"Going out to sea is a fools work. Even the desperate and the poor would avoid it."
...
A sailor sat on the side of a freighter. He was wearing a gray longcoat with red epaulets. He wore a dark blue undershirt that with dark green pants. His hair was hidden by a white do-rag on his head. His hands had cleaveless black glove on his right hand, and an armored one on the left. His light green eyes watched the ocean vigilantly.
The freighter began shaking. Most people avoid working on ships because of this. The Grimm. Large ships are prone to these attacks because their slow to escape most sea Grimm variants. Transport by ship is only used when moving too much cargo to send by air, or if you're to poor to afford that.
The sailer drew his weapon, Hydrospear, is a rifle with a bayonet under the barrel. The weapon previously belonged to a respected military general, disgraced by a single failure. The sailor held the weapon like it's spear namesake. A large shark Grimm jumped from the sea.
The large amounts of white armor surrounding it earned it the name "Great White". The sailor threw his weapon into the shark's back and jumped onto it. He grabbed it's dorsal fin as he continued to stab exposed areas the armor did not cover. He used the guns recoil to quickly remove the weapon so he could repeat the attack rapidly. By the time the Great White landed in the ocean, it was already dead, and disolving. The sailor swam to the surface and took a moment to catch his breath.
Several large tentacles surrounded the ship. It was being grabbed by a Kraken, a large Octopus like like Grimm. The Kraken is arguably the worst Grimm you could be attacked by while at sea. They have been known to drag large ships and/or their cargo into the ocean, and are huge annoyance to anyone that uses a frieghter. Some believe the Kraken's exist specifically to destroy large ships like this one.
The tentacles began squeezing, attempting to crush the ship using the pressure from inside the ship. The sailor stabbed a tentacle and fired his rifle, damaging the limb from the inside. The tentacles began slamming parts of the ship, trying to find him. However, he was not on the ship. The Kraken's tentacles held the ship tight, as it started pulling it down, doing what it was best known for. The sailor began shooting at the Kraken's head, however they had little effect on the large creature of Grimm's armor.
The sailor dived underwater to face the Kraken head on. The Kraken tried to grab him, but he punched the tentacle with his left hand, creating an explosion of force to send it back. The Kraken released the ship and attempted to flee. The sailor fired the bayonet of his gun as a harpoon, which grappled him towards the fleeing creature. He punched the Kraken with another explosive punch to the Kraken's eye, causing it's entire head to explode.
The water around him turned red as the Kraken blood filled it. The sailor swam up to the surface, and returned to the freighter. He used his weapon as a fishing rod, by dropping the harpoon into the ocean.
As he lay back, he watched as a Nevermore themed dropship flew overhead. It beared a logo familar to him.
