Chapter 958: The Baby’s Tablet (1/2)

As dawn was just beginning, Krune got up and checked the condition of the baby, smiling when he noticed that it was healthy. He then jumped on the bone boat attached nearby, holding a toothbrush in his hand as he began to clean his teeth.

He didn't have anything like toothpaste. So, all he did was use the ocean water to clean his dental cavity while using the toothbrush to scrape off anything unpleasant. Thanks to the healing effect in the ocean water, he noticed that when he was done, his teeth were sparkling clean, and his gums weren't injured in any way.

He then looked up, noticing the sleeping figure of the Seamstress. She had placed her bed on the other side of the boat. It seemed that she had been significantly exhausted. So, the moment she closed her eyes, she fell asleep like a log. Then again, the stable movement and soft flooring, not to mention the bed and the blanket, allowed her to have a pleasant sleep.

Seeing that she had yet to wake up, Krune didn't bother her, using a bucket to scoop the ocean water and pour it into a certain container at the top. It acted as a water tank within their boat. After all, Krune had built a bathroom in the boat.

After all, he was now a mortal and had to take care of mortal things. He never had such things to worry about as a wisp back then, a being of pure energy. Krune carefully placed his fingers near his mouth and held the ends of his skin armor, pulling it as it stretched.

His head soon peeked out as Krune continued to slowly peel away the entire skin armor. It did take him considerable time, considering its elasticity wasn't to the extent he could easily pull it off like a piece of cloth.

Once he had pulled it out completely, he sighed, relaxing his muscles once. Even though the skin armor had become fully in tune with him, it was still an extra layer over his body. With that, he had to remove it while taking care of his bodily needs every day.

Krune habitually soaked it in the ocean water once and left it on the floor to dry as he headed into the bathroom, using the pod to empty his bowels first. He then took a shower, feeling refreshed as he exited.

He then wore a pair of leather knickers he had stitched, sitting on a seat as he allowed his body to dry. He only had leather to use, so he couldn't prepare a towel. That's why he had to sit until his body dried itself.

Moreover, the humid weather made it even worse. Sighing, Krune got up and lifted the boxing bag. It was something he made using three layers of Monster Gecko Skin, filling it with the bone tree's bone powder.

It had considerable weight to it, and when he practiced using it before, he felt that it was perfect for his current physique. The ends of the boxing bag were attached to the floors on either side. Once he fastened the hooks to it, Krune lightly punched on it, feeling the response as he could not help but exclaim, ”Great! That's how I wanted!”

He then made a series of punches and jabs on it, moving his body around as much as possible to become an agile fighter. Having used shields all his life, Krune was an expert when it came to defending. Moreover, having multitasked by controlling 102 shields each time, he was able to divert his attention span on other things while boxing.

Krune looked at the baby, counting the number of times it breathed and the duration it took each time based on his counts. Using the Sonic Radar, Krune sensed the flow of fishes beneath his boat, their numbers, their depth with respect to his position, and so on.

He continued to do a flurry of attacks on the boxing bag, intending to improve his skill. After all, the previous night, no matter how they gave chase, they were unable to close in on the pirate ship. On top of that, they had looted the belongings of everyone in the vicinity.

After that, they just headed for their base. As the pirate cove was too much for them to handle, for the time being, they decided to retreat first. As for the people whose belongings were stolen from, they just drifted through the place, intending to head as far away from the range of operation of the bandits.

When Krune extended a helping hand, they simply looked at him in fear and paddled faster. Without their tablets, they no longer had any hopes of surviving in the place. Even if they obtained any Godly Points, they wouldn't be able to use them.

Surprisingly, most of them had indignant expressions, planning to scour for powerful fishes to hunt and obtain strong passive abilities and reclaim their tablets one day. Upon seeing their expressions, Krune didn't stop them. He was never a saint, so he didn't poke his nose into where it didn't belong.

As for the Seamstress, she just pointed them in the direction where some of the materials left behind by the bandits still remained. After that, they decided to call it a day since their Motor Fishes were getting exhausted.
