A mighty ship vessel bearing the flag of the Animal Kingdom smashed through the waves of the stormy World Seas.
"How far are we from Black Rock?"
A large-bellied man asked the ship's captain.
"Whew…"
With a cigar in his mouth, the ship's captain looked at the horrible weather and cocked his head slightly.
"At dusk, maybe. It's bad weather."
With a nod, the large-bellied man put the raincoat's hood over the horns on his head and went back inside.
He then shook the rain droplets off his raincoat, slid his hands inside the pockets, and went to check on the seven representatives.
He was responsible for taking them to Black Rock by the orders of Beast King Vladimir, and failing him was the last thing he wanted.
They were going to head to Black Rock before the start of the tournament, where they would live for the next month while waiting for humanity to choose their representatives.
