Playful Trickster

As the tide receded, a gigantic Sea Beast emerged from the sea.

This Sea Beast named "Momoo" is a manatee that Arlong and his crew brought back from the Grand Line, literally meaning a manatee.

Apart from its fish-shaped body, it looks exactly like an adorable little cow.

"Baka!"

Momoo was so large that even Arlong, unable to gain any leverage in mid-air, was knocked over and tumbled over.

Fortunately, Momoo's appearance did have an effect. With a tail whip, it struck the oncoming white smoke, forcing Smoker's upper body to revert to human form and confront it.

Nami.

"Um?"

"There's a problem."

"You ask."

Will it produce milk?

Bang!

Despite being handcuffed, Nami still tried to use her "Conqueror's Haki Coating" to beat up her teammates.

"You lecherous bastard, I'll get bigger later!" Nami roared.

"Huh? Isn't it big enough?"

Ma Qiao gently released Nami's wrist and pointed to the giant manatee in the distance.

"Well?"

Nami paused, then asked, "You mean, does Momoo produce milk?"

"Yes! What else?"

Ma Qiao asked curiously, "That thing is a cow, right? But it doesn't seem to have those mysterious little dots. How can it produce milk without those little dots?"

"How could I... okay... I know..."

Nami sighed and rubbed her forehead. "Momoo can produce milk; her little dots are just hidden under her scales... Ma Qiao, don't let Momoo's seemingly silly and cute appearance fool you, she's actually quite terrifying... Huh? Ma Qiao?"

Nami blinked; there was no one beside her anymore.

Where is that big, muscular, handsome guy next to me?

It was just here a moment ago, where did it go?

"Smoker, spare the cow!" Ma Qiao shouted.

Although Momoo is enormous, it's not even a typical Sea Kings, so it's not a threat to Smoker.

He was about to resolve this trouble with a single blow and go have a go with the "Quasi-Shichibukai" when he suddenly felt a weight on his shoulders, followed by two muscular thighs hanging down from either side of his neck.

With a Flash, Ma Qiao landed comfortably on Smoker's shoulders!

You bastard!

Smoker roared, "When did you show up? Get down here right now!"

"Oh, don't mind me, it's just that I'm not a Logia Devil Fruit User... Your Devil Fruit is really convenient!"

Ma Qiao waved his hand dismissively and said it without any sincerity.

Smoker's temples bulged with veins. "You bastard! Aren't you a Bird-Bird Devil Fruit User? Even if you can't fly, you could at least flap your wings a couple of times!"

"No!" Ma Qiao refused decisively.

"Why?"

"Because the design is too ugly! Prince Charming is much more handsome... Um, I'm the prince, and you're the white horse..."

"You bastard, I'm going to kill you!"

Smoker unleashed a barrage of threats and threats at Ma Qiao.

Even so, Smoker, despite cursing, kept Ma Qiao floating steadily in the air with him on his back, even though he could get rid of Ma Qiao by simply transforming into his elemental form again.

Seemingly dissatisfied with the two tiny humans ignoring it, Momoo opened its blood-red maw and let out a "Moo~" roar.

"Scarf Kid, you told me to stop? Is there something strange about this Sea Beast?"

Smoker sized up the colossal beast before him, a rare creature even on the Grand Line, and hesitated.

"No, it's just... this ox has a special connection with me!"

Ma Qiao shook his head, then suddenly reached out and pressed Smoker's head down so hard that Smoker's neck was almost twisted.

"You bastard! I'm going to kill you!" Smoker threatened, his words lacking any real threat.

"Standing on the waves!"

"Saning Awu, do not think of Zuo Laowu!"

Using Smoker's head as a fulcrum, Ma Qiao, like a nimble swallow, easily flipped and leaped onto Momoo's head.

Why did Garp give Twitch a large sum of money for repairs, only to have the "Twitch" end up in this terrible state?

There's a reason for that, of course.

Fizz, the Tidal Trickster, was already chosen as Ma Qiao's seventh Retainer, but he had been sent away on a special mission by Ma Qiao long ago.

Fizz's recruitment not only provided Ma Qiao with a very good mobility skill, [Playful Trickster], but also allowed him to solve a problem that had plagued him for more than a decade.

What exactly does the phrase "peeing on the ground" mean?

After asking him directly, Ma Qiao learned that Fizz was actually a Shanghai Fish-Man who could speak fluent Shanghainese.

"Pissing Er Lerumu" actually means "No one can catch me".

Who the hell could have predicted this?

However, Fizz's agility at least made up for Ma Qiao's weakness of having more strength but less agility.

Standing firmly on Momoo's forehead, Teacher Ma clenched his fist and slammed it down:

"Serious Punch!"

"Awoo~"

Just as Ma Qiao had predicted, this Steller's sea cow, like in the original story, was all bark and no bite.

With its enormous size and degenerated limbs, the manatee Momoo is completely unable to protect its fragile head.

With the powerful arm strength that Ma Qiao had worked so hard to develop, plus the bonus provided by [Decisive Strike], his Riot Games, encased in Fighting Gloves, slammed heavily into Momoo's forehead.

The ferocious Steller's head immediately swelled up with an exaggerated bump, its face showed a childlike expression of grievance, and its big eyes instantly filled with tears.

"Momoo of the manatee, you don't want this sandbag-sized Riot Games to keep landing on your forehead, do you?"

Ma Qiao's face showed a threatening expression, and he made a move as if to deliver another heavy punch.

Having already suffered, the manatee immediately displayed a human-like expression, shaking its head vigorously.

"Then you better squat quietly to the side and don't cause any trouble, or else you'll have your juice!"

After making his threat, Ma Qiao used [Playful Trickster] again and jumped back onto Smoker's shoulder.

Momoo obediently stepped aside, and with its forelimbs pulled out a small fan from somewhere to cheer on the Fish-Man.

No matter how much Hachi encouraged him, Momoo only provided the Fish-Man with all the support they needed except for fighting ability.

Smoker said incredulously, "That's it? Just one punch?"

Ma Qiao shook his head. "You can't just throw a punch, but my punch is a punch of humanity that incorporates a series of theories of human nature, including Criminal Psychology, Pet Psychology, and Stockholm Syndrome... Sigh, you wouldn't understand even if I told you."

Smoker: "..."

In fact, Ma Qiao had a very good understanding of the manatee's temperament.

Simply put, this guy is a complete coward.

Whoever can give it a good beating will make it submit to its tyranny for the rest of its life.

That's why Ma Qiao wanted to beat Smoker up before he could so that Smoker would later recognize Maggio as his master.

Such a big cow, and it will keep growing, only idiots like Arlong and Caribou would use it as a combatant and a means of transportation.

With this, my lovely students can drink fresh Cow's Milk every day.
