Ocean Master

Sebastian was stunned by the lizard's question. "Clown? Who's Clown?"

The Draconic lizard was clearly disappointed on hearing that but it didn't give up. It was pretty sure that Sebastian was somehow related to its old friend, so it decided to give other hints.

"Who taught you how to talk?"

"…"

"The heck!" Sebastian was left speechless once again, even the lizard understood that it phrased that wrongly as it revealed an awkward look which only made its lizard body even more fearsome.

"Who taught you the f*cking language. Like the one you just said, you f*cking son of a bitch".

The Lizard suddenly revealed a reminiscing expression on its draconic face on saying that. "Clown was just so good at speaking it, his best words were 'f*cking son of a bitch' and 'you motherf*cker'!".

"He is the best hunting partner I've ever had, he enabled me and my family to get the adaptation to live in this poisonous environment".

"Though he was small compared to us and other predators, he was strong and super tricky. With his help, we conquered the strongest predator of this island".

"It was only after he left that Croc monster rose with his family. Hehe, I'm pretty sure that they dare not attack my family because of him".

"Then, he always bragged that we should call him the Clown Lord but I personally preferred calling him the motherf*cker Lord".

"This…, so there's such a backstory to this seamount?" Sebastian was surprised as a lot of things went through his mind.

Seeing the obvious proud, honest, and excited look on the Draconic lizard's face as it recounted this, Sebastian was more or less sure that this story was true.

He felt suspicious immediately. Terms like 'son of a bitch' and 'motherf*cker', he was pretty sure that they originated from earth, or did earth steal those terms from another planet in the first place?

He shuddered at the thought but he quickly ignored it, following the rule of his second love which was ignoring things.

"What if this motherf*cker lord was also from earth?" He immediately felt excited as his teeth couldn't help but clap together uncontrollably.

Seeing the shark's reaction, the huge Draconic lizard also became more excited as it felt that this shark was really related to its old hunting partner.

"You know clown, right? Where is he now?"

Hearing this question, Sebastian was jolted out of his thoughts as he turned to look at the lizard with a dumbfounded expression on his face. He knew no clown, but he was not about to reveal that as his brain immediately started improvising.

"Clown…, clown…, clownfish!"

While feeling excited, he remembered another term used by the lizard. "He was small compared to us and other predators…"

"But if this guy is a clownfish, how can he be addressed as strong?"

Sebastian fell into a dilemma immediately but it did not last long as the lizard's expectant gaze was still on him.

The next second, he immediately laughed. "Haha, Clown, that tricky fool. Yes, I know him, he was once my partner too".

The lizard became even more excited. "Really?"

"Of course, what makes you think I'll lie to you about such small matters".

"Yes! So, where is he now?"

"…"

Sebastian laughed dryly. "You cannot see him now. He is far away, very very far away from this region. I think he also told me about you, he said if I meet you that you should be calm, he'll visit you himself in the future".

"Yes!" The Draconic lizard thrashed excitedly, almost stabbing Sebastian with its sharp tail in the process. 

"So, about the negotiation".

"Yes, I agree, let's destroy the rulers of the seamount, just the way I did back in my prime with motherf*cker Lord".

The Lizard suddenly paused, seeming to have discovered something. Seeing this, Sebastian felt his heart skip a beat as he feared for the worst but what the lizard said next left him speechless.

"Clown is the motherf*cker Lord, I'm the lizard Lord, then which lord are you?"

"Ok, there's no need".

"There's a need!" The lizard roared, causing Sebastian to flinch speechlessly.

"Ok, call me the Megalodon Lord".

"Hmmm, that's cool, clown used to say that too". The lizard smiled before asking. "Are you a Megalodon?"

"Yeah". Sebastian answered smugly but froze on seeing the expression of ridicule on the lizard's face.

"You think you can fool me? Haha, there's no Megalodon yet in this region. Even Old Mak is still a great white, then you're a Megalodon. You really think you're special, just like the motherf*cker Lord?"

Hearing that, Sebastian's expression froze as a lot of things went through his mind. This confirmed his conjecture again, his system helped him or the evolution options showed during his evolution were not supposed to appear now.

He used his silence to acknowledge the Lizard's guess that he was fooling around. Right now, he really wanted to meet or even know more about this Motherf*cker Lord.

After expertly dodging the lizard's next attempts at starting random conversations, he finally dragged the conversation back to the main- the planned attack against the Crocodile family.

"Do you have a plan already?" The lizard asked expectantly.

"I'll provide it before the next day".

As Sebastian asked and started getting more detailed information about the Crocodile family through the lizard, a loud sound suddenly reverberated from the distance.

"Big bro! Save me!"

Turning his head, Sebastian saw a pitiful Verni swimming rapidly while a horde of Draconic lizards followed in pursuit behind him.

He already suffered lots of injuries through his body, seeing Sebastian again was like he finally saw his last source of hope for survival.

Seeing the shark, Sebastian suddenly felt a little guilty as he let it suffer so much. With a calm face though, he turned to face the Lizard Lord.

The enormous lizard hovered up in the water slightly, it raised its head and roared at its family members.

Roar!!!

Hearing this, the Draconic lizards in pursuit stopped. They were a little confused by the order, but they respected their family head enough to obey him unconditionally so they simply left to do their things.
