Another World? Another Kingdom?

Mystery Ship

TW: Blood(?) (Idk if it's something to warn people about....)

"J-J-Joker! Get up!"

"We're in desperate need of help right now!

Joker slowly started to open his eyes. As he was opening them, his teammates were fending off the tentacles that dragged them out of Leblanc in the first place with a familiar face.

"E-Erina?" Joker asked as he slowly got up.

"Joker!" Erina shouted in return, poking a tentacle back, "We need your help now! Toshiro and some of the other thieves are missing!"

The statement of some of the thieves and Toshiro missing jolted him awake. He checked his surroundings to see they were in the middle of a thunderous storm with crashes of waves going on to the old ship they were on. The sails were barely intact with huge holes in them along side with the ship having missing parts to it as well. Then Joker looked to see only Oracle, Erina, and Queen with him.

"Sorry it took me so long to get up." He said getting his knife.

"No need for sorry right now. We need to do something quickly or we're dead meat." Erina replied stabbing the tentacle down.

"Right."

Joker got his grappling hook and shot it at the mast of the boat. Before he went flying, he threw his knife towards Queen.

"Queen! Just like we practiced!" He shouted.

Queen punched the tentacle away from her, grabbed the knife, and nodded towards Joker.

Joker then pulled out his gun and shot 3 bullets at all the tentacles. Queen then proceeded to get on Johanna, fuse the knife with nuke ailment, and ride around the boat hitting the tentacles. Once she finished that, Queen threw the knife back at Joker. He caught it, summoned Arsene and did splashdown of Despair to the tentacles from the knife, finishing them all off.

"Alright, Queen! Nicely done!"

"You said it." She replied with a smile.

"That move was amazing! When did you guys learn how to do that?" Erina asked with excitement.

"I think we learned it around the time we finished off Salmael. We just couldn't find the time to practice in battle." Joker replied with a grin.

"Anyways, we need to find the others. Though I'm not able to pick up any signals here. So all I can do is provide support." Futaba stated feeling bumped out.

"That sucks but first we should find a safe spot. I'm starting to get salt water in my mouth and it's gross." Erina said, spitting out some salt.

They all nodded and proceeded to enter the closest door of the ship. What they didn't know was someone was watching them from afar, observing, and taking mental notes of their skills in battle.

"We'll see how they fair off my kraken." They said going back into the shadows.

The group of four looked around in the interior of the ship. It had a mix of dark green, black, and dark red on the walls with water dripping through the cracks of wood. There was seaweed above them, hanging as some mold were dropping onto the ground or right in front of them as they looked around. There was a lot of room to move and ceiling seemed somewhat high for a normal ship. Thunder outside was booming giving Queen a fright that she had to hug Joker the entire way down the hall. Erina was starting to feel seasick from all the swaying of the boat, but was able to keep it down. There was a candle lit up along the entire hallway as the travelled down. However, one by one they started to go out behind them. Oracle noticed this and started trembling.
