381 Run, Fool! That day, so many Cleaners died. The little creatures' dying shrieks filled the entire lake, yet they didn't retreat even once. To them, a feast was worth dying for! They cleaned the entire place of its "Residue of the Deep", turning the whole place upside down. They were unstoppable! The citizens of Mermaid City would forever shiver as they remembered this day, especially that one man's voice as he "controlled" the swarm. "Look there, food!" That's all Jack ever said. He'd point at…-

380 I'll Help You Enter History! That day the Mermaid Prison was especially lively. "Nooo! S-stay away from me!" first came the cries of despair of the torturer, overpowered by Jack. "Yessss!" Then came the cheers from the prisoners as he handled the torturer, giving him a taste of his own medicine. Somehow hearing the bastard suffer made the world seem a little brighter. Some were even crying tears of joy, seeing karma finally at work. "Perhaps there is justice in the world after all!" "This is so…

379 Hell of a Poison! Screams, the sound of flesh being torn apart, useless cries for mercy that would never come, and the echo of a civilization crushed by a sea of bugs. "Ah, how soothing!" Jack's murmur even scared his fellow prisoners. Soothing?! He called it bloody soothing?! No, the idea that he had orchestrated it all from a prison cell was infinitely more terrifying! Little did they know, the soothing sound he had referred to was one of notifications. Wow! Talk about efficient! He didn't even…

378 Ta-da-da! Visit! In the dungeon, pained screams echoed. "Why. Won't. You. Scream!! Can you not feel pain?!" The bystanders' jaws almost touched the ground from surprise at the scene. Why was the torturer the one in total anguish? And how the Hell was Jack able to resist so well?! "Tell me! How do you use the pearl?! You know how for sure, they've seen you float with it and call strange creatures! Hurry up and confess!" He kept questioning. "Eh, just touch it! Have you tried turning it off and on…

377 Still Beautiful! As Jack was dragged through the streets, the citizen of the mermaid kingdom could be heard gasping. "What?! Wasn't this guy on our side?" "Don't tell me he's the one the execution ground's for?!" The gazes of shock and pity accompanied him as he was taken inside the crystal palace, the doors closing in on their freedom akin to a death sentence. — Bam! — Then they reached the throne room… As soon as they stepped inside, they were welcomed by Gargan, the gigantic octopus…

376 Legendary Treasure?! "Not there, not there either. How about this piece?" At the bottom of the sea, a duo tirelessly worked on what looked like an intricate puzzle. After clearing more mirages than they could even count, they had finally done it. "Woo!" (This is impossible!) This thing wasn't just hard, is was unbelievably difficult. Every individual fragment looked the bloody same: small, blue, ancient-looking. It was akin to trying to piece back a pack of minced beef into the animal it once…

375 Breaking the Mirage! "A crew to man the ship?" Jack chuckled. As if that was an issue at all! He just needed a couple more hands, right?! That's precisely what magic was for! "Arise for me!" He gestured toward the deck, the whole thing creaking. A second later, bone shards came out of the wood, quickly turning into bony humanoids. … "Hear me! Together we'll sail and conquer this mirage! Everyone to the oars, we're leaving this bloody place! Gold? Who needs it!" He shouted at them. The…

Jack scowled at his half-locked inventory. This would have been so easy if it wasn't restricted! Heck, he would have forged the hell out of this vessel! Sadly they had to land, and soon! They headed for a cluster of islands in the distance, the place hidden under a heavy sea fog. But the closer they got, the more nervous the crew became. "What's here?" Jack raised a brow: "Death, pain, suffering…." "The unknown…" What was up with those cryptic answers? It seemed like they feared this place because they…

Wait, wasn't this a little too much XP?! That's when the entire ship rocked, hard! It was as if they had suddenly hit a wall right in the middle of the sea! "What in the seven seas's happening?! We should be miles away from any land! Who's in the crow nest right now?! What do you see up there?!" the Captain loudly shouted. "M-monster! R-runnn!!!" Run? Bloody where?! This was a ship, aka a literal floating coffin! No one had time anymore to bother about Jack's dubious teachings. But now, even he was getting…

"Row like your life depends on it!!" Panicked shouts echoed all over the shop, unfortunate sailors working their asses off. — SHISHISHI! — In the distance, strange cries resounded from the creatures chasing them. Just the sounds were enough for many to soil themselves, their faces turning ghostly pale. "What the hell is that?!" Jack questioned. "Probably what annihilated the previous crew! I bloody knew that following after them was a TERRIFIC idea! TCH — We already have plenty to worry…
