A few more days after that, the group soon caught sight of the large stretch of sea and beach with a large glass tower in the center of the sea.
"We now arrive in Seaside Kingdom, where the sea meets the sun. Our destination this time is Bubblaine resort." Jack said.
"Man, look at that water down there! It's so clear and refreshing, and it almost looks like its got some fizz to it." Akane said.
"That's because the sea here is carbonated. It's like the fancy water you see in weddings or restaurants. And the largest portion of it is in...what the?" Jack said looking at the tower to see a large octopus creature sucking down the water in the tower.
"Oh great. Its Mollusque-Lancuer." Connor said.
"You know that thing?" Sectonia asked.
"He's a giant octopus on the wanted list. He's a connoisseur who goes around draining entire oceans he thinks meet his taste." Connor said.
"Then we've gotta stop him before he sucks up the whole batch of Sparkle Water." Hope said.
"That water is said to bring good fortune, happiness, and even romance to those who drink that. Maybe…" Juvia started.
"Don't even think about it!" David said in a deep blush. "Sectonia and I are very close, and we don't need to drink carbonated water to prove it!"
"Can we focus on taking that octopus off the Sparkle Water containment?" Morph asked.
"I bet if we pop those corks, we can get him off there." Ban said.
"Mood killers… They do not understand the finer aspects of love and romance." Juvia said.
"Aren't you already close to Gray as it is?" Gemini asked.
"You're one to talk, Gemini." Ichiro said.
"Wow… All this talk about weddings is bringing out relationship talk from everyone, isn't it?" Ming asked.
"Good thing you don't need to worry about that, huh Teba?" Rantaro asked.
"Of course I don't. I already have a wife that loves me back home." Teba said.
"Yeah, the rest of us really need to get things straightened out once this whole thing is over." Ming said.
"Relationships are complicated, I know. But if it's the right kind of connection, then it's well worth forging." David said.
Dark Metaknight was looking out.
"Still thinking about Symonne?" Sectonia asked.
"You don't need to worry about a thing. Once this whole thing is over, everyone in her grasp will be freed. I promise." David said.
"I didn't expect to hear that from you two." Dark Metaknight said.
"Well it's true that circumstances made things...kind of rocky for everyone involved, I'm the type that uses inspiring words to push people forward." David said. "Though it doesn't work on myself, unfortunately, and sometimes it tends to fail."
"Still thinking about going through with destroying the Dimension Mirror? I know the kind of person you are. When the time comes, we all know you'll make the right decision." Dark Metaknight assured. "Of course, you should know the moment it's shattered, I will be pulled back into my own dimension."
"I'll make note of that. For now, we've got a pest problem to clean up." David said.
"Indeed we do." Dark Metaknight said.
Touching down at Bubbelane, the heroes moved to remove Mollusque-Lanceur from the top of the Sparkle Water Glass. Akin to Ban's advice, they went for the corks that were plugging the fountains. Each group uncorked them one by one before all four corks hit him on the head.
"Got him!" Flamberge said before the octopus's head started boiling red hot. "Uh oh."
"Okay...you all die now." he said before taking to the sky.
"I think we just made him mad." Kaminari said.
"What was your first clue? The fact that his head changed color?" Zelos asked.
"Or the fact he's firing shell missiles at us? Look out!" Mine said as they ducked down and dodged the incoming missiles.
"Well, at least he's off the pitcher." Connor said.
"Yeah, but now he's attacking us! How do we beat him?!" Mineta asked.
"I think I have the answer to that." Kazuichi said showing off the Mantine glider. "We take the glider to the skies and have Mantine and the Remoraid send him to a watery defeat."
"That's genius, Soda!" Ibuki said.
"Now we just need to find someone to….Oh for the love of…" Kazuichi said as Kokichi had already taken it to the skies.
"Whoa! How the heck did he do that so fast?" Hope said.
"He is the Ultimate Supreme Leader for a reason. He lies, cheats and steals." Jack said.
"Kekekeke. Hey, sir octopus. You like water, right? Well here's some more!" Kokichi said as the Mantine and Remoraid shot down on Mollusque's head as he went crashing before rising up.
"How uncouth!" he said firing shells at Kokichi who was swiftly dodging.
"You can hit me all you want but you'll never get a hit in. Time for round 2!" Kokichi said as they fired again before Kokichi jumped off. "And for the finishing touch…" Kokichi said holding a strange kerchief. "My kicks are powerful enough to take out a mountain." he said as it glowed before he landed a powerful kick to Mollusque's head making him explode.
"But...that makes no sense. How is that possible?" Connor asked as Kokichi swam to shore.
"It's the law I created." Kokichi said holding the kerchief. "It's called Law of Lies. It makes anything I lie about true for 5 minutes."
"Whoa… That's pretty impressive. The Coalition couldn't give you a Law, but you took the time to make one of your own." Shuichi said.
"More like I bribed the maker who was given the power to make them." Kokichi said. "They honestly thought I was one to play ball...showed them wrong. Kekekeke."
"Well, whatever the case, we just saw an impressive display here." Sheena said.
"Your words are too kind." Kokichi said.
"Still...I don't think Mollusque was the first one here." Shuichi said looking at a pair of monster like footprints in the sand.
"Bowser…" Jexi said.
"Of course he would want the water. It's perfect for a wedding toast." Cappy said.
"Talk about greedy. Now all he needs is the food." Hope said.
"Too bad we're gonna be too busy with Big Mom to stop him." David said.
"He's right. The wedding is in the Luncheon Kingdom and its in two days...and it takes that long to get there. By the time we get there, we'll be busy with the plan." Connor said.
"Then we'll let Mario and Cappy handle the food part while we tackle the wedding." Rainbow said.
"Yeah. You guys go and crash that wedding. And good luck." Cappy said.
"Thanks, Cappy. I have a feeling we're gonna need it." Hope said.
2 days until the wedding…
