Kaiko stood on the bowsprit. Bucket in one hand, a small knife in the other. A nice breeze played with her short hair. The sun warmed her skin. Yes this is a nice day to go for a swim. She stepped to the side allowing herself to fall feet first into the water. On contact she began to transform into her Lycan form. Flipper-like appendages grew out of her back. Her feet came together forming a shark-like tail. Her skin turned blue as it turned slick allowing her to breathe through it. She tightened her grip and began swimming down to the sea floor.
She was not too far from shore so the swim was short. She stopped just above the sand and dropped the knife into the bucket. Then put both in the sand. She moved away from the bucket and started digging. The sand filled the water turning it murky. Visibility became limited at best as she relied on her hands to find her prey. She felt something hard in the sand and immediately sent both hands digging for it. Unfortunately it was not a clam but a bottle. Annoyed, she dropped it, moved forward a bit more and repeated the process. In the clouded water she realised that she had the ability to turn into a shark. And not just any shark, a sand shark whose main diet consisted of crustaceans.
Almost as soon as the thought came to mind her face became rounded. Her teeth became pointed and her eyes changed to black. Gills formed and her breathing changed. Besides the fins of the sea dragon slug she was now shaped like a shark. The major difference to note was the black blue and white coloring of her slug form. With the transformation she was now able to sense the heartbeat of many little fish. But more importantly she could now smell the clams she was looking for. She immediately put her snout in the sand and shook her head as she dug up the clam. She caught it in her teeth, careful to not crush it as she brought it to the bucket and dropped it in. One down, a bucket to go. She turned and began digging for the next one.
The sand would rise in the water thick like fog as she continued to dig. Finding her targeted prey was so much easier now. The few small crustaceans that were not clams became food to help maintain the shark appendages she was using. Her bucket was steadily filling up. One more and she transformed into her Lycan form. She grabbed the bucket with both hands and swam towards her ship. Getting to her ship she would grab the network on the side and began climbing only using her hands and slug stickiness. Top side she would dump the contents of her bucket into a barrel. Again she would dive into the water, bucket in hand but this time she left the knife. She again sat down the bucket and took on the shark features to continue the task.
