10 reviews, 7 chapters. Pretty good for one that sucks at writing. Anyway, in this chapter, Krakens attack Saturos' future ship, and Saturos takes advantage of this.

Chapter 8: Chaos is NOW
Saturos was half-asleep when he heard Menardi hiss in his ear. He didn't know what she was saying until she started yelling.
"SATUROS!" Menardi yelled.
"Ugh, what do you want Menardi?" Saturos said.
Menardi was holding the book from the Bravado tribe, and waving it. "Another clue!" she said brightly.
"Is that why you woke me up?" Saturos spat. Menardi kicked his leg.
"Quiet, here… 'Legend says that the djinn guarded Sol Sanctum hones---'"
"SATUROS! SATUROS?" a frantic yell came from outside the cabin. Menardi scowled.
"Stupid interrupters," she muttered. A man with a red bandanna opened the cupboard door, with a panic-stricken face.
"Saturos… you got to help us, there's a… the legendary… Evil… Blessings, Ply or whatever…" the man was muttering without blinking. Saturos punched the man.
"Speak clearly, moron."
"Saturos… Saturos… a …a big… a big, a big giant squid rumored to be… to… to be the legendary suh—sea monster, Kraken… is outside, wreaking chaos!" the man stammered. A loud boom came from the outside of the ship. "Please, I beg you, please help us, Saturos… and the … err… ever … ever beautiful Menardi!"
"Heh, if Menardi is… umm… ever beautiful, what does that make me?"
"The elegant, the swift… the king… help us!" the man said without thinking.
"Show more expression." Saturos ordered. A plan began to automatically plot in his head.
"Please help us!"
"Not until you make Saturos shut up," Menardi groaned. She got up from the cupboard, and ran toward the noise.
"Well?" Saturos said, breaking the silence between them. The man looked back at Saturos, and started tripping over his words.
"My king, my lord, my majesty!"
"… Am I a good king? A good Lord? A good majesty?"
"… Y-yes, yes indeed… now heavens, please help us!"
"… Explain how good of a king I am…" Saturos said. He was toying with the perturbed looking man.
"Look, we are desperate for any help. I think I made my point clear that you're… a … err, good ruler. Need I say more, or will I need to rely on Menardi for help?"
"Menardi? Bah, really, can you trust her?" Saturos said. A sickening crack came from the outside of the cabin. Sweat was trickling off the man's face, as his eyes darted around.
"No… please help us sir…" the man pleaded. An evil laugh that unmistakably belonged to Menardi rang in the cold air. Saturos grinned evilly.
"Okay, I'll… err, help you," Saturos finally said, chuckling dryly to himself.

Saturos never expected Kraken to be that big. It was a gigantic squid, lying on the ship's deck, flailing its long and powerful tentacles. The man in the red bandanna gulped.
"Sir, please?"
"I wonder where Menardi is?" Saturos looked around. Of all of the several prone bodies, Menardi wasn't among them.
Kraken still didn't spot the two men. He unleashed a liquid with a murky gray hue. A man screamed as the caustic ink quickly ate up his skin.
"Oh my god, god save me, god saaave me!" the man was yelling, running around in circles. Saturos put his leg in front of the nervous man, and tripped him.
"Oww…" the man looked up to Saturos. "You know how many brain cells I could have lost?"
"Brain cells? You're probably sweating out all your brain spells now, acting like a total nimrod. Menardi, show yourself!" Kraken was repeatedly beating at a body of a sailor.
"Slay that disgusting thing!" the man shrieked. Kraken suddenly noticed the two, and abandoned the body, slithering toward them.
"SATUROS, DON'T LOAF AROUND NOOOW! WE COULD DIE!" the man squealed.
"Ha? Me, die? I am the immortal Saturos; no living thing can stand up to me! I will slay this beast, and I definitely won't die… but I know you will…"
"Huh? What do y—" The man never finished his sentence. With a swift blow, Saturos' fist crashed into the jaw of the man. The man choked, and spat out teeth reduced to the size of small pebbles. Saturos then stabbed his stomach, and kicked him. The man tried to talk, his eyes on Saturos, but, choking on his teeth, he stopped breathing and collapsed.
Saturos smiled. Then, a big tentacle came whipping up from the air down to Saturos' neck.
"ARGH!" Saturos screamed, his neck a mulberry color. A high-pitched laugh came from above. Saturos looked up, to see Menardi sitting there, a smile on her lips.
"How very odd, the… immortal Saturos can feel pain!" Kraken repeatedly whipped Saturos, causing him to spit out blood.
"Since you are my partner, I could help you… if you make the leader…" Menardi said, her finger on her chin. Saturos spat out some more blood, and crew his sword, slashing at the beast.
"I don't need ANYONE'S help, Menardi! I'd rather eat shit, for all it's worth," within a few more cuts, Kraken suffered from blood loss, and was killed.
Saturos forced a painful smile when he saw Menardi's scowl. "I am immortal for all it's worth, and I shall prove it by conquering the world with the power of alchemy, and I will, not you, Menardi, I will slay the Quill!"

Very short, but I'm not that good with graphic novels. I shall not threaten anyone, and you are free to review my story.
