**South Sea Jungle Coastline – Late Afternoon**
The ocean was a living fury—waves rising like black mountains, crashing against the rocky shore in violent, foaming explosions that sent salt spray flying hundreds of meters inland. Each impact shook the earth. Trees along the edge bent backward as if bowing to an angry god, leaves tearing free and spiraling into the storm. The wind howled through the canopy with a sound like screaming souls, ripping branches and hurling them into the sea.
Then—
A colossal shark breached the surface—easily 200 meters long, skin scarred and dark as oil, eyes glowing dull red with mindless, ancient rage. Its silhouette alone blocked the sun for seconds. It slammed its massive tail down—tsunamis exploding outward in perfect half-circles, smashing into the jungle, uprooting century-old trees like they were toothpicks, flooding the coastline in roaring walls of black water.
It roared—sound so deep it vibrated bones, splitting the air and sending birds fleeing in every direction.
Teeth longer than buildings slammed into the shore—earthquake ripping through the ground, fissures opening wide like screams in stone, swallowing chunks of land whole.
Wano appeared in a flash of green light—eyes wide with shock, red flower trembling in her hair like a dying heartbeat.
"What is this creature…?"
Her voice was barely audible over the chaos.
She transformed instantly—body elongating, scales gleaming emerald, turning into her gigantic snake form. Coils surged forward—massive, powerful, rippling with strength—but dwarfed by the shark's sheer, impossible size. She looked like a serpent facing a dragon.
She dove into the sea—swimming with terrifying speed, tail cutting through waves like a blade through silk.
She struck—fangs sinking deep into the shark's dorsal fin, venom pumping.
The shark roared—sound deafening, water boiling around it in furious bubbles.
A vacuum formed—sea spiraling inward like a black hole, pulling everything toward its maw.
Wano was hurled backward—body tumbling across the surface like driftwood in a hurricane, blood trailing from her mouth, scales cracked and bleeding.
The shark spun—tail slamming down with apocalyptic force.
The impact sent her flying—crashing onto the beach in human form, body skidding across sand and rock, leaving a trail of blood. She lay broken—eyes fluttering closed, breathing shallow, red flower falling from her hair into the dirt.
A factory worker—stationed on the new Blu-built coastal facility—watched in horror from the upper deck.
He fumbled for his phone—hands shaking so badly he nearly dropped it twice.
"President Blu! Please send someone! A monster shark—it's destroying everything! The jungle… the facility… we're all gonna die!"
Wind screamed louder—trees snapping like twigs, waves rising higher, swallowing the shore.
The shark turned—slow, deliberate—approaching the factory.
Its tail rose—ready to smash the entire structure into the sea.
Suddenly—
A crimson flash split the air like a wound in reality.
Yuki appeared—Honokage beside her, towering in shadow form, red eyes blazing with protective fury.
Honokage lunged—black claws wrapping around the shark's tail in an unbreakable grip.
He hurled it sideways—massive body crashing into deeper water with a sound like thunder splitting the sky.
Yuki landed lightly on the beach—blindfold half-slipped. Only one eye visible—crimson, glowing like fresh blood under moonlight, power coiling around her like living flame.
"Hono-kun. Take care of the Forest Queen. I'm handling the fish."
Honokage raised an eyebrow—voice deep, amused despite the chaos.
"But can you handle this giant monster alone?"
Yuki smirked—crimson eye flaring brighter, energy surging.
"Baka… you forgot now we share powers?"
Honokage's red eyes softened—smile small, fond, almost proud.
"Yeah… then it's okay."
He teleported—appearing beside Wano.
She lay on the beach—human form, bleeding from multiple wounds, eyes closed, breathing shallow, red flower crushed beneath her.
Honokage knelt—gently lifting her in his arms, shadow tendrils wrapping protectively around her like a cocoon.
He teleported away—safe.
Wind screamed louder—sea boiling, waves spiraling into vortexes.
Yuki released her sealed eye fully.
Both eyes opened—crimson.
She cracked her knuckles—slow, deliberate, sound sharp in the chaos.
"Be ready to play."
She walked forward—each step calm, measured, boots barely touching the sand.
Then—
She ran.
Faster than any sports car—boots skimming the water surface.
She sprinted across the ocean—ripples exploding behind her like shockwaves, water parting in her wake.
With a massive jump—water detonated beneath her in a perfect circle, tsunami-scale waves radiating outward.
She soared—falling slowly from the sky, crimson energy coiling around her fist like blood flame, trailing sparks of red lightning.
She landed—a perfect punch on the shark's head.
**BOOM.**
The shark roared—head snapping up to devour her, jaws wide enough to swallow ships.
Yuki flash-stepped—teleporting to its fin.
Hands gripped—ripped the dorsal fin clean off with a wet, tearing sound.
A fountain of black blood erupted—shark thrashing in agony, tail whipping wildly, creating whirlpools.
Yuki smirked—eyes blazing crimson.
"This isn't the end yet!"
Barrage of punches—crimson energy exploding on impact, each hit shaking the sea, blood spraying in arcs.
She moved—faster, faster—circling the beast like a storm given form.
Then—
One final strike.
She sliced downward—cutting the shark in two giant pieces.
Blood flooded the sea—waves turning red, corpse floating like a broken island.
Yuki landed lightly on the larger half—breathing steady, crimson eyes glowing.
Suddenly—
Lightning cracked across the sky—unnatural, violet, jagged.
The sea turned unstable—waves spiraling inward.
A massive whirlpool formed—pulling everything down, deeper, darker, hungry.
Honokage teleported behind her—shouting.
"Yukiii!! Get off!"
But the vortex was too strong—sucking them in.
Both fell—along with the dead shark's body—into the abyss.

**Bermuda Triangle – Unknown Depths**
Darkness.
Endless water.
Fog so thick it felt solid—gray, choking, alive.
Yuki lay on the floating corpse of the giant shark—like it was an island in the void.
Honokage stood beside her—fist clenched, red eyes scanning the fog, tail swaying slowly in agitation.
Yuki stirred—slowly sitting up, crimson eye glowing faintly in the gloom.
"Where… is this place?"
Honokage sighed—deep, resigned, almost weary.
"This place is doom… We are in the Bermuda Triangle."
Yuki's eyes widened—voice rising in disbelief.
"Bermuda… Triangle!? You mean the freaking place where mysterious creatures live, ships and planes crash and never come back!?"
Honokage nodded—grave, eyes never leaving the fog.
"Exactly."
Yuki stood instantly—grabbing his collar with both hands.
"Then why the hell are you chill!? We need to find a way back!"
Honokage placed a gentle hand over hers—calm, steady, grounding.
"I think… we can't. This place is far more dangerous than you think. Getting out isn't easy."
Yuki's grip tightened—voice shaking with fear and frustration.
"Then what do we do!? Are we stuck here forever!?"
Honokage looked into her eyes—soft, reassuring, almost tender.
"Listen to me… We can try to find a way."
Yuki released his collar—arms falling limp, voice small, vulnerable.
"And why do you sound weird!?"
Honokage exhaled—slow, heavy.
"This place is full of leviathans, sharks, mysterious sea gods, monsters, sea creatures… and we are too far—way too far—from Paras City."
Yuki swallowed—fear creeping in, voice barely a whisper.
"So what should we do now…?"
Honokage jumped down from the shark corpse—landing lightly on the water.
"Come with me… I might be able to show a way out."
Yuki hesitated—then jumped after him.
She held his hand tightly—crimson eye glowing faintly in the fog, the only light in the gray.
"Okay."
They walked on water—side by side.
Around them—only fog and endless sea.
Yuki squeezed his hand harder—voice small, trembling.
"I'm scared… This place is scary."
Honokage smiled—gentle, warm, squeezing back.
"Not that scary."
Suddenly—
A colossal leviathan rose—roaring, one glowing eye piercing the fog like a lighthouse from hell.
Yuki and Honokage froze—fear flashing across both faces.
Yuki turned to him—voice rising.
"And why are you scared of the leviathan!? You're a leviathan too—you forgot!?"
Honokage's red tail swayed slowly—he remembered, embarrassed.
"Yes… I know. But he looks scarier than me."
The leviathan fired a beam—massive, destructive.
Honokage grabbed Yuki.
"Yuki! Hold on!"
He teleported—reappearing far to the side.
Honokage—breathing hard.
"This thing is too strong… too big…"
Yuki folded her arms—trying to hide fear with bravado.
"So slay it with your power? You forgot you can copy…?"
Honokage shook his head—serious.
"My copy ability has limitations here. And my power… won't work properly."
Yuki's face paled—voice cracking.
"So it means… the power you share with me… I can't use either!?"
Honokage nodded—grim.
"Of course…"
Yuki freaked—voice rising.
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier!? Astra is stronger than you right now!"
Honokage coughed—awkward, sheepish.
"Ahem… don't compare me to that kid."
The leviathan slammed its tail—sea exploding, tsunamis rising.
Honokage grabbed her hand.
"Come on! We need to escape!"
They ran—leaping across water.
The leviathan chased—massive body cutting through waves.
Yuki—panting.
"Transform into your leviathan mode now!"
Honokage glowed—body expanding, black scales gleaming, red eyes blazing.
He roared—leviathan form.
But still smaller than the enemy.
Yuki stood on his head—hair whipping.
"Hono-kun! Swim fast!"
Honokage surged forward—diving deep.
He glanced back—the leviathan vanished into the fog.
He sighed—transformed back to human.
Yuki fell onto his back—hugging tightly.
"Hono-kun… my breath… I can't breathe underwater…"
Honokage—soft.
"I think… we're safe."
Suddenly—
A single glowing eye watched them from the darkness.
Honokage sweated.
"We aren't safe."
He ran—carrying Yuki.
She slipped—fell into the water.
Yuki turned—shouting.
"Oiii!! Hono-kun!! Come here!! You forgot me!!"
She spun—the one-eyed giant piranha was centimeters from her face.
Yuki forced a smile—sweating, pale, heart pounding.
"Umm… hey… little one. Please don't eat me. I'm not even married yet."
The piranha opened its mouth—rows of teeth gleaming.
Yuki ran out of oxygen—vision blurring, body sinking.
Honokage rushed back—grabbed her collar—pulled her away.
The piranha floated—mouth still open, confused.
Honokage placed his hand on her head—crimson glow.
Yuki woke—gasping, clinging to him.
"Am I alive?"
Honokage—gentle, relieved.
"You don't need oxygen to survive now."
Yuki smiled—weak, grateful.
"Thanks."
Minutes later—
They stood on a broken ship—rusted, ancient, half-sunken.
Honokage leaned against the rail—breathing hard, exhausted.
Yuki glanced around—voice soft, almost reverent.
"Is it… Titanic?"
Honokage—panting.
"Maybe… it could be… let me breathe…"
Yuki's face softened—sad, reflective.
"Oh… this is the Titanic I read about… so many people died."
She swam inside—through rusty gates, exploring carefully.
Found jewelry in lockers—a crimson gem ring, a beautiful black dress—perfect, untouched by time, preserved by whatever strange magic ruled this place.
She returned—handing things to Honokage.
"Look. I found jewelry. The ring for Astra."
Honokage smiled—soft, tired.
"What about me?"
Yuki—bored expression, teasing.
"Just nothing."
Honokage's smile faded—dramatic, heartbroken.
"But why?"
Yuki turned—pouting, arms crossed.
"You know what!? You left me with that ugly piranha for lunch. You ran for your life instead of saving me. Bad boyfriend. Selfish guy."
Honokage sniffed—fake tears, dramatic.
"At least don't say it like that… I really love you. It was just a mistake."
Yuki—arms crossed tighter.
"Mistake?"
She swam inside a room—slammed the door.
Honokage stood—soul visibly leaving his body, tail drooping.
"Don't leave me like that… we aren't even married yet."
Minutes passed—silence.
Yuki emerged—wearing the black dress, jewelry gleaming against her skin.
She turned—avoiding eye contact, arms crossed, blushing slightly.
"I forgive you… only if you say how I look in this dress."
Honokage stared—frozen, blushing harder than ever.
He observed her—over and over—heart racing.
Heavenly beauty.
He swallowed—voice soft, reverent, almost whispering.
"This is… heavenly beauty."
Yuki grinned—turning to him, eyes sparkling.
"You like it!? Then I'll keep the dress and wear it!"
Honokage—smiling, heart full.
"Of course I like it."
He scratched his head—nervous, hopeful.
"If you don't mind… let's explore the world instead of going back to Paras City for now?"
Yuki—soft smile, eyes warm.
"Fine… I do. Because it's only you. I was bored of my life—training, being an idol…"
Honokage raised his hand slowly—hopeful.
"Okay then… let's explore together."
Yuki placed her hand in his—gentle, trusting.
"Sure…"
They swam forward—side by side.
Slowly—the Bermuda Triangle changed.
Sea life glowed softly—fish swimming curiously, not aggressively. Sky turned blue again through the fog. Fog lifted—revealing endless, beautiful ocean. Water calmed—waves gentle.
Creatures no longer dangerous.
They swam hand-in-hand—quiet, peaceful.
A new story—beautiful, intimate—began beneath the waves.
And somewhere deep in the triangle, the sea itself seemed to whisper:
*Welcome home.*
