Cosplay
Chapter 278 - The Legend of the Mermaid.
Flashback two days ago. Precisely, before Izumi and Hozuki are accidentally stranded on the coast of Lunarian island, the island they promised to meet their nakama.
A bronze chain emerged from the sides of the pirate ship Kurama. The chain automatically binds the ship of the Cosplay pirates. Keikomaru, called this chain as, "Magic chain." Because, this bronze chain can bind a ship without any burden at all.
Yoshino, Vika, Killa, and Davidestorm were quite confused by the chains that bound his ship. However, the terrified Davidestorm, Vika and Killa who are worried for Izumi's safety, plus a sense of rescue enveloped Yoshino's heart, therefore the four of them ignored the chains that tied his ship just like that.
"Yazumi..!! Wait for me..!!" Yoshino, who is already on the edge of the ship, is getting ready to jump into the ocean to save Izumi.
"..... Relax, Yoshino." Vika and Killa immediately pull Yoshino into the middle of the ship. Despite looking worried, the two of them still believed in the words of the captain.
On the other hand, Franksboy who took the steering expert of the pirate ship Kurama was immediately wearing anti-radiation glasses, wearing gloves, and then pressed a few buttons on the ship's rudder.
"Khikkii.." Franksboy gave Alice and the others a thumbs-up, not a thumb, but a code as if something had worked out.
Alice, who saw the code from Franksboy, unceremoniously turned her eyes to the Cosplay pirate ship and shouted, "All of you..!! Be calm..!! Hold tight because we will do something together with your ship..!!"
"..... All right, everything's safe and in control." Franksboy who has obeyed the applicable SOP is also prepared to do something. He pulled the ship's rudder. Then press a button with a fire logo on the rudder of the ship, "Prepare minna..!!"
"Coupe de la French..!!!"
In an instant, Kurama's pirate ship flew into the air along with the chain-bound Cosplay pirate ship, where the chain was connected to the pirate ship Kurama.
"Whats..!! We're flying?!!" Yoshino, Vika, Killa, and Vika are shocked to discover that their ship is flying with the pirate ship Cosplay.
Two ships were speeding into space and flying like an eagle. They headed to Lunarian Island like the captain's last words, Izumi and Hozuki.

While in a terrible sea. Izumi was trying to hold her breath when her body was still wrapped around the tentacles of the kraken monster and was still being dragged to the bottom of the sea. Even so, Izumi not only resigned to wait for help, he tried to rebel in order to escape from the winding tentacles.
In contrast to Hozuki, thanks to his Mizu-Mizu No Akumanya demonic fruit, he can survive and breathe in the ocean. It was as if this vast ocean was his territory. Hozuki immediately melted his body into water so that he could escape from the winding tentacles of the Kraken monster.
After that, Hozuki returned to his human form. Seeing Izumi who was in distress due to the winding of the Kraken tentacles so strong. He also, "Mizu No Pistol..!!" Hozuki fired a water bullet and instantly the tentacles wrapped around Izumi's body were immediately released.
Hozuki then swam closer to Izumi and brought her to the surface. However, the Kraken tentacles still insist on targeting Izumi and Hozuki. In the end, the two of them were like playing a chase with Kraken tentacles in the ocean.
Hozuki who brought Izumi swimming towards the surface also occasionally turned his head down. However, to his surprise when Hozuki looked down, he saw the main body of the Kraken monster that was so big and fierce.
However, when Hozuki and Izumi will reach the surface, "Groaarrr...!!!" The sound of the monster's cry sounded from the bottom of the sea. And, the scream creates a shrill voice in someone who hears it, including Izumi and Hozuki.
They endured the pain he felt in his ears after accidentally hearing the screams of monsters from the bottom of the sea. Arguably, it was a shout from the Kraken monster.
Because it had been in the ocean long enough, Izumi could no longer hold her breath any longer. Not long after, he also fainted out of breath because it was too long in the ocean.
Hozuki who realized that did not want anything bad to happen to Izumi. He tries to lift Izumi to the surface to save her. However, Hozuki's legs were again held back by Kraken tentacles wrapped around binding him.
Hozuki again dragged to the bottom of the sea, not least Izumi million who were dragged along. However, when the two of them were already on the verge of death, Hozuki caught a glimpse of a woman with long hair while carrying a trident attacking the tentacles of the Kraken monster.
After a few seconds, Hozuki who was running out of stamina slowly closed his eyes and fainted. However, before Hozuki fainted, he saw the female figure looking at him while smiling gently.
Flashback is over.
"So that's what I saw just before I fainted" Hozuki said.
On the island of Lunarian, in a location that is still unknown name, Hozuki, Izumi, and the middle-aged man they met were sitting lamenting the bonfire that warmed the atmosphere of the night so cold.
"So that's how it happened, huh? I'm still wondering, is the woman you saw the same woman I saw in my dream?" ask Izumi.
"It looks different, two different women" Hozuki replied.
Then, "It looks like the woman you saw in the ocean was a mermaid. She is a legendary woman. In addition to the Kraken monster, the story of mermaids is also quite well known by sailors." It was clearly the middle-aged man.
"Mermaid?" Izumi tilted her head as she did not know the true figure of the mermaid, "What is she really?"
"She was a legendary figure among sailors who were sailing sedans. There were some people who saw it, but it was only considered a mere hallucination. Because, there is not enough evidence to prove the existence of the mermaid figure.."
"......." Izumi and Hozuki only listened to what the middle-aged man she had just met explained.
"Mermaid, Densetsu, the legend of the beautiful girl, maybe the three things have an indirect relationship. And it's still a mystery until now.."
"uh? A densetsu? A legend of a beautiful girl? What are you saying, old man?"
