A gambling man at times, Chris made his way to the massive fin that began to slide back into the ocean. It had crushed several men, who were now little more then smears on the deck, red slimy smears. Taking a stance, he gripped his souba and steadied himself. Superhuman speed propelled his strike as Chris lashed out in a large vertical swipe. The movement was such that the wooded deck beneath his feet momentarily buckled, the ship as a whole pushing forward nearly a foot.
A roar like nothing one could imagine echoed out from the depths of the ocean. The protruding fin bled with a large gash across its length as it slid into the sea once more. The roaring Seaking fell silent for a moment, allowing Chris to quickly gather his thoughts before the next encounter. The motions of the ship were chaotic, making it difficult to stand as Chris raced for the head of the ship.
In the distance two more ships closed in. Not very large by any means, they were piloted by the mercenaries who's job it was to distract such creatures as the one now plaguing Chris. Drawing out his Den Den Mushi, trying frantically to communicate, "we're under attack by a Seaking of unknown size. Pull in closer and try to attract its attention until we can get ashore. Disengage when its clear to do so." He repeated this several times, making sure to get a response before turning about to head for the helm. He was going to get that damned animal, but for now his only option was a swift retreat.
