Dudu sprang high into the air like a tightly coiled spring launching loose, his rainbow hair bouncing wildly.
158Please respect copyright.PENANARhyQ0SBKDc
"BOING!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANA01EY7gYuB2
His leg coiled mid-air like a steel spring, then—
158Please respect copyright.PENANABkJrljDvMP
"SPRING DROP KICK!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAiUadEqARgi
WHAM!
158Please respect copyright.PENANAqm3XG8sZtD
Eleo blocked with both arms, skidding backward, his feet scraping the deck. The force nearly launched him off the ship.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAYFSrJOK84E
Eleo gritted his teeth. "Whoa—! Okay, ow. That kinda hurt."
158Please respect copyright.PENANA2HQFtuGC28
Meanwhile, the demon girl frantically searched the ship, flipping over barrels and crates.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAlA6IdlzOwU
"Ugh! Where the hell is a safe boat when you need one?!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAff1cIPiwG0
Dudu landed back on the deck, stretching his shoulders.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAJeWEeB2ENt
"Hey, Mr. Rat! You gonna help me or what?!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAAUnwTlQwRM
Bo’s giant pet rat twitched its nose, then charged at Eleo with blinding speed.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA0nl9m6bNdK
SQUEEEEEEK!
158Please respect copyright.PENANAzrTCtD9AoA
In four seconds…
158Please respect copyright.PENANA7U3NXzUa0g
BAM! SMACK! CRUNCH!
158Please respect copyright.PENANAycKRRq3iDq
The rat was already on the ground, dazed, holding up a tiny white flag in surrender.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAX7yQYc6rdI
The entire crew stared.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAt9VohJGc8b
Dudu’s jaw dropped. “…You gotta be kidding me.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAztftd4bU4o
The demon girl raised an eyebrow. “Seriously? That fast?”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAsdBgGF3iC4
Eleo dusted off his hands. “Huh. Guess I’m stronger than a rat.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAtlZP7k6xL9
Dudu facepalmed. “…No shit, idiot.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANADUtC9dWz7g
He flopped onto the ship dramatically, groaning.
158Please respect copyright.PENANArlAOfG7QeR
Eleo cracked his knuckles. "Okay, my turn—INK!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAVewCR93dkM
He clapped his hands together.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAiv2jYRB96r
His arms transformed into a massive black cannon.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAh3aBg5FKhO
"INK CANNON!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAUM2d7fE2Ov
BOOOOM!
158Please respect copyright.PENANAY50C9r9ymo
A huge black ink ball blasted toward Dudu.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAkr6M53nbGf
Dudu’s eyes widened. "CRAP—!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAoVfrKS7oL2
He instantly stretched his legs, making them ridiculously tall to dodge.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA7XVfYO9PIZ
The ink cannonball sailed right past him.
158Please respect copyright.PENANApFAGjV52oY
BAM!
158Please respect copyright.PENANAFyQjn9mFgV
It smashed into the ship's hull instead.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAAxXsDlsQ26
Dudu’s face went pale. "Ah shit—"
158Please respect copyright.PENANA4p2vFHEEXO
The ship shook violently.
158Please respect copyright.PENANApIzHYArWVe
Dudu blinked. "…Maybe I shoulda just let him hit me."
158Please respect copyright.PENANALOML1GZkZc
Dudu turned to his crew. "DON’T JUST STAND THERE, YOU LAZY BASTARDS! FIX THE SHIP!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAcD8RCTxAH1
His crew groaned, rolling on the floor like they’d been mortally wounded.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAIgmfpQ3znE
"Ughhh, boss… We’re dying over here…"
158Please respect copyright.PENANACJt4YSfOKc
Dudu squinted. “…YOU ASSHOLES WERE FAKING?!”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8DinyvRqg
The crew sprang up in perfect sync.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAKxXPMwdA6N
"Sorry, boss!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAvzP0rS310o
Dudu facepalmed again.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAVqyhbgAEFU
Meanwhile, Eleo bolted toward the ship’s railing.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAOBG71WPiMw
“Welp, time to go!”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAzVzL0PRuek
He grabbed the demon girl mid-run.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAtBpCxhTRdY
“Wha—WAIT, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAQWK8pPWXP8
They both jumped off the flying ship.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAYJGgdaajT3
Dudu, BK, Bo, and the entire crew ran to the railing and leaned over, staring down.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAR83cnWqZli
Silence.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAQAaFHlOVoX
Bo scratched his head. “…I guess he didn’t wanna die alone?”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAQwNYiaeLYY
The entire crew turned to look at him.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAp9ows2n1tU
A beat of silence.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAQCyz797GJr
Then—
158Please respect copyright.PENANA6siZLpnXBt
They all BURST INTO LAUGHTER.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAWXpVgj6TyG
The entire crew collapsed onto the deck, rolling in laughter.
158Please respect copyright.PENANACmFnJWRn6j
Dudu wiped away tears. "Alright, alright—somebody get the binoculars. Let’s see if the bunny actually survives."
158Please respect copyright.PENANAJSRbXhhdOZ
Dudu snatched the binoculars from his crew and scanned the water below.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA7Iwqpph79M
Nothing.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAzHHCPdiMSc
No splashes, no floating bodies—just the vast, endless sea.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAQOz1e2lbDq
He smirked, tossing the binoculars over his shoulder. "Welp, sucks for them. Guess they’re gonna drown. HA! Sucks to be them!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAbRacXX5uYq
The crew burst into cheers.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA0sNFZSXAHT
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!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAEXzPDEDZXR
The crew roared.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAkcELMDM3ZG
“YEEEAAAAHHH!!!”
158Please respect copyright.PENANALBuVElCUBr
BOOM!
158Please respect copyright.PENANAa3RPCGpOdx
The ship rocketed forward at ridiculous speed, disappearing into the sky like a shooting star.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAakp6TtUg9y
Lilith sank deeper and deeper into the ocean, her long purple ponytail drifting like silk.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAbC91VWzBJA
Her eyes fluttered as she saw bubbles escaping her lips.
158Please respect copyright.PENANALszBZcvk1l
(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—)
158Please respect copyright.PENANAHSdZUQrxZ0
SPLASH!
158Please respect copyright.PENANAJyRwJ45Jfp
Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed her, pulling her onto a warm back.
158Please respect copyright.PENANANTLRNZmOBZ
Eleo kicked furiously toward the surface, holding her up.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAmSqjpBVwMI
Finally, they burst through the water, gasping for air.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAYeWb5Oyq67
WHACK!
158Please respect copyright.PENANAvWbCoXGV7P
Lilith slapped Eleo HARD on the head.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAA5km6qscqN
"YOU ASSHOLE! YOU ALMOST KILLED ME!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANACDNvqfIAm9
Eleo rubbed his head. "Ow! What the hell, jerk?! I just saved your life!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAcCiuKDcL1m
Lilith crossed her arms, shivering. "Maybe I wouldn’t have needed saving if you HAD A PLAN!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAJWjQnQOiZk
Eleo grinned and clapped his hands together. "Ink Bubble!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANA9OobEkcfw5
A large, floating ink bubble formed around them, lifting them just above the water.
158Please respect copyright.PENANArzWfmrPggT
Eleo wiped his brow. "There! Now we don’t need to swim!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAdvQ4vueJBu
Lilith narrowed her eyes. "…Why didn’t you do that in the first place?"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAguudn8xuOD
Eleo blinked. "Uh… oh yeah. That would’ve been smart."
158Please respect copyright.PENANAHeFfuBivbv
Lilith facepalmed.
158Please respect copyright.PENANATX8ORKXxHz
Eleo stuck out his hand. "Anyway, I’m Eleo!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANA48f3C9vqf4
She hesitated before sighing. "Lilith."
158Please respect copyright.PENANAGvwaozuHM5
Eleo grinned. "Well, Lilith, I’m on my way to… uh… I dunno, really."
158Please respect copyright.PENANAV6TjVR1Fkc
Lilith rolled her eyes. "There’s a town up north from here."
158Please respect copyright.PENANA6dblIa7xlt
She hesitated, cheeks turning slightly pink. "And… thanks. For saving me."
158Please respect copyright.PENANAyeq9kKMRWv
Eleo grinned wider. "No problem, Lilith!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAonClSUjwHj
He stepped inside the ink bubble, testing its movement.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA6LeAXyLWap
It floated forward with him.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAFj64QMKqMn
Eleo threw his fists in the air. "YESS! PERFECT!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAnvhGrRkf1m
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?"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAhahdTYUMgp
She pointed at a small abandoned pirate ship floating nearby.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA0Lw9Cxej35
Eleo shrugged. "You can use it if you want. I’ma stick with my ink bubble!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAVHhwDGYIdL
Lilith groaned. "Are you serious? What kind of idiot prefers an unstable magic bubble over a perfectly fine ship?!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANATEba5o3gli
Eleo nodded proudly. "THIS idiot!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZmHGIx8nd
Lilith sighed, rubbing her temples. "Fine. Then at least swim me over there—I can’t swim."
158Please respect copyright.PENANAydBjktdZ8G
Eleo grinned. "Nope!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAhh6zICNtEM
Lilith stared at him. "…Are you serious?"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAeKFcsecdoO
Eleo hopped along the water in his ink bubble.
158Please respect copyright.PENANApcRq5TMoBf
"La la la~! Ink bubble! Ink bubble! This thing is awesome!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAJVtDHwjS7B
Lilith sat inside the bubble, arms crossed. "I swear, I’m going to kill him."
158Please respect copyright.PENANA9l94JU2OMH
Then—
158Please respect copyright.PENANASdjGkAAwLE
Eleo suddenly froze.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA0AJUscJEbb
His eyes widened in horror.
158Please respect copyright.PENANALEq5WeqkIy
"OH NO!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAP1ysR6YcQJ
Lilith snapped to attention. "What?! What happened?!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANARpmW14sH6a
Eleo fell to his knees dramatically. "MY CARROTS! I FORGOT ABOUT THEM!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAOWGnqpKW8o
Lilith stared at him in disbelief.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAbqF2T77K5o
"…ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS?!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAJx3P1bkCIN
Eleo grabbed his ears. "THAT WAS MY ONLY FOOD! HOW AM I GONNA EAT NOW?!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAPfYxL2CM75
Lilith let out a long, exhausted sigh.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAUeD0JZWJZg
She snapped her fingers.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAs8XIFTf0ok
POOF!
158Please respect copyright.PENANAIiE1BHE4Fy
A fresh carrot appeared in her palm.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA985kVNd8PH
Eleo’s eyes sparkled like the sun.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAKzpoHsrNj4
"LILITH! YOU BEAUTIFUL GENIUS PRINCESS! THANK YOUUUU!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANATMjM91Y7Wv
He hugged her tightly.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA2Qde8zWfCV
Lilith stiffened, turning red. "H-Hey! Personal space, idiot!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAtEKVT9DyCs
Eleo started chomping down the carrot. "Mmmm! So good!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANA8O1l8N9N7u
As he ate, he suddenly noticed her horns and tail.
158Please respect copyright.PENANATCGfnveXMe
"Hey, Lilith, why do you have horns and a tail? Are you like a really hardcore cosplayer or something?"
158Please respect copyright.PENANA1cDZWbsLP4
Lilith exhaled deeply, pinching the bridge of her nose.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAjMpDq8Wn1P
"…I’m a demon, you moron."
158Please respect copyright.PENANAoMponKEVUR
Eleo blinked.
158Please respect copyright.PENANANA5D00AWaZ
"OH! That makes sense! …Wait, no, it doesn’t. What’s a demon princess doing locked up in a pirate ship?"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAgOcqZ6uMCO
Lilith crossed her arms. "Hmph. None of your business."
158Please respect copyright.PENANAbUoHHpBGZQ
Eleo shrugged. "Oh well, at least you’re free now!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAYlGVjE34fK
Lilith glanced at him, her expression softening just a little.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA85hkIP2PHL
(He’s an idiot… but he did save me.)
158Please respect copyright.PENANATCKbvdiN8o
Eleo stood proudly on his ink bubble, chewing his carrot.
158Please respect copyright.PENANASEYHGpZQx4
"Alright! Time for adventure!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAiHzJQqIhPH
After a few hours go by the ink bubble drifted across the calm sea, carrying Eleo and Lilith toward their destination.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA1XwrDiamIj
Lilith crossed her arms, staring ahead. "We should be getting close now."
158Please respect copyright.PENANAlHXseHW9sV
Eleo was lounging inside the bubble, casually munching on another carrot. "Man, I hope this place has food. I’m starving."
158Please respect copyright.PENANA2MqX4RwvVr
Lilith sighed. "It’s called Burger Town. What do you think they sell?"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAbhFjHNfiav
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!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAWhh5v1nene
Lilith facepalmed. "It’s not literally made of burgers, you idiot!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANALzbyIGpOQx
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—"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAjh9hhav1Kc
BOOM.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA29xRpZyD6a
A sudden gust of wind hit them. The scent of smoke and ash filled the air.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAXpTqKa89u3
Lilith snapped her head forward, her eyes widening.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAxlNBe2pj4h
Eleo blinked. "Huh?"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAKznqz63lqp
As their ink bubble reached the shore, they finally saw it—
158Please respect copyright.PENANAODJxkSGb8a
Burger Town… completely destroyed.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAMrUoeeEIlE
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAYrlCXTwxFV
Eleo’s ears drooped. "Uh… I don’t think they’re selling burgers anymore."
158Please respect copyright.PENANA2sKdP33JmK
Lilith stepped forward, her eyes darting around in disbelief. "No… this can’t be right…"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAIjedEdjgab
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…"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAEMGVWGRu1k
Lilith ignored him. Her hands clenched into fists. "There were people here. Families. Kids." She looked around, her sharp eyes scanning for any survivors.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAIAjHCoDyG8
Then—
158Please respect copyright.PENANAHqy5BcwxBV
CRUNCH.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAsaOI8jzaCc
Eleo stepped on something.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA8gn1Z0xI0c
He looked down… and froze.
158Please respect copyright.PENANADusQ7YkqUy
A shattered Toy bear… covered in blood.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAqHgzZemsmO
Lilith stiffened.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAofWS9BOq65
Eleo tilted his head. "Well… that’s probably not good."
158Please respect copyright.PENANAw3xRZOTl6h
Then—
158Please respect copyright.PENANA4h6t7W2QPd
A weak voice coughed from the rubble.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAeOt4ebMwZt
"H…Help…"
158Please respect copyright.PENANADfT49BZ7Iy
Both Eleo and Lilith snapped their heads toward the sound.
158Please respect copyright.PENANANnoEZ74QXG
A man, bloodied and barely conscious, was trapped under a collapsed wall.
158Please respect copyright.PENANATxHtHSuV7F
Lilith rushed over, kneeling beside him. "Hey! Stay with me!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAqfvTOu8dX9
The man slowly opened his eyes. "D… Demons… they… attacked…"
158Please respect copyright.PENANA2U71mWYdgj
Lilith’s stomach dropped. "Demons?!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANARAjGg1y7Dz
The man weakly grabbed her wrist. "They… were looking… for someone…"
158Please respect copyright.PENANA6B08wiujQP
Eleo scratched his head. "Oh? Who?"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAYxpgGqkkFV
The man’s eyes flickered toward Lilith.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAiJJoPWzPVX
Lilith felt a cold chill run down her spine.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA3PXJBtB8Ew
Eleo raised an eyebrow. "Wait, wait, wait—are you saying those demons destroyed the whole town looking for Lilith?"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAtWFJyaJbZn
The man gave a faint nod before losing consciousness.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA5dzdZcM0V5
Lilith’s fists clenched.
158Please respect copyright.PENANABn5Lp17Od7
Eleo grinned. "Ooooh! Does this mean we’re gonna fight some demons?!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAwdc8zaTN2a
Lilith deadpanned. "This is NOT a good thing, you idiot!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANA7ajm1B4vqt
Eleo shrugged. "Still sounds fun!"
ns216.73.216.224da2
