Dudu sprang high into the air like a tightly coiled spring launching loose, his rainbow hair bouncing wildly.
83Please respect copyright.PENANANfvyakuHP0
"BOING!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAkhcQNSQ05F
His leg coiled mid-air like a steel spring, then—
83Please respect copyright.PENANAvtlY6SIIJt
"SPRING DROP KICK!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAVmGN50Jhz3
WHAM!
83Please respect copyright.PENANA7KPVG5E4aL
Eleo blocked with both arms, skidding backward, his feet scraping the deck. The force nearly launched him off the ship.
83Please respect copyright.PENANA4aEgyYrI0u
Eleo gritted his teeth. "Whoa—! Okay, ow. That kinda hurt."
83Please respect copyright.PENANAIi6AGfMGcI
Meanwhile, the demon girl frantically searched the ship, flipping over barrels and crates.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAlWLAFvFRVI
"Ugh! Where the hell is a safe boat when you need one?!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAi8EPzpj0zA
Dudu landed back on the deck, stretching his shoulders.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAzwMD4Mhmbq
"Hey, Mr. Rat! You gonna help me or what?!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANABpYCTfEitC
Bo’s giant pet rat twitched its nose, then charged at Eleo with blinding speed.
83Please respect copyright.PENANA4oMpf5Vx7h
SQUEEEEEEK!
83Please respect copyright.PENANA5h2rnW7AfG
In four seconds…
83Please respect copyright.PENANACIVmpzlenh
BAM! SMACK! CRUNCH!
83Please respect copyright.PENANAjbKOJ47bBD
The rat was already on the ground, dazed, holding up a tiny white flag in surrender.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAUuuxg92r0L
The entire crew stared.
83Please respect copyright.PENANA8J1otUVrCf
Dudu’s jaw dropped. “…You gotta be kidding me.”
83Please respect copyright.PENANAHilPAD9nW9
The demon girl raised an eyebrow. “Seriously? That fast?”
83Please respect copyright.PENANAaGNzb4Twyn
Eleo dusted off his hands. “Huh. Guess I’m stronger than a rat.”
83Please respect copyright.PENANAcd5gUoHowB
Dudu facepalmed. “…No shit, idiot.”
83Please respect copyright.PENANAFEViXNP6a4
He flopped onto the ship dramatically, groaning.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAHE91IqxRBF
Eleo cracked his knuckles. "Okay, my turn—INK!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANATM4ik2MG7j
He clapped his hands together.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAuom7l7pkHr
His arms transformed into a massive black cannon.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAQLm2zrcFZX
"INK CANNON!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANA5gRaX3C5yT
BOOOOM!
83Please respect copyright.PENANAk8OcYx0Tew
A huge black ink ball blasted toward Dudu.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAZtnjW20lNJ
Dudu’s eyes widened. "CRAP—!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAxCxN44De9m
He instantly stretched his legs, making them ridiculously tall to dodge.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAiHdQ9M4GdC
The ink cannonball sailed right past him.
83Please respect copyright.PENANALZtmFNeqXz
BAM!
83Please respect copyright.PENANAfPEPCHh5fy
It smashed into the ship's hull instead.
83Please respect copyright.PENANATzIVN4h9uT
Dudu’s face went pale. "Ah shit—"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAhTW33EWtco
The ship shook violently.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAw9GpfojGT5
Dudu blinked. "…Maybe I shoulda just let him hit me."
83Please respect copyright.PENANALFvfFfvplM
Dudu turned to his crew. "DON’T JUST STAND THERE, YOU LAZY BASTARDS! FIX THE SHIP!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANA8DWgkNjDUe
His crew groaned, rolling on the floor like they’d been mortally wounded.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAx7daUwFXaB
"Ughhh, boss… We’re dying over here…"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAgTlKg8ELvL
Dudu squinted. “…YOU ASSHOLES WERE FAKING?!”
83Please respect copyright.PENANAthNttC7NoB
The crew sprang up in perfect sync.
83Please respect copyright.PENANA7sSWPERxFo
"Sorry, boss!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAySCbjyzcXT
Dudu facepalmed again.
83Please respect copyright.PENANALGFKHUki27
Meanwhile, Eleo bolted toward the ship’s railing.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAUzgKj4IOZC
“Welp, time to go!”
83Please respect copyright.PENANAF3ZBjuHs42
He grabbed the demon girl mid-run.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2csh65v5n
“Wha—WAIT, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!”
83Please respect copyright.PENANAAnvbmZH7UO
They both jumped off the flying ship.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAwVuylBuq1c
Dudu, BK, Bo, and the entire crew ran to the railing and leaned over, staring down.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAM2W9hiMJrf
Silence.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAVWpJfDjOvz
Bo scratched his head. “…I guess he didn’t wanna die alone?”
83Please respect copyright.PENANAtDLZd71tUj
The entire crew turned to look at him.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAd3uQVlT1zp
A beat of silence.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAMiHejij6zq
Then—
83Please respect copyright.PENANAobAvMwu8zZ
They all BURST INTO LAUGHTER.
83Please respect copyright.PENANA4713xZWEar
The entire crew collapsed onto the deck, rolling in laughter.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAQYRm9z22SP
Dudu wiped away tears. "Alright, alright—somebody get the binoculars. Let’s see if the bunny actually survives."
83Please respect copyright.PENANAy0YF1IkjuF
Dudu snatched the binoculars from his crew and scanned the water below.
83Please respect copyright.PENANATfhd0f5zjN
Nothing.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAIZaWPZfnfR
No splashes, no floating bodies—just the vast, endless sea.
83Please respect copyright.PENANA2x4fnHedwz
He smirked, tossing the binoculars over his shoulder. "Welp, sucks for them. Guess they’re gonna drown. HA! Sucks to be them!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAGZUHXe0UaH
The crew burst into cheers.
83Please respect copyright.PENANA2c0lpqWXMr
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!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAwpNl9AKjaF
The crew roared.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAkVDKYsbFtt
“YEEEAAAAHHH!!!”
83Please respect copyright.PENANACWwIJnRTZK
BOOM!
83Please respect copyright.PENANARSApnhiPIR
The ship rocketed forward at ridiculous speed, disappearing into the sky like a shooting star.
83Please respect copyright.PENANA7LMRLiMvQq
Lilith sank deeper and deeper into the ocean, her long purple ponytail drifting like silk.
83Please respect copyright.PENANABiexlLAKsK
Her eyes fluttered as she saw bubbles escaping her lips.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAOq3y7YxHC3
(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—)
83Please respect copyright.PENANAUYTploUXHK
SPLASH!
83Please respect copyright.PENANA8B1K1Es2r0
Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed her, pulling her onto a warm back.
83Please respect copyright.PENANA1Iwx0TRyhY
Eleo kicked furiously toward the surface, holding her up.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAX0go2ycFNo
Finally, they burst through the water, gasping for air.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAk1r7IQAlz7
WHACK!
83Please respect copyright.PENANAe4nH5oVtam
Lilith slapped Eleo HARD on the head.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAsC1ZV7sgye
"YOU ASSHOLE! YOU ALMOST KILLED ME!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAdIkL7HNuwB
Eleo rubbed his head. "Ow! What the hell, jerk?! I just saved your life!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANA8ri2nAZsRP
Lilith crossed her arms, shivering. "Maybe I wouldn’t have needed saving if you HAD A PLAN!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAM0TjF47FMI
Eleo grinned and clapped his hands together. "Ink Bubble!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANApEcHDrHcAS
A large, floating ink bubble formed around them, lifting them just above the water.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAIVo5kYN4PB
Eleo wiped his brow. "There! Now we don’t need to swim!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAzwtMB4hD6w
Lilith narrowed her eyes. "…Why didn’t you do that in the first place?"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAK5HyhHfMp5
Eleo blinked. "Uh… oh yeah. That would’ve been smart."
83Please respect copyright.PENANAnhrgxwkWlL
Lilith facepalmed.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAvwNETFXgqP
Eleo stuck out his hand. "Anyway, I’m Eleo!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAH9RqjpHuuY
She hesitated before sighing. "Lilith."
83Please respect copyright.PENANATwUBpk0RHm
Eleo grinned. "Well, Lilith, I’m on my way to… uh… I dunno, really."
83Please respect copyright.PENANA3yKph4jIWL
Lilith rolled her eyes. "There’s a town up north from here."
83Please respect copyright.PENANAp0p3zHFUSW
She hesitated, cheeks turning slightly pink. "And… thanks. For saving me."
83Please respect copyright.PENANAgBW4MRP64G
Eleo grinned wider. "No problem, Lilith!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAQdi58WpBQi
He stepped inside the ink bubble, testing its movement.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAlRYfiz2I1j
It floated forward with him.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAyHJ1Pk5LY2
Eleo threw his fists in the air. "YESS! PERFECT!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANA7v3NzVJqsx
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?"
83Please respect copyright.PENANA1fpONc6GUN
She pointed at a small abandoned pirate ship floating nearby.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAarWx9l1s54
Eleo shrugged. "You can use it if you want. I’ma stick with my ink bubble!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAOCzMx52zC3
Lilith groaned. "Are you serious? What kind of idiot prefers an unstable magic bubble over a perfectly fine ship?!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAhmXjrNLJoH
Eleo nodded proudly. "THIS idiot!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAmheOOjnJyQ
Lilith sighed, rubbing her temples. "Fine. Then at least swim me over there—I can’t swim."
83Please respect copyright.PENANAP69zkRg03B
Eleo grinned. "Nope!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANA8c4fwoii97
Lilith stared at him. "…Are you serious?"
83Please respect copyright.PENANALoybC3Dui8
Eleo hopped along the water in his ink bubble.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAv2kJwKNlHQ
"La la la~! Ink bubble! Ink bubble! This thing is awesome!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANA8qB5DIzfuo
Lilith sat inside the bubble, arms crossed. "I swear, I’m going to kill him."
83Please respect copyright.PENANAHsSpdRmfP6
Then—
83Please respect copyright.PENANACmwE3mi926
Eleo suddenly froze.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAUNxtc880iZ
His eyes widened in horror.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAsVQtDV7ErN
"OH NO!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAgoIQHR1QPA
Lilith snapped to attention. "What?! What happened?!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAIaW3TinSM5
Eleo fell to his knees dramatically. "MY CARROTS! I FORGOT ABOUT THEM!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAaKctfGQ6oe
Lilith stared at him in disbelief.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAwFar4XTEoe
"…ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS?!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAq1vjFBrC3s
Eleo grabbed his ears. "THAT WAS MY ONLY FOOD! HOW AM I GONNA EAT NOW?!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAcOc4SMiNnK
Lilith let out a long, exhausted sigh.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAlVks9PSk6Q
She snapped her fingers.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAYeCqpw6jYw
POOF!
83Please respect copyright.PENANAvIryvcxfOC
A fresh carrot appeared in her palm.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAm8ruOHlURx
Eleo’s eyes sparkled like the sun.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAggXNcYqyIY
"LILITH! YOU BEAUTIFUL GENIUS PRINCESS! THANK YOUUUU!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAxwf2lpGKqq
He hugged her tightly.
83Please respect copyright.PENANATrnaXvKT8n
Lilith stiffened, turning red. "H-Hey! Personal space, idiot!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAEbb9vNnmTF
Eleo started chomping down the carrot. "Mmmm! So good!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANATTxuhWJXlq
As he ate, he suddenly noticed her horns and tail.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAHRsEibAGwj
"Hey, Lilith, why do you have horns and a tail? Are you like a really hardcore cosplayer or something?"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAzkP3j1jyVs
Lilith exhaled deeply, pinching the bridge of her nose.
83Please respect copyright.PENANApcI9MKAWKP
"…I’m a demon, you moron."
83Please respect copyright.PENANAdT4rYBudCs
Eleo blinked.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAlfEeeCzNeg
"OH! That makes sense! …Wait, no, it doesn’t. What’s a demon princess doing locked up in a pirate ship?"
83Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ardej5X2f
Lilith crossed her arms. "Hmph. None of your business."
83Please respect copyright.PENANA8EhLkYNOLf
Eleo shrugged. "Oh well, at least you’re free now!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANA24aUV70rnB
Lilith glanced at him, her expression softening just a little.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAYIYmBZCiwq
(He’s an idiot… but he did save me.)
83Please respect copyright.PENANAmXpc9VhPY0
Eleo stood proudly on his ink bubble, chewing his carrot.
83Please respect copyright.PENANABYplm9TuZW
"Alright! Time for adventure!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAq8NEthIWdz
After a few hours go by the ink bubble drifted across the calm sea, carrying Eleo and Lilith toward their destination.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAMP1T76OUBI
Lilith crossed her arms, staring ahead. "We should be getting close now."
83Please respect copyright.PENANArnSsoYrVuw
Eleo was lounging inside the bubble, casually munching on another carrot. "Man, I hope this place has food. I’m starving."
83Please respect copyright.PENANA4KhHCQAUWD
Lilith sighed. "It’s called Burger Town. What do you think they sell?"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAqffZfCTvcd
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!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAdqJBymiZIz
Lilith facepalmed. "It’s not literally made of burgers, you idiot!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAe3uqmEWWKk
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—"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAYVNzRiKcds
BOOM.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAkoppZr5Z9D
A sudden gust of wind hit them. The scent of smoke and ash filled the air.
83Please respect copyright.PENANARZ50yemurV
Lilith snapped her head forward, her eyes widening.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAt74e7myr17
Eleo blinked. "Huh?"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAa0FRDPD3PR
As their ink bubble reached the shore, they finally saw it—
83Please respect copyright.PENANAdNgsG0YOCi
Burger Town… completely destroyed.
83Please respect copyright.PENANArw5AqGr8kw
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.
83Please respect copyright.PENANANxtwRhLLPX
Eleo’s ears drooped. "Uh… I don’t think they’re selling burgers anymore."
83Please respect copyright.PENANAgcC3FIkmwM
Lilith stepped forward, her eyes darting around in disbelief. "No… this can’t be right…"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAH8kGqu9CAY
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…"
83Please respect copyright.PENANA5CpXx0meNT
Lilith ignored him. Her hands clenched into fists. "There were people here. Families. Kids." She looked around, her sharp eyes scanning for any survivors.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAEC6Xft4Wmn
Then—
83Please respect copyright.PENANAuQxcQexBYC
CRUNCH.
83Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ocrmsz3AQ
Eleo stepped on something.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAS8GYCBMy9X
He looked down… and froze.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAUgrtgp7U8C
A shattered Toy bear… covered in blood.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAi2C0dBovUT
Lilith stiffened.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAOqsJfIR53P
Eleo tilted his head. "Well… that’s probably not good."
83Please respect copyright.PENANAqLkV17uyAK
Then—
83Please respect copyright.PENANASXIJYZm3XG
A weak voice coughed from the rubble.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAVxmfadyDEV
"H…Help…"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAEh8xs2gjvq
Both Eleo and Lilith snapped their heads toward the sound.
83Please respect copyright.PENANA4cOfBwsSsk
A man, bloodied and barely conscious, was trapped under a collapsed wall.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAWjhvBAX7fl
Lilith rushed over, kneeling beside him. "Hey! Stay with me!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAcYFGILlaFc
The man slowly opened his eyes. "D… Demons… they… attacked…"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAdzRr1v3nam
Lilith’s stomach dropped. "Demons?!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAAkJV0ITn8m
The man weakly grabbed her wrist. "They… were looking… for someone…"
83Please respect copyright.PENANASltj7OTRWQ
Eleo scratched his head. "Oh? Who?"
83Please respect copyright.PENANA22JaKZfPgd
The man’s eyes flickered toward Lilith.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAZMfDAD0W7M
Lilith felt a cold chill run down her spine.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAchrP65qngC
Eleo raised an eyebrow. "Wait, wait, wait—are you saying those demons destroyed the whole town looking for Lilith?"
83Please respect copyright.PENANAo9yF6g1caT
The man gave a faint nod before losing consciousness.
83Please respect copyright.PENANA55t5CfGC5X
Lilith’s fists clenched.
83Please respect copyright.PENANA4yzlkwK0uL
Eleo grinned. "Ooooh! Does this mean we’re gonna fight some demons?!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANA6PsLU7C151
Lilith deadpanned. "This is NOT a good thing, you idiot!"
83Please respect copyright.PENANASjKBpsdddM
Eleo shrugged. "Still sounds fun!"
