Beatrix and Scar felt troubled when they thought of their future. If they weren't able to take home the World Boss' loot, then they must prepare for the worst. They might be the ones who owned the guild, but investors were waiting for their return on investment. The board wouldn't kindly tolerate their blunders today.
So when another World Boss appeared, they found their chance for redemption. But they were faced with a new problem — the new Boss was in the middle of the ocean. They also had to consider whether the system would allow them to distance themselves from Jibblinplip and engage with another World Boss.
The same predicament was upon Sleeping Dragon. Cang Lu was sure as hell that he would be demoted from the leader's position if he couldn't take home something worthy enough to make the investors happy. The only chance he had was with the new World Boss. But first, they must find a way to battle it in the waves.
The other guilds, who didn't have the money to splurge on dozens of boats and balloons, were looking for ways to fight on water and air. Maybe there was some kind of quest that would trigger an event that could let them wade the ocean, just like how World Conquerors triggered an event and got those [Amulet of Ooze].
Unfortunately, the inhabitants were too busy evacuating, and all they spoke about was the two World Bosses and the fast-approaching Colossus.
There was simply no clue as to how to defeat the Kraken on the waters.
Or was it even killable to begin with?
