Start By Becoming A Mangaka
chapter-769

"You guys hurry up and inform uncle and the police," Conan said. He knew that the entrance of the Two Goddesses was closed because of the earthquake and there was only another place to enter the Seabed Palace to get a treasure.

"Yes," the detective boy nodded and hurriedly went out to inform Kogorou and the police.

Conan looked at the uncle who was the owner of the house who wanted to take Yamaguchi who fainted to the room letting her rest. He needed to save Ran, "Uncle, can you take me out to sea? I need you to send me out to that island." He had also solved the riddle map and knew that the treasure hunters would go to the Yoriyajima Island to get a treasure of Mary and Bony.

"What?" He was surprised when he heard his request.

"Not to find a treasure. I want to save Ran-neechan and her friend," Conan said.

The uncle looked at him for a while thinking whether he should accept it or not.

"Shinichi."

Suddenly someone called his name.

Conan turned, "Professor."

Professor Agasa was surprised that there was another person. He coughed and said, "Conan-kun. I heard that Ran-kun and Sonoko-kun have been kidnapped."

Conan nodded, "Yeah."

The uncle looked at both of them for a while and decided to place Yamaguchi to rest first.

Conan sighed and felt really worried about both Ran and Sonoko.

Professor Agasa looked at him with a serious expression and said, "I know that you are going to go to save them even if I try to stop you. Wait a minute, I want to give you something." He said and went to his room.

"I will get the boat ready," the uncle said to him.

"Got it," Conan said.

Professor Agasa came back while bringing something, "Bring this with you. These are mini-air tanks."

Conan took the mini-air tanks and checked his new invention. He saw that the shape was similar to a very thick pen.

"Just pull this, put it in your mouth, and you'll get 10 minutes worth of oxygen," Professor Agasa said while giving him an example.

Conan also tried the same and saw there was a mouthpiece that could be used to suck oxygen inside the mini-tank.

"Too bad that I only had two with me though," Professor Agasa said and reprimanded him, "Save it when you really need it."

"Thank you, professor," Conan said.

Ran and Sonoko were huddling together in front of the treasure hunters who were threatening them.

Sonoko was scared but Ran was showing hostility toward them.

Ran was searching for a chance to beat them but she was afraid that something would happen to her best friend.

The treasure hunters were changing their clothes into wetsuits while still threatening them with a knife. They placed an oxygen tube on their backs ready to dive into the sea.

One of them placed the oxygen tube in front of them, "The two of you can share one air tank."

Ran hugged Sonoko and said, "You don't need us already."

"I need a favor from one of you," Izuyama said.

"Get ready!" Matsumoto said.

Ran and Sonoko didn't have a choice. Both of them started to prepare their equipment to dive and couldn't help but notice a red stain on their wetsuit.

'Blood?' Ran thought. She got a bad premonition and realized what they wanted to do with both of them.

Suddenly one of the treasure hunters slashed his knife on Sonoko's arms.

"KYAAAAA!!!!" Sonoko was in pain and held her arms.

"Sonoko!" Ran hurriedly helped her friend.

Matsumoto looked at them with a smile, "It's your turn, miss."

"What exactly do you want us to do?" Ran asked.

"Your turn will be later," Matsumoto said.

Ran gnashed her teeth looking at them in hate.

The sky has become dark and the wind has become stronger. The weather forecast was right since there was a storm that has happened right now.

The group of detective boys hurriedly went to the police station to tell Kogorou and the police what had happened.

"What?!" Kogorou was startled and asked, "Ran and Sonoko were kidnapped by Matsumoto? Where did they go?"

"They should have gone to that island," Genta said.

"Yorioyajima!" Mitsuhiko said.

"Because they found out where the treasure is, and they're going to get it now!" Ayumi said.

"Get ready to go out to the sea! I'm going to save them!" Kogorou didn't hesitate and said, His only daughter was in danger and there was no way that he could stay here.

"Yes sir!" Uehira said.

The police also followed them ready to save both Ran and Sonoko.

Conan was in the ship that was prepared by the uncle of the owner of the house. He crouched down and tried to balance himself since the waves were very strong because of the storm.

That uncle used to be a treasure hunter in the past but has decided to retire and become a fisherman after falling in love with his wife on this island. His name is Kazuo Mima.

"But why did they take hostages with them? To find a treasure, hostages would only be in the way," Kazuo said.

"Because they have other uses for them," Conan said.

"Other uses?" Kazuo was confused.

"They were both injured by a rifle last night. The place they're going right now is the same spot that sharks attacked yesterday," Conan explained.

"Ha?!" Kazuo was startled and realized, "They're going to be used as bait?!"

"Most likely," Conan said and squinted his eyes. He ran to the front of the ship to see better and said, "Over there!" He saw a ship that was used by the treasure hunters to get into the sea.

Kazuo started to drive his ship to get closer to the ship that was stolen by the treasure hunters.

Conan observed the ship and saw a bloodstain on the ship. He clenched his hands, "I knew it!"

Kazuo stopped the ship and walked toward him, "What should we do?"

"What should we do? There's not much time left," Kazuo said.

"Go to Yorioyajima," Conan said.

"What?!" Kazuo was startled once again.

"My body should be small enough to get through the entrance of the Two Goddessses," Conan said.

The sky was dark and the waves were very strong but his ship was very stable.

Everyone could see that they were moving toward Yoroiyajima.

"Nyaa, it is a very fishy smell," Kuroka said.

"Yeah," Yuuki felt that these waves weren't that normal either.

"W - What is that?" Paula asked.

"....."

They suddenly saw a purple fog that appeared in front of them but that wasn't all since they also saw something incredible from that purple fog. There were three large monsters appearing in front of them.

"Kraken?" Akane was speechless.

"...."

"Is this CG? This island is awesome!" Kuina said.

"No, it might be a virtual reality game," Paula said.

"..."

"What should we do now?" Tsugumi asked.

"Well, let's just shoot them now," Yuuki said.

They looked at each other and nodded. They were in the pirate ship and there was an enemy in front of them. They only needed to do one thing and that was slain this monster and made it into takoyaki and grilled octopus.
