The myth of a hybrid... half a man... half a whale shark...
Who's so vicious, it could top the number of mass genocides a squad of pirates is responsible for in their lifetime.
It got its name from the way it kills.
It traps its prey underwater to cut off their oxygen... and gives the poor bastard not even a second to think of what dragged them down before the beast attacks...
All the victim sees last... is a massive sea of dense red... before it dies in vain.
I've lived my entire life being told to watch out for the creature... hearing old tales like;
"Its size could overlap your entire ship!"
"It could swallow you whole!"
"Its fin is sharp enough to cut your ship in half."
"Don't mess with the beast unless you wanna die."
But I don't give a single fuck.
One, 'cuz you don't tell a fucking pirate what to do.
Two,
I live for danger.

I've gone seven whole moon cycles without a fucking break.
My head's barely on my body anymore and I swear, I'm close to spearing one of my mates.
I headed out after making sure everything was secured.
My family has a tradition of throwing pearls into the ocean whenever we got frustrated...
"Each pearl is a stressful situation... just throw'em in the ocean and let the little sea bastards eat'em up!"
Old hag Mitsuki with the advice...
The crew's all fuckin' asleep. I stepped out on the ship's figurehead and stare out around me... seeing nothing but the dark waters surrounding us, shining because of the full moon...
Sometimes just staring out into nothing helps my stress.
I stay here for as long I can tell and begin... tossing each smooth pearl and watching it sink in the water.

There's always been something about watching the horizon, the deep waters, and the mischievous skies to the pirate... It strikes him in a calming way...
He feels at home despite being in the middle of nowhere... His mind is set free along with the breeze... and evaporated under the moon's beautiful glow or the sun's rich glow.
He feels calmer as he states each frustration to each tossed pearl.. watching them plop under a black, deep nothingness throughout waves of saline water and over the sounds of calmly crashing waves...
It's a night of clouded skies... although no bad weather is previewed to cause any harm to their journey. The full moon is a rich tuscany... surrounded by deep blue clouds.
The pirate laughs as he practically hears his mates say it.
"The perfect night for the beast to appear..."
