Once more the crew found themselves on the Calm Belt travelling along and trying to avoid direct combat with the many Sea Kings that remain there.
However the more they wished to avoid such things, the more likely they were to appear and cause problems.
Many manned the cannons and begun to fire upon the small to medium sized Sea Kings that were getting close but they remained stubborn as they continued their pursuit.
One small Sea King had come almost in the direct path of the ship but some as it got closer, the cannon fire pushed it aside slightly.
As the ship was passing it, several people took this chance to attack its body.
An image of a larger Sea King manifested and began to overlook the smaller one, making it become intimidated and distracted enough to stop it from attacking the ship.
Shortly afterwards, one gunshot was fired from the side of the ship that pierced through its hard scales.
Ann looked at the gun in her hands with surprise.
The shotgun shaped gun was a modified type of weapon that increased the speed and power of whatever is fired with the assistance of a Breathe Dial but it also had another Dial built within which had more power called the Jet Dial
Usually she and Aizah would load cartridges filled with confetti and glitter to use in their concerts with the Breathe Dial but when using live rounds with the Jet Dial, it was much more destructive and was easily able to penetrate through the scales of the Sea King.
Aizah jumped up and began to use her skates to glide on the clouds created beneath her feet as she made her way around the Sea King under the cover of the illusions created by Ann.
She appeared by the head of it and fired towards the eye accurately destroying its eyes and making the bullet penetrate deep enough to be called a fatal wound.
The Sea King was knocked to the side and fell towards the ship but suddenly several small projectiles flew towards the side of the ship where it was falling.
Yvie shot several Pop Greens that formed into a circular trampoline plants and as the Sea King fell, its body was cushioned and began to bounce off it and fall away from the ship.
Before it could escape further damage, several seeds flew out towards its other eye and transformed into shuriken as they began to cut deeply into its eye and the side of its head severely wounding it further.
As it lay motionless as the ship passed by the body, the illusion began to dissipate and Aizah landed back on the ship.
The sound of clapping followed as a cheerful voice entered their ears. "Excellent job, it seems that your progress has not been slow during the time you have been away from me."
Alyssia stepped forward and praised them but she still kept up her vigilance as she looked at the sea around herself. "However it is too early to celebrate, we still have some that are still on our tails."
The ship continued forward without delay but further up in their journey, two medium sized Sea Kings were approaching from the both sides very quickly.
Everyone watched at Alyssia walked towards the front of the ship and jumped into the air with a staff in her hands and her newly modified boots and suit that wrapped around her body.
She had her hair tied back, the lower half of her face was blocked by a white scarf, her arms and legs were wrapped dressed in white leg warmers each secured by bands which slightly covered the metallic arm guard and greaves underneath.
On her body was a black sleeveless undershirt with a dark red over-shirt along with a white sash on her waist and black stretch pants.
What she was wearing was the completed version of her own costume and battle suit that had been prepared using the Germa 66 as reference to design it to allow her to resist various elements and gunfire but the design was inspired by Yoruichi Shihoin from Bleach with some slight adjustments to some small parts of the design.
As she jumped into the air her ERG2 began to help her with her Moon Walk allowing her to move quicker than what was possible before and the boosters at the back made her able to gain a larger burst of speed.
