Under Morel's precise control, strands of smoke separated from the Purple Smoke Troopers, forming small platforms seemingly out of thin air on the sea's surface. These smoke platforms gave the troops stable footing to settle on and jump from.
This level of smoke manipulation was truly impressive. Seizing the perfect moment when the arrow fish leapt out of the water, the Purple Smoke Troopers successfully took them down.
Since swordfish move by stretching and contracting their bodies, they spend a brief moment in the air when they jump, during which their speed slows down considerably. This made it much easier for the Purple Smoke Troopers to strike. Things were going smoothly for Morel's team.
However, Cluck's situation was quite different. Her cannibalization tactic had initially worked, and the number of yellow lion fish schools was decreasing.
But the yellow lion fish weren't easy to wipe out, if they were, their danger level wouldn't be so high. It seemed Cluck had reduced their numbers to a critical point, which triggered a massive reaction among the yellow lion fish.
Countless fish began moving closer together, leaving no one swimming outside the school. As they converged, the aura they emitted grew stronger and stronger, as if they were about to give birth to something enormous.
Suddenly, a massive yellow lion fish burst from the water and snapped up a large number of seagulls. Its fierce expression and overwhelming presence sent chills down anyone's spine, as if they'd been plunged into an icy cellar just by looking at it.
Cluck's eyes flashed with anger, a rare crack in her usually calm and confident demeanor. She had thought she had things under control, but the situation had suddenly flipped.
That huge yellow lion fish wasn't a single creature, it was a combination of countless yellow lion fish fused together. Larry stroked his chin thoughtfully. The yellow lion fish school was finally showing its true "fangs."
Once combined, their danger increased dramatically. Cluck's seagulls were completely vulnerable, their attacks had no effect, while a single strike from the giant fish could cause massive destruction.
The battle was completely one-sided. Morel, standing nearby, was focused on handling the arrow fish, while neither Knuckle nor Shoot had any long-range attack abilities.
At this moment, only Larry was taking action. Suddenly, a wave of pure malice surged above the ship. Centered on this dark energy, a shadowy aura quickly spread across the entire sea.
Countless sea creatures recoiled in shock, sensing the overwhelming evil presence. Naturally, creatures instinctively avoid danger, so under this terrifying aura, they all fled at top speed.
Morel and the others closest to this dark energy felt its full impact. They shivered involuntarily, and Morel himself felt a heavy weight settle on his chest. His pupils constricted, cold sweat formed on his forehead, and he slowly raised his gaze.
Before him was a creature nearly impossible to describe, it seemed like the living embodiment of "evil," radiating darkness. It had a dragon-like body with three fierce heads, its form a swirling mix of blue, black, and purple hues, floating silently in the air. Although it had wings, they didn't flap; instead, the creature hovered quietly above the group.
"This is..." Morel's throat moved, but words failed him. He just stared blankly at the three evil dragons. He recognized them, he had seen their shadow behind Larry before.
So, these were some of Larry's Nen beasts! Cluck looked at the three dragons with horror on her face, realizing the same thing.
Only Knuckle and Shoot hadn't seen these creatures before, and in their panic, they didn't recognize them as Larry's Nen beasts. For a moment, they were unsure how to react. Just by feeling the aura, the school of yellow lion fish was already scattering.
Then, with a sharp snap of his fingers, Larry summoned three energy balls, each a different color, that appeared among the three heads of the dragons. These orbs pulsed with intense energy, quickly reshaping into columns under Larry's mental command.
Almost instantly, a thick beam of light shot out, striking the school of yellow lion fish. The beam was a dazzling mix of red, yellow, and blue, combining fiery sparks, icy flashes, and crackling electricity, a triple attack skill unleashed in one powerful strike.
Boom!
Under the horrified gaze of everyone present, the powerful triple attack struck the massive school of yellow lionfish head-on, causing a deafening explosion that echoed across the sky.
In the blinding flash of light, countless yellow lionfish vanished, wiped out in an instant by the beam. A towering fountain of water shot upward, marking the devastating impact.
Only after the enormous school of fish disappeared from sight did a few people begin to react, stunned by the sheer force of the attack. The fish had been utterly pulverized.
"As expected of the World's Strongest," Morel murmured, placing his large pipe back in front of him and taking another slow puff.
Wisps of pale smoke drifted from his mouth, not out of habit this time, but to steady his nerves after witnessing such overwhelming power. Meanwhile, the swordfish on the other side had already been dealt with, and the remaining fish scattered in fear, overwhelmed by the presence of the three fierce dragons.
Cluck nodded repeatedly, clearly impressed. Such strength was truly astonishing, especially considering this was just a single burst of power.
Hearing this, Knuckle and Shoot finally realized the truth, the terrifying creature they had just witnessed was actually Larry's telekinetic beast. Just a Nen beasts alone was this powerful? Then how strong must Larry be at full power?
Aside from Larry himself, no one knew how many Nen beastss he possessed, it seemed endless. Even Larry wasn't sure how many Pokémon he would eventually have. Others could only imagine.
Suddenly The gestation bar in Larry's mind had finally reached completion, and his first water Pokémon was born. Its upper body was a deep blue, while the lower part, from chin to tail, was white.
A bulge sat atop its head with spiral structures on both sides. Its back was covered by a gray-white shell, rough and uneven with many bumps. It had four fins, the front two larger than the others, and its skin was slick and cold to the touch.
It was Lapras, the perfect mount Pokémon. After some restrictions and oaths were made, the detailed information about Lapras was revealed.
Lapras. is a creature with impressive water storage abilities, specializing in water and ice attributes. With a strength level of A, Lapras possesses powerful skills such as freezing beams, absolute zero, freeze drying, water cannon, and even rain manipulation.
As a mount, Lapras is an excellent choice for a Dragon Rider, perfectly suited for travel across land, sea, and air. The rider has access to a variety of mounts: riding dragons for the sea, wind-speed dogs on land, and fast, formidable dragons in the sky.
Lapras stands out not only as a reliable mount but also as a strong individual capable of handling most emergencies at sea. Despite his gentle nature and dislike for fighting, Lapras is far from weak and can hold his own when needed.
