He then breaks into the sub which is filled with water and the crew murdered he then finds what he believes to be Manta dead only to find a note saying impostors will die. Aquaman then follows a group of fish carrying seaweed who pass it off to crabs onshore where he runs into Porm's killer Demon Gate who reveals he's been killing the animals who delivered his food, this causes Aquaman to decide to break the deal which he can no longer do without his telepathy so he returns to Manta's ship for his helmet so he can breathe underwater.He is then attacked by Demon Gate who has linked with the helmet's weapons and summons Black Manta's ship.
