Dudu sprang high into the air like a tightly coiled spring launching loose, his rainbow hair bouncing wildly.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAHHesxWl4hU
"BOING!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAOIvXzDbUrh
His leg coiled mid-air like a steel spring, then—
181Please respect copyright.PENANA3esqD2HLwO
"SPRING DROP KICK!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAwJmMbvbegS
WHAM!
181Please respect copyright.PENANAdOwMPwh7Wk
Eleo blocked with both arms, skidding backward, his feet scraping the deck. The force nearly launched him off the ship.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAVBkWZBwNUx
Eleo gritted his teeth. "Whoa—! Okay, ow. That kinda hurt."
181Please respect copyright.PENANAoF92zYBM1q
Meanwhile, the demon girl frantically searched the ship, flipping over barrels and crates.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAWozRZCvQGz
"Ugh! Where the hell is a safe boat when you need one?!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAE56FdZVOdb
Dudu landed back on the deck, stretching his shoulders.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAaeZzLC8ZGC
"Hey, Mr. Rat! You gonna help me or what?!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAWGJQ1Uvw1F
Bo’s giant pet rat twitched its nose, then charged at Eleo with blinding speed.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAfDj4urOwJj
SQUEEEEEEK!
181Please respect copyright.PENANAfhqQ8Ydd2J
In four seconds…
181Please respect copyright.PENANAbbHLY1y0Fz
BAM! SMACK! CRUNCH!
181Please respect copyright.PENANALXaCSSPvSn
The rat was already on the ground, dazed, holding up a tiny white flag in surrender.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAVvSurHRQoc
The entire crew stared.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAx1IJY5NUpe
Dudu’s jaw dropped. “…You gotta be kidding me.”
181Please respect copyright.PENANA3AZT1dCUGq
The demon girl raised an eyebrow. “Seriously? That fast?”
181Please respect copyright.PENANAMtVq17Hsww
Eleo dusted off his hands. “Huh. Guess I’m stronger than a rat.”
181Please respect copyright.PENANA4GA77epZaC
Dudu facepalmed. “…No shit, idiot.”
181Please respect copyright.PENANAsIlP9GGkeg
He flopped onto the ship dramatically, groaning.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAB45umohVqP
Eleo cracked his knuckles. "Okay, my turn—INK!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAVJWVWWoDD5
He clapped his hands together.
181Please respect copyright.PENANApJsmqI8n3p
His arms transformed into a massive black cannon.
181Please respect copyright.PENANA492LyC6PHn
"INK CANNON!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAc3hyVXC4fY
BOOOOM!
181Please respect copyright.PENANANxl6bkgy17
A huge black ink ball blasted toward Dudu.
181Please respect copyright.PENANACE7uvpJI8b
Dudu’s eyes widened. "CRAP—!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAwhQL5DVSCx
He instantly stretched his legs, making them ridiculously tall to dodge.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAcSl1PfSneE
The ink cannonball sailed right past him.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAgRydhmDnEF
BAM!
181Please respect copyright.PENANAjrlsU3su9u
It smashed into the ship's hull instead.
181Please respect copyright.PENANA9A5YvVU2Zy
Dudu’s face went pale. "Ah shit—"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAoPmY3KtnPR
The ship shook violently.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAhiQYIPEeEz
Dudu blinked. "…Maybe I shoulda just let him hit me."
181Please respect copyright.PENANAexEaNNa4Hi
Dudu turned to his crew. "DON’T JUST STAND THERE, YOU LAZY BASTARDS! FIX THE SHIP!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZJFaFVtdd
His crew groaned, rolling on the floor like they’d been mortally wounded.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAfR63R3vY61
"Ughhh, boss… We’re dying over here…"
181Please respect copyright.PENANApKHJejWQTA
Dudu squinted. “…YOU ASSHOLES WERE FAKING?!”
181Please respect copyright.PENANAhPC6zPI2vt
The crew sprang up in perfect sync.
181Please respect copyright.PENANA7VefySdJdt
"Sorry, boss!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANA21Qy31Nj74
Dudu facepalmed again.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAvQvmEiAHMi
Meanwhile, Eleo bolted toward the ship’s railing.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAUE7MYz6zAE
“Welp, time to go!”
181Please respect copyright.PENANAIc085XEUaO
He grabbed the demon girl mid-run.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAa20r3HVKPy
“Wha—WAIT, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!”
181Please respect copyright.PENANAWoriq5Cbzr
They both jumped off the flying ship.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAcs0LNs57JP
Dudu, BK, Bo, and the entire crew ran to the railing and leaned over, staring down.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAUTpqYhuAMA
Silence.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAkUbL9JhXPO
Bo scratched his head. “…I guess he didn’t wanna die alone?”
181Please respect copyright.PENANAGecyQQNrCT
The entire crew turned to look at him.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAq7mIMCINN3
A beat of silence.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAU5U5aOzYae
Then—
181Please respect copyright.PENANAQPLbGMFmMq
They all BURST INTO LAUGHTER.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAqULSnf0VN1
The entire crew collapsed onto the deck, rolling in laughter.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAp00wkSAhDz
Dudu wiped away tears. "Alright, alright—somebody get the binoculars. Let’s see if the bunny actually survives."
181Please respect copyright.PENANACgFtLuJBbZ
Dudu snatched the binoculars from his crew and scanned the water below.
181Please respect copyright.PENANA6JukTG2gbF
Nothing.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAociFHbICvm
No splashes, no floating bodies—just the vast, endless sea.
181Please respect copyright.PENANA2AzgUCebQf
He smirked, tossing the binoculars over his shoulder. "Welp, sucks for them. Guess they’re gonna drown. HA! Sucks to be them!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANA4vxL65nfP7
The crew burst into cheers.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAiFTzbT1NxS
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!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAdRjneVpjDE
The crew roared.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAMjhpJksAQx
“YEEEAAAAHHH!!!”
181Please respect copyright.PENANAiRYoCiKAtk
BOOM!
181Please respect copyright.PENANAbVZChWqsdW
The ship rocketed forward at ridiculous speed, disappearing into the sky like a shooting star.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAq3I7dcbcxX
Lilith sank deeper and deeper into the ocean, her long purple ponytail drifting like silk.
181Please respect copyright.PENANARyM5HoAgDx
Her eyes fluttered as she saw bubbles escaping her lips.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAALqXKs1drl
(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—)
181Please respect copyright.PENANA1uKLgGvzn7
SPLASH!
181Please respect copyright.PENANA3wyq8vN76M
Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed her, pulling her onto a warm back.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAZHGn2Xfi32
Eleo kicked furiously toward the surface, holding her up.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAcSfb5hNmHm
Finally, they burst through the water, gasping for air.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAuSPw4grtM5
WHACK!
181Please respect copyright.PENANA2SQj4HO1wE
Lilith slapped Eleo HARD on the head.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAMKg6dzvaxc
"YOU ASSHOLE! YOU ALMOST KILLED ME!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAg5YqDYQiH4
Eleo rubbed his head. "Ow! What the hell, jerk?! I just saved your life!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAcKz5nyY2T7
Lilith crossed her arms, shivering. "Maybe I wouldn’t have needed saving if you HAD A PLAN!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANARLaG2GdtI2
Eleo grinned and clapped his hands together. "Ink Bubble!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANA4JNJ9Udy7Y
A large, floating ink bubble formed around them, lifting them just above the water.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAlch6x3I3ei
Eleo wiped his brow. "There! Now we don’t need to swim!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAdIj6GULKlC
Lilith narrowed her eyes. "…Why didn’t you do that in the first place?"
181Please respect copyright.PENANA0wL33ztbvD
Eleo blinked. "Uh… oh yeah. That would’ve been smart."
181Please respect copyright.PENANAK6tEfSEir9
Lilith facepalmed.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAFf3wRoqPkg
Eleo stuck out his hand. "Anyway, I’m Eleo!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAeJUaakW7Ei
She hesitated before sighing. "Lilith."
181Please respect copyright.PENANAZeKuJogtEi
Eleo grinned. "Well, Lilith, I’m on my way to… uh… I dunno, really."
181Please respect copyright.PENANAn2CKau8WwA
Lilith rolled her eyes. "There’s a town up north from here."
181Please respect copyright.PENANA8jVvW6Qtvl
She hesitated, cheeks turning slightly pink. "And… thanks. For saving me."
181Please respect copyright.PENANAyx5cVOq7Yr
Eleo grinned wider. "No problem, Lilith!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANASh67lk6ybu
He stepped inside the ink bubble, testing its movement.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAT37SDvrE3m
It floated forward with him.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAOZFDXNuVes
Eleo threw his fists in the air. "YESS! PERFECT!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANANI7Zzrltyb
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?"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAmgoIStkfZ5
She pointed at a small abandoned pirate ship floating nearby.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAvFV3ud4rdL
Eleo shrugged. "You can use it if you want. I’ma stick with my ink bubble!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAnfWferVlvr
Lilith groaned. "Are you serious? What kind of idiot prefers an unstable magic bubble over a perfectly fine ship?!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAIvvcnEpYfV
Eleo nodded proudly. "THIS idiot!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAmD0Q3xww5s
Lilith sighed, rubbing her temples. "Fine. Then at least swim me over there—I can’t swim."
181Please respect copyright.PENANAeX6eEXnNRm
Eleo grinned. "Nope!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAlRcDlVuNKu
Lilith stared at him. "…Are you serious?"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAVfuILo6HOk
Eleo hopped along the water in his ink bubble.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAstNT1RNFYc
"La la la~! Ink bubble! Ink bubble! This thing is awesome!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAV8VWleIvIo
Lilith sat inside the bubble, arms crossed. "I swear, I’m going to kill him."
181Please respect copyright.PENANAFqXrkwT3Mv
Then—
181Please respect copyright.PENANANKiMcIYQc4
Eleo suddenly froze.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAToaffOJ4vT
His eyes widened in horror.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAItj5LRTvr2
"OH NO!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAXyiPkcNXX3
Lilith snapped to attention. "What?! What happened?!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANA1MvryKzFGZ
Eleo fell to his knees dramatically. "MY CARROTS! I FORGOT ABOUT THEM!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAMVNQfoNZFL
Lilith stared at him in disbelief.
181Please respect copyright.PENANA9i82SomDXw
"…ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS?!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANA9eR0nLYvOH
Eleo grabbed his ears. "THAT WAS MY ONLY FOOD! HOW AM I GONNA EAT NOW?!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANATkKl7HxY6l
Lilith let out a long, exhausted sigh.
181Please respect copyright.PENANASQQlyMIQy7
She snapped her fingers.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAqw4JygifWK
POOF!
181Please respect copyright.PENANAnsCoOdDlTa
A fresh carrot appeared in her palm.
181Please respect copyright.PENANA23HsSfxr77
Eleo’s eyes sparkled like the sun.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAFsXMdBvzUA
"LILITH! YOU BEAUTIFUL GENIUS PRINCESS! THANK YOUUUU!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAaVBjvu6gz8
He hugged her tightly.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAVZkx3gcrYo
Lilith stiffened, turning red. "H-Hey! Personal space, idiot!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAncpJNYivmj
Eleo started chomping down the carrot. "Mmmm! So good!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANA1kPyXDFCls
As he ate, he suddenly noticed her horns and tail.
181Please respect copyright.PENANABhX8lb00fr
"Hey, Lilith, why do you have horns and a tail? Are you like a really hardcore cosplayer or something?"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAI2hdHCMgxu
Lilith exhaled deeply, pinching the bridge of her nose.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAIeNqcrI1OG
"…I’m a demon, you moron."
181Please respect copyright.PENANA2Apo3aTjgV
Eleo blinked.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAxkSPO0qWNp
"OH! That makes sense! …Wait, no, it doesn’t. What’s a demon princess doing locked up in a pirate ship?"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAyoe2H2VbnG
Lilith crossed her arms. "Hmph. None of your business."
181Please respect copyright.PENANAjQ5ir83Z4k
Eleo shrugged. "Oh well, at least you’re free now!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANA7AgfXH2p6r
Lilith glanced at him, her expression softening just a little.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAYOGAkbyH2A
(He’s an idiot… but he did save me.)
181Please respect copyright.PENANAYhacKfGw5l
Eleo stood proudly on his ink bubble, chewing his carrot.
181Please respect copyright.PENANA8VFv7b7SVL
"Alright! Time for adventure!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAYK0lX1To2O
After a few hours go by the ink bubble drifted across the calm sea, carrying Eleo and Lilith toward their destination.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAvlzEsgis4O
Lilith crossed her arms, staring ahead. "We should be getting close now."
181Please respect copyright.PENANApjfw1lS27a
Eleo was lounging inside the bubble, casually munching on another carrot. "Man, I hope this place has food. I’m starving."
181Please respect copyright.PENANA5ol6HeehpI
Lilith sighed. "It’s called Burger Town. What do you think they sell?"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAbHV2xYMMwd
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!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAa4OypsreIe
Lilith facepalmed. "It’s not literally made of burgers, you idiot!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAmEeHw4CUz3
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—"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAmaZzur6FmL
BOOM.
181Please respect copyright.PENANApMKFgUHiHv
A sudden gust of wind hit them. The scent of smoke and ash filled the air.
181Please respect copyright.PENANATnfMbNGsQ7
Lilith snapped her head forward, her eyes widening.
181Please respect copyright.PENANASi7Tj4uGku
Eleo blinked. "Huh?"
181Please respect copyright.PENANA2SDocwBo84
As their ink bubble reached the shore, they finally saw it—
181Please respect copyright.PENANAS2Y67jvBk8
Burger Town… completely destroyed.
181Please respect copyright.PENANA5MVnAYyeO1
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.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAXZYgfbsDSQ
Eleo’s ears drooped. "Uh… I don’t think they’re selling burgers anymore."
181Please respect copyright.PENANAF5HztDeaic
Lilith stepped forward, her eyes darting around in disbelief. "No… this can’t be right…"
181Please respect copyright.PENANANZS2BIRL03
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…"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAMlBnomozKj
Lilith ignored him. Her hands clenched into fists. "There were people here. Families. Kids." She looked around, her sharp eyes scanning for any survivors.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAHEDE1mxu21
Then—
181Please respect copyright.PENANApvUbwmcdkZ
CRUNCH.
181Please respect copyright.PENANA7R7qXyIVGy
Eleo stepped on something.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAU5eEbrXPf6
He looked down… and froze.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAaIuC2WHLKS
A shattered Toy bear… covered in blood.
181Please respect copyright.PENANA9CgPQ9Mgus
Lilith stiffened.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAiijpB5Xzq3
Eleo tilted his head. "Well… that’s probably not good."
181Please respect copyright.PENANAfDiLJsGuYc
Then—
181Please respect copyright.PENANA53frJ9VrG8
A weak voice coughed from the rubble.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAz9DAntJs9B
"H…Help…"
181Please respect copyright.PENANABQOjiTnyB1
Both Eleo and Lilith snapped their heads toward the sound.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAYeu291WP7Z
A man, bloodied and barely conscious, was trapped under a collapsed wall.
181Please respect copyright.PENANArOT2BGV9m1
Lilith rushed over, kneeling beside him. "Hey! Stay with me!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAmROSqFIyXN
The man slowly opened his eyes. "D… Demons… they… attacked…"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAYBAufXsqyR
Lilith’s stomach dropped. "Demons?!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAIeICzsF1YB
The man weakly grabbed her wrist. "They… were looking… for someone…"
181Please respect copyright.PENANATQJBRj7ZHE
Eleo scratched his head. "Oh? Who?"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAruP3z37yjd
The man’s eyes flickered toward Lilith.
181Please respect copyright.PENANA1OaPEunZNk
Lilith felt a cold chill run down her spine.
181Please respect copyright.PENANABE6SJsQdwv
Eleo raised an eyebrow. "Wait, wait, wait—are you saying those demons destroyed the whole town looking for Lilith?"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAGXvMfoDUge
The man gave a faint nod before losing consciousness.
181Please respect copyright.PENANA9F3yhGQ6yQ
Lilith’s fists clenched.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAU8QEe5OysR
Eleo grinned. "Ooooh! Does this mean we’re gonna fight some demons?!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAM8Sae9Fn7L
Lilith deadpanned. "This is NOT a good thing, you idiot!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAYr7igVjb2R
Eleo shrugged. "Still sounds fun!"
