Dudu sprang high into the air like a tightly coiled spring launching loose, his rainbow hair bouncing wildly.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAeUAWpYfiUR
"BOING!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAtkJKSUr920
His leg coiled mid-air like a steel spring, then—
35Please respect copyright.PENANAcS5U3rIXow
"SPRING DROP KICK!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAHLBTt77LAa
WHAM!
35Please respect copyright.PENANA4ueQvvFDOy
Eleo blocked with both arms, skidding backward, his feet scraping the deck. The force nearly launched him off the ship.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAYhNKTBLauL
Eleo gritted his teeth. "Whoa—! Okay, ow. That kinda hurt."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAAQYdknCDm8
Meanwhile, the demon girl frantically searched the ship, flipping over barrels and crates.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAST6R43vzS2
"Ugh! Where the hell is a safe boat when you need one?!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAcDYxpcxjt3
Dudu landed back on the deck, stretching his shoulders.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAL3ZWMUWZ9N
"Hey, Mr. Rat! You gonna help me or what?!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAU9Keh7EfXT
Bo’s giant pet rat twitched its nose, then charged at Eleo with blinding speed.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAqlmBn1v62Q
SQUEEEEEEK!
35Please respect copyright.PENANAV4Y0heHiMQ
In four seconds…
35Please respect copyright.PENANAevg6OY33Gc
BAM! SMACK! CRUNCH!
35Please respect copyright.PENANAWP6EinXjz8
The rat was already on the ground, dazed, holding up a tiny white flag in surrender.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAvcqJmb5p6P
The entire crew stared.
35Please respect copyright.PENANA48AvIocPTj
Dudu’s jaw dropped. “…You gotta be kidding me.”
35Please respect copyright.PENANA5jMsiwaQpt
The demon girl raised an eyebrow. “Seriously? That fast?”
35Please respect copyright.PENANAuInfGkOrSw
Eleo dusted off his hands. “Huh. Guess I’m stronger than a rat.”
35Please respect copyright.PENANAY0IybC8Yma
Dudu facepalmed. “…No shit, idiot.”
35Please respect copyright.PENANAiucbwMbIbK
He flopped onto the ship dramatically, groaning.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAmhO3dILRIp
Eleo cracked his knuckles. "Okay, my turn—INK!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAL066Eyauj5
He clapped his hands together.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAccaWnLzJiY
His arms transformed into a massive black cannon.
35Please respect copyright.PENANA2l46rG3W3W
"INK CANNON!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANA5nYI1TlwzE
BOOOOM!
35Please respect copyright.PENANAgbl2on2ZcP
A huge black ink ball blasted toward Dudu.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAExReIk64dU
Dudu’s eyes widened. "CRAP—!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAGHBYeMz6GZ
He instantly stretched his legs, making them ridiculously tall to dodge.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAg8wCEPzFM2
The ink cannonball sailed right past him.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAP1QDmNcmTh
BAM!
35Please respect copyright.PENANAmO2TjqR1wD
It smashed into the ship's hull instead.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAzKSloOFPJ5
Dudu’s face went pale. "Ah shit—"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAwnufOK3YIN
The ship shook violently.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAHjpR3fNye0
Dudu blinked. "…Maybe I shoulda just let him hit me."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAGIJ1U9ILjj
Dudu turned to his crew. "DON’T JUST STAND THERE, YOU LAZY BASTARDS! FIX THE SHIP!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAuXcrYnzpLV
His crew groaned, rolling on the floor like they’d been mortally wounded.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAagzjfGOhkx
"Ughhh, boss… We’re dying over here…"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAhSyUvHF4oT
Dudu squinted. “…YOU ASSHOLES WERE FAKING?!”
35Please respect copyright.PENANAc1vKwqWWyJ
The crew sprang up in perfect sync.
35Please respect copyright.PENANASwtBOyWfyV
"Sorry, boss!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANATxSOoi2JAK
Dudu facepalmed again.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAASaQcXnpQJ
Meanwhile, Eleo bolted toward the ship’s railing.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAxRsLylolNc
“Welp, time to go!”
35Please respect copyright.PENANAtIdGaYTdWM
He grabbed the demon girl mid-run.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAj79iuTk2DL
“Wha—WAIT, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!”
35Please respect copyright.PENANA6LzhnmmOem
They both jumped off the flying ship.
35Please respect copyright.PENANA0dcpzmqemX
Dudu, BK, Bo, and the entire crew ran to the railing and leaned over, staring down.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAV3Ydrqo3u8
Silence.
35Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ka0xOxu31
Bo scratched his head. “…I guess he didn’t wanna die alone?”
35Please respect copyright.PENANAF6tVZlCqae
The entire crew turned to look at him.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAkDBTlkU0Mo
A beat of silence.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAHltPKDCpDM
Then—
35Please respect copyright.PENANAbYAJOs7BMt
They all BURST INTO LAUGHTER.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAfraJbhHQkO
The entire crew collapsed onto the deck, rolling in laughter.
35Please respect copyright.PENANADYSnHzWVav
Dudu wiped away tears. "Alright, alright—somebody get the binoculars. Let’s see if the bunny actually survives."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAAXsZI5pKtM
Dudu snatched the binoculars from his crew and scanned the water below.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAUI4uuaDEwJ
Nothing.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAXVLeSx1wlU
No splashes, no floating bodies—just the vast, endless sea.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAIYzElsvDCP
He smirked, tossing the binoculars over his shoulder. "Welp, sucks for them. Guess they’re gonna drown. HA! Sucks to be them!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAnwTK8ycmxI
The crew burst into cheers.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAR18YiIpqeP
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!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANA40ftvLgbtG
The crew roared.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAjeGcQiuhdh
“YEEEAAAAHHH!!!”
35Please respect copyright.PENANAL739tjIBAh
BOOM!
35Please respect copyright.PENANAmu4pZkn3nU
The ship rocketed forward at ridiculous speed, disappearing into the sky like a shooting star.
35Please respect copyright.PENANA5PxbVAkRLo
Lilith sank deeper and deeper into the ocean, her long purple ponytail drifting like silk.
35Please respect copyright.PENANALcDyoXHDSj
Her eyes fluttered as she saw bubbles escaping her lips.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAyPJgyM3Bzh
(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—)
35Please respect copyright.PENANAAhrk1yHpvN
SPLASH!
35Please respect copyright.PENANAj9lGvRgXle
Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed her, pulling her onto a warm back.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAUeri1uemMV
Eleo kicked furiously toward the surface, holding her up.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAF7zuVyhXUj
Finally, they burst through the water, gasping for air.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAdJEGNQ0qRk
WHACK!
35Please respect copyright.PENANAmqpqzIRoYL
Lilith slapped Eleo HARD on the head.
35Please respect copyright.PENANApHaJZ8Lbkx
"YOU ASSHOLE! YOU ALMOST KILLED ME!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAmIMeWUMrD5
Eleo rubbed his head. "Ow! What the hell, jerk?! I just saved your life!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAaO535astDf
Lilith crossed her arms, shivering. "Maybe I wouldn’t have needed saving if you HAD A PLAN!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAG3OHHZqRJm
Eleo grinned and clapped his hands together. "Ink Bubble!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAKiCvSjlami
A large, floating ink bubble formed around them, lifting them just above the water.
35Please respect copyright.PENANALCPyermMUv
Eleo wiped his brow. "There! Now we don’t need to swim!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAWT89vU5FH8
Lilith narrowed her eyes. "…Why didn’t you do that in the first place?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAWIPaCeNmCT
Eleo blinked. "Uh… oh yeah. That would’ve been smart."
35Please respect copyright.PENANACO8MMYrSMn
Lilith facepalmed.
35Please respect copyright.PENANARVWtIZt1ds
Eleo stuck out his hand. "Anyway, I’m Eleo!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAWu41NOyPux
She hesitated before sighing. "Lilith."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAK34jJUOdxg
Eleo grinned. "Well, Lilith, I’m on my way to… uh… I dunno, really."
35Please respect copyright.PENANA0VHKCuPfBo
Lilith rolled her eyes. "There’s a town up north from here."
35Please respect copyright.PENANA5N2zcA1o0J
She hesitated, cheeks turning slightly pink. "And… thanks. For saving me."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAwcTDT34DYm
Eleo grinned wider. "No problem, Lilith!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAYYGxRoleiR
He stepped inside the ink bubble, testing its movement.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAQT9GfWgfrv
It floated forward with him.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAdJVeUVivZD
Eleo threw his fists in the air. "YESS! PERFECT!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAaaAEKjYVzU
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?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAK3YgSBkaOM
She pointed at a small abandoned pirate ship floating nearby.
35Please respect copyright.PENANATEqN19UjLS
Eleo shrugged. "You can use it if you want. I’ma stick with my ink bubble!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAsqDS6ZGdLt
Lilith groaned. "Are you serious? What kind of idiot prefers an unstable magic bubble over a perfectly fine ship?!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANADp3CnPRmSQ
Eleo nodded proudly. "THIS idiot!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAFhg6jVaEf1
Lilith sighed, rubbing her temples. "Fine. Then at least swim me over there—I can’t swim."
35Please respect copyright.PENANA9n2HEgmbTE
Eleo grinned. "Nope!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAi5p5lNUttu
Lilith stared at him. "…Are you serious?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAPqTwnFxN3F
Eleo hopped along the water in his ink bubble.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAn0xWmEhQr9
"La la la~! Ink bubble! Ink bubble! This thing is awesome!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAunL2jcTQLQ
Lilith sat inside the bubble, arms crossed. "I swear, I’m going to kill him."
35Please respect copyright.PENANASYj1ADidHh
Then—
35Please respect copyright.PENANARwRwFNKOK6
Eleo suddenly froze.
35Please respect copyright.PENANA1BflnyRT9o
His eyes widened in horror.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAkTxoMxpWOw
"OH NO!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAQW0lDI9sI8
Lilith snapped to attention. "What?! What happened?!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAVAwqkCnhj1
Eleo fell to his knees dramatically. "MY CARROTS! I FORGOT ABOUT THEM!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANArbWGMZzBrx
Lilith stared at him in disbelief.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAfYksx4BFX1
"…ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS?!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANACHCFoh4ujI
Eleo grabbed his ears. "THAT WAS MY ONLY FOOD! HOW AM I GONNA EAT NOW?!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAXvd6lY6MAJ
Lilith let out a long, exhausted sigh.
35Please respect copyright.PENANADzYG8gWb9l
She snapped her fingers.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAWV6CtZ8fsF
POOF!
35Please respect copyright.PENANATNVmYw47Ji
A fresh carrot appeared in her palm.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAKamJVCCMLm
Eleo’s eyes sparkled like the sun.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAb4vNAefRYl
"LILITH! YOU BEAUTIFUL GENIUS PRINCESS! THANK YOUUUU!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANA6xZlmuBeNE
He hugged her tightly.
35Please respect copyright.PENANA36FC2k8WCk
Lilith stiffened, turning red. "H-Hey! Personal space, idiot!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAnVFKPGOpt3
Eleo started chomping down the carrot. "Mmmm! So good!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANALFMtJcPvIz
As he ate, he suddenly noticed her horns and tail.
35Please respect copyright.PENANA8BLn5rsEuF
"Hey, Lilith, why do you have horns and a tail? Are you like a really hardcore cosplayer or something?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANALNJNfQOh3Y
Lilith exhaled deeply, pinching the bridge of her nose.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAo9PKZ1cLz7
"…I’m a demon, you moron."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAbLIQMLSqby
Eleo blinked.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAFIi6ILkbCa
"OH! That makes sense! …Wait, no, it doesn’t. What’s a demon princess doing locked up in a pirate ship?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAiXWyBFNj7z
Lilith crossed her arms. "Hmph. None of your business."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAsFwzGLXvpc
Eleo shrugged. "Oh well, at least you’re free now!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANA8GeRMdh45o
Lilith glanced at him, her expression softening just a little.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAGIsyn0CxSN
(He’s an idiot… but he did save me.)
35Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZDdKYL1Lf
Eleo stood proudly on his ink bubble, chewing his carrot.
35Please respect copyright.PENANABRnes56F1l
"Alright! Time for adventure!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAmHFj0qlNQ4
After a few hours go by the ink bubble drifted across the calm sea, carrying Eleo and Lilith toward their destination.
35Please respect copyright.PENANARwDiOGQnq4
Lilith crossed her arms, staring ahead. "We should be getting close now."
35Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZMCVfJbYV
Eleo was lounging inside the bubble, casually munching on another carrot. "Man, I hope this place has food. I’m starving."
35Please respect copyright.PENANARTQChUxcG3
Lilith sighed. "It’s called Burger Town. What do you think they sell?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAHO6gNtWE5r
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!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANA4PrQPB12wD
Lilith facepalmed. "It’s not literally made of burgers, you idiot!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAu7pU2gRoSI
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—"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAgR9DN9uFxF
BOOM.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAsqEFslfx6X
A sudden gust of wind hit them. The scent of smoke and ash filled the air.
35Please respect copyright.PENANABNvYSpcPpv
Lilith snapped her head forward, her eyes widening.
35Please respect copyright.PENANA1lCzEoRRui
Eleo blinked. "Huh?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAsk81fOVsZF
As their ink bubble reached the shore, they finally saw it—
35Please respect copyright.PENANAKhI3cyxpo5
Burger Town… completely destroyed.
35Please respect copyright.PENANACU7E4kP5Jv
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANADd1HcPkZLf
Eleo’s ears drooped. "Uh… I don’t think they’re selling burgers anymore."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAzLHYvXSWnZ
Lilith stepped forward, her eyes darting around in disbelief. "No… this can’t be right…"
35Please respect copyright.PENANA5myaoWrD96
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…"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAowchAmZeB4
Lilith ignored him. Her hands clenched into fists. "There were people here. Families. Kids." She looked around, her sharp eyes scanning for any survivors.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAVRmkW0mhOV
Then—
35Please respect copyright.PENANAzlW995Q8sS
CRUNCH.
35Please respect copyright.PENANApXErFxJ5Dg
Eleo stepped on something.
35Please respect copyright.PENANATr8VxqdJPl
He looked down… and froze.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAOQRsmB0R24
A shattered Toy bear… covered in blood.
35Please respect copyright.PENANARLOmpjXKCn
Lilith stiffened.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAZeOcBNRjnU
Eleo tilted his head. "Well… that’s probably not good."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAyrq6TPR9T3
Then—
35Please respect copyright.PENANAmOP6TbRNGz
A weak voice coughed from the rubble.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAjXg5r2JVZG
"H…Help…"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAfuoMuX1Hfh
Both Eleo and Lilith snapped their heads toward the sound.
35Please respect copyright.PENANA3V1GLdx9u9
A man, bloodied and barely conscious, was trapped under a collapsed wall.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAA37rLklqbc
Lilith rushed over, kneeling beside him. "Hey! Stay with me!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAJcloAC1m4F
The man slowly opened his eyes. "D… Demons… they… attacked…"
35Please respect copyright.PENANA5JnLwqSEyP
Lilith’s stomach dropped. "Demons?!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAqW6nHKuTzr
The man weakly grabbed her wrist. "They… were looking… for someone…"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAGoeDVqFQAw
Eleo scratched his head. "Oh? Who?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAzA1J8KdQMD
The man’s eyes flickered toward Lilith.
35Please respect copyright.PENANARdzPRebjeP
Lilith felt a cold chill run down her spine.
35Please respect copyright.PENANA21jnb9CUsf
Eleo raised an eyebrow. "Wait, wait, wait—are you saying those demons destroyed the whole town looking for Lilith?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAfsHjE39WJ7
The man gave a faint nod before losing consciousness.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAcPKyN12Ovw
Lilith’s fists clenched.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAAoWA2ErzcI
Eleo grinned. "Ooooh! Does this mean we’re gonna fight some demons?!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANA2OddeBEqaL
Lilith deadpanned. "This is NOT a good thing, you idiot!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANA5GxkDxg5t8
Eleo shrugged. "Still sounds fun!"
