Luckiest King ever was, maybe

King POV

Sailing the sea isn't a bit like what they show in movies. Everywhere on the ship it screaks, shakes, and rattles. I don't even want to start talking about the place they call "Poop Deck". My privacy is forever gone. I lost my innocence.

The ship's crew are pleasant. They don't bother me much besides staring at me every chance they get. I'm used to it. My only place of escape is my room. They placed a whole king-sized bed here, with silk pillows and a nice warm blanket. Not so bad. I would prefer a TV over it all, though. I asked around and some people lent me their books. Government laws, Marine regiments, and some history books. Quite an interesting world it is, I gotta admit.

Heavenly Dragons are like big-shot politicians in my world. You can't do anything to them according to the law. Half of laws is what they can do and you cannot.

Like they have a law that makes you a slave for 69 years for stealing a Sweet Roll. How many times did it happen before it was made into a law?

The Marines' regiment is something between police and army innerworkings. Lame. I'll return it today.

I read a little bit of that history book I borrowed. Twenty whole pages of propaganda. It's like I just read a script for an ad by the government.

I feel like I'm on a tourist boat ride, except everywhere you look it's just the sea. You can't do that on Earth anymore. There is like a 99% chance you'll get attacked by a monster.

It's a nice evening. I've been told that the winds are in our favour. We might reach our destination in a two week's time.

Another super-good news is that I'm kind of a genius. I developed the perfected method to fight sea sickness. You stand on the edge of the ship and breathe in... and breathe out as the waves hit the ship (AN: works for King).

Breathe in.... breathe out....

Breathe in....

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

-------------------------------------------------

A monster of vaguely anthropoid outline but with an octopus-like head whose face was a mass of feelers, a scaly, rubbery-looking body, prodigious claws on its hind and fore feet, and long, narrow wings behind, emerged from the deep waters. It was a fucking giant sea king. It's fucking Cthulhu. Everybody in a large area was majorly fucked.

It was enormous. Almost half the size of that giant who destroyed B-City. And that's huge. Right in Kings face.

King was scared. Shitless.

He couldn't even scream. His breath escaped him. His body became frozen. Every muscle tightend to it's absolute limit.

Cthulhu slowly rose more and more out of the water.

*RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE*

King engine was roaring louder than ever.

Some crew members slowly came out onto the deck to look at what happened. They had a similar reaction to King.

King lost it. He was choking on air. As he gasped for air, he managed to spew out random sounds:

"Y' ah ahog throdog than ymg' ahor ever ah. Ahna mgyogor. Ymg' ah gof'n"

That roughly translates to 'I am more powerful than you could ever be. Stay down. You are a small child.' from R'lyehian, the tongue of ancient cosmic dieties.

Cthulhu looked at King with it's giant eyes and felt terror. True terror. The Great Old One felt terror. What in the world could say it was a child?

Then there were various monsterous figures emerging from the deep waters. They are a part of the force that was prepared in order to conquer this world. But it seems like somebody has already claimed it.

*RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE*

Cthulhu tried to guess what entity this was. But it couldn't. A great mystery stood before it.

A hundred more creatures emerge from the water.

*RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE*

King still couldn't move.

In the end, Cthulhu remembered all of its thirteen children and said, in a deep otherworly language:

"Ahnyth h' llll hai. Y' epbug wgah'nagl og ephaiaglor"

That roughly translates to 'Serve him for now. I will go home very quickly, 'as it collapsed into itself as a mass of humongous tentacles and completely disappeared.

It would never come back to this world; it's next destination was "Earth" (AN: and after that, let Saitama deal with it lol). Cthulhu had a strict rule against messing with unknown entities.

*RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE*

"KING- SAMAA" marines cried.

"HUH?" King suddenly turned back and left his trance of horror. His heart couldn't stop just yet. He needed therapy.

"THAT WAS THE SCARIEST SEA KING I EVER SAW!"

"HOW?"

"WHAT DID YOU DO?"

All of them piss their pants. And the "Poop deck" expanded.

King needed some good time to even catch his breath. As soon as he did, he said to them quietly:

"How quick can we go?"

He still saw some little monsters in the sea. They needed to flea now.

"W-we can row, but-"

Suddenly, creatures swam under and behind the boat and started to push it forward as loyal dogs.

Ships' speeds increased to twice as fast as it were before.

King walked to his room with violently shaking legs.

"I need some rest. No questions"

Marines were too shocked to notice. The only thing they knew was that King controlled the sea monstes with his immesuarable might and he just walked away unscathed.

Or did he move that fast that they didn't notice his attack?

Some Marines noticed gray hair on each other's heads. The crew became twenty years older in a single minute.

This group quickly became known as the "Gray Guard". No pirate or regular sea king scared them.

But for now, they still had an important person to escort.
