"Hold your breathe!" Dante hurriedly instructed when the water level reached their neck.
The water quickly filled up the cabin swallowing them whole. Naruto felt something touch him from behind and turned around to see Dante pointing at the vent in the floor before swimming towards it. Naruto quickly followed behind him. They swarm through the vent and ended up in the lower deck which is the gun deck. Three blade demon moved around unhindered in the water.
Naruto looked conflicted. How were they supposed to fight underwater?
But either way he still pulled out limbo even though he knew it was a futile attempt since bullets can't travel fast in water because of the water pressure.
He was about to swim towards the closest blade demon when Dante stopped him. He turned to look at him with a questioning gaze when his eyes landed on the needle gun that in Dante's hand and suddenly remembered. The needle gun was actually an underwater weapon.
"mmh mmph (Let me handle it)"
Although Naruto couldn't hear him, he could understand what dante was trying to say so he nodded.
Dante didn't delay any further and quickly swim towards the three blades. The blades noticed him when he got within a certain range of them and attacked.
Dante also didn't pull any punches and went all out with the needle gun piercing the blades like a pinata, killing them.
Once the blade demons were all defeated, Naruto followed Dante down a stairwell into the hold of the ship where they encountered more blades. Just like before Dante quickly dealt with them. Naruto who had nothing to do noticed the hole in side of the hull and gestured to Dante who quickly followed him out of the sinking ship.
Swimming out of the ship Naruto saw light at the top of the water and eventually followed it until they came out of the shallow pool of water soaking water and dripping outside the Ghost Ship, which had crashed a shore and into a dark cave.
Naruto immediately gasped for air once he made it on shore. Unlike Dante he couldn't breathe underwater but he could at least last longer than normal people. It took him a few seconds to catch his breath before observing his surrounding.
"Where the hell are we?"
"I don't know" Dante shrugged as he observed their surrounding before he noticed an open doorway in a corner of the cave not far away, and said. "But I think we'll find out answers there"
Naruto's eyes followed Dante's outstretched hand to the entrance
He nearly facepalmed when he saw the doorway. How could he have missed that before. The burning torch by the entrance was a dead giveaway in the dark and empty cave. He inwardly berated himself before he turned to Dante and said
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get moving"
"Hmm" Dante readily nodded as the cave was the only path presented before them.
The two of them quickly made thei way towards the dark cave entrance to find a passageway leading up where they encountered some marionettes that they quickly destroyed. They proceeded up a flight of stairs and through a door at the top of the stairs.
Naruto and Dante emerged in a corridor: proceeding down it leads into a curved area with a spiked wall and odd patterns of holes in the floor. They move through the opening to the left with a skull engraving on the wall, and the barred-off shaft halfway along this cross-corridor. Going all the way across leads to another long curved hallway.
Everywhere they walked pass had small holes in the grounds. When they got to the end of the corridor the saw a wall of spikes with a skeleton pinned to the spikes holding a shield.
'What's that?' With his curiousity piqued Dante walked up to the skeleton picked up the Emblem shield without a second thought. The skeleton's right arm stood up against the wall which Dante noticed. He grabbed it and push it down and just as he suspected it acted as a lever, and he has an ideal of just what it might be for.
Naruto was observing the small holes in the ground when the floor started moving all of a sudden.
shwring!
"What's that?"
The sharp sound of metal scratching metal drew that attention and the both of them look up as one to see spikes popping out of the holes in the ground.
The sharp sound of metal scratching metal drew their attention and the both of them looked behind them as one to see spikes popping out of the holes in the ground.
'Oh shit' Naruto moved back just in time to avoid his head being pierced. The deadly metal spike was taller than him His heart skipped a beat when the iron spike missed his head by a few inches.
"It's a trap!"
