Brawling the Leviathan

You want me to fight a sea monster? Challenge accepted! Right past my rolled map, lurking in an open wooden drying crate, was the nastiest beast yet—a giant, spiky dried blowfish with hollow bulgy eyes and fierce needles sticking out everywhere! Shishishi! I didn't back down. I planted my sandals wide, dropped into my battle stance, and hurled a fierce punch straight into its dry, sandpaper snout! Thwack! The blowfish rocked back, bobbed on its curled tail, and swung right back to bonk me on the forehead. I laughed out loud, locked both arms around its prickly fins, and wrestled it flat onto the cedar planks. Monster defeated!
