Chapter 45 - Sea King, vomiting out a Person?

"Jeez, I didn't think that inside of this big fish would be a huge space for food. This is the first time I experienced this kind of thing, what a thrilling moment!" Pate said while he walked in the swamp-like environment as his knees were submerged in the water.

Pate was interestingly looking here and there, touching there and here that almost made PB frown in annoyance.

"Wow, there they are! so huge space that even hundreds of these freeloader fish almost take a negligent space. Would they be digested after an amount of time passed by? Or would we, what do you think PB?" Pate murmurs as he looks at this shark size fishwheels and fishes welcome him as they gather around him "Okay, I don't have meat with me today. You can go now!"

"Can you at least act like you are in the stomach of a Sea King and mind your appearance!" PB yelled at him in annoyance.

"What? I'm just curious, what's the problem?" Pate said while he shrugged his shoulders then he felt the coldness deep in his soul and looked down unconsciously, finding out that the leaves short that he made were gone. "MY SHORTS!"

The Fishwheel Sea King immediately departed the place after Pate and PB got into his mouth but as he successfully distanced himself to the bubble area, a massive current ensued in the surrounding space that created a suction that pulled every creature in the vicinity.

The Fishwheel Sea King swings its big tail hastily to fight back the pulling force and inside of it where Pate, PB, and the hundreds of infant fishwheel feel the impact of the eruptions.

"The bubble, it was destroyed!" Pate hold to the flesh wall in his side as he tried to sense the collision of shock outside.

But he couldn't help but lament a little as he remembered the remains of the villagers, he felt the tremendous impact of that explosion. It was so powerful that everything inside of the bubble would be crushed into sand.

Except for the hard bone manes of the fishwheel ancestors' remains, it's so hard that even its death not a single scratch could be seen in it.

PB feel the happenings outside and it could help but to silently offer his gratitude to the fishwheels' race 'I'll live on my own journey now'

As the fishwheel started to feel the exhaustion after battling the sucking pressure that pulling him in the center of the explosion and out of expectations, the coercion was gone instantly which made the huge fish throw himself forward.

And in a second, a mighty repelling impact pushed the Sea King that inflicted an internal injury that a considerable red mist of blood gushed out of its mouth and its eyes closed as it fell to an unconscious state.

"Woah, urghhh!" Pate loses his balance and falls into the water with a splash, trying to stabilize himself. He looks around just to see the panicked infant fishwheels.

"Pate, the fishwheel sea king is injured." PB yelled at him and he saw how the clear water was tinged to pale red as a smell of fishy blood fermented in the air "It might be the impact of the concentrated force that exploded in the bubble and the impact traveled throughout the body of the Sea King."

Bending to touch the flesh under the water, Pate used his healing skills that integrated with the black cat tattoo on his back that glinted with dark light.

A green glow of light enveloped the Sea King as the massive vitality was scattered to every flesh of it, Pate felt how his years of saving up energy started to plummet. "This is the payment for saving and giving us a ride, big fish."

"Hahahaha! Captain, we harvested a big amount of money this time." the pirate with visible blood in his hand was laughing in a cheerful mood as the other pirates in front of them were lifting the bulk treasure chest inside of Captain's room.

The captain looks at his massive wealth that they ransack in a merchant ship then killed every single person in there, he even set the merchant ship into the fire "With this, we can buy a new and large ship ahahaha! and we will recruit so we can dominate this piece of area ahahahaha, we will feast tonight, boys!"

The Captain's words made the crew cheer in joy as they energetically fastened their work but all of them were knocked to their place where a massive star-shaped head of a Sea King resurfaced beside their ship.

The whole crew and even their captain who was in the ground sitting didn't even make a sound as their ship looked like a tiny pebble beside the sea king covering them with an enormous shadow.

Sweat or a splash of seawater was flowing in every person in the ship but didn't dare to wipe it out or even breathe loudly, scared to get the attention of the monster.

A shrill voice sounded like a whale as it opened its jaws and every pirate closed their eyes and covered their ears as they endured the pain, thinking they would die this time for sure.

but the death they were awaiting didn't come but a cheerful voice resounded in their ears "HAHAHAHAHA! FRESH AIR, BREEZE OF THE SEA, AND BLUE SKIES. I AM BACK! AHAHAHAHA!"

And when they look ahead they see a teenager floating above the humongous fish, with long black hair scattering through the wind as it stretches both arms trying to feel the breeze of the wind and he is buck naked with a thin shroud of mist enveloping him.

"T-this person came out of the big fish's mouth?" a crew couldn't help but comment on the side in which some of them nodded in agreement.

"Hey, at least show some decency you brat!" Pate's joyous expression, frown and look at his shoulder where PB was clinging to "What there isn't anyone here anyway"

"There are, look to your right. Idiot!" PB's tail moved as it sways and pointed to his right side and he looked to find that there was really a pirate ship where its people were sitting and looking in his way.

"What are you looking at, you didn't see a man's jewel and cannon in your life?" Pate shouted at them and he looked back at the Sea King who was starting to submerge in the sea "Big Fish, Thank you!"

PB watched the sea king until it was gone and he sighs, looking at the brat again who is still waving goodbye,

Thanks to this brat he, an ethereal will is not bound anymore to his true body - the Underwater forest.

He is bound to be with this annoying brat but still, an inexplicable excitement was boiling inside him, to see the mysterious world "What are you going to do to these annoying pirates?"

"Well what else, they needed to be erased. Their souls are full of hostile thoughts of those they killed but we must determine what year and day today, we are almost left by the world." Pate said and he clenched his fist and he found that he kinda felt unfamiliar with his body and was shocked to find he had grown up "PB look at me, I am much taller!"

"Ow, yeah, now that I think about it. You did, is this connected to the mystery of the bubble?" PB looked at him full of doubt.
