Golden sunlight shatters across the turquoise expanse of Serpent Bay, catching the iridescent shimmer of a powerful tail. Beneath the surface, Katsuki cuts through the water with aggressive precision, his black and orange scales flashing like a warning signal. On the shoreline, a stranded pirate Captain freezes, the half-built frame of a lean-to forgotten. He stands paralyzed, breath hitching in his chest, as he watches the mythical creature breach the surface before diving back into the depths with a violent splash. The Captain retreats into the shadows of the treeline, hiding his presence, captivated by the forbidden sight of the merman who remains blissfully unaware that he is being hunted by a human gaze.
