Dudu sprang high into the air like a tightly coiled spring launching loose, his rainbow hair bouncing wildly.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAPayGzMWCwa
"BOING!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAuvoXEfhHDd
His leg coiled mid-air like a steel spring, then—
36Please respect copyright.PENANAl2msRoRbm9
"SPRING DROP KICK!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAwg2yJeklFN
WHAM!
36Please respect copyright.PENANAQOESTMvnUS
Eleo blocked with both arms, skidding backward, his feet scraping the deck. The force nearly launched him off the ship.
36Please respect copyright.PENANALE2sXlOiBU
Eleo gritted his teeth. "Whoa—! Okay, ow. That kinda hurt."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAvcV8l9cmpM
Meanwhile, the demon girl frantically searched the ship, flipping over barrels and crates.
36Please respect copyright.PENANA6rZJtaJeCN
"Ugh! Where the hell is a safe boat when you need one?!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANA1E4QZ70shV
Dudu landed back on the deck, stretching his shoulders.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAJzVEvOAGi2
"Hey, Mr. Rat! You gonna help me or what?!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANA4cwtoSQLV2
Bo’s giant pet rat twitched its nose, then charged at Eleo with blinding speed.
36Please respect copyright.PENANABEZxfYQFds
SQUEEEEEEK!
36Please respect copyright.PENANAmadzpkIfkH
In four seconds…
36Please respect copyright.PENANAsq95XdA4tZ
BAM! SMACK! CRUNCH!
36Please respect copyright.PENANApvRrFFdqkx
The rat was already on the ground, dazed, holding up a tiny white flag in surrender.
36Please respect copyright.PENANATCot4EMuW9
The entire crew stared.
36Please respect copyright.PENANANkv5LreIwk
Dudu’s jaw dropped. “…You gotta be kidding me.”
36Please respect copyright.PENANAL3VbpUdAfw
The demon girl raised an eyebrow. “Seriously? That fast?”
36Please respect copyright.PENANAnJajELAcIN
Eleo dusted off his hands. “Huh. Guess I’m stronger than a rat.”
36Please respect copyright.PENANApIMpZlKMUk
Dudu facepalmed. “…No shit, idiot.”
36Please respect copyright.PENANAOYTWOh3Fex
He flopped onto the ship dramatically, groaning.
36Please respect copyright.PENANALIVM0mrZaR
Eleo cracked his knuckles. "Okay, my turn—INK!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6g3tXUjyX
He clapped his hands together.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAu607x9BToV
His arms transformed into a massive black cannon.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAIUWBzI7DpL
"INK CANNON!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAQnsxhcCHiL
BOOOOM!
36Please respect copyright.PENANAtHhAGq313B
A huge black ink ball blasted toward Dudu.
36Please respect copyright.PENANA7oXVgi9hBm
Dudu’s eyes widened. "CRAP—!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANA9zfyHIxYgY
He instantly stretched his legs, making them ridiculously tall to dodge.
36Please respect copyright.PENANA0ABkbSrOzQ
The ink cannonball sailed right past him.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAR5TNRVnc8z
BAM!
36Please respect copyright.PENANA7WhVqEa6LN
It smashed into the ship's hull instead.
36Please respect copyright.PENANA9yYO5sIpCq
Dudu’s face went pale. "Ah shit—"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAdnMBu8j8tY
The ship shook violently.
36Please respect copyright.PENANANpuXBqsks6
Dudu blinked. "…Maybe I shoulda just let him hit me."
36Please respect copyright.PENANA8BFNWMnkOE
Dudu turned to his crew. "DON’T JUST STAND THERE, YOU LAZY BASTARDS! FIX THE SHIP!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAHEKMzVxhBR
His crew groaned, rolling on the floor like they’d been mortally wounded.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAgLEZ1kQtGF
"Ughhh, boss… We’re dying over here…"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAxLpYp18MWe
Dudu squinted. “…YOU ASSHOLES WERE FAKING?!”
36Please respect copyright.PENANArKikdd2oMT
The crew sprang up in perfect sync.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAHoyDOzWlzp
"Sorry, boss!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAICE1X9PlS2
Dudu facepalmed again.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAiT0kP09rJB
Meanwhile, Eleo bolted toward the ship’s railing.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAnBZ35iFFiv
“Welp, time to go!”
36Please respect copyright.PENANApSu3BgbfMS
He grabbed the demon girl mid-run.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAOmpkEFE1JW
“Wha—WAIT, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!”
36Please respect copyright.PENANAeaLNChoG6A
They both jumped off the flying ship.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAXMNs5hhGun
Dudu, BK, Bo, and the entire crew ran to the railing and leaned over, staring down.
36Please respect copyright.PENANA4MF5uhBZ40
Silence.
36Please respect copyright.PENANA1vhjxVzzW8
Bo scratched his head. “…I guess he didn’t wanna die alone?”
36Please respect copyright.PENANA7b7D4h8DWf
The entire crew turned to look at him.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAWfGeTDkJoS
A beat of silence.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAdQsZvgSe1U
Then—
36Please respect copyright.PENANA9togVJjh2u
They all BURST INTO LAUGHTER.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAhgVBksMuCI
The entire crew collapsed onto the deck, rolling in laughter.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAzEX418zKVV
Dudu wiped away tears. "Alright, alright—somebody get the binoculars. Let’s see if the bunny actually survives."
36Please respect copyright.PENANA1dQhv3yOOy
Dudu snatched the binoculars from his crew and scanned the water below.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAyDXLtLCQmP
Nothing.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAIobAf4pDdI
No splashes, no floating bodies—just the vast, endless sea.
36Please respect copyright.PENANApDOfrL5oPr
He smirked, tossing the binoculars over his shoulder. "Welp, sucks for them. Guess they’re gonna drown. HA! Sucks to be them!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAheiLr71OYw
The crew burst into cheers.
36Please respect copyright.PENANA4Xc9huMKIw
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!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAMhBNU4RBLT
The crew roared.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAZAscv6bRQ1
“YEEEAAAAHHH!!!”
36Please respect copyright.PENANAAkmBfHjtxg
BOOM!
36Please respect copyright.PENANAimrBuLnqGW
The ship rocketed forward at ridiculous speed, disappearing into the sky like a shooting star.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAuzgZoKJ4Nq
Lilith sank deeper and deeper into the ocean, her long purple ponytail drifting like silk.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAEvWo9QcSys
Her eyes fluttered as she saw bubbles escaping her lips.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAUQEUqzm441
(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—)
36Please respect copyright.PENANAyf5kOtA0OD
SPLASH!
36Please respect copyright.PENANAUVLNRcGLBQ
Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed her, pulling her onto a warm back.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAZW62D1vkJG
Eleo kicked furiously toward the surface, holding her up.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAhx8jKKWJzd
Finally, they burst through the water, gasping for air.
36Please respect copyright.PENANA8NPRwiR0Qv
WHACK!
36Please respect copyright.PENANAHKCkguZPqz
Lilith slapped Eleo HARD on the head.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAHnUsofwliy
"YOU ASSHOLE! YOU ALMOST KILLED ME!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANA4V71LbHGFt
Eleo rubbed his head. "Ow! What the hell, jerk?! I just saved your life!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAscE9MdUZ9A
Lilith crossed her arms, shivering. "Maybe I wouldn’t have needed saving if you HAD A PLAN!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAsLSEa9tsFy
Eleo grinned and clapped his hands together. "Ink Bubble!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAxPsov6HjaI
A large, floating ink bubble formed around them, lifting them just above the water.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAYxwTbyf68i
Eleo wiped his brow. "There! Now we don’t need to swim!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANA9EjtxhkC7t
Lilith narrowed her eyes. "…Why didn’t you do that in the first place?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAzBumYhBLtD
Eleo blinked. "Uh… oh yeah. That would’ve been smart."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAqNMvFomXSR
Lilith facepalmed.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAPUOPo6myAi
Eleo stuck out his hand. "Anyway, I’m Eleo!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAVlGpnC6xOQ
She hesitated before sighing. "Lilith."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAORfIHGdqqr
Eleo grinned. "Well, Lilith, I’m on my way to… uh… I dunno, really."
36Please respect copyright.PENANA9MgYncYB7T
Lilith rolled her eyes. "There’s a town up north from here."
36Please respect copyright.PENANADqZfCrNQWZ
She hesitated, cheeks turning slightly pink. "And… thanks. For saving me."
36Please respect copyright.PENANASb3qdUWW1u
Eleo grinned wider. "No problem, Lilith!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAlB52f2Ucpk
He stepped inside the ink bubble, testing its movement.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAXfDENQRaUE
It floated forward with him.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAu8fFHtTMQ2
Eleo threw his fists in the air. "YESS! PERFECT!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAoQREVHtT7r
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?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAhYX0GjXXJ7
She pointed at a small abandoned pirate ship floating nearby.
36Please respect copyright.PENANA9cJmZ4ejkz
Eleo shrugged. "You can use it if you want. I’ma stick with my ink bubble!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAbAi5MNHT6Y
Lilith groaned. "Are you serious? What kind of idiot prefers an unstable magic bubble over a perfectly fine ship?!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAniTwEnZxwy
Eleo nodded proudly. "THIS idiot!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANA9sxKcJ1rJf
Lilith sighed, rubbing her temples. "Fine. Then at least swim me over there—I can’t swim."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAvSLJcWkZo0
Eleo grinned. "Nope!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAHN1afVM1vY
Lilith stared at him. "…Are you serious?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAWeY7ZRtiPt
Eleo hopped along the water in his ink bubble.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAEP1lrCGdTc
"La la la~! Ink bubble! Ink bubble! This thing is awesome!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAq5XWGSOQtc
Lilith sat inside the bubble, arms crossed. "I swear, I’m going to kill him."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4f3m59GKH
Then—
36Please respect copyright.PENANAGTCujUAek9
Eleo suddenly froze.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAg47JiKP4wi
His eyes widened in horror.
36Please respect copyright.PENANA4fSg9VeIt0
"OH NO!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANA0xI8BCeEMV
Lilith snapped to attention. "What?! What happened?!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANA2qOSzkL8ob
Eleo fell to his knees dramatically. "MY CARROTS! I FORGOT ABOUT THEM!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAoww4Ds0mgs
Lilith stared at him in disbelief.
36Please respect copyright.PENANA7kq6GM2o8m
"…ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS?!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAuZs21J7WPO
Eleo grabbed his ears. "THAT WAS MY ONLY FOOD! HOW AM I GONNA EAT NOW?!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAZqMEddxsbp
Lilith let out a long, exhausted sigh.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAMEzPQliNOB
She snapped her fingers.
36Please respect copyright.PENANA1vfHlg1dfA
POOF!
36Please respect copyright.PENANA0xrCzmt9X8
A fresh carrot appeared in her palm.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAvT3pCoqzXZ
Eleo’s eyes sparkled like the sun.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAy8OwdOg0iQ
"LILITH! YOU BEAUTIFUL GENIUS PRINCESS! THANK YOUUUU!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAdVsF2MhbFe
He hugged her tightly.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAjO9rZavVo0
Lilith stiffened, turning red. "H-Hey! Personal space, idiot!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAeQNyautdmH
Eleo started chomping down the carrot. "Mmmm! So good!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAUMVzz2fSAx
As he ate, he suddenly noticed her horns and tail.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAkAuRNfKoeH
"Hey, Lilith, why do you have horns and a tail? Are you like a really hardcore cosplayer or something?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANA6CER4RyIBR
Lilith exhaled deeply, pinching the bridge of her nose.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAYBK2wf9XH2
"…I’m a demon, you moron."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAIj3FRXh7DL
Eleo blinked.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAbJooFf9wAX
"OH! That makes sense! …Wait, no, it doesn’t. What’s a demon princess doing locked up in a pirate ship?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAPufSSzwd7Z
Lilith crossed her arms. "Hmph. None of your business."
36Please respect copyright.PENANA7KHTKCiqR9
Eleo shrugged. "Oh well, at least you’re free now!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAgAvofMyc9p
Lilith glanced at him, her expression softening just a little.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAHBMQ7MhrYr
(He’s an idiot… but he did save me.)
36Please respect copyright.PENANAO0EfTWp8UC
Eleo stood proudly on his ink bubble, chewing his carrot.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAshb9EJx5rk
"Alright! Time for adventure!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAvGp569GSWE
After a few hours go by the ink bubble drifted across the calm sea, carrying Eleo and Lilith toward their destination.
36Please respect copyright.PENANA75liE9eQmp
Lilith crossed her arms, staring ahead. "We should be getting close now."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAwh7U9Y1Zcr
Eleo was lounging inside the bubble, casually munching on another carrot. "Man, I hope this place has food. I’m starving."
36Please respect copyright.PENANANIwTmd0Mf8
Lilith sighed. "It’s called Burger Town. What do you think they sell?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAF5CLBhYFvA
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!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANA3m6g8l5HES
Lilith facepalmed. "It’s not literally made of burgers, you idiot!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAxrETNYgUDm
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—"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAYezzst3bk5
BOOM.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAzQOLBvtZzY
A sudden gust of wind hit them. The scent of smoke and ash filled the air.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAMrBRtruZJu
Lilith snapped her head forward, her eyes widening.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAUKmQMKWCdZ
Eleo blinked. "Huh?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAqyIogNQl4L
As their ink bubble reached the shore, they finally saw it—
36Please respect copyright.PENANAaQ0Yznzd6j
Burger Town… completely destroyed.
36Please respect copyright.PENANARDCqTVlryR
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.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAptpQt3xys5
Eleo’s ears drooped. "Uh… I don’t think they’re selling burgers anymore."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAHmMVMaV2fP
Lilith stepped forward, her eyes darting around in disbelief. "No… this can’t be right…"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9EhrBi5T7
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…"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAda5qcuupsw
Lilith ignored him. Her hands clenched into fists. "There were people here. Families. Kids." She looked around, her sharp eyes scanning for any survivors.
36Please respect copyright.PENANASKhOraUVEB
Then—
36Please respect copyright.PENANAXT3syHwMvL
CRUNCH.
36Please respect copyright.PENANA4tnuHkX4rI
Eleo stepped on something.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAMst7FU8eV5
He looked down… and froze.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAo0epHaNQmC
A shattered Toy bear… covered in blood.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAbCHlwyBjeE
Lilith stiffened.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAvkF6lEezVh
Eleo tilted his head. "Well… that’s probably not good."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAQW1ZedeZ1R
Then—
36Please respect copyright.PENANAasqo3h9uZY
A weak voice coughed from the rubble.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAF8nXe100Rx
"H…Help…"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAMsuYMyqKfJ
Both Eleo and Lilith snapped their heads toward the sound.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAj2T0eXj0fv
A man, bloodied and barely conscious, was trapped under a collapsed wall.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAlFiUbbZeP8
Lilith rushed over, kneeling beside him. "Hey! Stay with me!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAIfE4woFxoH
The man slowly opened his eyes. "D… Demons… they… attacked…"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAkD2A4q2sTx
Lilith’s stomach dropped. "Demons?!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANA6dPq2ZQiBn
The man weakly grabbed her wrist. "They… were looking… for someone…"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAqWbCskXtAX
Eleo scratched his head. "Oh? Who?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAZAa9c5Wctl
The man’s eyes flickered toward Lilith.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAIgbHF0MPC4
Lilith felt a cold chill run down her spine.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAle0dSHMGEX
Eleo raised an eyebrow. "Wait, wait, wait—are you saying those demons destroyed the whole town looking for Lilith?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAea6oeAKaf8
The man gave a faint nod before losing consciousness.
36Please respect copyright.PENANApLo3u84lnN
Lilith’s fists clenched.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAtOHv1F6ger
Eleo grinned. "Ooooh! Does this mean we’re gonna fight some demons?!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAtllUeGnUOW
Lilith deadpanned. "This is NOT a good thing, you idiot!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANATpZvVaW5JW
Eleo shrugged. "Still sounds fun!"
