms crossed. "I swear, I’m going to kill him."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDC82Y2q5A
Then—
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg5ulcTCqH
Eleo suddenly froze.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZssGBHJEaj
His eyes widened in horror.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzOhahVtl7
"OH NO!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqywrjilo2
Lilith snapped to attention. "What?! What happened?!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmqC4esvoq
Eleo fell to his knees dramatically. "MY CARROTS! I FORGOT ABOUT THEM!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7IY7Jka9i
Lilith stared at him in disbelief.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u0cpwFu4l
"…ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS?!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVyOymxJs8
Eleo grabbed his ears. "THAT WAS MY ONLY FOOD! HOW AM I GONNA EAT NOW?!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATMs9yjqbh
Lilith let out a long, exhausted sigh.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJIwadpn5x
She snapped her fingers.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFpRT5452F
POOF!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevmCo8Q0D2
A fresh carrot appeared in her palm.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHFKU319fv
Eleo’s eyes sparkled like the sun.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQJWlksDNK
"LILITH! YOU BEAUTIFUL GENIUS PRINCESS! THANK YOUUUU!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0IzYzUiyt
He hugged her tightly.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7db01XWhVd
Lilith stiffened, turning red. "H-Hey! Personal space, idiot!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bzGWPoitt
Eleo started chomping down the carrot. "Mmmm! So good!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtNZ5DNvu6
As he ate, he suddenly noticed her horns and tail.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh5mSlW7RU
"Hey, Lilith, why do you have horns and a tail? Are you like a really hardcore cosplayer or something?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk7jt4HDHy
Lilith exhaled deeply, pinching the bridge of her nose.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueeS0gISxs
"…I’m a demon, you moron."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPceVGgdoce
Eleo blinked.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPRZFYTRSM
"OH! That makes sense! …Wait, no, it doesn’t. What’s a demon princess doing locked up in a pirate ship?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMyyJX5Iuq
Lilith crossed her arms. "Hmph. None of your business."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENIRaApkLm
Eleo shrugged. "Oh well, at least you’re free now!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiAYDz3frW
Lilith glanced at him, her expression softening just a little.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJhqD8KQV8
(He’s an idiot… but he did save me.)
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2w0RKZdo2
Eleo stood proudly on his ink bubble, chewing his carrot.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPE4vAp3Ta
"Alright! Time for adventure!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpz5iUFpLT
After a few hours go by the ink bubble drifted across the calm sea, carrying Eleo and Lilith toward their destination.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdSijZwj9M
Lilith crossed her arms, staring ahead. "We should be getting close now."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQXDxDIOag
Eleo was lounging inside the bubble, casually munching on another carrot. "Man, I hope this place has food. I’m starving."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDI8WuTZTd
Lilith sighed. "It’s called Burger Town. What do you think they sell?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasXHui1TrI
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmkooT9fQA
Lilith facepalmed. "It’s not literally made of burgers, you idiot!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJDc9Pyx1d
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UyrgdqOvG
BOOM.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqmQEvcIGQ
A sudden gust of wind hit them. The scent of smoke and ash filled the air.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Yk1pmHrGn
Lilith snapped her head forward, her eyes widening.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJhf5L6zE7
Eleo blinked. "Huh?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2k7cxYNsSO
As their ink bubble reached the shore, they finally saw it—
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjdjy2IVEa
Burger Town… completely destroyed.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sjRKbsyFt
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDoRPKOMnX
Eleo’s ears drooped. "Uh… I don’t think they’re selling burgers anymore."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcqRq0WYjb
Lilith stepped forward, her eyes darting around in disbelief. "No… this can’t be right…"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopLdra94gI
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8yQVRLGVe
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0A59jb677
Then—
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDZOTVO0Oq
CRUNCH.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDuj4AHI5a
Eleo stepped on something.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWWxF0KMJS
He looked down… and froze.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t7VTc0nQl
A shattered Toy bear… covered in blood.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUYEeVMrA3
Lilith stiffened.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9O84kgYMN
Eleo tilted his head. "Well… that’s probably not good."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMMEErvXSd
Then—
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjl62DtF6no
A weak voice coughed from the rubble.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozT5GuOQD1
"H…Help…"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6Wk1542oY
Both Eleo and Lilith snapped their heads toward the sound.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwL5A58nMr
A man, bloodied and barely conscious, was trapped under a collapsed wall.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqGFhEgr8w
Lilith rushed over, kneeling beside him. "Hey! Stay with me!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemZZW5Yo6W
The man slowly opened his eyes. "D… Demons… they… attacked…"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58RH3wtvjO
Lilith’s stomach dropped. "Demons?!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6pjThGpo0
The man weakly grabbed her wrist. "They… were looking… for someone…"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7535EEUw7
Eleo scratched his head. "Oh? Who?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EwE0Gq3Uz
The man’s eyes flickered toward Lilith.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB4FNSzn0N
Lilith felt a cold chill run down her spine.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSWeVzXzfE
Eleo raised an eyebrow. "Wait, wait, wait—are you saying those demons destroyed the whole town looking for Lilith?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAwS6zp1os
The man gave a faint nod before losing consciousness.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7c4g7eNAV
Lilith’s fists clenched.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlki47R1orz
Eleo grinned. "Ooooh! Does this mean we’re gonna fight some demons?!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhDRrToCqh
Lilith deadpanned. "This is NOT a good thing, you idiot!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOlNTmTnwI
Eleo shrugged. "Still sounds fun!"
