Life on Wadanohara's boat was mostly peaceful, with the sound of waves hitting against the boat being the only disturbance. But for Dolpi, who was hiding behind a nearby barrel, the boat was far from quiet. She was watching Samekichi, who was on the deck, with great trepidation. Dolpi was terrified of Samekichi, to the point that it was becoming a source of irritation for him. Every time Dolpi saw him, she would quickly hide or flee the scene. It didn't matter what Samekichi was doing, Dolpi always assumed the worst.
Samekichi let out a frustrated sigh as he casted a glance towards the barrel where Dolpi was hiding behind. He couldn't help but feel annoyed by her constant surveillance. It was as if Dolpi was always watching his every move, stalking him no matter where he went. The shark then grumbled to himself as he approached the barrel where Dolpi was hiding behind. He fully expected her to dart away before he even got close, but to his surprise, she remained stationary. There was a brief moment of awkward staring before Samekichi finally broke the silence. He proposed a friendly competition.
"...Arm wrestling?" Dolpi's voice was barely above a whisper as she contemplated the suggestion. He was a fearsome shark after all, and Dolpi was convinced that he would break her arm without a second thought. Despite her inner thoughts warning her against it, Dolpi found herself nodding in agreement. Samekichi couldn't believe what he was seeing and hearing. Dolpi, who was normally so intimidated by him, was not only still standing in place but also agreeing to his proposal. He leaned over the barrel and extended his arm, ready for their arm wrestling match. Dolpi's hesitation was obvious; her hand trembling as she placed it onto Samekichi's.
Samekichi counted down, three... Two... One... And with that, the match began. It was over in a heartbeat. Dolpi won. Wait... Dolpi won?! "Huh..?" Dolpi uttered softly, quite bewildered herself.
