### Summary
Following the recent murder of their legendary harpooner father, Teon Ma, siblings Bota and Lita are journeying with their guardian, Kana, to the floating city of Busan Union. Their mission is to find a cure for Lita's leviathan-induced mutation, which she contracted during a battle with the sea demon Genod. The narrative has recently shifted focus to a backstory revealing that Teon Ma died heroically while fighting one of the seven most powerful sea monsters. This revelation has successfully redeemed the father's character in the eyes of readers, who now respect his immense power and find the story is "getting interesting" again, overshadowing previous criticism of a new character's tonally inappropriate "fanservice" attire. Current reader commentary reflects this renewed engagement, with fans expressing a strong desire for Bota to recover his father's weapon. There is also active speculation that Kana may have been mentored by Teon Ma, further connecting her to the family's legacy, although some readers found the chapter's final panels confusing.
