Percy rushed towards the enchanted cooler without anyone interfering, driven by a desperate need for something special. He opened the lid and sifted through the ice, hoping to find the item he was looking for. Finally, his efforts paid off when he discovered a silver-and-red can of soda, which he proudly held up to the dolphin warriors as if it were a weapon against them.

With a triumphant shout, Percy waved the can around, declaring it the favored drink of the gods. He jokingly threatened the dolphin warriors by likening it to a repellent, showcasing his characteristic humor and confidence even in a tense situation. The absurdity of using Diet Coke as a form of intimidation highlights Percy's playful personality amidst the chaos.
