Dudu sprang high into the air like a tightly coiled spring launching loose, his rainbow hair bouncing wildly.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAYknHVP2yYu
"BOING!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAonMyxnstYx
His leg coiled mid-air like a steel spring, then—
31Please respect copyright.PENANAx2wvGjcGZr
"SPRING DROP KICK!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAYMMvIUnWVd
WHAM!
31Please respect copyright.PENANA7IrwEw7tvR
Eleo blocked with both arms, skidding backward, his feet scraping the deck. The force nearly launched him off the ship.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAfxUeYIYNtr
Eleo gritted his teeth. "Whoa—! Okay, ow. That kinda hurt."
31Please respect copyright.PENANA4rZovLtwHu
Meanwhile, the demon girl frantically searched the ship, flipping over barrels and crates.
31Please respect copyright.PENANA8hUwY3jWdS
"Ugh! Where the hell is a safe boat when you need one?!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAYLqDmGvDiC
Dudu landed back on the deck, stretching his shoulders.
31Please respect copyright.PENANASVlRVfZ3En
"Hey, Mr. Rat! You gonna help me or what?!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAO6af3inMqD
Bo’s giant pet rat twitched its nose, then charged at Eleo with blinding speed.
31Please respect copyright.PENANApraMa5PrlP
SQUEEEEEEK!
31Please respect copyright.PENANAHSb5bGJbgZ
In four seconds…
31Please respect copyright.PENANAtLMyjqzNnT
BAM! SMACK! CRUNCH!
31Please respect copyright.PENANAvPhlE2cLr8
The rat was already on the ground, dazed, holding up a tiny white flag in surrender.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAQqTBRimLcD
The entire crew stared.
31Please respect copyright.PENANACguwUwAw0O
Dudu’s jaw dropped. “…You gotta be kidding me.”
31Please respect copyright.PENANAenCuEcRMJl
The demon girl raised an eyebrow. “Seriously? That fast?”
31Please respect copyright.PENANAuo3ZpOp8N1
Eleo dusted off his hands. “Huh. Guess I’m stronger than a rat.”
31Please respect copyright.PENANAajLSz0ExP4
Dudu facepalmed. “…No shit, idiot.”
31Please respect copyright.PENANA0ny6F7bhMX
He flopped onto the ship dramatically, groaning.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAT7kyjhzaJF
Eleo cracked his knuckles. "Okay, my turn—INK!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAdHFcVYFWOK
He clapped his hands together.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAHXwE22Ckq4
His arms transformed into a massive black cannon.
31Please respect copyright.PENANATrLoWE3R7w
"INK CANNON!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANApFlsuY8skk
BOOOOM!
31Please respect copyright.PENANA9h2dwwTm0C
A huge black ink ball blasted toward Dudu.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAoPoHg8BWpU
Dudu’s eyes widened. "CRAP—!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANASbXXPsfNDA
He instantly stretched his legs, making them ridiculously tall to dodge.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAKVwdv8bc5J
The ink cannonball sailed right past him.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAscbPqqalc9
BAM!
31Please respect copyright.PENANAsFHVpT5P5h
It smashed into the ship's hull instead.
31Please respect copyright.PENANA6rgS53AgCJ
Dudu’s face went pale. "Ah shit—"
31Please respect copyright.PENANADgyW5XpsAb
The ship shook violently.
31Please respect copyright.PENANANiLfVHqojD
Dudu blinked. "…Maybe I shoulda just let him hit me."
31Please respect copyright.PENANA30pq6KApsF
Dudu turned to his crew. "DON’T JUST STAND THERE, YOU LAZY BASTARDS! FIX THE SHIP!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAvs2s1D1R2Z
His crew groaned, rolling on the floor like they’d been mortally wounded.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAfdexWnIv7Z
"Ughhh, boss… We’re dying over here…"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAlpJoEBEeUF
Dudu squinted. “…YOU ASSHOLES WERE FAKING?!”
31Please respect copyright.PENANAvg2Wv2EopB
The crew sprang up in perfect sync.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAg1ST8oIVZH
"Sorry, boss!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAXVbv8Y30QB
Dudu facepalmed again.
31Please respect copyright.PENANATfNWwy2iOF
Meanwhile, Eleo bolted toward the ship’s railing.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAVO1VoHRpss
“Welp, time to go!”
31Please respect copyright.PENANAbRzszHvxMp
He grabbed the demon girl mid-run.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAIvDVNyeouz
“Wha—WAIT, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!”
31Please respect copyright.PENANAEvL6hPjWba
They both jumped off the flying ship.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAO3B9hnaLSY
Dudu, BK, Bo, and the entire crew ran to the railing and leaned over, staring down.
31Please respect copyright.PENANA99FV3JXjLD
Silence.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAddqXCyjlmv
Bo scratched his head. “…I guess he didn’t wanna die alone?”
31Please respect copyright.PENANAbrrtZduTzS
The entire crew turned to look at him.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAJgDwWV1n6S
A beat of silence.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAp506LazfTk
Then—
31Please respect copyright.PENANAkIgbAXgW3x
They all BURST INTO LAUGHTER.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAfT7H5xbO0j
The entire crew collapsed onto the deck, rolling in laughter.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAsH2Jo8kRIE
Dudu wiped away tears. "Alright, alright—somebody get the binoculars. Let’s see if the bunny actually survives."
31Please respect copyright.PENANAo7HfbUYPv3
Dudu snatched the binoculars from his crew and scanned the water below.
31Please respect copyright.PENANADgzWuDpyKD
Nothing.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAwba5PKIquP
No splashes, no floating bodies—just the vast, endless sea.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAC0pUq3aLql
He smirked, tossing the binoculars over his shoulder. "Welp, sucks for them. Guess they’re gonna drown. HA! Sucks to be them!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAuGs4ASolIz
The crew burst into cheers.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAxbEHk4YpJ3
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!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAM2VeFnRiEL
The crew roared.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAZsE3yRuQEP
“YEEEAAAAHHH!!!”
31Please respect copyright.PENANAlOQkgmji1R
BOOM!
31Please respect copyright.PENANA5gjEEh3aXH
The ship rocketed forward at ridiculous speed, disappearing into the sky like a shooting star.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAm1g0d6E0ag
Lilith sank deeper and deeper into the ocean, her long purple ponytail drifting like silk.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAh8VOkxqRZ4
Her eyes fluttered as she saw bubbles escaping her lips.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAJoGbHgdG4e
(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—)
31Please respect copyright.PENANA6E37nMWtfP
SPLASH!
31Please respect copyright.PENANAcRjlWM5LJI
Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed her, pulling her onto a warm back.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAsBP7uikLpL
Eleo kicked furiously toward the surface, holding her up.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAWhi1kcQE31
Finally, they burst through the water, gasping for air.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAtIIbBXN8d2
WHACK!
31Please respect copyright.PENANAhw28SLzatp
Lilith slapped Eleo HARD on the head.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAT5JVdcnB9y
"YOU ASSHOLE! YOU ALMOST KILLED ME!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANA5CneO4pVR3
Eleo rubbed his head. "Ow! What the hell, jerk?! I just saved your life!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAbG7kZ0kULV
Lilith crossed her arms, shivering. "Maybe I wouldn’t have needed saving if you HAD A PLAN!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAAA1nNNkbT8
Eleo grinned and clapped his hands together. "Ink Bubble!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAVeFDHWASmC
A large, floating ink bubble formed around them, lifting them just above the water.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAE07T6USjyS
Eleo wiped his brow. "There! Now we don’t need to swim!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAS2ftixjIaq
Lilith narrowed her eyes. "…Why didn’t you do that in the first place?"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAptALLIOyV4
Eleo blinked. "Uh… oh yeah. That would’ve been smart."
31Please respect copyright.PENANAK7I968VTwv
Lilith facepalmed.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAeawk2XFnwz
Eleo stuck out his hand. "Anyway, I’m Eleo!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANArI2O4NRLEX
She hesitated before sighing. "Lilith."
31Please respect copyright.PENANAhTlD7nABqH
Eleo grinned. "Well, Lilith, I’m on my way to… uh… I dunno, really."
31Please respect copyright.PENANAETNRv2gbPm
Lilith rolled her eyes. "There’s a town up north from here."
31Please respect copyright.PENANAHHiadcOxc9
She hesitated, cheeks turning slightly pink. "And… thanks. For saving me."
31Please respect copyright.PENANAxC3XNQEgPi
Eleo grinned wider. "No problem, Lilith!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANA2kb8UDsFxV
He stepped inside the ink bubble, testing its movement.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAMvVmJd1GRH
It floated forward with him.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAut9WuUfCsN
Eleo threw his fists in the air. "YESS! PERFECT!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANADIOHru4Vyh
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?"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAluqw0HLP1I
She pointed at a small abandoned pirate ship floating nearby.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAXNKObshGYZ
Eleo shrugged. "You can use it if you want. I’ma stick with my ink bubble!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAlmnOkC2sDn
Lilith groaned. "Are you serious? What kind of idiot prefers an unstable magic bubble over a perfectly fine ship?!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANARMxL0yOLFl
Eleo nodded proudly. "THIS idiot!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAGsSiGcijNf
Lilith sighed, rubbing her temples. "Fine. Then at least swim me over there—I can’t swim."
31Please respect copyright.PENANAP7NSmhODou
Eleo grinned. "Nope!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANABlYn1u9dvv
Lilith stared at him. "…Are you serious?"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAXMGG1QNiVn
Eleo hopped along the water in his ink bubble.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAjSYU0qK3dX
"La la la~! Ink bubble! Ink bubble! This thing is awesome!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANA37s3ByXsxM
Lilith sat inside the bubble, arms crossed. "I swear, I’m going to kill him."
31Please respect copyright.PENANAshfUyaOsuV
Then—
31Please respect copyright.PENANAq36onPxRzk
Eleo suddenly froze.
31Please respect copyright.PENANABNwLgzmmD9
His eyes widened in horror.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAaFbUiCnJKr
"OH NO!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANA0LW8WryxbM
Lilith snapped to attention. "What?! What happened?!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANASYxoytOfhI
Eleo fell to his knees dramatically. "MY CARROTS! I FORGOT ABOUT THEM!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAXmHpd2UuNC
Lilith stared at him in disbelief.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAaVt8Mb0E9w
"…ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS?!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAakaONBNy0n
Eleo grabbed his ears. "THAT WAS MY ONLY FOOD! HOW AM I GONNA EAT NOW?!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAvbYbaBOzDu
Lilith let out a long, exhausted sigh.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAqHWuCqIwz5
She snapped her fingers.
31Please respect copyright.PENANA3wjB9onl2J
POOF!
31Please respect copyright.PENANA8T8rXtkudp
A fresh carrot appeared in her palm.
31Please respect copyright.PENANA6UZAR2Z729
Eleo’s eyes sparkled like the sun.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAZJ7x6WqOuj
"LILITH! YOU BEAUTIFUL GENIUS PRINCESS! THANK YOUUUU!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAuWcmfDHijL
He hugged her tightly.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAB2n4Y8jPth
Lilith stiffened, turning red. "H-Hey! Personal space, idiot!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAyTYu3ekpxo
Eleo started chomping down the carrot. "Mmmm! So good!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANA9qfTQOIJx7
As he ate, he suddenly noticed her horns and tail.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAGqWTiqcvGr
"Hey, Lilith, why do you have horns and a tail? Are you like a really hardcore cosplayer or something?"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAg492tl4v6X
Lilith exhaled deeply, pinching the bridge of her nose.
31Please respect copyright.PENANA20zwC9r22I
"…I’m a demon, you moron."
31Please respect copyright.PENANAuTZnLuHjAi
Eleo blinked.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAsqtsIF37XC
"OH! That makes sense! …Wait, no, it doesn’t. What’s a demon princess doing locked up in a pirate ship?"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAQdlJa9j5NK
Lilith crossed her arms. "Hmph. None of your business."
31Please respect copyright.PENANAC9EWQy4Noz
Eleo shrugged. "Oh well, at least you’re free now!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANA1RS479ldxQ
Lilith glanced at him, her expression softening just a little.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAhdcrjtg2qg
(He’s an idiot… but he did save me.)
31Please respect copyright.PENANAylt4aaQJwH
Eleo stood proudly on his ink bubble, chewing his carrot.
31Please respect copyright.PENANArRyN3Dky86
"Alright! Time for adventure!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAwUdtO9dqSw
After a few hours go by the ink bubble drifted across the calm sea, carrying Eleo and Lilith toward their destination.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAe0FMhFXCDL
Lilith crossed her arms, staring ahead. "We should be getting close now."
31Please respect copyright.PENANAbVVbb1Wucb
Eleo was lounging inside the bubble, casually munching on another carrot. "Man, I hope this place has food. I’m starving."
31Please respect copyright.PENANAFr5JOxkAlZ
Lilith sighed. "It’s called Burger Town. What do you think they sell?"
31Please respect copyright.PENANA0ccah5Ul2K
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!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAHLhvW2xzqT
Lilith facepalmed. "It’s not literally made of burgers, you idiot!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAJmWyNAfWCn
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—"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAWaUqAikmtP
BOOM.
31Please respect copyright.PENANA9I7zreiCaV
A sudden gust of wind hit them. The scent of smoke and ash filled the air.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAZMaoB0Bv71
Lilith snapped her head forward, her eyes widening.
31Please respect copyright.PENANALqHtYgGZ5q
Eleo blinked. "Huh?"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAgYeyf3yA8d
As their ink bubble reached the shore, they finally saw it—
31Please respect copyright.PENANASZXcFSr3mz
Burger Town… completely destroyed.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAkqNBr399eU
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.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAPtZEzel91w
Eleo’s ears drooped. "Uh… I don’t think they’re selling burgers anymore."
31Please respect copyright.PENANA97LiCmRkuQ
Lilith stepped forward, her eyes darting around in disbelief. "No… this can’t be right…"
31Please respect copyright.PENANA7YZkU3GiY5
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…"
31Please respect copyright.PENANASzjmzz3Hke
Lilith ignored him. Her hands clenched into fists. "There were people here. Families. Kids." She looked around, her sharp eyes scanning for any survivors.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAxqun9Q1mV0
Then—
31Please respect copyright.PENANAHmPcy00JUg
CRUNCH.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAm7tBRunpWI
Eleo stepped on something.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAIgGfmPiNyx
He looked down… and froze.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAmV2feOEx5T
A shattered Toy bear… covered in blood.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAtEiwaTHigf
Lilith stiffened.
31Please respect copyright.PENANA2lGC77KRK1
Eleo tilted his head. "Well… that’s probably not good."
31Please respect copyright.PENANA4LC0TOgqok
Then—
31Please respect copyright.PENANAV4Q30qakLN
A weak voice coughed from the rubble.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAk813Rr32bk
"H…Help…"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAQnlZ8mAvrQ
Both Eleo and Lilith snapped their heads toward the sound.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAeAg7TBs4tF
A man, bloodied and barely conscious, was trapped under a collapsed wall.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAjZ4bzu46PT
Lilith rushed over, kneeling beside him. "Hey! Stay with me!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAQyhMiV3jeJ
The man slowly opened his eyes. "D… Demons… they… attacked…"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAdQ0Tqri1pG
Lilith’s stomach dropped. "Demons?!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAf5Qh1aNieX
The man weakly grabbed her wrist. "They… were looking… for someone…"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAtRbz7p8PPG
Eleo scratched his head. "Oh? Who?"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAlvqd9PxF16
The man’s eyes flickered toward Lilith.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAQuoR4ndKCj
Lilith felt a cold chill run down her spine.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAp87kRfAaT3
Eleo raised an eyebrow. "Wait, wait, wait—are you saying those demons destroyed the whole town looking for Lilith?"
31Please respect copyright.PENANABTjsgb5dfu
The man gave a faint nod before losing consciousness.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAFBSdDLOUZn
Lilith’s fists clenched.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAi29Fvcbef2
Eleo grinned. "Ooooh! Does this mean we’re gonna fight some demons?!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAkZmHqh2mqq
Lilith deadpanned. "This is NOT a good thing, you idiot!"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAJt0ED4lDOj
Eleo shrugged. "Still sounds fun!"
