A series of unsettling muffled thuds echoed from within the bodies of these octopus-headed monsters.
Then, the octopus-headed monsters started to deflate like balloons losing air, continuously shrinking.
Shrinking further.
Until...
They vanished.
Not a bit of flesh remained, turning into a puddle of dark green liquid that floated solitary on the sea surface, gradually diluted by the ocean.
Eventually disappearing completely.
All the octopus-headed monsters inexplicably died at that moment.
Fang Yu and the others were completely confused, exchanging glances and recognizing the perplexity in each other's eyes.
How did they die?
It felt as if their bodies crumbled from the inside out...
But swiftly, Fang Yu was the first to regain his composure. He noticed two warlord vessels in the distance had turned to flee the moment the pirates transformed into monsters, now having disappeared to somewhere.
