A dark plume of smoke rose from the tallest palm tree on the island, visible for kilometers. Ninazu had rigged baskets up to the foliage, most containing skull-sized rocks, ranging from a fox’s weight class to a lion. Two contained nothing but moonshine, and the smell of alcohol could be smelled even at the bottom of the tree, where drops muddied the ground.
“I AM COCO LORD!” Ninazu declared, screaming to the sky. “HERE TO TAKE THIS ISLAND FOR MYSELF, MUA-HAHAHAHA!”
The serval waved a paw, manipulating several fist-sized stones to dunk into the alcohol. They rose up, dripping alcohol, and she sent them ablaze with a paw touch each. Floating in the air, they orbited Ninazu as she looked for a victim in the desolated lands below.
“Ninazu, the fuck—” a raccoon said, before Ninazu cut him off with a rain of flaming stones.
The raccoon dodged and weaved, but couldn’t find any cover in the ruined terrain. He looked back, ducked a flaming rock aimed for his head, and jumped into a shallow ditch. His leg stuck out, and Ninazu thwacked it. “Ow, Ninazu! That really hurt!”
“YOU WANT TO DEFEAT THE COCO LORD, IS THAT IT? YOU’LL HAVE TO DO BETTER THAN THAT!”
Ninazu growled, shaking her horned head. With a wave of another paw, she sent the next line of rocks into the alcohol. Once she had a full orbiting deadly display, she huffed. “COME ON, I SPENT ALL THIS TIME SETTING UP THIS TRAINING! SOMEONE SHOW SO I CAN STONE YOUR FACE!”
