Sea Beast Momoo

Cocoyasi Village harbor.

The remaining hypnotist Jango and the Cat Brothers were currently dealing with six fish-men who had just returned from collecting protection money; the two sides clashed the moment they met.

"Lowly humans! How dare you step foot into the territory of our Arlong Pirates! Go to hell!"

A fish-man brandished a steel trident, grinning hideously as he charged at the hypnotist Jango. They had dominated these waters for so many years that they had never encountered any real opposition!

They intended to slaughter these humans just like always and feed them to the sea beasts!

"Butchie, Sham, go into Feral Beast Mode!"

Hypnotist Jango pulled out a bladed ring and instantly hypnotized the Cat Brothers, forcing them into a muscular, berserk state that multiplied their strength and speed several times over while stripping away their sense of fear.

Jango himself charged into the fray as well. After all, he had once served as the captain of the Black Cat Pirates, and his current bounty stood at a staggering 10 million Beli; there was no way he would lose to a few fish-man lackeys!

Since joining Daddy's crew, they had been forced to train alongside him, slowly growing and improving bit by bit.

As they engaged the fish-men, half the villagers of Cocoyasi Village also rushed toward the harbor, armed with hoes, pitchforks, and other farm tools, determined to help the crew of Nami's pirate ship take down these detestable fish-men!

As more and more fish-men returned, they immediately began fighting Jango, the brothers, and the villagers at the harbor.

Suddenly, several fish-men drove a massive cow-like Sea King toward the Big Daddy Pirates' Dreadnaught Sabre, slamming into it with brute force.

This sent a jolt of terror through Jango, but remembering the even more terrifying Daddy, he gritted his teeth and charged toward the Cow Sea Beast!

"Hey! You trashy sea monster! Look at me!!"

Hypnotist Jango stared at the Cow Sea Beast, sweat pouring down his face, as he aimed his hypnotic ring and unleashed his hypnotic skill.

"Haha! What the hell is this? Are you trying to make us die of laughter?"

The fish-man standing atop the Cow Sea Beast laughed, looking at Jango as if he were an idiot.

But the next moment, the Cow Sea Beast's eyes began to swirl, and it collapsed stiffly into the sea—straighter than Ma Wubian—instantly kicking up a massive splash that sent the fish-men riding it flying.

"Momoo! You piece of trash!! Wake up!"

A fish-man lackey roared in fury, grabbing his steel trident and stabbing it frantically into the Cow Sea Beast's tender, massive anus.

This heartless maneuver instantly taught the Cow Sea Beast the meaning of ten-level pain!

"MOOO!!!!"

The agony sent the Cow Sea Beast into a red-eyed frenzy, and with a single swipe of its tail, it smashed that fish-man into a bloody pulp, dissolving him into a cloud of gore in the sea.

The crazed Cow Sea Beast continued its rampage, charging wildly toward the Big Daddy Pirates' ship.

"Oh no! I can't control it, run!!"

Hypnotist Jango scrambled away as fast as his legs could carry him; his hypnotic ring was completely useless against a beast that had lost its mind.

Seeing this, the Cat Brothers didn't dare guard the ship either and turned to flee. Even if Captain Daddy beat them to a pulp later, there was no choice—if they didn't run now, they'd be crushed to death by the sea beast.

The villagers at the harbor also fled in a panic. They were afraid of death too, but amidst the chaos, they saw a young man sprinting toward the danger.

"Captain! We can't hold it off!"

Jango and the Cat Brothers saw Daddy charging toward them and shouted in excitement, as if they had just seen a god.

"Get out of the way!"

"Barrier: Clear Sky Hammer!!"

As Daddy sprinted, his right hand extended into a ten-meter-long barrier hammer, which he swung with devastating force at the rampaging Cow Sea Beast!

The blow was so powerful it made the Cow Sea Beast's eyes bulge out, instantly knocking it unconscious. It collapsed onto the surface of the sea, its massive body creating another gargantuan splash before bobbing a few times and finally floating still.

"He knocked out Momoo!!"

"It's the captain of the Big Daddy Pirates!!"

"Why hasn't Brother Arlong come out to deal with them yet!"

"Quick! Notify Brother Arlong!"

The fish-man lackeys shouted in a frenzy. Facing the Big Daddy Pirates, whose captain held a bounty equal to Arlong's, they began to feel a sense of dread!

"No need to look for him! I'll send you to meet him!"

"Basic Technique: Five-Piercer!!"

Daddy drew Sandai Kitetsu and charged. A Z-shaped flash of sword light swept past, and five fish-man lackeys collapsed, spurting blood in unison.

Jango and the Cat Brothers watched their captain display his terrifying power, taking down the massive Cow Sea Beast and five fish-men in just two moves!

"You three! Your training volume is doubled from now on!!"

Daddy swept his gaze over the three of them before looking out at the small boats and dorsal fins appearing on the sea; some fish-men were swimming directly toward the harbor to collect their protection money.

"Yes, Captain!"

The three of them didn't dare talk back to their captain, and the fact that Daddy hadn't punished them for failing to guard the ship was already a stroke of immense luck!

Perhaps noticing the commotion at the Cocoyasi Village harbor, the fish-men waited until they had gathered a group of twenty before charging back together.

"What is going on here!!!"

Seeing the bloodstains on the shore and the unconscious Momoo, the fish-men were incensed, leaping onto the land one by one, intent on slaughtering Daddy and all the gathered villagers!

"Hey, hey! Daddy, are you still trying to hog all the fun for yourself?"

Pirate Hunter Zoro and Kuro of a Hundred Plans walked out from Arlong Park and arrived at the harbor.

"How did they get here from the territory? Didn't Big Brother Arlong kill them?!"

Some of the fish-men lackeys shouted, but a terrifying thought began to sprout in their hearts: could it be that Big Brother Arlong had been taken out?

"Don't let them escape!"

Daddy said indifferently before charging forward at high speed once more, while Zoro and Kuro instantly drew their blades and plunged into the crowd of fish-men.

In just a few dozen seconds, the dozen or so fish-men didn't even have the chance to flee back into the sea before they fell upon the island!

"Come out and clean this up!"

Daddy shouted at Jango and the Cat Brothers, scaring the trio into rushing over immediately to drag the fish-men corpses away, lest they frighten the returning fish-men.

The villagers watched these brutal pirates with trepidation, but remembering that they were Nami's companions, they steeled themselves to help move the bodies and carry water to scrub the ground.

Before long, the seawater at the harbor had turned red!

"How many are left?"

Daddy asked Nami as she ran over, his tone showing that he hadn't taken these fish-men to heart at all.

"There are still 39 fish-men who haven't appeared!"

Nami's eyes were red; even though she had just been crying intensely for a long time, she had quickly counted the fish-men corpses. She hated these fish-men to the very marrow of her bones.

She remembered every single one of them clearly!

"Zoro, pull this sea beast up and tie its snout! From now on, it's going to be our ship-towing sea beast!"

Daddy looked at the knocked-out Cow Sea Beast and shouted to Zoro, since Daddy was currently a landlubber who couldn't enter the water and was unable to drag it from the sea back to the shore!
