Dudu sprang high into the air like a tightly coiled spring launching loose, his rainbow hair bouncing wildly.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA2UyZUrJprH
"BOING!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANApQh9wJJvHe
His leg coiled mid-air like a steel spring, then—
50Please respect copyright.PENANA1RSuBfS2YG
"SPRING DROP KICK!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAUKhWhAJJQg
WHAM!
50Please respect copyright.PENANAiMRNjSjdJM
Eleo blocked with both arms, skidding backward, his feet scraping the deck. The force nearly launched him off the ship.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAtJa4i2ZVGD
Eleo gritted his teeth. "Whoa—! Okay, ow. That kinda hurt."
50Please respect copyright.PENANAXjK1Z1M5YW
Meanwhile, the demon girl frantically searched the ship, flipping over barrels and crates.
50Please respect copyright.PENANARUNqnewtPw
"Ugh! Where the hell is a safe boat when you need one?!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAqhKn2JLRRn
Dudu landed back on the deck, stretching his shoulders.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAWeacFzAgRU
"Hey, Mr. Rat! You gonna help me or what?!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAWSRJOOiej8
Bo’s giant pet rat twitched its nose, then charged at Eleo with blinding speed.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAEJDo2q1YwK
SQUEEEEEEK!
50Please respect copyright.PENANApmbNDKn42Y
In four seconds…
50Please respect copyright.PENANAe1jpBcK9p9
BAM! SMACK! CRUNCH!
50Please respect copyright.PENANAVMdbeHmF3f
The rat was already on the ground, dazed, holding up a tiny white flag in surrender.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA7cIntZqgXX
The entire crew stared.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAvn0LicP8j7
Dudu’s jaw dropped. “…You gotta be kidding me.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAB2ULLIo3GM
The demon girl raised an eyebrow. “Seriously? That fast?”
50Please respect copyright.PENANA39qDunE7bt
Eleo dusted off his hands. “Huh. Guess I’m stronger than a rat.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAVMtYvQfSrt
Dudu facepalmed. “…No shit, idiot.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAh6jWkT0Icc
He flopped onto the ship dramatically, groaning.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAtLpNAdCUbV
Eleo cracked his knuckles. "Okay, my turn—INK!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAIfNm0fbXFw
He clapped his hands together.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAOXKVCFFWUA
His arms transformed into a massive black cannon.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA4hzBPgw2wh
"INK CANNON!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANANtIWxQBQ3A
BOOOOM!
50Please respect copyright.PENANAdnxZboKBx9
A huge black ink ball blasted toward Dudu.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAO9GKdHd39e
Dudu’s eyes widened. "CRAP—!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANACQc0cmy4ge
He instantly stretched his legs, making them ridiculously tall to dodge.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAUc3SC4xS0O
The ink cannonball sailed right past him.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAreIGrtfLZr
BAM!
50Please respect copyright.PENANA5th5liMeHx
It smashed into the ship's hull instead.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAn5vJFINBTc
Dudu’s face went pale. "Ah shit—"
50Please respect copyright.PENANA8BoQWKtYB7
The ship shook violently.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAUlAvukaKgF
Dudu blinked. "…Maybe I shoulda just let him hit me."
50Please respect copyright.PENANA51Nbe4OpHt
Dudu turned to his crew. "DON’T JUST STAND THERE, YOU LAZY BASTARDS! FIX THE SHIP!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAjCH4N1Wd2S
His crew groaned, rolling on the floor like they’d been mortally wounded.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAzIuJ8y2roD
"Ughhh, boss… We’re dying over here…"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAfTNPBIBnAk
Dudu squinted. “…YOU ASSHOLES WERE FAKING?!”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAM3H2OWw3aZ
The crew sprang up in perfect sync.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA2C3DYLNZeX
"Sorry, boss!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANA05R8hJU7a5
Dudu facepalmed again.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAuzmgE2NFw7
Meanwhile, Eleo bolted toward the ship’s railing.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA9T1BuzwAQW
“Welp, time to go!”
50Please respect copyright.PENANADs22iGbUlo
He grabbed the demon girl mid-run.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA9gFfaXitIF
“Wha—WAIT, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!”
50Please respect copyright.PENANALRasWS7HEU
They both jumped off the flying ship.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAb5EBDtyBL1
Dudu, BK, Bo, and the entire crew ran to the railing and leaned over, staring down.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAxbfY7C95oZ
Silence.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAgiV7KAFgOx
Bo scratched his head. “…I guess he didn’t wanna die alone?”
50Please respect copyright.PENANABxdD6PYXg2
The entire crew turned to look at him.
50Please respect copyright.PENANASOfVd5wP5q
A beat of silence.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAizunwyV0mk
Then—
50Please respect copyright.PENANA4p3nBXCaK1
They all BURST INTO LAUGHTER.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA8LiqWz5ml9
The entire crew collapsed onto the deck, rolling in laughter.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAIUc43FDWxJ
Dudu wiped away tears. "Alright, alright—somebody get the binoculars. Let’s see if the bunny actually survives."
50Please respect copyright.PENANAOqk2GeM1q8
Dudu snatched the binoculars from his crew and scanned the water below.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA6DZiBuQ0xC
Nothing.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAjR9r8mmpq1
No splashes, no floating bodies—just the vast, endless sea.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAHpNLs8PjGp
He smirked, tossing the binoculars over his shoulder. "Welp, sucks for them. Guess they’re gonna drown. HA! Sucks to be them!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAUCerGjVkco
The crew burst into cheers.
50Please respect copyright.PENANArmmMiFltGn
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!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAzsvYBBmBZY
The crew roared.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAcl0ySl8yZD
“YEEEAAAAHHH!!!”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAIOlBR5drWC
BOOM!
50Please respect copyright.PENANAFkfubpk7IP
The ship rocketed forward at ridiculous speed, disappearing into the sky like a shooting star.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAUlRBIVGCu8
Lilith sank deeper and deeper into the ocean, her long purple ponytail drifting like silk.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAklRANUPf7m
Her eyes fluttered as she saw bubbles escaping her lips.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAlDvB5IIo8J
(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—)
50Please respect copyright.PENANAB0Su0Zj264
SPLASH!
50Please respect copyright.PENANANFw5c11pbg
Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed her, pulling her onto a warm back.
50Please respect copyright.PENANArQ0VX3cQzI
Eleo kicked furiously toward the surface, holding her up.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAaGAMwcO3sW
Finally, they burst through the water, gasping for air.
50Please respect copyright.PENANALkt77jiQWY
WHACK!
50Please respect copyright.PENANAAa0xw3GDpr
Lilith slapped Eleo HARD on the head.
50Please respect copyright.PENANApqaHUfnhnn
"YOU ASSHOLE! YOU ALMOST KILLED ME!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAVBLqeC7g2R
Eleo rubbed his head. "Ow! What the hell, jerk?! I just saved your life!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANApX6n4zKb45
Lilith crossed her arms, shivering. "Maybe I wouldn’t have needed saving if you HAD A PLAN!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAWGiJu786IS
Eleo grinned and clapped his hands together. "Ink Bubble!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAz5kmc5E792
A large, floating ink bubble formed around them, lifting them just above the water.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAQALnl13EQL
Eleo wiped his brow. "There! Now we don’t need to swim!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAiQv8Juks8V
Lilith narrowed her eyes. "…Why didn’t you do that in the first place?"
50Please respect copyright.PENANA1IYZaBbQeV
Eleo blinked. "Uh… oh yeah. That would’ve been smart."
50Please respect copyright.PENANAGlwDwTYG34
Lilith facepalmed.
50Please respect copyright.PENANArI24LUM6uF
Eleo stuck out his hand. "Anyway, I’m Eleo!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAlitay3cN5E
She hesitated before sighing. "Lilith."
50Please respect copyright.PENANAY97g6SQZ4o
Eleo grinned. "Well, Lilith, I’m on my way to… uh… I dunno, really."
50Please respect copyright.PENANAxQdMm34XlT
Lilith rolled her eyes. "There’s a town up north from here."
50Please respect copyright.PENANAb6iRFhsZe8
She hesitated, cheeks turning slightly pink. "And… thanks. For saving me."
50Please respect copyright.PENANAemV9V8hUxJ
Eleo grinned wider. "No problem, Lilith!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAzbUPYSlxkJ
He stepped inside the ink bubble, testing its movement.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAqe3TZOZm7E
It floated forward with him.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAZqbT9wrPNm
Eleo threw his fists in the air. "YESS! PERFECT!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAe9PDmUscQh
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?"
50Please respect copyright.PENANA1MnoIur7ZH
She pointed at a small abandoned pirate ship floating nearby.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAKlLmVVYmji
Eleo shrugged. "You can use it if you want. I’ma stick with my ink bubble!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAXTIyAN1h0Q
Lilith groaned. "Are you serious? What kind of idiot prefers an unstable magic bubble over a perfectly fine ship?!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAkMWRhj72LQ
Eleo nodded proudly. "THIS idiot!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANADgRgYjgLS6
Lilith sighed, rubbing her temples. "Fine. Then at least swim me over there—I can’t swim."
50Please respect copyright.PENANAgZZQDzdyYM
Eleo grinned. "Nope!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANA8H4OvZQqqB
Lilith stared at him. "…Are you serious?"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAuXHMjdzAkN
Eleo hopped along the water in his ink bubble.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAywWrzy4XZQ
"La la la~! Ink bubble! Ink bubble! This thing is awesome!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANABXzcdwwmVk
Lilith sat inside the bubble, arms crossed. "I swear, I’m going to kill him."
50Please respect copyright.PENANAurZHxPnGYm
Then—
50Please respect copyright.PENANAuu2AoQtdGy
Eleo suddenly froze.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA2jnzFnXAWq
His eyes widened in horror.
50Please respect copyright.PENANABergJu27wG
"OH NO!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAFHvMoY7eMr
Lilith snapped to attention. "What?! What happened?!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAHvlKg1bbE7
Eleo fell to his knees dramatically. "MY CARROTS! I FORGOT ABOUT THEM!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANA3maV4IsGvz
Lilith stared at him in disbelief.
50Please respect copyright.PENANARezqEJ749x
"…ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS?!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAh4qjZ8GtpR
Eleo grabbed his ears. "THAT WAS MY ONLY FOOD! HOW AM I GONNA EAT NOW?!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAVYy1UNrhBN
Lilith let out a long, exhausted sigh.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAbvRtXeIFY1
She snapped her fingers.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAJxrev8VFZm
POOF!
50Please respect copyright.PENANAGafRp4lq8x
A fresh carrot appeared in her palm.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAHka7XmcOsE
Eleo’s eyes sparkled like the sun.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAyqBReuwfKK
"LILITH! YOU BEAUTIFUL GENIUS PRINCESS! THANK YOUUUU!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAxG7uNhIXq6
He hugged her tightly.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAcnqr0VvV7a
Lilith stiffened, turning red. "H-Hey! Personal space, idiot!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAxO4iNtXGiE
Eleo started chomping down the carrot. "Mmmm! So good!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAxKbCb4o8Q0
As he ate, he suddenly noticed her horns and tail.
50Please respect copyright.PENANARxU7iu2WkR
"Hey, Lilith, why do you have horns and a tail? Are you like a really hardcore cosplayer or something?"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAC0Tp9jYy0r
Lilith exhaled deeply, pinching the bridge of her nose.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAvkPnsNIXrp
"…I’m a demon, you moron."
50Please respect copyright.PENANAU01LGJDLi8
Eleo blinked.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA70n08Ts4wE
"OH! That makes sense! …Wait, no, it doesn’t. What’s a demon princess doing locked up in a pirate ship?"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAuZLffhXQWy
Lilith crossed her arms. "Hmph. None of your business."
50Please respect copyright.PENANADJe64iM4Gp
Eleo shrugged. "Oh well, at least you’re free now!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAp4l6B0WR7n
Lilith glanced at him, her expression softening just a little.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA6k62PQEjMH
(He’s an idiot… but he did save me.)
50Please respect copyright.PENANA3fmNzJn12e
Eleo stood proudly on his ink bubble, chewing his carrot.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAH1ZiJqmqXW
"Alright! Time for adventure!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAHGQQbIgE60
After a few hours go by the ink bubble drifted across the calm sea, carrying Eleo and Lilith toward their destination.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAg7WWZsQXyv
Lilith crossed her arms, staring ahead. "We should be getting close now."
50Please respect copyright.PENANAzx09OEQ6Xa
Eleo was lounging inside the bubble, casually munching on another carrot. "Man, I hope this place has food. I’m starving."
50Please respect copyright.PENANAF8sq2dD8fU
Lilith sighed. "It’s called Burger Town. What do you think they sell?"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAi57H2d6gWD
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!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANALb3CtuJgPm
Lilith facepalmed. "It’s not literally made of burgers, you idiot!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAJM9rDuXrhG
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—"
50Please respect copyright.PENANALNzljHm3Wt
BOOM.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA7KLXRnIni3
A sudden gust of wind hit them. The scent of smoke and ash filled the air.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAil6aTCLiHM
Lilith snapped her head forward, her eyes widening.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAJ56axBcooa
Eleo blinked. "Huh?"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4ooNzvAZi
As their ink bubble reached the shore, they finally saw it—
50Please respect copyright.PENANAAX6VZeL0Se
Burger Town… completely destroyed.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAvoI6FwLokf
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANApEGt226Z6v
Eleo’s ears drooped. "Uh… I don’t think they’re selling burgers anymore."
50Please respect copyright.PENANATcgIWRA5mT
Lilith stepped forward, her eyes darting around in disbelief. "No… this can’t be right…"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAN23EIRSm7f
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…"
50Please respect copyright.PENANA4j0FFx25eL
Lilith ignored him. Her hands clenched into fists. "There were people here. Families. Kids." She looked around, her sharp eyes scanning for any survivors.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAymc1IGSXju
Then—
50Please respect copyright.PENANAZddbxaSoX0
CRUNCH.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAAnjPwicrqu
Eleo stepped on something.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAruSR0eXXfA
He looked down… and froze.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3zV9QbdPk
A shattered Toy bear… covered in blood.
50Please respect copyright.PENANANiwAkzHLIE
Lilith stiffened.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAQFpOCNmMRQ
Eleo tilted his head. "Well… that’s probably not good."
50Please respect copyright.PENANAQYm2PmDr2d
Then—
50Please respect copyright.PENANAuEfilfp1JQ
A weak voice coughed from the rubble.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAEsZaaQQW1n
"H…Help…"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAMS72EsjKcA
Both Eleo and Lilith snapped their heads toward the sound.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAu96zQAarlG
A man, bloodied and barely conscious, was trapped under a collapsed wall.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAOVPNhbOU5f
Lilith rushed over, kneeling beside him. "Hey! Stay with me!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANA5UNKMo3mKG
The man slowly opened his eyes. "D… Demons… they… attacked…"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9PT2jCblJ
Lilith’s stomach dropped. "Demons?!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANA1DE58QjrYn
The man weakly grabbed her wrist. "They… were looking… for someone…"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAL7vqDh2Ddk
Eleo scratched his head. "Oh? Who?"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAWa8pkj85rL
The man’s eyes flickered toward Lilith.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAxA4wtX6paV
Lilith felt a cold chill run down her spine.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAIgxkp9mQgt
Eleo raised an eyebrow. "Wait, wait, wait—are you saying those demons destroyed the whole town looking for Lilith?"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAkcEbmIymq8
The man gave a faint nod before losing consciousness.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA1sHMXnxvGR
Lilith’s fists clenched.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAEJHj6AfuLa
Eleo grinned. "Ooooh! Does this mean we’re gonna fight some demons?!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAxM8iPLvVHW
Lilith deadpanned. "This is NOT a good thing, you idiot!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAfMnVa504Vk
Eleo shrugged. "Still sounds fun!"
