This was somewhere in the ocean.
A school of fish swam through the seawater. There were many species among them—Yellow Croaker, flatfish, sardines, White Croaker, Pacific saury, and others—all fairly common fish in northern waters.
It was autumn. The fish had begun eating heavily to build up energy for the winter.
This school was no exception, making this part of the sea exceptionally busy.
With the fish eating much more than usual, and the water temperature gradually falling, their metabolisms slowed, causing their weight to increase significantly.
Thus,
Every fish in the school looked round and plump.
These tempting "delicacies" naturally attracted the attention of predators.
A torpedo-like figure appeared in the waters.
It was a tuna, one of the predators of the sea, with a crescent-shaped tail.
It had its eyes on the school ahead. This two-meter-long tuna's eyes glimmered with greed.
It suddenly charged forward at incredible speed, instantly reaching 160 kilometers per hour.
This explosive acceleration was one of its most important hunting skills. It allowed the tuna to charge into the school before most of the fish even realized what was happening.
Thus, many of the smaller fish became the tuna's food.
However, just as the tuna had secured a bite to eat, an Orca suddenly lunged over and clamped down on it. The two marine predators then engaged in a fight to the death.
A moment later, the Orca gained the upper hand, and just as it thought it was about to enjoy a feast,
suddenly,
a huge mouth bit down from behind, biting both it and the tuna in half.
The currents in the surrounding waters then began moving unnaturally. The seawater pushed the mangled bodies of the two predators, along with countless fish, into that gaping mouth.
The mouth closed. Nether Fish's eyes
