Dudu sprang high into the air like a tightly coiled spring launching loose, his rainbow hair bouncing wildly.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhwkL3WK9f
"BOING!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e1gzLVe1E
His leg coiled mid-air like a steel spring, then—
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4UZsGnXRs
"SPRING DROP KICK!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWt8RHz9Hd
WHAM!
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRngXz6Is0s
Eleo blocked with both arms, skidding backward, his feet scraping the deck. The force nearly launched him off the ship.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBUFHt1Ee6
Eleo gritted his teeth. "Whoa—! Okay, ow. That kinda hurt."
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhJJNZ77vU
Meanwhile, the demon girl frantically searched the ship, flipping over barrels and crates.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yIrsC2dL5
"Ugh! Where the hell is a safe boat when you need one?!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11mxBk4aa4
Dudu landed back on the deck, stretching his shoulders.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6zHbvtIgB
"Hey, Mr. Rat! You gonna help me or what?!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM8iopEaUR
Bo’s giant pet rat twitched its nose, then charged at Eleo with blinding speed.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OIgxRdJsH
SQUEEEEEEK!
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QKOAixBMD
In four seconds…
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTtRPS38Me
BAM! SMACK! CRUNCH!
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIKWJIwDyn
The rat was already on the ground, dazed, holding up a tiny white flag in surrender.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡta1n3Ncp3u
The entire crew stared.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0C7iuufaZ
Dudu’s jaw dropped. “…You gotta be kidding me.”
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6raU9nzVg
The demon girl raised an eyebrow. “Seriously? That fast?”
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktrcfgCdSY
Eleo dusted off his hands. “Huh. Guess I’m stronger than a rat.”
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohRdFZb540
Dudu facepalmed. “…No shit, idiot.”
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78lOGrKJW8
He flopped onto the ship dramatically, groaning.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGz0aFgp7HW
Eleo cracked his knuckles. "Okay, my turn—INK!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUczrRH6qdA
He clapped his hands together.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RMvxhKXoF
His arms transformed into a massive black cannon.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCDb0XkVnb
"INK CANNON!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBAorVLf59
BOOOOM!
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnc5dqs4Ka
A huge black ink ball blasted toward Dudu.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwemqEVu0T7
Dudu’s eyes widened. "CRAP—!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXYXGf8Oxu
He instantly stretched his legs, making them ridiculously tall to dodge.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLXhqICOIS
The ink cannonball sailed right past him.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iqchd0ZPM
BAM!
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLKSxqamVE
It smashed into the ship's hull instead.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo0hDpRiYt
Dudu’s face went pale. "Ah shit—"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8KYBGiZ6c
The ship shook violently.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsRj9YmEuj
Dudu blinked. "…Maybe I shoulda just let him hit me."
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO3SvAD8nw
Dudu turned to his crew. "DON’T JUST STAND THERE, YOU LAZY BASTARDS! FIX THE SHIP!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBYMY1AuOY
His crew groaned, rolling on the floor like they’d been mortally wounded.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLrjnlL6kL
"Ughhh, boss… We’re dying over here…"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTKBtuzk0y
Dudu squinted. “…YOU ASSHOLES WERE FAKING?!”
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPctwg6Frt
The crew sprang up in perfect sync.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsj6cw6ZV7
"Sorry, boss!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJSLr3dJLz
Dudu facepalmed again.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECrfDCHdZj
Meanwhile, Eleo bolted toward the ship’s railing.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIkRfAgztR
“Welp, time to go!”
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI0Ipxnjfw
He grabbed the demon girl mid-run.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUhMXNW7mK
“Wha—WAIT, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!”
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh0Hyj0rf9
They both jumped off the flying ship.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wsvHFcqbC
Dudu, BK, Bo, and the entire crew ran to the railing and leaned over, staring down.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkqieayoa8
Silence.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7SBlqKD91
Bo scratched his head. “…I guess he didn’t wanna die alone?”
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFE3OY5gjn
The entire crew turned to look at him.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGhBpLc1YE
A beat of silence.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLTVR6Ot6f
Then—
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZRrqJb0jG
They all BURST INTO LAUGHTER.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi4eueTFJU
The entire crew collapsed onto the deck, rolling in laughter.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5sbR0X7jI
Dudu wiped away tears. "Alright, alright—somebody get the binoculars. Let’s see if the bunny actually survives."
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNhnTzZzOW
Dudu snatched the binoculars from his crew and scanned the water below.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHv4Xnl6UU
Nothing.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaoWPkc7iS
No splashes, no floating bodies—just the vast, endless sea.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgx5UNwy50
He smirked, tossing the binoculars over his shoulder. "Welp, sucks for them. Guess they’re gonna drown. HA! Sucks to be them!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn9hWmavxu
The crew burst into cheers.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9joXOIyEy
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!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRR4V6CZZGI
The crew roared.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHwBmRLhiN
“YEEEAAAAHHH!!!”
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwrr3L4kdX
BOOM!
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn4a6GSB8g
The ship rocketed forward at ridiculous speed, disappearing into the sky like a shooting star.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrEZ43IaJu
Lilith sank deeper and deeper into the ocean, her long purple ponytail drifting like silk.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFxjxEytbz
Her eyes fluttered as she saw bubbles escaping her lips.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCEVmjwTpK
(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—)
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAXYS2Uu9j
SPLASH!
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3p3PPJtDq
Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed her, pulling her onto a warm back.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDs0ku4j7D
Eleo kicked furiously toward the surface, holding her up.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjcf5RNIJA
Finally, they burst through the water, gasping for air.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv27fNlUgR
WHACK!
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZun68vTKs
Lilith slapped Eleo HARD on the head.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISUjajhsoG
"YOU ASSHOLE! YOU ALMOST KILLED ME!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ5UZfRlKS
Eleo rubbed his head. "Ow! What the hell, jerk?! I just saved your life!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpoEn7Vj9p
Lilith crossed her arms, shivering. "Maybe I wouldn’t have needed saving if you HAD A PLAN!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7Ogj6vB1c
Eleo grinned and clapped his hands together. "Ink Bubble!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuoy76j4Kf
A large, floating ink bubble formed around them, lifting them just above the water.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY1oZDAE1u
Eleo wiped his brow. "There! Now we don’t need to swim!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEo9DMfRFM
Lilith narrowed her eyes. "…Why didn’t you do that in the first place?"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7e0t8o6ZH
Eleo blinked. "Uh… oh yeah. That would’ve been smart."
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15c3BYJNsv
Lilith facepalmed.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz1sSqia6r
Eleo stuck out his hand. "Anyway, I’m Eleo!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghvLNOS33p
She hesitated before sighing. "Lilith."
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8GJBohjk8
Eleo grinned. "Well, Lilith, I’m on my way to… uh… I dunno, really."
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwclz6JYIyt
Lilith rolled her eyes. "There’s a town up north from here."
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKQvrLsloX
She hesitated, cheeks turning slightly pink. "And… thanks. For saving me."
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfuIWZznlq
Eleo grinned wider. "No problem, Lilith!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1AOfBIicV
He stepped inside the ink bubble, testing its movement.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1g0QdADCt
It floated forward with him.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTNTLE16jP
Eleo threw his fists in the air. "YESS! PERFECT!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgXKsnoUzd
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?"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72dBwy0oXA
She pointed at a small abandoned pirate ship floating nearby.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhHFeq2Oe9
Eleo shrugged. "You can use it if you want. I’ma stick with my ink bubble!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5ToikZq5H
Lilith groaned. "Are you serious? What kind of idiot prefers an unstable magic bubble over a perfectly fine ship?!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaoShEUrzK
Eleo nodded proudly. "THIS idiot!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeozI40cYB
Lilith sighed, rubbing her temples. "Fine. Then at least swim me over there—I can’t swim."
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZPt9NfUco
Eleo grinned. "Nope!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpB0of5iYy
Lilith stared at him. "…Are you serious?"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf7LvVX5NJ
Eleo hopped along the water in his ink bubble.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR5kFUIPuc
"La la la~! Ink bubble! Ink bubble! This thing is awesome!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVs9rs4qNtW
Lilith sat inside the bubble, arms crossed. "I swear, I’m going to kill him."
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2B40h9CGx
Then—
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17085E1Gbg
Eleo suddenly froze.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG4Zohl4ht
His eyes widened in horror.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAlyb9PY1d
"OH NO!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYW9L5IeQQ
Lilith snapped to attention. "What?! What happened?!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3khmqGKGRm
Eleo fell to his knees dramatically. "MY CARROTS! I FORGOT ABOUT THEM!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigZy8hkT8T
Lilith stared at him in disbelief.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGW3wdzp0A
"…ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS?!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuf62ArgUh
Eleo grabbed his ears. "THAT WAS MY ONLY FOOD! HOW AM I GONNA EAT NOW?!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS92BvzdHTa
Lilith let out a long, exhausted sigh.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKvGGSzHkL
She snapped her fingers.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8sLBPHQgy
POOF!
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5kczkbxru
A fresh carrot appeared in her palm.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAnpENrhxk
Eleo’s eyes sparkled like the sun.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXHT7kYKJJ
"LILITH! YOU BEAUTIFUL GENIUS PRINCESS! THANK YOUUUU!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4gQg4qDvk
He hugged her tightly.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eDt0sr3fV
Lilith stiffened, turning red. "H-Hey! Personal space, idiot!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fCatZFxEb
Eleo started chomping down the carrot. "Mmmm! So good!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeINfElWI39
As he ate, he suddenly noticed her horns and tail.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMLJu7R21w
"Hey, Lilith, why do you have horns and a tail? Are you like a really hardcore cosplayer or something?"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeVZU1V4Cd
Lilith exhaled deeply, pinching the bridge of her nose.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Z8BcAuold
"…I’m a demon, you moron."
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh19jLvOTQo
Eleo blinked.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT6HOc4AMs
"OH! That makes sense! …Wait, no, it doesn’t. What’s a demon princess doing locked up in a pirate ship?"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiCjkzu7RD
Lilith crossed her arms. "Hmph. None of your business."
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TsyVJrYWE
Eleo shrugged. "Oh well, at least you’re free now!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH46AeSlvo
Lilith glanced at him, her expression softening just a little.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnjzassXRI
(He’s an idiot… but he did save me.)
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGzHwA4Wtd
Eleo stood proudly on his ink bubble, chewing his carrot.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRz2Pvx4jJ
"Alright! Time for adventure!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbkXJoY7Cl
After a few hours go by the ink bubble drifted across the calm sea, carrying Eleo and Lilith toward their destination.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXVoLdBoTr
Lilith crossed her arms, staring ahead. "We should be getting close now."
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiXby2ozHy
Eleo was lounging inside the bubble, casually munching on another carrot. "Man, I hope this place has food. I’m starving."
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTfg23dWCj
Lilith sighed. "It’s called Burger Town. What do you think they sell?"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLUgipisPt
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!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhfNPS1aAe
Lilith facepalmed. "It’s not literally made of burgers, you idiot!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg7b3SCm25
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—"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwW2p07L5Q
BOOM.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiHRbY5hvl
A sudden gust of wind hit them. The scent of smoke and ash filled the air.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTBi3c3U8M
Lilith snapped her head forward, her eyes widening.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3gPftwfic
Eleo blinked. "Huh?"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yZQDnfyUw
As their ink bubble reached the shore, they finally saw it—
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaI7MYKi8u
Burger Town… completely destroyed.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xIUnnPLWw
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.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3sPxptfju
Eleo’s ears drooped. "Uh… I don’t think they’re selling burgers anymore."
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZGCUVfFDf
Lilith stepped forward, her eyes darting around in disbelief. "No… this can’t be right…"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIpCtRyHQ0
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…"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9XYaZRXZR
Lilith ignored him. Her hands clenched into fists. "There were people here. Families. Kids." She looked around, her sharp eyes scanning for any survivors.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BPlYV7yDV
Then—
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyHtrl6D3j
CRUNCH.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYCIJO0VyE
Eleo stepped on something.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEMiAskgfh
He looked down… and froze.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCdUZl9V8G
A shattered Toy bear… covered in blood.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BA92FRiDe
Lilith stiffened.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfHMzIWc8b
Eleo tilted his head. "Well… that’s probably not good."
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9znG8tEB8E
Then—
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDsOJbgXCf
A weak voice coughed from the rubble.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoQlhqps3K
"H…Help…"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBB2ENfRek
Both Eleo and Lilith snapped their heads toward the sound.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjalajzJBGT
A man, bloodied and barely conscious, was trapped under a collapsed wall.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHZmgcaAXv
Lilith rushed over, kneeling beside him. "Hey! Stay with me!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiEnhjcoBg
The man slowly opened his eyes. "D… Demons… they… attacked…"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xADe2Rhky
Lilith’s stomach dropped. "Demons?!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc4RTsqNTN
The man weakly grabbed her wrist. "They… were looking… for someone…"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdctZc9lON
Eleo scratched his head. "Oh? Who?"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsamkCNsNCU
The man’s eyes flickered toward Lilith.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsD5VGUyAW
Lilith felt a cold chill run down her spine.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZUY8adFfB
Eleo raised an eyebrow. "Wait, wait, wait—are you saying those demons destroyed the whole town looking for Lilith?"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsm9gSCGwy
The man gave a faint nod before losing consciousness.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNJvRQMZmh
Lilith’s fists clenched.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoCWOq2JR1
Eleo grinned. "Ooooh! Does this mean we’re gonna fight some demons?!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtT82guNaD
Lilith deadpanned. "This is NOT a good thing, you idiot!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdDesiyqBM
Eleo shrugged. "Still sounds fun!"
