Sailing Is Not a One-Person Job / The Graveyard

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Huge bulges rose from the sea of clouds around both the sailboat ahead and the Freedom. They burst, scattering droplets that glittered in every color beneath the sun.

But the beautiful sight was ruined by several enormous Sky Fish of all shapes and sizes bursting out of them.

These Sky Fish were nothing like the one they had encountered in the tunnel. Each was as big as their ship, and one octopus-like Sky Fish spread its thrashing tentacles wide enough to blot out the sky.

"Oh..."

Kuta looked up at the Sky Fish blocking the sun and said with a teasing grin, "So this is the last hurdle before Sky Island? Haha! What a surprise!"

He licked his lips.

Gulp!

Everyone at the bow swallowed.

They had only just complained that the fish in the tunnel had not been enough to eat. Now, as soon as they arrived, more Sky Fish had delivered themselves right to their door.

Just then, A-Luo jumped down from the mast with a thud and landed on the foredeck. A chill flashed in his eyes as he looked at the Sky Fish around them. He drew Hell Hound and aimed at one that resembled an eel.

"Don't shoot!"

Ahua hurried forward to stop him before he could fire.

These were all delicious food!

He was not about to let that fool A-Luo ruin them.

They all knew how powerful Hell Hound was. One shot would blow a huge chunk out of a Sky Fish.

And Sky Fish were nothing like fish from the sea below!

Once killed, Sky Fish deflated. They looked enormous, but there was not much meat on them.

For big eaters like them, there was no telling whether even all these Sky Fish would fill their stomachs.
