Chapter 7: The Temporary Demise
The Grand Sea continued to challenge Oppo and Sente with its vastness and mysteries. After unlocking the power of Gear 2, they pressed on, determined to explore every corner of the ocean and uncover its secrets. Little did they know that their greatest test was yet to come.
One fateful day, as The Star Voyager sailed through calm waters, a sudden and violent storm appeared on the horizon. The sky darkened, and the sea roared with fury. Lightning cracked across the heavens, and the waves rose like towering walls.
Oppo and Sente braced themselves, but nothing could have prepared them for the true nature of the storm. From the swirling waters emerged a colossal sea serpent, its scales glistening with an otherworldly glow. This was Boa-Derea's final revenge—he had somehow survived their last encounter and now commanded this monstrous beast.
The serpent's eyes gleamed with malevolence as it lunged at The Star Voyager. Oppo and Sente fought valiantly, but the serpent's power was immense. Despite his Gear 2 strength, Oppo found himself struggling against the creature's relentless assault.
In the midst of the chaos, Oppo realized that there was only one way to save Sente and their ship. He had to use every bit of his power, even if it meant sacrificing himself. With a heavy heart, he shouted the words that had become his battle cry: “Doa doa na!”
Summoning all his strength, Oppo unleashed a series of devastating attacks:

* “Doa doa na! Crimson Fist!” His glowing hand struck the serpent’s scales with explosive force, causing them to crack and shatter.
* “Doa doa na! Flash Kick!” With blinding speed, his foot connected with the serpent’s body, sending shockwaves through the beast.
* “Doa doa na! Meteor Strike!” His entire body surged with power as he delivered a mighty blow that sent the serpent reeling.
The serpent reeled in pain, but it was not enough to defeat the beast. In a final, desperate act, Oppo channeled all of his energy into one ultimate blow.
“Doa doa na! Final Burst!” His hand glowed brighter than ever before as he struck the serpent’s heart. The impact was cataclysmic, sending shockwaves through the sea and sky.
The serpent let out a deafening roar before collapsing into the depths, its reign of terror finally ended. But the victory came at a great cost. The immense power Oppo had unleashed took its toll on his body. He collapsed to the deck of The Star Voyager, his energy spent.
Sente rushed to his side, her heart breaking at the sight of her fallen friend. “Oppo, no...”
Oppo managed a weak smile, his eyes filled with peace. “Sente, you have to continue... our journey... the world still needs you...” His voice trailed off as he slipped into unconsciousness.
With tears streaming down her face, Sente held Oppo close. The storm began to dissipate, and the sea grew calm once more. Though Oppo's body lay still, Sente refused to believe that this was the end.
“We will find a way to bring you back,” she vowed, her voice trembling with determination. “I won’t give up on you, Oppo.”
With renewed resolve, Sente steered The Star Voyager toward the nearest island, seeking help and hoping against hope that Oppo's sacrifice would not be in vain. She knew that their journey was far from over, and that Oppo’s spirit would guide her in the battles to come.
As the sun set on the horizon, casting a golden glow over the sea, Sente whispered a promise to the winds. “We will find you, Oppo. And we will bring you back.”
