"Ben, come back quickly!" Ryan shouted furiously at Ben. Ben looked frightened, too. He reacted quickly and swam toward Ryan.
Boom!
A huge black shadow suddenly emerged from the water, throwing a large amount of water into the air. The sea monster was at least ten meters long and looked like a plesiosaur. Its long body loomed over the lake, and its dark pupils looked at Ryan, Ben, and the others with malicious intent.
"I'm sure this guy isn't a monster created by Dr. Animo?" Gwen muttered.
The sea monster's hostile gaze slowly landed on Ben, who was closest to it and still swimming toward the dock.
Danger!
Biu~
Ryan hurriedly pressed the Omnitrix, and the screen quickly popped up. The first alien to appear was Heatblast. Without thinking, Ryan scrolled past it and landed on Four Arms.
"Ding!"
"Signable objects detected: Sea monster in the lake!"
"Choose to transform into Ripjaws and complete the check-in!"
However, the sign-in task made him hesitate slightly. It was clear that this task was meant to enhance Ripjaws!
"Strengthen Ripjaws!" Ryan made his decision in an instant. He quickly twisted the Omnitrix until it landed on the Ripjaws pattern and pressed down on it with force.
Boom!
A burst of light erupted! The sea monster, which had been about to bend over and attack Ben, was engulfed by the green light emanating from the dock.
"Ripjaws's teeth will bite this sea monster apart!"
With a bioluminescent lure on his head, a mouth full of shark-like teeth, and the strong body of a merman, it was Ripjaws! He opened his mouth of steel-sharp teeth, and the deterrent force was strong!
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for signing in successfully!"
"Get the green reward: Merman Karate from the world of One Piece, Jinbe's Merman Karate!"
Ripjaws's strength wasn't outstanding to begin with. With Merman Karate, however, he could fully exert his physical prowess and perfectly complement his natural predatory abilities. In less than a second, he learned all of Merman Karate's techniques!
In front of the sea monster, Ripjaws, who was originally only slightly threatening, suddenly became ferocious. The sea monster roared vigilantly a few times and stared at Ripjaws's body without moving.
"Ben, swim slowly. I'll come beside you." Ripjaws stared at the sea monster and shook his fishtail as he swam a dozen meters through the water to Ben's side. He positioned himself in front of Ben and Gwen, facing the sea monster directly.
The sea monster's massive body contrasted sharply with Ripjaws's slender figure. It seemed as though the sea monster could easily destroy him!
"Why did Ryan choose this alien? He doesn't look powerful at all. He should have chosen Four Arms." Gwen looked at Ripjaws's back with worry. She couldn't help but feel suspicious.
"Roar!" The sea monster immediately became furious and roared as he watched Ben swim away, causing Ripjaws's ears to buzz. "Hostile!" Ripjaws's eyes hardened. His right palm transformed into a knife, and he struck the water in front of him, unleashing an extremely powerful force.
He struck the water!
Boom!
Countless water droplets scattered across the sea monster's slender, snake-like body like bullets, striking it with rapid-fire sounds. The effect wasn't particularly strong, but it enraged the sea monster. Its eyes instantly turned murderous. It opened its sharp teeth and charged at Ripjaws, with water droplets sliding down its head.
"Be careful, Ripjaws!"
"It's over; the two of them aren't even proportionate!" Gwen and Ben anxiously watched Ripjaws, fearing that his thin body would be knocked out instantly. "Don't underestimate me, big guy." Ripjaws stared at the incoming sea monster, expressionless. When he saw the sea monster getting closer, he smashed his right fist out like lightning!
Fish-Man Karate: Spear of Water!
The terrifying strength of his straight punch caused the surrounding water to ripple, and a stream of water was lifted into the air with his punch!
Boom!
Ripjaws's "Spear of Water" punch collided heavily with the sea monster's head! The surrounding water unleashed a series of waves! Ripjaws's slender figure did not move at all. With his superb skills, he unleashed a terrifying power!
A touch of human-like shock appeared on the sea monster's face. Could its terrifying strength actually be blocked by this creature's tiny fist? Sharks are its prey!
"Okay, he's amazing! Does this merman have any special tricks?"
"I can't tell." Ben and Gwen felt relieved when they saw that the situation had stabilized.
"Roar!" The sea monster quickly recovered from the shock. It retracted its head and opened its mouth wide to bite Ripjaws! "Don't forget, my name is Ripjaws! Teeth are my strongest!" Ripjaws opened his mouth, revealing steel nails for teeth, and bit the sea monster's teeth! At the same time, he retracted his arms behind him and rolled up a stream of water. The liquid stream was solid!
