September 17th, 1524
Two weeks ago, Aqua defeated Lord Kiros, the captain of Tiger Shark Pirates, and put an end to his fake gemstone scam. After Kiros falls along with his empire, he’s just getting bruised, exhausted and weak to move his muscles, but he ends up unconscious.
So, King Ryujin and his Royal Army put him in the dungeon for the lifetime. Kiros is bound by the chains which make him never break out of the hail.
Kiros is still alive, but he deserves only ONE sardine every breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
As for Coral, she couldn’t be happier than Chel staying with her and Aqua. So, they’ve decided to move out to their own house, just outside the castle.
They both lived like a new married couple, even though they are not married yet.

In the castle, Raki talks to King Ryujin about how he somehow summoned the whales after he was chased by a couple of leopard seals two weeks ago.
While he does, Ryujin asks the masseur, which is a six-armed octopus Fish-Man, who gives him massages.
“So let me guess some straight, while you’re keeping an eye on Coral two weeks ago, you were chased by two leopard seals, and then you somehow called for help to two orcas?” Ryujin asked while the masseur rubs gently on his shoulder and massages them.
“Yes, Your Majesty. When I thought I’m going to be their main meal, I suddenly called a distress call, and somehow two killer whales heard me and saved me from the jaws of death. I thought the orcas were going to eat me first, but then…” Raki explained, then paused while looking unsure.
“They didn’t. I wonder why.” Raki wondered.
“By the Gods… Raki, it seems your powers have been awakened.” Ryujin gasped, amazed.
“My powers?” Raki questioned, surprised.
“Yes, you’re holding a power that dwells within that can summon not just orcas, but all kinds of whales and dolphins at your commands, and will protect you.” Ryujin said.
“I had no idea… I mean I thought King Neptune is the only one who alone can communicate with whales.” Raki gasped.
“Believe it or not, not just all royal mermen who can communicate with the whales. Even my daughter can communicate with both fish, sharks, turtles, dolphins, and whales.” Ryujin replied.
“Hmm, speaking of your daughter, she left Atlantis yesterday. I mean she already informed you before she left, but do you think she’s going to be okay?” Raki asked worriedly.
“Yes, she was a little bit nervous back the day after she asked me and Athena her permission to go out to explore the ocean.” Ryujin said as the masseur rubs his spine gently.
FLASHBACK
♫The Lion King (2019) - Rafiki’s Fireflies♫
Yesterday…
In the throne room, Aqua was a bit nervous while looking down in worry, and said to his parents. “Father, mother. Coral said she can’t go with me today because, well… She’s dating Chel, so I think I’m going out alone.”
“Oh, don’t worry, my dear.” Athena said as she hugged her daughter. “You'll do just fine. Sometimes the explorers can go out alone and believe in themselves. I’m sure that you can handle it all by yourself.”
“Mother’s right, Aqua.” Ryujin said as he approached his daughter. “If you ever feel homesick, then you’re always welcome back home.”
“Thanks, father.” Aqua said as she hugged her father.
Raki sniffed and dried off his tears from his wing. “Good luck, young Princess.”
Aqua breaks her embrace with Ryujin, and they exchange one final look. Then she swims off to the door, and then after a while, she’s swimming off the castle, and looking at the horizon of the landscape. Take a deep breath, and then sigh softly.
She can feel that she does not feel nervous anymore; she’s getting excited to go out alone then she looks at her parents and then Chel and Coral over her shoulder.
“Don’t worry, Coral. You’re going to be A-okay!” Coral said as she gave her thumb-up.
“Thanks, Coral. And Chel?” Aqua asked.
“I’ll take care of her, Your Majesty. Have a nice trip.” Chel said.
Aqua nodded before she swam away and headed out to the wilderness.
FLASHBACK ENDS…
Back to the present day, Ryujin lies on his belly while the masseur massages his tail.
“But in the end, she feels more adventurous than ever. I was about to go with her, but you let her do this on her own, so I don’t want to stand in her way or just slow her down.” Raki said honestly.
“Yes, and she understands Coral has Chel as her new girlfriend, so she lets her stay with her.” Ryujin said.
“Do you think she will be back when she feels so… homesick?” Raki asked.
“Oh, I’m sure she will come back when she feels like it. But in the meantime, maybe she probably found another treasure or a magical pearl.” Ryujin said.
“Hmm, yeah, probably.” Raki said.
Few minutes later…
At the King and Queen’s Bedroom, Athena stood on her balcony and looked up at the sun reflection on the surface.
She wonders how it feels to be above the ocean and… fly in the sky.
Then she noticed a strong presence behind her, and that’s Ryujin who came to their room and smiled at her.
“It’s okay, Athena. Aqua will be fine.” Ryujin said as Athena chuckles.
“It’s not Aqua I’m worried about. It’s just that I can't stop thinking about what's far above the ocean.” Athena said as she looked at the surface.
“Hehehe,” Ryujin chuckles. “You’ve already seen the sky many times since we visited the Odyssey Kingdom every month. Why are you thinking about it right now?”
“Well, I’m just wondering… Don't you ever wonder what it's like up there, looking down on the world?” Athena asked.
“You mean, flying up there?” Ryujin asked, “It’s not very easy to go up there, unless you have a magical pearl to make you fly or summon the wings of the birds.”
“You seriously wanna be up there, flying?” Ryujin asked.
“Sometimes, in my dreams, I'm soaring above the clouds, free.” Athena sighed. “I wonder if my daughter has the same dreams as I have.”
“Oh, I’m sure she has the same dreams as yours, my angelfish. Either way, it would be wonderful to fly in the sky to explore above the ocean and lands. Maybe Aqua found a magical pearl to make the dreams of yours come true.” Ryujin said as he wrapped his left arm around Athena and hugged her.
“Yeah… Hopefully.” Athena sighed.
Meanwhile in the landscape of coral reef, Aqua swam over it while vocalizing melody. Then she found an old navigation telescope, and picked it up and looked at it.
“Hmm, a telescope. Someone must have clumsily dropped this device.” Aqua said, as she looked through the telescope, and was amazed. “Wow… Amazing! I can see closer and bigger at the horizon!”
♫The Jungle Book - Mowgli's Leaving♫
Then she saw a ship graveyard; a place where massive ships sunken to the bottom of the ocean. With some curiosity, Aqua swam towards and hid behind the rock.
“Shipwreck graveyard. The place where the hulls of scrapped ships are left to decay and disintegrate, or left in reserve. Poor sailors or pirates, or even Marines who lost their ships after their battles.” Aqua said while looking at them through the telescope.
And then she saw a sunken cruiser ship, and it looked even bigger than other pirate ships.
“Wait. Is that… a sunken cruiser ship? I’ve never seen that one before.” Aqua said, curiously.
Then she saw a male sea turtle, Sheldon, who slowly swam past her and hums gracefully.
Aqua looked at the telescope for a moment, then she got an idea; she swam to Sheldon and stepped into his path.
“Hello, Sheldon.” Aqua greets. “Sorry to step into your way, but would you like to do me a favor?”
“Oh, sure thing, Princess Aqua. What can I do for you?” Sheldon asked.
“Would you take this telescope to my father? Maybe he needs this to look after the enemies in the distance.” Aqua said as she gave the spyglass to Sheldon who gently took it and put it inside his shell.
“Hmm, sure. It would be my pleasure to do it for you. Bye.” Sheldon nodded before swam off as Aqua wave goodbye to him then swam off.
She swam over the sunken pirate and marine ships, then she reached into the cruiser ship. Aqua peeks inside the ship, and it has a big hole, and it was big as a killer whale.
“Hmm, this hole is big enough to get in. That was too easy.” Aqua said as she swam inside the sunken cruiser ship.
But she didn’t notice that she was stalked by an 8 meters long great white shark, which circles around the sunken cruiser ship and waits for its moment to attack.
Aqua went through the hallways to explore. Everything, mostly, is covered by seaweed and moss, and the wood is getting rotten. She arrived at the door, opened it very slowly, and saw the ballroom, and it’s very huge.
“Wow… Look at this place…” Aqua gasped as she swam slowly around the ballroom. “This must be a ballroom. Hmm, I guess the people abandoned the ship when it was attacked by pirates or sea monsters.”
Then Aqua's swimming to the next room, and this time it’s a captain cabin, and looked around. It was triplet times bigger than her room.
Suddenly, she saw a faint glow within the chest of drawers. She swam into it, and opened it very slowly, and then she saw a cyan colored pear.
“Oh…” Aqua coos while her eyes shimmering amazed, then she carefully grabs the pearl and lifts it up. “What a beautiful pearl. Oh, look how it glistens! I think I’m going to keep it. I wonder where it comes from.”
As she's wondering where this pearl came from, and how the humans are hiding it, the pearl somehow glows and hovers above her hands. Aqua’s looking at it with her surprised expression. And then the pearl slowly floats towards her bra with the star symbol in the middle of it.
And then the pearl somehow attached into her bra. Aqua tries to remove it, but it’s stuck, and she’ll never take it off.
“Ugh. What’s going on? It won't come off!” Aqua grunts, then sighed hopelessly. “Oh, it’s no use.”
“And I don’t want to break it with my Haki hardened fist, because it looks so beautiful.” Aqua said while looking at her hand which clenched into her fist.
Then Aqua sighed as she looked at the pearl while looking in a mirror, and she thinks the pearl looks good on her bra.
“Well, at least it looks good on my bra. I think I can get used to it.” She said, then she's looking through the window and then at the sun reflection at the surface.
Then she started to think about her dream since she had slept back at the castle a few days ago.
“You know… I can’t just help it, but I always remember a dream about being up there… above the ocean and flying in the sky, soaring above the clouds, free like a bird and with no care around me.” Aqua whispered.
“But then again… It’s not possible.” Aqua scoffed, then she looked up again and looked hopeful. “Or is it?”
♫Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance - Dearly Beloved♫
She closed her eyes and clasped her hands, and whispered. “Yes… Maybe someday… If it’s happening… I could soar into the skies… And can fly like a bird. And I would like to explore the skies and look down on the world below.”
And then the pearl somehow started to glow in neon color by itself which made Aqua open her eyes and gasped silently.
“The pearl is… glowing?” Aqua asked.
And after a few seconds, Aqua’s body started to glow like a star.
Before she's wondering what happened next to her, the sound of air entering a balloon filled the room.
At first, Aqua thought it was a trick of the pearl, but it looked like her breasts were… expanding? Her bra started to slowly push forward, but expanded in her size.
Her slim waist started to grow like she was steadily gaining fat. Aqua quickly took notice of her situation, eyes growing wide as she looked down at her expanding belly.
“What’s happening? Am I… inflating like a balloon?” Aqua asked in shock as her waist felt almost like she was blowing up a beach ball underneath it.
The hissing noise steadily grew louder as her tail started to swell beneath her.
Moving her arms wide at her sides, she continued to stare at her inflating self with an odd trepidation. Her tail bulged up and straightened out like some sort of pool toy.
As her tail moves slowly side to side, it's making loud squeaks as they expanded to better accommodate the magical flow of air that was being siphoned into her body which had expanded into 10 feet in all directions, her arms puffing up like rubber tubes, and her breasts inflating to 36 inch balloons.
Even though her arms are blowing up, she somehow manages to move them around instead of spreading them out into T-Pose and being immobile.
After her body reached 16.40 ft or 5 meters in length and 2.5 meters tall from her belly to back, the hissing noise subsided, and she stopped inflating, and the glowing faded out.
Her once slim upper body had completely turned out to be an enormous ball of rubber.
Aqua takes a soft and smooth breath some few times, and looks around her ballooned body and carefully rubs her skin. It was like touching a cloud.
It was incredibly soft, and thin like a balloon. Pressing a finger just a tiny bit into her side, Aqua could feel the air wishing around inside her, delicately rubbing her hollowed out body.
“This feels… so soft like a pillow…! It’s incredible. This magical pearl somehow made me blow up like a pufferfish.” Aqua gasped, amazed while smiling widely.
Then she carefully moves her tail, and she somehow moves forward. The magical air somehow makes her lighter as a feather. Then she’s looking in a mirror, and her eyes widen in surprise.
“So this is what I look like when I’m puffed up. So bizarre, but…” Aqua whispered, amazed as she slowly spun backwards like she’s looking at the roof first, then at the wall upside-down, then the floor, and then at the mirror. “This feels amazing.”
And then she spun slowly around to feel her inflated body, then she’s looking in a mirror again.
“And somehow… I feel so light. It feels like… I can swim faster than that.” Aqua said as she’s looking in a mirror, she saw a great white shark appear in front of the window.
♫The Little Mermaid (2023) - Shark Attack♫
Aqua gasped, and swam aside despite being ballooned up, and the shark chomped through the window and started chasing after the mermaid.
The Mermaid Princess swims through the furniture, but her ballooned body just pushes them out of her way as the shark tries to bite her tail. Luckily Aqua is too fast for the shark, but couldn’t fight it in her bloated state, so she’s trying to escape from the shark's teeth.
Aqua breaks through the door, and the debris falls and blocks the shark’s path. Few seconds later, Aqua arrived in the ballroom.
“Is it gone?” Aqua asked.
Don’t count on it, Aqua. The great white shark breaks through the wall and almost bites Aqua’s left breast while the mermaid dodges it. The shark makes a turning point as Aqua tries to use her counterattack.
“Tail: Armaments!” Aqua said.
SHEEN!! Her tail became black and shiny, then she swung it and hit the shark’s head to send it into the broken tables and chairs.
Aqua turns around to the windows, and breaks out of the cruiser boat, and swims across the ship graveyard as the shark’s chase after her.
The shark is 3 meters bigger than Aqua’s inflated body, and increasing its speed since they’re now in the open sea.
“It’s too fast! I’ve gotta outsmart it! But how?” Aqua cried.
Suddenly, she got an idea; if her body is so light, then maybe she can float in the sky for a moment then fall back to the ocean until the shark gives up.
Then Aqua swims upwards and heads towards the surface, prompting the shark to pursue her at high speed. At the last moments, she breached the sea with a splash, and she somehow flew into the sky.
The shark breached the sea and tried to reach Aqua, but it unfortunately missed as it snapped its jaws before it fell back to the ocean and left with a big splash.
Aqua took some breath several times before she let her deep sigh.
“Phew… That was close. But I made it.” Aqua said before she realized that… she’s not falling.
♫Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX - Isn't It Lovely?♫
Aqua gasped in shock that she didn’t fall back to the water. She just… floats in the air. She’s even lighter than she thought. Maybe the magical air that produced from the pearl makes her weightless that makes her swimming faster underwater and flying in the sky.
“I… I’m flying…! I’m flying!” Aqua whispered, amazed. Then she smiled widely and opened her mouth in excitement.
She remembers that her dream is about floats above the ocean and being free in the sky, soaring above the clouds.
And here she is, floating in the air even though her body is inflated, which now she doesn’t mind, in fact she was happy about her dreams coming true.
“This feels like my dream comes true!” Aqua said as she moved her tail up and down.
And after that, she moves forward through the air. It feels like she could air-swimming in the sky instead of in the ocean.
“I can glide through the air as well. This feels so different from swimming in the ocean. But This is great!” Aqua cried, exhilarated. “I think I started to explore the skies.”
Then Aqua keeps gliding through the skies while floats above the clouds in different shapes and sizes. And she can feel the wind rushing past her face and the sun shines in her face.
“This air feels so refreshing. I think I’m getting used to this.” Aqua sighed while gliding through the skies.
After a while, she saw the Kingdom of Odyssey while being up high, and looked down at the city. Not even King Draco or his people saw her since she’s way up high above the clouds.
“Everyone looks like a small plankton down there while I’m way up here.” Aqua giggles, then looks at the distant land beyond the city. “I wonder what’s more beyond the city. I’ve got to see it!”
Then she glides across the city and heads out to the wilderness to explore the land.
Meanwhile at Atlantis Castle, Sheldon has arrived at the throne room while taking the telescope out of his shell and gives it to King Ryujin.
“Oh, a handheld telescope. Where did you get it from?” Ryujin asked.
“Your daughter, Aqua, finds it, a bit far away from the ship graveyard.” Sheldon replied.
“Ship graveyard?” Raki asked, worriedly. “Those waters are dangerous. There are lots of apex predators. Including the great white sharks.”
“There’s no need to worry, Raki. Aqua has rested for a few days after she’s defeated Kiros, and now she’s allowed to explore the dangerous waters, and she will always be extra careful.” Ryujin said.
“So far, she’s doing fine since she left to explore yesterday.” Athena said. “That’s the good news.”
“Indeed, but I think it’s a good thing that she has found the spyglass.” Ryujin said as Raki took the spyglass and tried to look through it. “Only so far we only have binoculars. But I think this spyglass could be useful for looking for the enemies or our allies in the horizon.”
♫Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX - Laughter and Merriment♫
“You can say that again. But it seems to me that everything is farther away now. And so are you, sir.” Raki said as he’s looking through the spyglass the wrong way.
Ryujin and Athena chuckles at Raki who lowers the telescope to reveal them big again.
“Whoa, what a swim!” Raki cried, amazed while looking at the audience.
“Raki, you goof. You looked through the telescope the wrong way.” Ryujin said as Raki put his wing in front of his beak.
“Oops, hehehe… Sorry.” Raki chuckles, sheepishly as he swims towards the castle balcony, and turns around the telescope.
Using the telescope, Raki can see more of the city, the people, and then the landscape from a closer perspective, and gasp. “Wow…! I can see closer with this. This is amazing.”
Then he sees big blue eyes too close to the telescope, and Raki screams, “AAAH!!” and tosses the telescope into the air. And saw it was Coral who laughed at the penguin who freaked out.
“It’s okay, Raki. It’s only me.” Coral said as she caught the telescope.
“Oh, what a relief.” Raki sighed, relieved. “For a moment, I thought that was a giant jellyfish with big eyes.”
“Heh, maybe because you looked through this telescope, eh?” Coral chuckles.
“Yeah. It was found by Aqua. She asked Sheldon to deliver it to King Ryujin.” Raki replied.
“Really? So that’s how she found it. But where?” Coral asked.
“Oh, not far away from the ship graveyard. That place is too dangerous for one explorer, even for our princess.” Raki said, worriedly.
“Come on, this is Aqua we’re talking about. She may be alone since she left us yesterday, but she’s very brave just like her father.” Coral said.
“[Sighs] Sometimes, Coral, you do sound like her mother.” Raki sighed as he left inside.
“Gee, someday I might be a mother. I might even have a daughter like…” Coral wondered, but then blushed. “... Uh, maybe I shall think about that later…”
Then she turned around and looked up to see the sun reflecting on the surface.
“I wonder how you are doing in your expedition, Aqua.” Coral wondered, curiously.
♫Kingdom Hearts III - Sky of Wonder♫
Meanwhile above the land of Odyssey Kingdom, Aqua, who’s still inflated, is still gliding in the sky. She saw lots of different animal species down there.
She now flew above the grass plains and saw the herd of horses running through the grass field. It’s so outstanding to see the animals can run with their legs like that.
Then she saw a flock of birds was flying past her as the Mermaid Princess watched them flying off forward.
“This is amazing. Thanks to their wings, birds can fly as well.” Aqua said, amazed.
Then she looked at her inflated body, and giggled. “Well, who needs the wings when I’m puffed up like a balloon, and using my tail as my back-wings.”
While moving her tail rapidly, Aqua propelled forwards to the sky, and headed further in the land of Odyssey.
Aqua’s now flying over the desert environment. Everything, almost, even on the hills, is made of sand.
Most deserts, far from being empty and lifeless, are home to a variety of plants, animals, and other organisms. But here, in the Odyssey Kingdom country, there are some plants, mountains, trees, and water.
Good thing about our mermaid princess is that she’s not living in the desert, because the air’s very hot; with daytime temperatures as high as 54 °C (130 °F).
“So… hot,” Aqua panted as she kept flying in the hot sky. “This place is so hot… I may have to find some water. Or else I might be dehydrated to death.”
Then she saw a large lake far away in the horizon.
“There it is!” Aqua shouted as she’s flying faster towards the lake.
As she has arrived at the lake, Aqua flies down to the lake, diving underwater to refresh her skin, even her inflated body.
“Haa… So refreshing. I’m glad this water is chilly. I think I’ll stay here for a while” Aqua sighed. “I only wish that if this pearl can keep me hydrated, I could have survived the heat, even the deserts.”
“Well, I guess I’m the first mermaid that travels in the desert. Or over across the deserts.” Aqua said as she gently rubs her inflated body.
After a while, Aqua breached the lake and flew off into another area with a different environment; this time it has the opposite climate.
The location has snow, ice, and of course there are some lakes, but they are very cold. Even the winds are getting cold too, and it’s snowing.
Aqua saw some animals like seals, polar bears and of course penguins, and can feel the cold temperature at -31 Fahrenheit.
“Brrr…! Didn’t know this place has a different climate than a desert.” Aqua shivered while holding her arms to keep her warmth.
Aqua looks down at the lakes, and hopes there is warm water. But as she goes down, her ballooned belly touches the ice, and slides across.
“Wooaaaah! The ice sure is slippery!” Aqua cried before she saw a large hole, and dived through the large hole before the polar bear swiped its claws to catch a large prey, but failed.
Aqua sighed in relief, and said. “That was close. I’m so glad that I wasn’t caught by a big hairy carnivore.”
“And most of all, the water feels so good.” Aqua said as she can feel the normal temperature underwater, but still shivers. “Brrr… I’m still freezing. If only I learned how to warm myself if my Haki doesn’t help.”
She’s unaware that the fur seals heard her shivers, and they think they could keep her warm with their fur.
The seals approach Aqua and gently rub her inflated body to keep her warm. Aqua turned her head and saw them rubbing them to keep them warm.
“Aw, thanks, seals.” Aqua coos as one of the seals rubs its head to hers.
A bit later, Aqua has arrived into another area with lush jungle with lots of tropical trees, animals like birds, elephants, monkeys, fishes and crocodiles, temples and rivers.
Aqua glides above the river while feeling the water with her hand, and giggled. The water feels so good too, even in the jungle.
Then she can feel the current is getting stronger and looks at what’s ahead and says. “I wonder how the current is getting stronger.”
As she followed the river, Aqua saw a massive waterfall which was 250 meters.
“Wow… That one was a big waterfall.” Aqua gasped, then wondered. “I wonder what it looks like up there.”
Then Aqua flies upward while getting closer to the waterfall, and it’s roaring very loud. But it’s not stopping her while the ballooned mermaid princess keeps going higher and higher.
And then finally, Aqua flies to the top of the waterfall and goes higher to see the aerial view of it, and gasps amazed.
“What an amazing view! It's my first time seeing the waterfall above the land!” Aqua said, happily.
Then she resumed gliding forward to explore the jungle.
Another bit later, Aqua has arrived into a large lake in the middle of the valley with forest and hills, and looking at the reflection on the water.
She even admires her inflated look in the reflection and coos. “Oh, I’m still looking so… pretty. Even though I look kind of a blubbery whale, I feel so light that I can fly anywhere. This magical pearl really grants my wish, and it still feels so great.”
Then Aqua hummed the “Part of Your World” song for a while as she rubbed her inflated body gently. Then she stopped singing for a moment, and wondered about her parents and friends reaction.
“Wait a minute, what if my parents and Coral are gonna see me like this when I’m puffy?” Aqua asked, worriedly, then closed her eyes to calm herself and sighs. “Oh, I’m sure they will understand how this pearl has such curiously power.”
Speaking of curiosity, Aqua looked down at the reflection on the lake again, and wondered how big can she inflate.
“Hmm, it may sound crazy to me, but… I wonder how big I can get.” Aqua said as she put her left elbow on her ballooned breasts and started to think.
Then she feels the powers within the pearl. It doesn’t even fade away, but it seems like Aqua can control its power by letting her inflate and deflate with her own will. Right now, she wonders how big she can get.
“Okay… Here I go again.” Aqua said as she closed her eyes and focused on the powers within the pearl.
♫Sonic Unleashed - Cutscene - The First Night (0:18 to 0:42)♫
They somehow responded to Aqua’s heart and feelings, and the pearl started to glow and then Aqua’s body glowed as she heard a deep-pitched hissing sound from her body which started to swell again, but slowly.
The magical air from the pearl keeps producing and spreading around in her body, tail and breasts which are still inflating slowly, and Aqua doesn’t feel any pain or feel so sick. She only can feel… how big her body can be, and it feels so good too.
Her tail is getting plumper and can still move, while her body is getting rounder and bigger, and breasts are growing to the size of a pair of beach balls.
Aqua was occupied looking at the reflection of her majestic body shape before the hissing abruptly stopped and was amazed that she had grown into a big blimp.
She’s now 6.4 meters tall (20 feet 1131⁄32 inches) from her belly to back, and nearly 11 meters (36 feet 15⁄64 inch) in length, which surpasses the sizes of the great white sharks and killer whales.
“Wow… I feel like a Super Blimpy Sized…!” Aqua gasped, amazed, then she stopped talking, and realized that pearl has a name which can make her inflate into blimpy sizes. “The pearl… I think this one is called… a Blimp Pearl.”
♫Shadow of the Colossus - The Sunlit Earth♫
Satisfied with the pearl’s name and powers, Aqua actually enjoyed being a blimpy giant, and moved her bloated tail to fly upwards to the sky and kept exploring.
While flying up there, Aqua loves how free she looks airborne in this! Because of that, she feels so happy when she’s up in the sky and that makes it feel like she's having an aerial whizz at exploring past the ocean to see more wonders.
“This feels great! It feels like I can roam around the world! I love it!” Aqua cried happily while she’s laughing and spreading her arms like they were wings and kept gliding through the skies while can feel the sunshine on her body.
Across the sea of clouds, Aqua closes her eyes and listens to the call of the winds and the voice of the Odyssey Kingdom’s nature, and relaxing in the sky that she can feel like she’ll belong there forever.
Although she can float in the sky as long as she wants to, she can also explore underwater to explore the mysterious ocean beyond Atlantis and Fish-Man Island.
Today, she can travel in the sky, and can look down on the land below her.
Few minutes later, Aqua flies above the mountain valley, and she still enjoys being inflated and flying suddenly…
“Help us! Please, help us!” A female voice cried, weakly, but Aqua heard them echoing in the mountains, and she gasped silently.
With no hesitation, Aqua flies down to follow the distressed calls.
♫Shadow of the Colossus - Sign of the Colossus♫
They came from the humans who were laid down on the ground, just injured, no wounds. And there are giant footprints, and whatever it was, it’s huge, and it seems it crushes the houses.
When Aqua came closer to the ground, she focused on her pearl’s powers, and made her deflate slowly while air came out of her mouth.
After slowly turning back to her slender shape again, Aqua landed in front of a couple who were laid down on the ground, and she tried to wake them up carefully. She rubbed a man’s shoulder first.
“Hey! Are you okay? What happened?” Aqua asked.
“There’s… There’s a giant rock monster that came from the mountain far away from our village and crushes the houses, eating a lot of sheep, cows, and horses. and a lot of people for sport. We’ve lost our homes thanks to that beast.” The man replied, weakly.
“That’s terrible.” Aqua gasped, as she’s looking at the mountain which is 8 849 m (big as a Mt. Everest).
“You mean the rock monster came from that tall mountain?” Aqua asked.
“Yes… But the soldiers from the City of Odyssey came to help us evacuate the rest of the villagers.” The man replied.
“Are they any Devil Fruit users who are with the soldiers?” Aqua asked.
“We’re not sure, but… They can’t go there. That monster is twenty times bigger than elephants. It could crush the soldiers.” The woman said, weakly.
“Only swords, arrows, or spears? They are not good enough. I’ll take care of that monster for you.” Aqua said as two Royal Knights of Odyssey City approached two injured people.
“Princess Aqua.” Odyssey Royal Knight No.1 saluted. “I have no idea how you got here, but you’re right about one thing. Whatever the hell it was, it’s huge, and our soldiers have no chance against that thing.”
♫One Piece Movie 5 OST - The 3 Towers♫
“Alright. Take those two to safety as far as you can. I’ll handle that monster.” Aqua said as she closes her eyes and focuses on her Blimp Pearl’s powers.
Again, Aqua’s body inflates, and this time faster and then stops to her ‘Regular Blimp’ form and lifts off the ground.
Two soldiers gaped and eyes widened in shock.
“Your Highness?! How did you-?!” Odyssey Royal Knight No.2 gasped.
“No time to explain. I’ve got some things to do!” Aqua said as she moved her tail and flew ahead to the mountain.
“How the hell did she do that?” Odyssey Royal Knight No.1 asked in surprise.
“Don’t know. If she can stop him, I think she has some tricks up her sleeve.” Odyssey Royal Knight No.2 replied.
Some time later, Aqua arrived on the mountain. She saw some soldiers were knocked out on the ground, while some of them were dead.
“Oh, this is madness. That monster is going to pay for this.” Aqua growled as she flew through the entrance of the mountain.

As she passes through the entrance and heads to the opening, she hears loud footsteps above her. Aqua looked up, and saw a gigantic rock monster on the edge, a bit far up there.
The monster looks like a massive, muscular rock golem, and it carries a huge rock boulder and tosses at the balloon-shaped humanoid fish. Its size is 60 meters tall, and there’s no wonder how it makes giant footprints on the mountain valley.
Aqua dodges it, but the rock blocked the entrance, so nobody gets in or gets out.
“So that’s what the giant rock monster looks like! Time to practice my skills while using my Blimp Pearl’s powers!” Aqua said as she flew upwards.
As she did, Aqua dodged the giant rock boulders. Some of them are bigger than her, and most of them are much larger, so she better have to dodge them.
But as Aqua reaches to the edge where the giant rock golem is, it’s gone.
“It must have climbed higher or hide somewhere. I’ve gotta find it!” Aqua said as she’s flying higher to find the monster.
Aqua has reached the mountain over 3,000 meters, the sky’s getting darker; the sunlight turned out to be a thunderstorm. She saw more soldiers who were fighting small rock golems.
There are lots of them, and the soldiers are no match for them.
Aqua flies down and tackles the rock minions with her inflated body and whacks them with her tail. The soldiers were both amazed and shocked to see Ryujin’s daughter can fly, and was puffed up.
After Aqua defeats the small rock golems, she flies upward to find the big one.
“GET ‘EM, PRINCESS AQUA!!” Odyssey Royal Knight No.3 shouted. “KICK ITS ASS!!”
“YEAH, SHOW THAT DAMN MONSTER WHO’S THE KING OF THE-” Odyssey Royal Knight No.4 shouted, while stopping what he said incorrectly, then he shouted to correct the word. “QUEEN OF THE MOUNTAIN!!”
“Thank you, soldiers! And I will!” Aqua called as she keeps flying upward while she reaches almost 5,000 meters.
While the Mermaid Princess now reaches 6,500 meters tall on the mountain, it’s now raining. But the rain keeps her refreshed for a while. And then she found the rock golem.
It still looks angry and tosses the rock boulders at Aqua, but misses her.
“Alright, I think this is the last time that it tosses the rocks at me! Time to get big!” Aqua shouted as she closed her Blimp Pearl’s powers.
Then her body, tail and breasts started to inflate bigger rapidly to her Super Blimp form and stopped, and then she flew upwards to face the rock golem.
Although she’s still 6.4 meters tall and nearly 11 meters long, she needs to get bigger. Then Aqua got an idea, she closed her eyes, and focused on her Growth Hairpin which it’s glowing white.
And then Aqua’s body didn’t inflate, but it’s growing to giantess size while keeping her Super Blimp form.
She's even surpassing the sizes of rock boulders which were thrown by an angry rock golem who keeps throwing at the giant, ballooned mermaid.
When Aqua reaches 8,000 meters while the rock golem stands on the edge of the huge rock pillar which is over 2,000 meters wide, the mermaid princess has stopped growing, and she’s now 60 meters tall and 65 meters tall!
And now Aqua found herself face to face with a giant rock golem, and is ready to fight!
The giant rock monster charges towards Aqua, pulls its arm and throws into its fist while the mermaid rotates upwards, and the golem punches Aqua’s ballooned belly, and sends her flying some centimeters away as she rolls backwards.
Despite being hit, Aqua is not hurt, but was sent away by a rock monster’s strong attack.
Aqua swam towards the rock golem as her tail turned black and hardened. Then she swung her Haki-imbued tail and hit the monster’s torso. The rock golem roared in agony, and swung its arms to hit the ballooned mermaid, but deflected them with her tail.
The monster grabs Aqua by her tail, spins her around, and tosses her up in the air. The rock golem grabs the rocks and tosses them at Aqua, who dodges them and flies towards it, and tackles it down to the ground.
Aqua couldn’t use her Haki-imbued fists because her big breasts are on her way. So, she’s still using her tail and body to try to defeat the rock golem.
Suddenly, the rock golem leapt towards Aqua and pinned her down to the ground, but then it was bounced off by the mermaid’s inflated body and slammed into the ground.
Aqua charges towards the rock golem who gets up and dodges out of her way. The Mermaid Princess swiftly turns around and flies towards the rock golem and tackles towards the mountain wall and slams into it.
The rock monster rotates his body, and then makes a roundhouse kick at Aqua’s belly, and sends her into the sky. Aqua looked down at the rock golem who let its loud roar at her.
“My body and tail worked so far, but I can’t punch it because my big breasts are out of my way. If I could somehow tackle it off the mountain and fall back to the ground level, I wouldn’t be at a disadvantage.” Aqua said.
“My Haki-imbued tail is not enough. And I don’t know my ballooned chest can help at all, except push it back from me.” Aqua muttered.
Then she looked at her body, and was wondering… Then she suddenly has a lightbulb moment.
“I got it! I’ve gotta try with this!” Aqua said as she flew upward and higher above the mountain.
She keeps ascending until she’s reached 10,000 meters, and then diving with full speed. Her tail turned and hardened again while she spins to increase its power before striking the rock golem with her tail and sending it flying off the edge.
The rock golem falls towards the ground level, back first, flailing and roaring.
After it slams the ground, the rock golem breaks into a thousand pieces; it's now dead.
Aqua looked over the edge, and saw the giant rock monster breaking into a thousand pieces to its death, and sighed satisfied. “Phew… I did it!”
♫Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX - A Twinkle In The Sky♫
30 minutes later, Aqua, who shrinks back to her regular size, and she’s still in her Super Blimp form, carries the trapped soldiers back to the mountain valleys where the village was crushed and gently puts them down to the ground.
“Thanks, Princess Aqua. You’ve defeated the rock monster.” Odyssey Royal Knight No.3 said.
“Glad to help you out. Are all the villagers, even the injured couple, evacuated?” Aqua asked.
“We got a call from our Transponder Snail, and they say they’re recovering their injuries slowly. They’ll make it. The rest of the villagers evacuated to another village somewhere in the mountain valley.” Odyssey Royal Knight No.4 replied.
“That’s a relief.” Aqua sighed. “Now I gotta go, I mean fly. See you. Take care.”
After saying goodbye to the soldiers, Aqua flies off to the sky, and heads back to the ocean.
Later at midnight…
Aqua, now in her regular blimp form, floats outside the Kingdom of Odyssey, and now floats above the clouds and relaxes. She’s looking at the stars in the sky.
“Those stars look so pretty… I wish I could fly up here every night.” Aqua said as she put her arms on her ballooned bosoms and looked enchanted at the stars.
“Hmm… I wonder how the great kings and queens are doing up there…” Aqua wondered as she wondered about the deceased king and queens in the stars.
“I hope you did guide me through the Kingdom of Odyssey. There are lots of places to explore. It was so… breathtaking.” Aqua said.
Then she looked at the full moon. It illuminates both Aqua and the sea of clouds with its light, and brightens them up a little. The way the moon radiating in the night sky also seems so enchanting and relaxing.
“It’s so beautiful… I’ve never seen the moon this close before.” Aqua sighed as she’s looking at her bosoms and then Blimp Pearl. “If it wasn’t for this magical pearl, I would never float up here. It feels so enchanting and thrilling.”
Then she yawned and stretched her arms, and became drowsy.
“I think… I need to sleep up here…” Aqua said as she slowly floats to the large bed of clouds and lays down.
Then she’s sleeping on the cloud. This might be Aqua’s first time sleeping in the sky instead of under the ocean.
♫Final Fantasy XV - Horizon♫
Next morning…
It is pre-dawn. When the rays of sun shine through Aqua’s eyes, she moans, and slowly wakes up as the sun rises, turning the sky from black to red.
Aqua slowly gets up while she rubs her inflated body, then her eyes, and then she stretches her arms and yawns. She looked at the sun that slowly rose above the ocean.
“What a morning…” Aqua sighed as she looked down at her inflated body, and then at the ocean. “Well… I guess it’s time for me to go home.”
Aqua focuses on her Blimp Pearl’s powers while closing her eyes, then she can feel the magical air rushing through her throat and then a large gust of air comes zooming out from her lips.
♫One Piece Music & Song Collection 3 - Food Fight (0:00 to 0:16)♫
She began zooming up into the sky, a deflating balloon, flying and zooming across the sky as her body grew smaller and smaller. And then as she was almost done deflating, she came zooming toward the ocean and plunged into the ocean.
Aqua’s still zooming through the ocean, and after she’s back to her normal appearance, she slowly sinks to the sea floor, and now is looking all dizzy.
“Woaaooooaaoooow…” Aqua groaned. “I’ve gotta control that deflation part…”
Then she’s shaking her head to snap out of it, and looks up at the surface, and smiles.
“Well, that was some flight. It was pretty fun and exciting.” Aqua said as she started to swim off while headed to Atlantis.
“I’ve got to tell my parents some exciting news! I can’t wait to see their faces!” Aqua giggled excitedly.
At the throne room, Aqua was welcomed by Ryujin, Athena, Raki, Coral, and Chel who were happy to see her.
Aqua explained to her parents, Raki and two axolotls about her adventure about the Blimp Pearl and flying up in the sky. And she explained that she flies across the land of the Odyssey Kingdom and then battles against the rock golem.
All of this experience Aqua went through really surprises her parents, Raki, Coral and Chel a lot because the magical pearl Aqua found in the sunken cruiser ship.
♫Sonic Unleashed - Cutscene - A New Journey♫
“This is really astonishing. It seems you have found the magical pearl that inflates you like a balloon, you explore above the ocean, then the Odyssey Kingdom, and then head to the mountain to fight the rock golem all by yourself?” Athena asked, stunned.
“Yes, mother.” Aqua nodded. “That journey was amazing that I would never forget.”
“Wow, what an unusual experience, young Princess.” Raki said, amazed.
“Hey, Chel. Did Aqua say that Blimp Pearl’s powers make her inflate, just like us?” Coral asked.
“Yes, I believe I did. But we shall see if it’s true or not.” Chel said.
“Hah! You're doin' great, my dear. You didn’t just save the villages and their people, but you restored the natural balance.” Ryujin said, overjoyed.
“Thanks, father. I am just doing this to protect the humans from any kind of monsters.” Aqua nodded.
“Whatever you’re doing, I’m so proud to have you as my daughter.” Ryujin said.
“Aqua, it may sound kind of a bit ludicrous to ask but…” Athena started while blushing. “Could you show us this magical Blimp Pearl’s powers?”
“Oh, right! But you’d better be careful what you wish for, Mother, because it came true.” Aqua said as she closed her eyes, and then her Blimp Pearl glows, and then her body started to glowing too as the hissing sound came from within her.
And then Aqua’s belly, breasts, and tail started to inflate rapidly, and then grow bigger and rounder until she reached her Super Blimp form, the hissing noise subsided and her body stopped glowing.
Ryujin, Athena, Raki, Coral and Chel gaped and blinked in surprise.
“MECHOKKU!!” They all cried, surprised.
“Whoa, Aqua! What happened? You looked… puffy!” Ryujin gasped.
“See this? This is how the Blimp Pearl worked. When I focus deep down on its energy, it transfers into my body and starts to spread around me and makes me inflate like a big pufferfish and become weightless. That’s how I’m flying.” Aqua explained.
“Unbelievable… So that’s the power of the Blimp Pearl.” Athena gasped, amazed.
“So how do you feel, Aqua? Feeling dizzy or a bit sick?” Ryujin asked.
“No, I just feel so big and round. Besides that, it feels amazing.” Aqua replied as Raki swam towards her.
He carefully presses Aqua’s bloated abdomen, and it feels so soft and tender.
“By the Gods…! Aqua, your body feels so soft, and not so tight. Does that hurt a bit?” Raki asked.
“No, not at all.” Aqua replied as she shook her head.
“Hey, Aqua! I gotta admit that you look so cute when you’re inflated.” Coral coos as she approaches and floats in front of face.
“Thanks, Coral. Maybe you can hope on my back if you want to fly.” Aqua said.
“Actually, there’s something Chel and I wanted to show you.” Coral said as Chel floated with her.
“Huh? What do you mean?” Aqua asked.
“Shall we show her our demonstration, Chel?” Coral asked.
“Yes, I believe we shall.” Chel nodded.
♫Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX - Precious Stars in the Sky♫
Coral and Chel both swam way back from the round-shaped Mermaid Princess, and then afterward they took a deep breath, and then their bodies started to inflate too. Two female axolotls keep inflating until they’re both big as a basketball and stop inhaling.
Aqua, Raki, Ryujin and Athena gaped and widened their eyes in surprise.
“Well, there's something you don't see every day.” Ryujin said.
“Coral?! How did you do that?!” Raki questioned, shocked as Coral deflated back to her normal shape again.
“Oh, two weeks ago after I followed Chel to find out about Kiros’ hideout, I was actually stung by a pufferfish.” Coral explained.
“EEH?! P-PUFFERFISH?! Uaaah…!” Raki gasped as his eyes bulged in shock, then groaned while he fainted on the floor on his back.
“Did the poison kill you, Coral?” Aqua asked worriedly.
“No. The poison from that puffer fish is a rare specimen when only creatures get stung by it. Once it stung me, the poison merged within my DNA and cells. So, it mutates me into a puffer axolotl.” Coral explained.
“Phew…” Aqua sighed. “Well, I’m glad the poison is not deadly.”
The balloon-shaped mermaid princess carefully hugged Coral and nuzzled her head. “I think you’re cute when you’re puffy too.”
“Thanks, Aqua.” Coral purrs.
“And what about you, Chel? Did you get stung by the same pufferfish too?” Ryujin asked.
“Me? No, Your Majesty. I absorb the powers from the glowing crystal in the mini trench, and it grants me an ability to inflate with my will just like Coral.” Chel said, and then she let the water out of her body, and she didn’t fly backward.
“A rare magical crystal you found in the mini trench, huh? That’s very intriguing.” Ryujin said as Athena approaches her ballooned daughter. “Athena?”
“My daughter… This Blimp Pearl has such fascinating powers that blows you up and grants you to fly in the sky.” Athena said.
“Yeah, it sure is.” Aqua said.
“You see, I have such a wondrous dream about flying above the ocean and exploring the skies, free like a bird. And I can see the world down below me, and of course the distant land, islands and the vast ocean on the horizon. There are lots of things that I would like to see all over not just the Odyssey Kingdom, but the whole world too.” Athena said.
“Wow…” Aqua gasped, silently.
“And at the end of my dream, when I woke up, I just had the feeling that whatever that happened, I was supposed to be there.” Athena replied.
“Yeah. Me too!” Aqua nodded.
“So, Aqua. Could I ask you a favor?” The mermaid queen asked.
“Sure. Can you climb on my back so we can fly above the ocean?” Aqua asked, and her mother chuckles and shakes her head as ‘no’.
“Of course not, my dear. I would like to know how it feels to be inflated. Could you share your Blimp Pearl’s powers to me?” Athena asked.
“What?!” Aqua, Coral and Chel questioned, surprised.
“Really, my love? Do you want to be inflated too?” The merman king asked, surprised.
“Yes, Ryu. I would like to feel how big I can be.” Athena replied.
“Alright then… Think you can do it, Aqua?” Ryujin asked.
♫Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep - Dearly Belovedy♫
“Well… I haven’t shared my Blimp Pearl’s powers to the others before, but… I’ll try. I’ll try.” Aqua said unsure, but then nodded in understanding.
Aqua takes a deep sigh, and focuses on the powers within her Blimp Pearl which started to glow, and then she shares the magical energy within Athena who started to glow.
The light enveloped Athena as her body began to slowly grow bigger and bigger because her torso began to take the shape of a balloon.
Slowly and slowly, the balloon in her stomach continued to expand, earning the awe of King Ryujin, Coral, and Chel as the mermaid queen turned into a huge blimp.
Athena has reached her Super Blimp form, but she's a little bigger than Aqua, so she’s 8.5 meters tall from her belly to her back and 13 meters long from her big breasts to her tail fin.
Raki slowly woke up, moaned and groaned, and looked up, and then gasped, before he fainted again.
“Wow… Queen Athena! It really worked!” Coral gasped, amazed.
“And Aqua’s body didn’t deflate even though she's using her Blimp Pearl. I think sharing its energy with other mermaids really worked.” Chel said, amazed.
“Athena…!” Ryujin gasped. “Are you okay?”
“This feels so… divine… godly… And yet… It's wonderful.” Athena replied, carefully rubbing her ballooned body and then her bulbous breasts.
“Well… So are you, my love.” Ryujin as he blushed.
“Mother… You're a bit bigger than me.” Aqua said sheepishly.
“Hehehe, so you noticed.” Athena chuckles, and then gives her a gentle hug around her ballooned daughter. “Thank you for sharing your power. I think I shall come with you someday.”
“Yes, mother… It would be a pleasure, and fun too.” Aqua said, before letting her soft sigh as she kept hugging her ballooned mother.
Coral and Chel swam to King Ryujin’s shoulder.
“Your Majesty, you don’t mind them being inflated with Aqua’s Blimp Pearl, do you?” Coral asked.
“I don’t mind at all, Coral. It doesn’t matter when they are inflated or not, they are part of my family. And I always love them for what they are now, even in their ridiculous state.” Ryujin said as he picked up Raki and chuckled sheepishly.
Maybe tomorrow, or maybe next week, Aqua and Athena are going to travel above the ocean and the land of the Odyssey Kingdom.
And that concludes Aqua’s first adventure as a big balloon mermaid princess… But on her next adventure, she’s going to fly again, and this time with her mother.
TO BE CONTINUED…

Chapter 8 - Blimp Pearl
Written By: StarMermaid91

Eiichiro Oda
September 17th, 1524
Two weeks ago, Aqua defeated Lord Kiros, the captain of Tiger Shark Pirates, and put an end to his fake gemstone scam. After Kiros falls along with his empire, he’s just getting bruised, exhausted and weak to move his muscles, but he ends up unconscious.
So, King Ryujin and his Royal Army put him in the dungeon for the lifetime. Kiros is bound by the chains which make him never break out of the hail.
Kiros is still alive, but he deserves only ONE sardine every breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
As for Coral, she couldn’t be happier than Chel staying with her and Aqua. So, they’ve decided to move out to their own house, just outside the castle.
They both lived like a new married couple, even though they are not married yet.
♫Dragon Ball Super OST -Vol. 1- CD 1 - Under the Blue Sky♫
In the castle, Raki talks to King Ryujin about how he somehow summoned the whales after he was chased by a couple of leopard seals two weeks ago.
While he does, Ryujin asks the masseur, which is a six-armed octopus Fish-Man, who gives him massages.
“So let me guess some straight, while you’re keeping an eye on Coral two weeks ago, you were chased by two leopard seals, and then you somehow called for help to two orcas?” Ryujin asked while the masseur rubs gently on his shoulder and massages them.
“Yes, Your Majesty. When I thought I’m going to be their main meal, I suddenly called a distress call, and somehow two killer whales heard me and saved me from the jaws of death. I thought the orcas were going to eat me first, but then…” Raki explained, then paused while looking unsure.
“They didn’t. I wonder why.” Raki wondered.
“By the Gods… Raki, it seems your powers have been awakened.” Ryujin gasped, amazed.
“My powers?” Raki questioned, surprised.
“Yes, you’re holding a power that dwells within that can summon not just orcas, but all kinds of whales and dolphins at your commands, and will protect you.” Ryujin said.
“I had no idea… I mean I thought King Neptune is the only one who alone can communicate with whales.” Raki gasped.
“Believe it or not, not just all royal mermen who can communicate with the whales. Even my daughter can communicate with both fish, sharks, turtles, dolphins, and whales.” Ryujin replied.
“Hmm, speaking of your daughter, she left Atlantis yesterday. I mean she already informed you before she left, but do you think she’s going to be okay?” Raki asked worriedly.
“Yes, she was a little bit nervous back the day after she asked me and Athena her permission to go out to explore the ocean.” Ryujin said as the masseur rubs his spine gently.
FLASHBACK
♫The Lion King (2019) - Rafiki’s Fireflies♫
Yesterday…
In the throne room, Aqua was a bit nervous while looking down in worry, and said to his parents. “Father, mother. Coral said she can’t go with me today because, well… She’s dating Chel, so I think I’m going out alone.”
“Oh, don’t worry, my dear.” Athena said as she hugged her daughter. “You'll do just fine. Sometimes the explorers can go out alone and believe in themselves. I’m sure that you can handle it all by yourself.”
“Mother’s right, Aqua.” Ryujin said as he approached his daughter. “If you ever feel homesick, then you’re always welcome back home.”
“Thanks, father.” Aqua said as she hugged her father.
Raki sniffed and dried off his tears from his wing. “Good luck, young Princess.”
Aqua breaks her embrace with Ryujin, and they exchange one final look. Then she swims off to the door, and then after a while, she’s swimming off the castle, and looking at the horizon of the landscape. Take a deep breath, and then sigh softly.
She can feel that she does not feel nervous anymore; she’s getting excited to go out alone then she looks at her parents and then Chel and Coral over her shoulder.
“Don’t worry, Coral. You’re going to be A-okay!” Coral said as she gave her thumb-up.
“Thanks, Coral. And Chel?” Aqua asked.
“I’ll take care of her, Your Majesty. Have a nice trip.” Chel said.
Aqua nodded before she swam away and headed out to the wilderness.
FLASHBACK ENDS…
Back to the present day, Ryujin lies on his belly while the masseur massages his tail.
“But in the end, she feels more adventurous than ever. I was about to go with her, but you let her do this on her own, so I don’t want to stand in her way or just slow her down.” Raki said honestly.
“Yes, and she understands Coral has Chel as her new girlfriend, so she lets her stay with her.” Ryujin said.
“Do you think she will be back when she feels so… homesick?” Raki asked.
“Oh, I’m sure she will come back when she feels like it. But in the meantime, maybe she probably found another treasure or a magical pearl.” Ryujin said.
“Hmm, yeah, probably.” Raki said.
Few minutes later…
At the King and Queen’s Bedroom, Athena stood on her balcony and looked up at the sun reflection on the surface.
She wonders how it feels to be above the ocean and… fly in the sky.
Then she noticed a strong presence behind her, and that’s Ryujin who came to their room and smiled at her.
“It’s okay, Athena. Aqua will be fine.” Ryujin said as Athena chuckles.
“It’s not Aqua I’m worried about. It’s just that I can't stop thinking about what's far above the ocean.” Athena said as she looked at the surface.
“Hehehe,” Ryujin chuckles. “You’ve already seen the sky many times since we visited the Odyssey Kingdom every month. Why are you thinking about it right now?”
“Well, I’m just wondering… Don't you ever wonder what it's like up there, looking down on the world?” Athena asked.
“You mean, flying up there?” Ryujin asked, “It’s not very easy to go up there, unless you have a magical pearl to make you fly or summon the wings of the birds.”
“You seriously wanna be up there, flying?” Ryujin asked.
“Sometimes, in my dreams, I'm soaring above the clouds, free.” Athena sighed. “I wonder if my daughter has the same dreams as I have.”
“Oh, I’m sure she has the same dreams as yours, my angelfish. Either way, it would be wonderful to fly in the sky to explore above the ocean and lands. Maybe Aqua found a magical pearl to make the dreams of yours come true.” Ryujin said as he wrapped his left arm around Athena and hugged her.
“Yeah… Hopefully.” Athena sighed.
Meanwhile in the landscape of coral reef, Aqua swam over it while vocalizing melody. Then she found an old navigation telescope, and picked it up and looked at it.
“Hmm, a telescope. Someone must have clumsily dropped this device.” Aqua said, as she looked through the telescope, and was amazed. “Wow… Amazing! I can see closer and bigger at the horizon!”
♫The Jungle Book - Mowgli's Leaving♫
Then she saw a ship graveyard; a place where massive ships sunken to the bottom of the ocean. With some curiosity, Aqua swam towards and hid behind the rock.
“Shipwreck graveyard. The place where the hulls of scrapped ships are left to decay and disintegrate, or left in reserve. Poor sailors or pirates, or even Marines who lost their ships after their battles.” Aqua said while looking at them through the telescope.
And then she saw a sunken cruiser ship, and it looked even bigger than other pirate ships.
“Wait. Is that… a sunken cruiser ship? I’ve never seen that one before.” Aqua said, curiously.
Then she saw a male sea turtle, Sheldon, who slowly swam past her and hums gracefully.
Aqua looked at the telescope for a moment, then she got an idea; she swam to Sheldon and stepped into his path.
“Hello, Sheldon.” Aqua greets. “Sorry to step into your way, but would you like to do me a favor?”
“Oh, sure thing, Princess Aqua. What can I do for you?” Sheldon asked.
“Would you take this telescope to my father? Maybe he needs this to look after the enemies in the distance.” Aqua said as she gave the spyglass to Sheldon who gently took it and put it inside his shell.
“Hmm, sure. It would be my pleasure to do it for you. Bye.” Sheldon nodded before swam off as Aqua wave goodbye to him then swam off.
She swam over the sunken pirate and marine ships, then she reached into the cruiser ship. Aqua peeks inside the ship, and it has a big hole, and it was big as a killer whale.
“Hmm, this hole is big enough to get in. That was too easy.” Aqua said as she swam inside the sunken cruiser ship.
But she didn’t notice that she was stalked by an 8 meters long great white shark, which circles around the sunken cruiser ship and waits for its moment to attack.
Aqua went through the hallways to explore. Everything, mostly, is covered by seaweed and moss, and the wood is getting rotten. She arrived at the door, opened it very slowly, and saw the ballroom, and it’s very huge.
“Wow… Look at this place…” Aqua gasped as she swam slowly around the ballroom. “This must be a ballroom. Hmm, I guess the people abandoned the ship when it was attacked by pirates or sea monsters.”
Then Aqua's swimming to the next room, and this time it’s a captain cabin, and looked around. It was triplet times bigger than her room.
Suddenly, she saw a faint glow within the chest of drawers. She swam into it, and opened it very slowly, and then she saw a cyan colored pear.
“Oh…” Aqua coos while her eyes shimmering amazed, then she carefully grabs the pearl and lifts it up. “What a beautiful pearl. Oh, look how it glistens! I think I’m going to keep it. I wonder where it comes from.”
As she's wondering where this pearl came from, and how the humans are hiding it, the pearl somehow glows and hovers above her hands. Aqua’s looking at it with her surprised expression. And then the pearl slowly floats towards her bra with the star symbol in the middle of it.
And then the pearl somehow attached into her bra. Aqua tries to remove it, but it’s stuck, and she’ll never take it off.
“Ugh. What’s going on? It won't come off!” Aqua grunts, then sighed hopelessly. “Oh, it’s no use.”
“And I don’t want to break it with my Haki hardened fist, because it looks so beautiful.” Aqua said while looking at her hand which clenched into her fist.
Then Aqua sighed as she looked at the pearl while looking in a mirror, and she thinks the pearl looks good on her bra.
“Well, at least it looks good on my bra. I think I can get used to it.” She said, then she's looking through the window and then at the sun reflection at the surface.
Then she started to think about her dream since she had slept back at the castle a few days ago.
“You know… I can’t just help it, but I always remember a dream about being up there… above the ocean and flying in the sky, soaring above the clouds, free like a bird and with no care around me.” Aqua whispered.
“But then again… It’s not possible.” Aqua scoffed, then she looked up again and looked hopeful. “Or is it?”
♫Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance - Dearly Beloved♫
She closed her eyes and clasped her hands, and whispered. “Yes… Maybe someday… If it’s happening… I could soar into the skies… And can fly like a bird. And I would like to explore the skies and look down on the world below.”
And then the pearl somehow started to glow in neon color by itself which made Aqua open her eyes and gasped silently.
“The pearl is… glowing?” Aqua asked.
And after a few seconds, Aqua’s body started to glow like a star.
Before she's wondering what happened next to her, the sound of air entering a balloon filled the room.
At first, Aqua thought it was a trick of the pearl, but it looked like her breasts were… expanding? Her bra started to slowly push forward, but expanded in her size.
Her slim waist started to grow like she was steadily gaining fat. Aqua quickly took notice of her situation, eyes growing wide as she looked down at her expanding belly.
“What’s happening? Am I… inflating like a balloon?” Aqua asked in shock as her waist felt almost like she was blowing up a beach ball underneath it.
The hissing noise steadily grew louder as her tail started to swell beneath her.
Moving her arms wide at her sides, she continued to stare at her inflating self with an odd trepidation. Her tail bulged up and straightened out like some sort of pool toy.
As her tail moves slowly side to side, it's making loud squeaks as they expanded to better accommodate the magical flow of air that was being siphoned into her body which had expanded into 10 feet in all directions, her arms puffing up like rubber tubes, and her breasts inflating to 36 inch balloons.
Even though her arms are blowing up, she somehow manages to move them around instead of spreading them out into T-Pose and being immobile.
After her body reached 16.40 ft or 5 meters in length and 2.5 meters tall from her belly to back, the hissing noise subsided, and she stopped inflating, and the glowing faded out.
Her once slim upper body had completely turned out to be an enormous ball of rubber.
Aqua takes a soft and smooth breath some few times, and looks around her ballooned body and carefully rubs her skin. It was like touching a cloud.
It was incredibly soft, and thin like a balloon. Pressing a finger just a tiny bit into her side, Aqua could feel the air wishing around inside her, delicately rubbing her hollowed out body.
“This feels… so soft like a pillow…! It’s incredible. This magical pearl somehow made me blow up like a pufferfish.” Aqua gasped, amazed while smiling widely.
Then she carefully moves her tail, and she somehow moves forward. The magical air somehow makes her lighter as a feather. Then she’s looking in a mirror, and her eyes widen in surprise.
“So this is what I look like when I’m puffed up. So bizarre, but…” Aqua whispered, amazed as she slowly spun backwards like she’s looking at the roof first, then at the wall upside-down, then the floor, and then at the mirror. “This feels amazing.”
And then she spun slowly around to feel her inflated body, then she’s looking in a mirror again.
“And somehow… I feel so light. It feels like… I can swim faster than that.” Aqua said as she’s looking in a mirror, she saw a great white shark appear in front of the window.
♫The Little Mermaid (2023) - Shark Attack♫
Aqua gasped, and swam aside despite being ballooned up, and the shark chomped through the window and started chasing after the mermaid.
The Mermaid Princess swims through the furniture, but her ballooned body just pushes them out of her way as the shark tries to bite her tail. Luckily Aqua is too fast for the shark, but couldn’t fight it in her bloated state, so she’s trying to escape from the shark's teeth.
Aqua breaks through the door, and the debris falls and blocks the shark’s path. Few seconds later, Aqua arrived in the ballroom.
“Is it gone?” Aqua asked.
Don’t count on it, Aqua. The great white shark breaks through the wall and almost bites Aqua’s left breast while the mermaid dodges it. The shark makes a turning point as Aqua tries to use her counterattack.
“Tail: Armaments!” Aqua said.
SHEEN!! Her tail became black and shiny, then she swung it and hit the shark’s head to send it into the broken tables and chairs.
Aqua turns around to the windows, and breaks out of the cruiser boat, and swims across the ship graveyard as the shark’s chase after her.
The shark is 3 meters bigger than Aqua’s inflated body, and increasing its speed since they’re now in the open sea.
“It’s too fast! I’ve gotta outsmart it! But how?” Aqua cried.
Suddenly, she got an idea; if her body is so light, then maybe she can float in the sky for a moment then fall back to the ocean until the shark gives up.
Then Aqua swims upwards and heads towards the surface, prompting the shark to pursue her at high speed. At the last moments, she breached the sea with a splash, and she somehow flew into the sky.
The shark breached the sea and tried to reach Aqua, but it unfortunately missed as it snapped its jaws before it fell back to the ocean and left with a big splash.
Aqua took some breath several times before she let her deep sigh.
“Phew… That was close. But I made it.” Aqua said before she realized that… she’s not falling.
♫Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX - Isn't It Lovely?♫
Aqua gasped in shock that she didn’t fall back to the water. She just… floats in the air. She’s even lighter than she thought. Maybe the magical air that produced from the pearl makes her weightless that makes her swimming faster underwater and flying in the sky.
“I… I’m flying…! I’m flying!” Aqua whispered, amazed. Then she smiled widely and opened her mouth in excitement.
She remembers that her dream is about floats above the ocean and being free in the sky, soaring above the clouds.
And here she is, floating in the air even though her body is inflated, which now she doesn’t mind, in fact she was happy about her dreams coming true.
“This feels like my dream comes true!” Aqua said as she moved her tail up and down.
And after that, she moves forward through the air. It feels like she could air-swimming in the sky instead of in the ocean.
“I can glide through the air as well. This feels so different from swimming in the ocean. But This is great!” Aqua cried, exhilarated. “I think I started to explore the skies.”
Then Aqua keeps gliding through the skies while floats above the clouds in different shapes and sizes. And she can feel the wind rushing past her face and the sun shines in her face.
“This air feels so refreshing. I think I’m getting used to this.” Aqua sighed while gliding through the skies.
After a while, she saw the Kingdom of Odyssey while being up high, and looked down at the city. Not even King Draco or his people saw her since she’s way up high above the clouds.
“Everyone looks like a small plankton down there while I’m way up here.” Aqua giggles, then looks at the distant land beyond the city. “I wonder what’s more beyond the city. I’ve got to see it!”
Then she glides across the city and heads out to the wilderness to explore the land.
Meanwhile at Atlantis Castle, Sheldon has arrived at the throne room while taking the telescope out of his shell and gives it to King Ryujin.
“Oh, a handheld telescope. Where did you get it from?” Ryujin asked.
“Your daughter, Aqua, finds it, a bit far away from the ship graveyard.” Sheldon replied.
“Ship graveyard?” Raki asked, worriedly. “Those waters are dangerous. There are lots of apex predators. Including the great white sharks.”
“There’s no need to worry, Raki. Aqua has rested for a few days after she’s defeated Kiros, and now she’s allowed to explore the dangerous waters, and she will always be extra careful.” Ryujin said.
“So far, she’s doing fine since she left to explore yesterday.” Athena said. “That’s the good news.”
“Indeed, but I think it’s a good thing that she has found the spyglass.” Ryujin said as Raki took the spyglass and tried to look through it. “Only so far we only have binoculars. But I think this spyglass could be useful for looking for the enemies or our allies in the horizon.”
♫Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX - Laughter and Merriment♫
“You can say that again. But it seems to me that everything is farther away now. And so are you, sir.” Raki said as he’s looking through the spyglass the wrong way.
Ryujin and Athena chuckles at Raki who lowers the telescope to reveal them big again.
“Whoa, what a swim!” Raki cried, amazed while looking at the audience.
“Raki, you goof. You looked through the telescope the wrong way.” Ryujin said as Raki put his wing in front of his beak.
“Oops, hehehe… Sorry.” Raki chuckles, sheepishly as he swims towards the castle balcony, and turns around the telescope.
Using the telescope, Raki can see more of the city, the people, and then the landscape from a closer perspective, and gasp. “Wow…! I can see closer with this. This is amazing.”
Then he sees big blue eyes too close to the telescope, and Raki screams, “AAAH!!” and tosses the telescope into the air. And saw it was Coral who laughed at the penguin who freaked out.
“It’s okay, Raki. It’s only me.” Coral said as she caught the telescope.
“Oh, what a relief.” Raki sighed, relieved. “For a moment, I thought that was a giant jellyfish with big eyes.”
“Heh, maybe because you looked through this telescope, eh?” Coral chuckles.
“Yeah. It was found by Aqua. She asked Sheldon to deliver it to King Ryujin.” Raki replied.
“Really? So that’s how she found it. But where?” Coral asked.
“Oh, not far away from the ship graveyard. That place is too dangerous for one explorer, even for our princess.” Raki said, worriedly.
“Come on, this is Aqua we’re talking about. She may be alone since she left us yesterday, but she’s very brave just like her father.” Coral said.
“[Sighs] Sometimes, Coral, you do sound like her mother.” Raki sighed as he left inside.
“Gee, someday I might be a mother. I might even have a daughter like…” Coral wondered, but then blushed. “... Uh, maybe I shall think about that later…”
Then she turned around and looked up to see the sun reflecting on the surface.
“I wonder how you are doing in your expedition, Aqua.” Coral wondered, curiously.
♫Kingdom Hearts III - Sky of Wonder♫
Meanwhile above the land of Odyssey Kingdom, Aqua, who’s still inflated, is still gliding in the sky. She saw lots of different animal species down there.
She now flew above the grass plains and saw the herd of horses running through the grass field. It’s so outstanding to see the animals can run with their legs like that.
Then she saw a flock of birds was flying past her as the Mermaid Princess watched them flying off forward.
“This is amazing. Thanks to their wings, birds can fly as well.” Aqua said, amazed.
Then she looked at her inflated body, and giggled. “Well, who needs the wings when I’m puffed up like a balloon, and using my tail as my back-wings.”
While moving her tail rapidly, Aqua propelled forwards to the sky, and headed further in the land of Odyssey.
Aqua’s now flying over the desert environment. Everything, almost, even on the hills, is made of sand.
Most deserts, far from being empty and lifeless, are home to a variety of plants, animals, and other organisms. But here, in the Odyssey Kingdom country, there are some plants, mountains, trees, and water.
Good thing about our mermaid princess is that she’s not living in the desert, because the air’s very hot; with daytime temperatures as high as 54 °C (130 °F).
“So… hot,” Aqua panted as she kept flying in the hot sky. “This place is so hot… I may have to find some water. Or else I might be dehydrated to death.”
Then she saw a large lake far away in the horizon.
“There it is!” Aqua shouted as she’s flying faster towards the lake.
As she has arrived at the lake, Aqua flies down to the lake, diving underwater to refresh her skin, even her inflated body.
“Haa… So refreshing. I’m glad this water is chilly. I think I’ll stay here for a while” Aqua sighed. “I only wish that if this pearl can keep me hydrated, I could have survived the heat, even the deserts.”
“Well, I guess I’m the first mermaid that travels in the desert. Or over across the deserts.” Aqua said as she gently rubs her inflated body.
After a while, Aqua breached the lake and flew off into another area with a different environment; this time it has the opposite climate.
The location has snow, ice, and of course there are some lakes, but they are very cold. Even the winds are getting cold too, and it’s snowing.
Aqua saw some animals like seals, polar bears and of course penguins, and can feel the cold temperature at -31 Fahrenheit.
“Brrr…! Didn’t know this place has a different climate than a desert.” Aqua shivered while holding her arms to keep her warmth.
Aqua looks down at the lakes, and hopes there is warm water. But as she goes down, her ballooned belly touches the ice, and slides across.
“Wooaaaah! The ice sure is slippery!” Aqua cried before she saw a large hole, and dived through the large hole before the polar bear swiped its claws to catch a large prey, but failed.
Aqua sighed in relief, and said. “That was close. I’m so glad that I wasn’t caught by a big hairy carnivore.”
“And most of all, the water feels so good.” Aqua said as she can feel the normal temperature underwater, but still shivers. “Brrr… I’m still freezing. If only I learned how to warm myself if my Haki doesn’t help.”
She’s unaware that the fur seals heard her shivers, and they think they could keep her warm with their fur.
The seals approach Aqua and gently rub her inflated body to keep her warm. Aqua turned her head and saw them rubbing them to keep them warm.
“Aw, thanks, seals.” Aqua coos as one of the seals rubs its head to hers.
A bit later, Aqua has arrived into another area with lush jungle with lots of tropical trees, animals like birds, elephants, monkeys, fishes and crocodiles, temples and rivers.
Aqua glides above the river while feeling the water with her hand, and giggled. The water feels so good too, even in the jungle.
Then she can feel the current is getting stronger and looks at what’s ahead and says. “I wonder how the current is getting stronger.”
As she followed the river, Aqua saw a massive waterfall which was 250 meters.
“Wow… That one was a big waterfall.” Aqua gasped, then wondered. “I wonder what it looks like up there.”
Then Aqua flies upward while getting closer to the waterfall, and it’s roaring very loud. But it’s not stopping her while the ballooned mermaid princess keeps going higher and higher.
And then finally, Aqua flies to the top of the waterfall and goes higher to see the aerial view of it, and gasps amazed.
“What an amazing view! It's my first time seeing the waterfall above the land!” Aqua said, happily.
Then she resumed gliding forward to explore the jungle.
Another bit later, Aqua has arrived into a large lake in the middle of the valley with forest and hills, and looking at the reflection on the water.
She even admires her inflated look in the reflection and coos. “Oh, I’m still looking so… pretty. Even though I look kind of a blubbery whale, I feel so light that I can fly anywhere. This magical pearl really grants my wish, and it still feels so great.”
Then Aqua hummed the “Part of Your World” song for a while as she rubbed her inflated body gently. Then she stopped singing for a moment, and wondered about her parents and friends reaction.
“Wait a minute, what if my parents and Coral are gonna see me like this when I’m puffy?” Aqua asked, worriedly, then closed her eyes to calm herself and sighs. “Oh, I’m sure they will understand how this pearl has such curiously power.”
Speaking of curiosity, Aqua looked down at the reflection on the lake again, and wondered how big can she inflate.
“Hmm, it may sound crazy to me, but… I wonder how big I can get.” Aqua said as she put her left elbow on her ballooned breasts and started to think.
Then she feels the powers within the pearl. It doesn’t even fade away, but it seems like Aqua can control its power by letting her inflate and deflate with her own will. Right now, she wonders how big she can get.
“Okay… Here I go again.” Aqua said as she closed her eyes and focused on the powers within the pearl.
♫Sonic Unleashed - Cutscene - The First Night (0:18 to 0:42)♫
They somehow responded to Aqua’s heart and feelings, and the pearl started to glow and then Aqua’s body glowed as she heard a deep-pitched hissing sound from her body which started to swell again, but slowly.
The magical air from the pearl keeps producing and spreading around in her body, tail and breasts which are still inflating slowly, and Aqua doesn’t feel any pain or feel so sick. She only can feel… how big her body can be, and it feels so good too.
Her tail is getting plumper and can still move, while her body is getting rounder and bigger, and breasts are growing to the size of a pair of beach balls.
Aqua was occupied looking at the reflection of her majestic body shape before the hissing abruptly stopped and was amazed that she had grown into a big blimp.
She’s now 6.4 meters tall (20 feet 1131⁄32 inches) from her belly to back, and nearly 11 meters (36 feet 15⁄64 inch) in length, which surpasses the sizes of the great white sharks and killer whales.
“Wow… I feel like a Super Blimpy Sized…!” Aqua gasped, amazed, then she stopped talking, and realized that pearl has a name which can make her inflate into blimpy sizes. “The pearl… I think this one is called… a Blimp Pearl.”
♫Shadow of the Colossus - The Sunlit Earth♫
Satisfied with the pearl’s name and powers, Aqua actually enjoyed being a blimpy giant, and moved her bloated tail to fly upwards to the sky and kept exploring.
While flying up there, Aqua loves how free she looks airborne in this! Because of that, she feels so happy when she’s up in the sky and that makes it feel like she's having an aerial whizz at exploring past the ocean to see more wonders.
“This feels great! It feels like I can roam around the world! I love it!” Aqua cried happily while she’s laughing and spreading her arms like they were wings and kept gliding through the skies while can feel the sunshine on her body.
Across the sea of clouds, Aqua closes her eyes and listens to the call of the winds and the voice of the Odyssey Kingdom’s nature, and relaxing in the sky that she can feel like she’ll belong there forever.
Although she can float in the sky as long as she wants to, she can also explore underwater to explore the mysterious ocean beyond Atlantis and Fish-Man Island.
Today, she can travel in the sky, and can look down on the land below her.
Few minutes later, Aqua flies above the mountain valley, and she still enjoys being inflated and flying suddenly…
“Help us! Please, help us!” A female voice cried, weakly, but Aqua heard them echoing in the mountains, and she gasped silently.
With no hesitation, Aqua flies down to follow the distressed calls.
♫Shadow of the Colossus - Sign of the Colossus♫
They came from the humans who were laid down on the ground, just injured, no wounds. And there are giant footprints, and whatever it was, it’s huge, and it seems it crushes the houses.
When Aqua came closer to the ground, she focused on her pearl’s powers, and made her deflate slowly while air came out of her mouth.
After slowly turning back to her slender shape again, Aqua landed in front of a couple who were laid down on the ground, and she tried to wake them up carefully. She rubbed a man’s shoulder first.
“Hey! Are you okay? What happened?” Aqua asked.
“There’s… There’s a giant rock monster that came from the mountain far away from our village and crushes the houses, eating a lot of sheep, cows, and horses. and a lot of people for sport. We’ve lost our homes thanks to that beast.” The man replied, weakly.
“That’s terrible.” Aqua gasped, as she’s looking at the mountain which is 8 849 m (big as a Mt. Everest).
“You mean the rock monster came from that tall mountain?” Aqua asked.
“Yes… But the soldiers from the City of Odyssey came to help us evacuate the rest of the villagers.” The man replied.
“Are they any Devil Fruit users who are with the soldiers?” Aqua asked.
“We’re not sure, but… They can’t go there. That monster is twenty times bigger than elephants. It could crush the soldiers.” The woman said, weakly.
“Only swords, arrows, or spears? They are not good enough. I’ll take care of that monster for you.” Aqua said as two Royal Knights of Odyssey City approached two injured people.
“Princess Aqua.” Odyssey Royal Knight No.1 saluted. “I have no idea how you got here, but you’re right about one thing. Whatever the hell it was, it’s huge, and our soldiers have no chance against that thing.”
♫One Piece Movie 5 OST - The 3 Towers♫
“Alright. Take those two to safety as far as you can. I’ll handle that monster.” Aqua said as she closes her eyes and focuses on her Blimp Pearl’s powers.
Again, Aqua’s body inflates, and this time faster and then stops to her ‘Regular Blimp’ form and lifts off the ground.
Two soldiers gaped and eyes widened in shock.
“Your Highness?! How did you-?!” Odyssey Royal Knight No.2 gasped.
“No time to explain. I’ve got some things to do!” Aqua said as she moved her tail and flew ahead to the mountain.
“How the hell did she do that?” Odyssey Royal Knight No.1 asked in surprise.
“Don’t know. If she can stop him, I think she has some tricks up her sleeve.” Odyssey Royal Knight No.2 replied.
Some time later, Aqua arrived on the mountain. She saw some soldiers were knocked out on the ground, while some of them were dead.
“Oh, this is madness. That monster is going to pay for this.” Aqua growled as she flew through the entrance of the mountain.
♫Kingdom Heart III - The Deep End -Rock Titan's Rage-♫
As she passes through the entrance and heads to the opening, she hears loud footsteps above her. Aqua looked up, and saw a gigantic rock monster on the edge, a bit far up there.
The monster looks like a massive, muscular rock golem, and it carries a huge rock boulder and tosses at the balloon-shaped humanoid fish. Its size is 60 meters tall, and there’s no wonder how it makes giant footprints on the mountain valley.
Aqua dodges it, but the rock blocked the entrance, so nobody gets in or gets out.
“So that’s what the giant rock monster looks like! Time to practice my skills while using my Blimp Pearl’s powers!” Aqua said as she flew upwards.
As she did, Aqua dodged the giant rock boulders. Some of them are bigger than her, and most of them are much larger, so she better have to dodge them.
But as Aqua reaches to the edge where the giant rock golem is, it’s gone.
“It must have climbed higher or hide somewhere. I’ve gotta find it!” Aqua said as she’s flying higher to find the monster.
Aqua has reached the mountain over 3,000 meters, the sky’s getting darker; the sunlight turned out to be a thunderstorm. She saw more soldiers who were fighting small rock golems.
There are lots of them, and the soldiers are no match for them.
Aqua flies down and tackles the rock minions with her inflated body and whacks them with her tail. The soldiers were both amazed and shocked to see Ryujin’s daughter can fly, and was puffed up.
After Aqua defeats the small rock golems, she flies upward to find the big one.
“GET ‘EM, PRINCESS AQUA!!” Odyssey Royal Knight No.3 shouted. “KICK ITS ASS!!”
“YEAH, SHOW THAT DAMN MONSTER WHO’S THE KING OF THE-” Odyssey Royal Knight No.4 shouted, while stopping what he said incorrectly, then he shouted to correct the word. “QUEEN OF THE MOUNTAIN!!”
“Thank you, soldiers! And I will!” Aqua called as she keeps flying upward while she reaches almost 5,000 meters.
While the Mermaid Princess now reaches 6,500 meters tall on the mountain, it’s now raining. But the rain keeps her refreshed for a while. And then she found the rock golem.
It still looks angry and tosses the rock boulders at Aqua, but misses her.
“Alright, I think this is the last time that it tosses the rocks at me! Time to get big!” Aqua shouted as she closed her Blimp Pearl’s powers.
Then her body, tail and breasts started to inflate bigger rapidly to her Super Blimp form and stopped, and then she flew upwards to face the rock golem.
Although she’s still 6.4 meters tall and nearly 11 meters long, she needs to get bigger. Then Aqua got an idea, she closed her eyes, and focused on her Growth Hairpin which it’s glowing white.
And then Aqua’s body didn’t inflate, but it’s growing to giantess size while keeping her Super Blimp form.
She's even surpassing the sizes of rock boulders which were thrown by an angry rock golem who keeps throwing at the giant, ballooned mermaid.
When Aqua reaches 8,000 meters while the rock golem stands on the edge of the huge rock pillar which is over 2,000 meters wide, the mermaid princess has stopped growing, and she’s now 60 meters tall and 65 meters tall!
And now Aqua found herself face to face with a giant rock golem, and is ready to fight!
The giant rock monster charges towards Aqua, pulls its arm and throws into its fist while the mermaid rotates upwards, and the golem punches Aqua’s ballooned belly, and sends her flying some centimeters away as she rolls backwards.
Despite being hit, Aqua is not hurt, but was sent away by a rock monster’s strong attack.
Aqua swam towards the rock golem as her tail turned black and hardened. Then she swung her Haki-imbued tail and hit the monster’s torso. The rock golem roared in agony, and swung its arms to hit the ballooned mermaid, but deflected them with her tail.
The monster grabs Aqua by her tail, spins her around, and tosses her up in the air. The rock golem grabs the rocks and tosses them at Aqua, who dodges them and flies towards it, and tackles it down to the ground.
Aqua couldn’t use her Haki-imbued fists because her big breasts are on her way. So, she’s still using her tail and body to try to defeat the rock golem.
Suddenly, the rock golem leapt towards Aqua and pinned her down to the ground, but then it was bounced off by the mermaid’s inflated body and slammed into the ground.
Aqua charges towards the rock golem who gets up and dodges out of her way. The Mermaid Princess swiftly turns around and flies towards the rock golem and tackles towards the mountain wall and slams into it.
The rock monster rotates his body, and then makes a roundhouse kick at Aqua’s belly, and sends her into the sky. Aqua looked down at the rock golem who let its loud roar at her.
“My body and tail worked so far, but I can’t punch it because my big breasts are out of my way. If I could somehow tackle it off the mountain and fall back to the ground level, I wouldn’t be at a disadvantage.” Aqua said.
“My Haki-imbued tail is not enough. And I don’t know my ballooned chest can help at all, except push it back from me.” Aqua muttered.
Then she looked at her body, and was wondering… Then she suddenly has a lightbulb moment.
“I got it! I’ve gotta try with this!” Aqua said as she flew upward and higher above the mountain.
She keeps ascending until she’s reached 10,000 meters, and then diving with full speed. Her tail turned and hardened again while she spins to increase its power before striking the rock golem with her tail and sending it flying off the edge.
The rock golem falls towards the ground level, back first, flailing and roaring.
After it slams the ground, the rock golem breaks into a thousand pieces; it's now dead.
Aqua looked over the edge, and saw the giant rock monster breaking into a thousand pieces to its death, and sighed satisfied. “Phew… I did it!”
♫Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX - A Twinkle In The Sky♫
30 minutes later, Aqua, who shrinks back to her regular size, and she’s still in her Super Blimp form, carries the trapped soldiers back to the mountain valleys where the village was crushed and gently puts them down to the ground.
“Thanks, Princess Aqua. You’ve defeated the rock monster.” Odyssey Royal Knight No.3 said.
“Glad to help you out. Are all the villagers, even the injured couple, evacuated?” Aqua asked.
“We got a call from our Transponder Snail, and they say they’re recovering their injuries slowly. They’ll make it. The rest of the villagers evacuated to another village somewhere in the mountain valley.” Odyssey Royal Knight No.4 replied.
“That’s a relief.” Aqua sighed. “Now I gotta go, I mean fly. See you. Take care.”
After saying goodbye to the soldiers, Aqua flies off to the sky, and heads back to the ocean.
Later at midnight…
Aqua, now in her regular blimp form, floats outside the Kingdom of Odyssey, and now floats above the clouds and relaxes. She’s looking at the stars in the sky.
“Those stars look so pretty… I wish I could fly up here every night.” Aqua said as she put her arms on her ballooned bosoms and looked enchanted at the stars.
“Hmm… I wonder how the great kings and queens are doing up there…” Aqua wondered as she wondered about the deceased king and queens in the stars.
“I hope you did guide me through the Kingdom of Odyssey. There are lots of places to explore. It was so… breathtaking.” Aqua said.
Then she looked at the full moon. It illuminates both Aqua and the sea of clouds with its light, and brightens them up a little. The way the moon radiating in the night sky also seems so enchanting and relaxing.
“It’s so beautiful… I’ve never seen the moon this close before.” Aqua sighed as she’s looking at her bosoms and then Blimp Pearl. “If it wasn’t for this magical pearl, I would never float up here. It feels so enchanting and thrilling.”
Then she yawned and stretched her arms, and became drowsy.
“I think… I need to sleep up here…” Aqua said as she slowly floats to the large bed of clouds and lays down.
Then she’s sleeping on the cloud. This might be Aqua’s first time sleeping in the sky instead of under the ocean.
♫Final Fantasy XV - Horizon♫
Next morning…
It is pre-dawn. When the rays of sun shine through Aqua’s eyes, she moans, and slowly wakes up as the sun rises, turning the sky from black to red.
Aqua slowly gets up while she rubs her inflated body, then her eyes, and then she stretches her arms and yawns. She looked at the sun that slowly rose above the ocean.
“What a morning…” Aqua sighed as she looked down at her inflated body, and then at the ocean. “Well… I guess it’s time for me to go home.”
Aqua focuses on her Blimp Pearl’s powers while closing her eyes, then she can feel the magical air rushing through her throat and then a large gust of air comes zooming out from her lips.
♫One Piece Music & Song Collection 3 - Food Fight (0:00 to 0:16)♫
She began zooming up into the sky, a deflating balloon, flying and zooming across the sky as her body grew smaller and smaller. And then as she was almost done deflating, she came zooming toward the ocean and plunged into the ocean.
Aqua’s still zooming through the ocean, and after she’s back to her normal appearance, she slowly sinks to the sea floor, and now is looking all dizzy.
“Woaaooooaaoooow…” Aqua groaned. “I’ve gotta control that deflation part…”
Then she’s shaking her head to snap out of it, and looks up at the surface, and smiles.
“Well, that was some flight. It was pretty fun and exciting.” Aqua said as she started to swim off while headed to Atlantis.
“I’ve got to tell my parents some exciting news! I can’t wait to see their faces!” Aqua giggled excitedly.
At the throne room, Aqua was welcomed by Ryujin, Athena, Raki, Coral, and Chel who were happy to see her.
Aqua explained to her parents, Raki and two axolotls about her adventure about the Blimp Pearl and flying up in the sky. And she explained that she flies across the land of the Odyssey Kingdom and then battles against the rock golem.
All of this experience Aqua went through really surprises her parents, Raki, Coral and Chel a lot because the magical pearl Aqua found in the sunken cruiser ship.
♫Sonic Unleashed - Cutscene - A New Journey♫
“This is really astonishing. It seems you have found the magical pearl that inflates you like a balloon, you explore above the ocean, then the Odyssey Kingdom, and then head to the mountain to fight the rock golem all by yourself?” Athena asked, stunned.
“Yes, mother.” Aqua nodded. “That journey was amazing that I would never forget.”
“Wow, what an unusual experience, young Princess.” Raki said, amazed.
“Hey, Chel. Did Aqua say that Blimp Pearl’s powers make her inflate, just like us?” Coral asked.
“Yes, I believe I did. But we shall see if it’s true or not.” Chel said.
“Hah! You're doin' great, my dear. You didn’t just save the villages and their people, but you restored the natural balance.” Ryujin said, overjoyed.
“Thanks, father. I am just doing this to protect the humans from any kind of monsters.” Aqua nodded.
“Whatever you’re doing, I’m so proud to have you as my daughter.” Ryujin said.
“Aqua, it may sound kind of a bit ludicrous to ask but…” Athena started while blushing. “Could you show us this magical Blimp Pearl’s powers?”
“Oh, right! But you’d better be careful what you wish for, Mother, because it came true.” Aqua said as she closed her eyes, and then her Blimp Pearl glows, and then her body started to glowing too as the hissing sound came from within her.
And then Aqua’s belly, breasts, and tail started to inflate rapidly, and then grow bigger and rounder until she reached her Super Blimp form, the hissing noise subsided and her body stopped glowing.
Ryujin, Athena, Raki, Coral and Chel gaped and blinked in surprise.
“MECHOKKU!!” They all cried, surprised.
“Whoa, Aqua! What happened? You looked… puffy!” Ryujin gasped.
“See this? This is how the Blimp Pearl worked. When I focus deep down on its energy, it transfers into my body and starts to spread around me and makes me inflate like a big pufferfish and become weightless. That’s how I’m flying.” Aqua explained.
“Unbelievable… So that’s the power of the Blimp Pearl.” Athena gasped, amazed.
“So how do you feel, Aqua? Feeling dizzy or a bit sick?” Ryujin asked.
“No, I just feel so big and round. Besides that, it feels amazing.” Aqua replied as Raki swam towards her.
He carefully presses Aqua’s bloated abdomen, and it feels so soft and tender.
“By the Gods…! Aqua, your body feels so soft, and not so tight. Does that hurt a bit?” Raki asked.
“No, not at all.” Aqua replied as she shook her head.
“Hey, Aqua! I gotta admit that you look so cute when you’re inflated.” Coral coos as she approaches and floats in front of face.
“Thanks, Coral. Maybe you can hope on my back if you want to fly.” Aqua said.
“Actually, there’s something Chel and I wanted to show you.” Coral said as Chel floated with her.
“Huh? What do you mean?” Aqua asked.
“Shall we show her our demonstration, Chel?” Coral asked.
“Yes, I believe we shall.” Chel nodded.

Coral and Chel both swam way back from the round-shaped Mermaid Princess, and then afterward they took a deep breath, and then their bodies started to inflate too. Two female axolotls keep inflating until they’re both big as a basketball and stop inhaling.
Aqua, Raki, Ryujin and Athena gaped and widened their eyes in surprise.
“Well, there's something you don't see every day.” Ryujin said.
“Coral?! How did you do that?!” Raki questioned, shocked as Coral deflated back to her normal shape again.
“Oh, two weeks ago after I followed Chel to find out about Kiros’ hideout, I was actually stung by a pufferfish.” Coral explained.
“EEH?! P-PUFFERFISH?! Uaaah…!” Raki gasped as his eyes bulged in shock, then groaned while he fainted on the floor on his back.
“Did the poison kill you, Coral?” Aqua asked worriedly.
“No. The poison from that puffer fish is a rare specimen when only creatures get stung by it. Once it stung me, the poison merged within my DNA and cells. So, it mutates me into a puffer axolotl.” Coral explained.
“Phew…” Aqua sighed. “Well, I’m glad the poison is not deadly.”
The balloon-shaped mermaid princess carefully hugged Coral and nuzzled her head. “I think you’re cute when you’re puffy too.”
“Thanks, Aqua.” Coral purrs.
“And what about you, Chel? Did you get stung by the same pufferfish too?” Ryujin asked.
“Me? No, Your Majesty. I absorb the powers from the glowing crystal in the mini trench, and it grants me an ability to inflate with my will just like Coral.” Chel said, and then she let the water out of her body, and she didn’t fly backward.
“A rare magical crystal you found in the mini trench, huh? That’s very intriguing.” Ryujin said as Athena approaches her ballooned daughter. “Athena?”
“My daughter… This Blimp Pearl has such fascinating powers that blows you up and grants you to fly in the sky.” Athena said.
“Yeah, it sure is.” Aqua said.
“You see, I have such a wondrous dream about flying above the ocean and exploring the skies, free like a bird. And I can see the world down below me, and of course the distant land, islands and the vast ocean on the horizon. There are lots of things that I would like to see all over not just the Odyssey Kingdom, but the whole world too.” Athena said.
“Wow…” Aqua gasped, silently.
“And at the end of my dream, when I woke up, I just had the feeling that whatever that happened, I was supposed to be there.” Athena replied.
“Yeah. Me too!” Aqua nodded.
“So, Aqua. Could I ask you a favor?” The mermaid queen asked.
“Sure. Can you climb on my back so we can fly above the ocean?” Aqua asked, and her mother chuckles and shakes her head as ‘no’.
“Of course not, my dear. I would like to know how it feels to be inflated. Could you share your Blimp Pearl’s powers to me?” Athena asked.
“What?!” Aqua, Coral and Chel questioned, surprised.
“Really, my love? Do you want to be inflated too?” The merman king asked, surprised.
“Yes, Ryu. I would like to feel how big I can be.” Athena replied.
“Alright then… Think you can do it, Aqua?” Ryujin asked.
♫Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep - Dearly Belovedy♫
“Well… I haven’t shared my Blimp Pearl’s powers to the others before, but… I’ll try. I’ll try.” Aqua said unsure, but then nodded in understanding.
Aqua takes a deep sigh, and focuses on the powers within her Blimp Pearl which started to glow, and then she shares the magical energy within Athena who started to glow.
The light enveloped Athena as her body began to slowly grow bigger and bigger because her torso began to take the shape of a balloon.
Slowly and slowly, the balloon in her stomach continued to expand, earning the awe of King Ryujin, Coral, and Chel as the mermaid queen turned into a huge blimp.
Athena has reached her Super Blimp form, but she's a little bigger than Aqua, so she’s 8.5 meters tall from her belly to her back and 13 meters long from her big breasts to her tail fin.
Raki slowly woke up, moaned and groaned, and looked up, and then gasped, before he fainted again.
“Wow… Queen Athena! It really worked!” Coral gasped, amazed.
“And Aqua’s body didn’t deflate even though she's using her Blimp Pearl. I think sharing its energy with other mermaids really worked.” Chel said, amazed.
“Athena…!” Ryujin gasped. “Are you okay?”
“This feels so… divine… godly… And yet… It's wonderful.” Athena replied, carefully rubbing her ballooned body and then her bulbous breasts.
“Well… So are you, my love.” Ryujin as he blushed.
“Mother… You're a bit bigger than me.” Aqua said sheepishly.
“Hehehe, so you noticed.” Athena chuckles, and then gives her a gentle hug around her ballooned daughter. “Thank you for sharing your power. I think I shall come with you someday.”
“Yes, mother… It would be a pleasure, and fun too.” Aqua said, before letting her soft sigh as she kept hugging her ballooned mother.
Coral and Chel swam to King Ryujin’s shoulder.
“Your Majesty, you don’t mind them being inflated with Aqua’s Blimp Pearl, do you?” Coral asked.
“I don’t mind at all, Coral. It doesn’t matter when they are inflated or not, they are part of my family. And I always love them for what they are now, even in their ridiculous state.” Ryujin said as he picked up Raki and chuckled sheepishly.
Maybe tomorrow, or maybe next week, Aqua and Athena are going to travel above the ocean and the land of the Odyssey Kingdom.
And that concludes Aqua’s first adventure as a big balloon mermaid princess… But on her next adventure, she’s going to fly again, and this time with her mother.
TO BE CONTINUED…
Here's the eight chapter of Aqua: Mermaid Princess of Atlantis.
(Contains with body inflation)
Finally, this is the chapter you've been waiting for... And this time is about Aqua find the Blimp Pearl in the sunken cruiser ship, and she has learned its weird, but amazing powers that make her inflating like a balloon.
Thrilled by its power, Aqua takes her first steps as flying in the sky, and travels above the ocean, and then flying across the land of the Odyssey Kingdom.
While she's at it, the Mermaid Princess is taking her own challenge to taking down a giant rock golem who terrorized the villages in the mountain valleys.
Alas, there are no songs in this chapter.
Again, I'll add music tracks to feels like an old-fashioned and traditional Disney movie, and of course One Piece episodes.
And I hope you like my eight chapter of Aqua Mermaid Princess of Atlantis.
