The sea monster was far from easy to deal with.
Even though Celeste was among the top-tier experts, this monstrous creature, almost dragon-like in size, was an irresistible force.
The amount of blood the sea monster lost was grotesquely exaggerated—the surrounding sea near Fuma Keqing had turned scarlet, all dyed by the monster's blood.
But the creature had gone into a complete frenzy, deploying every one of its tentacles aside from the twenty or so used for underwater movement. They stretched out densely, blocking out the sun and shrouding Fuma Keqing from all directions, even the sunlight was obscured, casting the deck into darkness.
The tentacles struck down at the deck like a fierce storm.
All the while, Liszt had been searching for Haywood's whereabouts, who was certainly not on the deck.
One reason for the sea monster's frenzy was clear.
Haywood had already plunged into the sea; anyone could leave Black Sail and look for refuge under another force, except him.
