Anyone who has experience in sailing will be able to tell that the whistle-like cry comes from an adult imperial squid.

This ocean-dwelling behemoth has a temper that is completely opposite to its size, and is very timid, diving into the deep sea without any movement.

To put it simply, it is very cowardly.

Although they are often in the sight of sailors, they never attack passing ships.

As long as you don't anger this sea monster.

The deafening sound reached everyone's ears with the observer's terrifying cry, and then the Pioneer "jumped" abruptly.

Slammed back into the water, and the crew was smashed under the action of inertia.

Boom!

There was another muffled thud, and the Pioneer was once again pushed up by the Imperial Squid.

Holding on to the mast to prevent himself from falling out again, Ballard opened his mouth and yelled at Lena, who had rolled into a ball.

"Look what good you've done!"

Lina, who was in the state of the Lena ball, was a little difficult to reply normally, so Heine, who was also fixing herself, gave her the answer she wanted to say for her.

"The thing that was baked was the touch of the emperor squid...... Wow——! ”

I didn't finish talking because the Trailblazer "flew" again.

Fortunately, the Trailblazer's hull had been strengthened, and the Emperor Squid's bottom-up impact could not destroy her in a short period of time.

It wasn't until she flew six or seven times that Lena finally stabilized her figure.

- A home run for a dozen or so crew members by colliding.

"Can't blame me, I just fried a small one."

As soon as Lena retorted, not only Ballard and Heine, but even Captain Fisher, who was excited about the excitement of encountering something, no longer had that hearty smile on his face.

"So you're the cub who blew up the emperor squid?"

“…… Possible? ”

With a hard slap on the head, Heine's heart collapsed.

"Or roast the cubs in front of their parents......"

"Nope."

Shaking her head as if she remembered something, Lena retorted with a serious face.

"The smallest one is scorched and can't eat, and the other one is slightly larger."

Hearing this, Heine first shook for a moment, then covered his chest and was heartbroken.

"I finally learned the revenge of killing my son and taking my wife today......"

It was just a few people who could still idle in this situation, and the emperor squid stopped the attack on the Pioneer.

No longer slamming its massive body against the hull from below, and no other way to continue its revenge, as if giving up, the sea returned to calm.

Captain Fisher knew very well that it was impossible for the imperial squid to give up revenge, but since this gap had arisen, he naturally would not let the opportunity to escape slip away from his hands.

Enduring the pain in his body, he quickly got up and climbed to the rudder, and as soon as his hand touched the rudder, a thick tentacle appeared in his vision.

Thicker in diameter than the Trailblazer's mainmast, a large amount of seawater was carried to the deck by tentacles, and the huge suction cups fluttered rhythmically.

Not just one in front of him, but several thick, sticky tentacles appeared around the Pioneer at the same time.

They slammed straight into the deck, as if they were about to smash the Trailblazer to pieces.

Bang!

The eardrum-inducing explosion instantly echoed in the sky above the hull, and with this gunshot, the tentacle in front of Captain Fisher's eyes was instantly blown in two.

Gunfire rang out one after another, and the tentacles that were about to slap on the hull were shattered like the first.

Click!

The crisp sound of the steel striking drew Captain Fisher's eyes to the source of the sound, and the image of Ballard loading the gun in his hand became the centerpiece of the image in which the broken tentacles smashed down on the deck.

Screams of anger and pain came from the bottom of the sea.

Reloading the projectile, Ballard deftly climbed onto the mainmast using the cable.

Looking down at the underside of the Trailblazer, with a flick of his wrist, the muzzle of the "Winchester" lined up several small and large circles.

Gently pulling the trigger, the projectile was abruptly disemboweled, pushed by gunpowder.

Unlike when greeting Lena, the muzzle of the gun was not just a simple projectile, but a thick beam of light.

"Oh——! It's a humanoid Gundam! ”

"Shut up, you troublemaker!"

The ability to turn the Winchester M1887 into a beam rifle is a tribute to the mystery of magic, but even more worthy of praise is that Ballard's shot accurately hit the vital point of the imperial squid that attacked them.

The beam of light entered the water, and the explosion was stirred into the air in addition to the sea water and the ink as black as carbon ink.

The broken tentacle quickly sank into the sea, and the huge shadow of the emperor squid disappeared into the blackened water.

Without giving Captain Fisher time to froze and sigh, Ballard shouted at him.

"Don't be stunned! Get out of here! ”

The loud reminder reminded the captain of his duty.

Raising his hand and slapping the auxiliary propulsion button, he beckoned the crew to do their job while controlling the Pioneer to slowly sail away from the sea.

It is possible that the wounded Emperor Squid will continue to take revenge on its "enemies", but Captain Fisher knows that it is no longer the Emperor Squid that needs to be worried about at this time, but another sea beast.

As the captain had guessed, the Imperial Squid resumed its revenge after a moment of stealth.

This time, instead of making a direct appearance, it accelerated towards the Trailblazer.

The impact of its sheer size makes it undoubtful that it only takes one hit to capsize the Trailblazer in the middle of the ocean.

Winchester was reloaded with Ballard's ammo, and seeing this, Lena stopped fishing and stood on the side of the ship ready to cast the spell.

Just as the two of them were about to attack together, a huge arc rose upwards from the original position of the emperor squid, and then, the movement comparable to the city-breaking cannon brought a monstrous wave.

In the midst of the huge waves, a sea creature that was larger than the emperor squid rushed out of the sea.

Before that huge mouth, the huge body of the emperor squid instantly turned into a small existence, and with just one bite, it was swallowed by the terrifying giant beast.

"Uh-huh......"

Subconsciously, Heine let out a shocking exclamation.

Captain Fisher, on the other hand, frantically flapped the acceleration button as if he had seen a ghost.

There was no longer an expectation of excitement on his face, and at this moment, all that was left was the fear of inexplicable appearance.

It was unclear why Captain Fisher had suddenly behaved like this, but even if he did, he didn't bother to ask.

Because all he can think about now is how to stop Lena.

- The head of his family, who has an abnormal brain, now wants to taste the flesh of the deep sea demon whale.
