(POV Norman)

{RECAP}

*KKKKKKKKKKUUUUUUUUUUUUUU*

"What in the…" The sea king started changing its colors from white and black to ocean blue with green stripes catching me of guard at the spectacle of color.

Taking the opportunity, the creature spewed a wave of reddish purple ink at me blinding me and trapping with its surprising stickiness.

(Shit I forget about the ink!) I screamed mentally as I felt myself crash into the oceans cold deep and no longer felt my sword in my grasp.

*

*

*

(WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS MADE OF, TAR?!) I panicked blindly literally and figuratively as I tried wriggling myself out the inky sludge but then…

*SNAP*

*SNAP*

I paused for a moment before I panicked once more with even more might realizing what happened.

(CRAP IT BROKE FREE!) I tried escaping the inky sludge only to fail but it was slowly loosening its constraint over me due to the sea water dissolving it finally letting me see.

*KKKKRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUU*

Feeling its roar reverberate through the water several meters away I continued struggling before finally breaking free.

(AIR!!!) I ignored the bullish octopus charging at me and swam towards the surface although my movements were still slowed because of the inks remnants.

 *KKKURURURURURURURU!*

I tried swimming as fast as I could, feeling the current behind me become more rampant.

(Just keep swimming just keep swimming, swimming swimming-)

*KKKKKKKKKKKKRRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUU*

I dodged a swipe from its tentacle but unlike when I was on the surface a few minutes dodging it with ease, I was underwater which meant I got caught by the current of the swipe drifting me off course.

(DAMNIT YOU BLASTED OCTOPUS LET ME BREATH AIR IN PEACE!) I screamed mentally as I almost reached the surface.

*KKKKKKKKKRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAA*

Just as I stretched my arm for the surface the sea king yanked me back down into the depths of the sea.

(Fuck I didn't want to resort to this…) I struggled to think as I lethargically pressed the un-equip button of the armor making it sink.

Feeling the shackles restraining me now removed I quickly transformed into a Giggi.

(Welp I am now blind but at least I can finally breathe now…)

I sarcastically remarked mentally as my sense of sight was now nonexistent so was my nose but at least I could breathe from my skin.

{Giggi's are basically just giant leaches so it'd make sense for them to be able to breathe underwater since leaches can breathe underwater}

(Sigh… as much as I love breathing air, transforming into a Giggi would lower my physical stats down to a measly 10 same would go for any hybrid transformation…)

(Now let me just…) knowing it was only a matter of seconds until the sea king would realize where I was and I'd be attacked.

I steeled my mind as I took a deep breath before quickly transformed into a zenith Crotos and blitzing out the water.

Once I got out the water my eyes were blasted with light blinding me for the third time today but I didn't care for that.

Without even stopping to regain my sight I kept on flying up not wanting to get attacked while I was vulnerable.

"Ah air how I missed you my dear friend~" Pure bliss was plastered on my face as a regained my eyesight and I could breathe without worry.

*KKKKKKKRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAA*

(Now to finish this bastard once and for all…) I looked down at the ocean watching as the sea king looked for my whereabouts ignorantly slamming its tentacles everywhere angrily.

*Deep Inhale*

With a burst of speed, a badass form, performance enhancers/drugs and a fuck ton of adrenaline in my veins I zoomed towards the sea king.

(Ah not this shit again…)

Noticing my presence, the stupid octopus shot even more blobs of ink at me but I was able to dodge them fairly easy in this form.

I then spat out a small cloud of freezing gas confusing the sea king as I stealthily swopped in right behind it.

Once close enough I latched onto the back of its noggin and made a gash that reached the outer layer of its skull surprised it even had one.

{Before any of you get confused as to why an octopus has bones well remember when the Strawhats were descending to fish man island and they fought that big ass octopus? Well when Zoro cut its tentacle there were bones inside, but I might be wrong and I was just seeing things too so just take this knowledge as it is! It's one piece so who cares!}

*KKKKKRRRRRRRRAAAAAAA*

With the burst of pain the sea king went on a rampage trying to get me off by attacking me with its tentacles only harming itself in the process.

*Swish x4*

Then with a short flurry of slashes from my wing I made an opening to its brain and the beast's rampage became worse as it swam under water only to quickly jump out in pain from the sea water contacting his brain.

I then released a stream ice breath at its exposed brain making it scream out in pain as it continued its attempts to get me of while spasming.

*KKKKRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAA*

{You could say he gave it 'Brain freeze'! get the pun?}

(This shithead is still going?!) Going the extra mile, I started ripping out chunks of the brain by either using my wing's claws or mouth before entering the brain and moving around as much as possible.

*KKKKKRRRRRRAAAAAA!!!!….kkkrraaaaa-...*

Sensing the creature died I struggled to get out its brain before hovering over the body of the sea king as I watched my deceased foe sink.

"You were a though nut to crack, but in the end still I cracked you! In honor of our fight I'll name you…Dave, Yeah Dave the fucking octopus!" Crazy from exhaustion I joked to myself and tiredly landed on shore.

*Thud*

*Splash*

"…" I laid there silently and unmoving as the gentle waves of the ocean splashed onto me every few seconds.

(Damn it that 500000 berry did not do good to Dave's name, he should've at least be worth 700000 berries…. But damn was that a good fight, I think that the first time I ever saw a sea king as smart as Dave!) I looked back at the fight recalling the clever attacks Dave pulled on me like that vortex pull he did.

"This clears up my suspicion… That book was a fucking scam!" I screamed scaring away some seagulls as I quickly rose my back.

(A sea kings intelligence does differ from specie to specie and not determined by the sea it inhabits!) I angrily recalled an expensive world government issued book about sea kings I bought and almost all the information on that thing I've used up until now has been a lie!

*Sigh*

(There no point sulking about it now that merchant already left for north blue a week ago… At least I got a catalog of different sea king species…) I sighed as I got up and took a small sip of a potion before stripping down to my underwear.

"Time to retrieve the body and my stuff!" I yelled turning on the night vison of a normal Cortos as I dived into the sea.

Forty minutes later…

I laid on shoreline unbothered as fire crackled in front of me and an enticing aroma entranced the air.

(Stand proud Dave you were strong…. But now rejoice, for you are my lunch…) I watched as skewered strips of Dave the bull squidopus's flesh sizzled against the fire with the rest of the butchered blood soaked body a meter away from me.

(And you seemed to attract animals too…) I looked to my left and saw a small mound of dead wolves that tried attacking me for Dave's body.

*Twig snap*

"Ah, and so another joins the fray…" I looked behind me expecting more wolves but I never expected this.

*Bear growls*

I watched as a bear two times my size loomed its way out the forest on its hind legs staring at my bounty like it was a slice of cake.

"Oi, Paddington get out of here unless you want to get cooked!" I stood in front of the thing with clear irritation as I took on a hybrid from of a Maccao.

Reddish pink scales emerged all over my body with the scales and on the top of my hand turning large and brown, vibrant green feathers sprouted throughout most of my body along with a few yellow ones on my head, my muscles grew more compact and stronger, and last of all I grew a bludgeon like tail.

{Basically that but human wearing a tank top and pants}

*RRRROOOOOOOOOUUUUUUU*

The bear let out a bellowing roar as it charged forward.

"*Sigh* I warned you…" I quickly leapt in to the air and spun in a circle letting my tail bash onto the side of the bear's head.

*ROoouhhhhhhoo* With the blunt impact rendering it stunned and fall to the ground failing to control its charge.

Seeing the opportunity, I kicked it head making it even more dazed.

*rrrrooUugHhgGGHhhhh…*

With another opening I grabbed its lower and upper jaw and split it open 2005 King Kong style.

*GRrrrrro—uughhh!*

The beast tried letting out another roar as it pushed me off only to let out a distorted gurgling wail of pain while coughing blood.

"Now fuck off into the afterlife…" I jumped onto his shoulders before I twisted its head killing it.

"Well I'll be stacked for a while with these kills…" I looked at the bodies of my prey with satisfaction as I paid no mind to the bear corpse next to me and turned the skewers.

"What should it be now that 16 wolves and a bear are to be sold with Dave's bounty so...hahahaha that should almost be a million!" I cheered to myself merrily as I transformed back and continued to watch the meat cook.
