All of Gloppy's slimes transformed into humanoid slimes, and the trio of his generals had their attires changed.
Their naked bodies soon were covered in pirate robes made out of their own slime, acting as their skin and clothing at once, the only difference between them was their colors, as one was green, the other blue, and the last was red.
"What do you think you are doing!? Get to the cannons!"
In an instant, the red slime general screamed at her underlings.
"Su?"
"Susu!"
In a hurry, they listened and ran downwards to load up the cannons to blast the tentacle away. While that happened, Leo made his way up the ladder.
Both he and Gloppy looked in shock as the slimes fully controlled the ship without their input thanks to the trio of strategists.
"Yehaw! Get it up, boys!"
A group led by the green one was pulling the anchor up and the sails down. At the same time, the blue girl talked to a few of the red's minions.
"No cannonballs... oh what to do! Uuh just go and load them up with anything you find... and don't tell my sister."
A barrage of trash that the slimes put into the cannons hit the tentacle, staggering it for a moment.
Shivers went down Gloppy's slimy spine before he ran straight to the helm, some sort of instinct took him over and the moment he put his hands on the steering wheel a skill activated.

Even though there was not one cloud in the sky, a strong wind current picked up the sails and launched the galleon forward.
The cannonball barrage barely held back the monster's tentacle from attacking before it started to fade away.
"Captain! Get a medic here right now!"
"You idiots! Catch the pirates, we can't let them take Blackbeard away from us. Think what the other HQs will think."
It was way too late now as their galleon moved way too fast for them, a chase would be inefficient as well since they couldn't compete with that speed.
"Who is the closest Sea God?"
She asked one of the marines closest to her, a great sense of urgency in the words. He quickly took out a map and checked the terrain around them.
"The closest would be... Saint Iceberg, Captain."
After hearing that, she sighed loudly and sat down to wait for the medic to patch her up.
"Then we don't need to lift a finger."
***
Once Leo made sure no one was chasing them, he went towards the slime strategists. As he got closer the trio saluted at him.
"Aye aye, Captain!"
To his surprise, even the red slime was showing him respect, and he thought that she would be the hardest to talk to.
"Do you three have names?"
They shook their head, frustrating the summoner a bit, but not at them, it was not their fault for being unnamed.
"Why did you not name them?"
He shouted towards Gloppy at the Helm, then frowned when he saw how busy he was with steering the ship.
"Sapphire, Emerald, Ruby."
Each one of them looked happy in their way, but there was someone who didn't like his naming skills.
"Why did you name me something so lame and them something so cool!"
"Gloppy is a great name mind you!"
Their screaming woke up the old man from his slumber.
"Both of you shut up! My head is killing me."
He stood up and looked at the weird way the ship moved.
"Oh my Neptune, if I had an ability like that, no one would ever catch me... could I try it?"
Blackbeard pointed towards the wheel, clearly excited to steer a ship after so long. Without hesitation, the Slime Overlord traded places with him.
"Can you steer us towards the island where you want to die?"
"Of course, I know those waters like the back of my hand kid."
The two of them sat down to talk about what had happened so far, thinking that they would be able to relax if even for a moment. As Gloppy was about to speak, an enormous Sea Serpent hit its head against their vessel.
"Hahaha One small thing I forgot to mention, those seas are filled with monsters."
Leo clicked his tongue and materialized the Hellbat staff in one hand and the spirit sword in the other.

The Serpent jumped high into the air, slamming onto the ship with its heavy body and damaging the place where it landed.

A Barrage of Hellbats shot at the snake, barely scratching its tough scales. At the same time Gloppy commanded his slimes to try piercing its skin with anything sharp they found.
Leo swung his sword with as much might as he was able to put out, creating a shockwave wide enough to make the Serpent look small in comparison.
However, it only scratched the surface of the creature's skin, as it wriggled in nothing more than discomfort and jumped back into the sea, leaving a small trial of blood behind.
"We barely survived..."
Gloppy said while commanding the slimes together with the generals to fix up the ship.
'Barely survived... huh?'
"I didn't come here to barely survive. There is no way we will be strong enough at this rate."
He calmly walked towards the side of the ship, staring down at where the beast ran off. An endless abyss that he would not be able to survive in, nor was he planning to.
With a small cut to his wrist, blood poured down into the water, attracting back the sea serpent.
|Master Leo don't do this!|
RAAAAGH
The monster came back, sensing the blood and unable to resist its taste. It jumped up again, but this time was met with a rather hard snack as the summoner fell down its throat.

Inside him, the feelings of inferiority and urgency boiled over as he started slashing. Due to the skin being weaker on the inside, he was finally able to start getting good hits in.

Realizing what the human was trying to do to it, the beast tried to jump back into the water but was prevented by a cascade of attacks from the summon army.
Barrages of fireballs of Hellbats and an immovable quantity of slimes held it in place.
Slash
Leo's blade pierced the monster, reaching outside and making him cry out in pain. Using its stupidity and pride against itself he killed a beast over twice his level.

"All of you listen!"
He shouted towards his army, frustration visible on his face as he spoke.
"We are not here to survive... we are here to THRIVE!"
[Leo Astralis - Level 18]
All of his summons made sounds of cheer, be it squeaking or repeating the one word they knew.
Clap... clap... clap
Slow clapping came from the Helm as Blackbeard looked at him with a mischievous grin on his face.
"You might have killed one... but now you angered the rest."
