After all of them looked inside the bottle. They stood back up and looked at the waves hitting the shore silently.
"Let me get that. It can be a good souvenir". Alex said and started walking towards the statue to retrieve the bottle.
As soon as he stepped close to the statue. His Haki flared and he backed off with a jump.
A laser penetrated the statue and literally blasted it to smithereens.
Four people landed in front of him. One of them was wearing a black suit with a large silver helmet with red eyes. The other three were wearing large maroon coloured armours.
"We-". Before the black suite guy could say anything. Alex rushed to him and punched his helmet. The guy flew back like a bullet.
Alex was using Spirit Force on his arms because the suits were quite powerful or he will not be able to deal with them.
'In the original, they gave quite the tough time to the other two'. He went all out as a precaution from the start.
Mera and Arthur were a bit dumbfounded. They didn't think that Alex would rush over and attack before the guy could even say anything. The routine was completely wring.
"What, I am not gonna let him talk when I see an opening". Alex shrugged his shoulders and looked at the guy's two companions.
They snapped back to reality as everyone engaged and took a combat stance. Although Arthur had a lot of openings in his.
The armoured Mermen shared a look as they charged at them. Arthur tackled one to the ground and started punching the merman again and again.
Mera conjured some water spears from the sea near them and fired them at the armoured guy with a lot of speed and power that made it very hard to counter.
Alex was observing everything with his Haki and he knew that the black armoured guy was still conscious and ran away from the place and he didn't confront them after Alex's initial attack.
Alex quickly came near the armoured guy as he clad his fingers in spirit force and plunged them straight into the visor of the helmet.
The fingers penetrated through the visor and plunged into the Merman's eyes. Effectively blinding him.
Then Alex kicked him while he let his Chi enter the opponents body through the broken part of the armour. This will overload the Merman's brain in a while and kill him.
Alex quickly took care of the unconscious bodies on the ground and threw them all into the sea before heading back to the duo.
"Now what?" He asked and looked at the two of them.
"Now, we wait for the night and leave for our destination". Mera took a deep breath and said seriously.
"Well since we are waiting for the night. Then let's go watch a movie for some entertainment and relaxation. Come follow me". Alex said as he led the way in the front.
The looked at each other and followed behind Alex. Arthur was fine because he has been to the Theatre before but Mera was intrigued. she didn't know what it was. This will be a new experience for her.
If not for her duty to quickly bring the back the True King of Atlantis. She would've enjoyed her time here. The Surface world wasn't as bad as she first thought.
They arrived at a big cinema hall as Alex walked in and saw the movies being aired on the billboards stuck on the walls.
Currently, Shrek was airing in the cinema and Alex was really intrigued by this. 'Hey, I never actually watched Shrek in the cinema in previous life. This is a good chance'. His eyes lit up when he thought about it.
"Three tickets of Shrek in the premium seats". Alex quickly went to counter and asked the clerk a bit eagerly.
"Is it a good movie?" Arthur asked as he saw Alex acting like this.
"You don't know. It's a blockbuster". Alex said while he looked at Arthur.
"I haven't been watching movies or the news lately". He shrugged his shoulders and laughed.
"Well, it's a really good movie. Let's go and watch this. Will be a good time pass". Alex said while waving the tickets and led the way inside.
They followed him in while Mera sat on his left and Arthur sat on his right. They made themselves comfortable with popcorn and drinks as they waited for the movie to start.
"This is a nice form of entertainment". Mera said happily as she looked at movie playing on the screen intently while enjoying her popcorn and drinks with gusto.
Arthur was also enjoying the movie. He focused his attention on the movie with a smile on his face.
Alex was half lying on the chair. He expanded the chair and made it like a half bed and enjoyed his popcorn while comfortably watching the movie.
They spent the time in the Cinema as they enjoyed the movie with Popcorn and drinks comfortably.
When they came out, it was already approaching dusk and soon it will be time to leave. So they were gearing up for the task.
"Let's grab dinner before setting sail". Alex said because he saw a good restaurant nearby.
"Yeah, I could sure use a bite". Arthur said while he patted his stomach like a glutton.
"I will like some as well". Mera nodded her head as they headed for the restaurant together.
"We will take some steaks with the best alcohol you got in store". Alex said and instructed the waiter.
The waiter bowed and quickly left to fulfil the order. His steps were quick and steady.
The food was bought in as the trio exchanged some words and plans. The food was tantalising and let off a very appetising steam.
They grabbed their fork and knives and quickly dig into the food.
"Delicious". Mera exclaimed while she ate the food with a lot of vigour.
Arthur and Alex both nodded their heads in agreement to her words.
After finishing their food and alcohol. Alex and Arthur burped contentedly as they relaxed on their chairs.
"Let's go and get boat for our ride". Mera said and quickly stood up.
"Okay, let's go". Alex nodded and stood up followed by Arthur.
