"Boss!" A man holding a tablet and wearing a monocle ran over from some unknown corner, shouting excitedly, "That part was amazing! It portrayed you as incredibly charismatic. It's perfect for advertising our aquarium!"

With a wave of his hand, a small drone swooped down from above and landed precisely on his arm. Below the drone, a camera was mounted. Just now, this man had used the drone to remotely film the entrance of the Gang Orca.

Without much consideration, the Tottori Prefecture had already agreed to his filming. After all, it was also a way to promote Tottori Prefecture. In the eyes of the government, which was determined to preserve the desert even if it meant cutting down trees, this was a rare opportunity.

So the two sides hit it off and decided to use a surprise attack to capture the public's true reaction. Of course, the Gang Orca would compensate the frightened people afterward.

"Boss, everything was fine up to this, it's just that last part..." The person reviewing the footage frowned, "That leopard-headed guy is getting in the way, ruining the momentum of the earlier part. Also, the way those men peeked out at the end, panting, looked so pathetic, people will laugh at them."

"You can decide for now." The Gang Orca didn't look at them, its gaze fixed on the rabbit on the opposite dune. "I'm leaving first. You're in charge of negotiating with the tourists."

As the Gang Orca drove away, his men shouted in unison, "Understood!"

At this point, someone suggested, "The boss's part is fine, how about we reshoot a segment?"

"Everyone on the beach has run away, how can we reshoot? Maybe we should use special effects, cutout technology, or Photoshop," the person recording replied.

"No way! If we cut out the image, we won't be able to show off Big Brother's brilliance and might. Absolutely not!" The white-haired pen holder, a staunch supporter of the Gang Orca, resolutely refused.

"So what can we do now?"

Just when they were at their wits' end, a business genius pushed up his glasses and said, "Isn't the previous part usable? We can turn the scene of our leader walking across the sea into a GIF, add a majestic line, and put it in the bottom right corner of the browser to play repeatedly, achieving a brainwashing effect and letting everyone who uses the internet know about our leader's majesty!"

"Genius!" "Great idea!" "Let's do it!"

Gang Orca's underlings all agreed to this method. As a result, half a month later, Gang Orca's phrases such as "Scumbag Orca" and "If you're a brother, come and chop me up" became widely circulated on the Internet, and Gang Orca's ranking on the leaderboard even rose by a few places.

Of course, that's a story for another time.

"You've come."

"I am coming."

You shouldn't have come.

But I still came.

The rabbit sighed, pointed at the Gang Orca with a confident smile, and said, "Let me tell you, even if you come, no matter what tricks you play or what schemes you pull, the most popular performance at this festival will definitely be us!"

The Gang Orca was stunned. "What are you talking about?"

"Huh?" The rabbit was also taken aback. He scratched his head and said, "Didn't you come here to compete with me for the title of most popular program?"

"No, I get it now. You're putting pressure on me, telling me you're determined to win this award." Rabbit then sneered, "I admit your entrance was impressive, but in my opinion, it was all show and no substance, far inferior to our program!"

The Gang Orca, too lazy to waste any more words with the rabbit, turned to look at Jilan, scrutinized Jilan for a moment, and then said, "I've never seen you before. You're a newcomer to the rabbit zoo, aren't you? Whatever your true form is, I want you to... that rabbit is coming back."

"Hey! I'm right here, who are you talking to!" The rabbit hopped over to Jilan's side, affectionately wrapping its arms around his neck and looking defiantly at the Gang Orca. "You just want to say that Isana is causing trouble again, right? Do you think everyone doesn't know that?"

"Does the Gang Orca know Isana?" Jilan was taken aback upon hearing this.

That makes sense, since they are both toothed whales, it's not impossible that they know each other or are even brothers.

Generally speaking, the variations in Quirk traits are passed down from generation to generation within a family, but some Quirk traits can also be mutated. For example, in the case of Tsuyu Asui's family, her father's Quirk is "Toad" and her mother's Quirk is "Frog". Although Tsuyu Asui's Quirk is named "Frog", it is actually a species called "Rain Frog".

Therefore, it's not impossible that Orcinus and sperm whales are actually brothers; Jilan has already imagined a dramatic sibling rivalry. So, what role does the rabbit play in all of this—the prey?

The Gang Orca had maintained a serious expression the whole time, showed surprise. "You mean, Isana is back? Impossible, I didn't smell his scent at all in the nearshore waters!"

"Why do you look so surprised? Don't try to fool me with this act." Although Rabbit said this, his expression turned serious. He shook Jilan's shoulder and gestured to the Gang Orca, "It's my employee. On his way to I-Island on a cruise ship, he encountered Isana in some area of Pacific Ocean. He tried to kidnap her to threaten me, but because my top employee has mastered my skills, he only needed a few moves to completely defeat Isana, knocking her back to her original form, and she disappeared without a trace!"

As Jilan listened to the principal spouting nonsense, his veins throbbed.

He told the headmaster that Isana was driven away by the powerful captain, and that his role in the incident was barely more significant than that of a peanut. But how did the headmaster come up with the story that Isana was no match for him and was beaten and fled in disarray? Even if it's bragging, you shouldn't exaggerate like that. Does he think he's All Might?!

What troubled Jilan even more was that the Gang Orca seemed to actually believe the zookeeper's nonsense, scrutinizing Jilan intently. "You have the aura of Isana on you. I believe you've encountered him before, but you didn't seem very strong. How could you defeat him? Could it be that he's already been encountered by that person and has become extremely weak?"

Upon hearing the Gang Orca repeatedly mention that person, Jilan suddenly remembered a sentence he had long forgotten. He reached out and pushed away the zookeeper's arm, saying earnestly, "I suddenly remembered something. Before I became a sperm whale, Isana once told me something: 'Let me tell you, that person won't let him go, and he definitely won't let you go either.'"

"That person..." the rabbit muttered to itself, clutching its head and twisting it back and forth. Finally, it let out a loud shout, "Ah! I know! Come find me, I'm right here!"

After the rabbit's cathartic shouts, he lowered his hands from his head and said seriously, "Gang Orca, tell me what you want to tell me."

"Aren't you going to run away?"

The rabbit gave a wry smile, "Where can I run to?"

Gang Orca nodded. "Alright, let's find a secluded place, and I'll tell you everything."

Jilan felt he might have touched on something crucial. He smiled and took a step back, saying, "Then I won't disturb you any longer."

Although Jilan was eager to know some things, he preferred to investigate secretly on his own rather than be forced onto a pirate ship with no future.

"Wait!" The rabbit hopped in front of Jilan, blocking his way with a malicious smile. "You're an important certification for us, you can't leave."
