As the crewmates prepared the boat, the wind suddenly began to pick up. Waves crashed against the ship's hull, causing it to wobble dangerously. The ship shook violently, jolting the passengers and the crewmates.
Even Freya was thrown from her position, and had to grab the ship to stabilize herself. She knew that this violent shaking couldn’t have been caused by this wind, which although strong, was still not powerful enough.
Her concerns were proven true as a moment later a sailor shouted, “Kraken!!!”
The Captains heard his cry, and quickly shouted to his subordinates, “Prepare the cannons!! Take the harpoons and move to the deck!!”
The sailors rushed at his orders, half of them moving below the deck, while the other half grabbed long harpoons and rushed to the railings on the sides.
“Ready the cannons! Men at the ready!”
The sailors steadied themselves, as the ship continued to shake violently. Even Freya grew curios at what they were about to do.
