Wakaba's Front ** Brake
Chaos reigned in the center of the lake. Macao, riding a skateboard called "Wakaba," weaved through the crowd, dodging attacks from all directions.
"Wakaba, Reedus is blocking the way!"
"Roger that! Hold on tight, Macao, watch me pull off a sudden stop and side overtake in the water!"
Wakaba, who was originally half underwater, straightened his back and tilted his head slightly above the water, his strange posture resembling that of a seal, which allowed him to instantly float steadily on the lake surface from a swimming state.
Macao, standing atop Wakaba's body, brightened up and patted Wakaba on the back of the head. "Good job, Wakaba! Now we can get around Reedus and escape."
Hughes, watching from the sidelines, turned bright red with embarrassment. Wasn't Macao's action treating Wakaba like a dog?
Wakaba, emerging from the water, wore an arrogant expression, seemingly oblivious to the obstruction from the front and back. "Little Reedus, how laughable!"
It's time to make him understand the difference in their abilities.
"Slap! Slap!"
Centered on Wakaba and Macao, ripples spread across the lake's surface. Wakaba, with its undulating body, twists and turns, moving swiftly through the water as it pupates.
Standing on Wakaba's back, being bounced up and down, Macao felt a little uneasy.
Wakaba's pose and movements looked strangely familiar to Macao, but the venue wasn't here, and the water was different...
"Wakaba, your back will break!"
"Broken? I'm a powerful being who can father daughters!"
Macao, whose son was born not long ago:... Was that bastard just showing off?
Damn it... When will male chauvinism finally stand up?!
"Stand still, Macao! Reedus's blocking the way again. It's time to unleash my true power!"
Wakaba:(◣_◢)
Full power!!
Wakaba was originally just moving forward like a pupa, stopped and started again, its body constantly twisting and turning, accelerating intermittently, and soon left Reedus behind.
"Wakaba, how did you manage to stop suddenly in the water?" Macao asked curiously as he gradually got used to the speed of the car.
Water is not like land; sudden stops are not easy, especially since the Wakaba's drive system is quite demanding.
"Why would you need that? Of course, the brake lever should be stiffer!"
"The brake lever is stiff?" Macao frowned in confusion, then his eyes widened in shock. "The legendary... the front brake! You actually know this trick?"
"That's it, that's it!!" Wakaba's lips curled into a smile, seemingly nonchalant.
"Godfather, I, Macao, have long admired this move. Could you please teach me a thing or two?"
"Sure, sure. What about the hot spring town tonight?"
Macao thumped his chest and said solemnly, "Add two more hours!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wakaba's pupa-like movements became more vigorous. Since the stingy Macao had been so sincere, it would seem cowardly for Wakaba not to show off.
"Macao, watch closely, this move is called 'point brake'!"
The "Wakaba" turned around, facing the surging crowd behind it, and with a sway of its hips, carried Macao into the pursuit circle.
Thanks to its robust braking system, Wakaba glided past pursuers like Reedus with incredible flair, using his arms as oars to splash water all over them.
"Haha, Macao, see that? That's the front brake."
Macao's eyes gleamed with envy; he knew he had to learn this trick, because once he mastered it, he wouldn't be afraid of any amount of water.
"I see!"
Hughes and Gildarts, standing outside the chaotic area, had their eyes gleaming as they instantly grasped the principle behind Wakaba's move!
The loner Laxus crossed his arms and glanced at the two men with obvious disdain.
If he weren't outmatched by those two, he would have immediately Dragon Slayer Secret Art Technique: Thunderclap on each of them.
It's shameful, a disgrace to the strong. What's so admirable about such despicable tactics?
"Laxus, you're still young and don't understand. You'll understand the true value of Wakaba when you grow up!" Hughes patted Laxus on the shoulder and sighed.
Gildarts nodded silently, especially since someone like him with 2, 4, 6... n girlfriends really needed Wakaba's tough skills.
"Damn it, Hughes, you're only a year older than me, don't lecture me like that!"
Hughes shrugged. A year? A year is a terrible time span, okay!
Some people can experience the full spectrum of colors (pink, black, purple) in a year, while others remain illiterate even after a year.
At this moment, the guild members who had been mocked by Wakaba began to take things seriously. While Wakaba and Macao were not paying attention, Marcus, Warren, and others had already secretly dived into the water.
Hughes had intended to share the story of the chick and the eagle with Laxus, but upon seeing this, he shut his mouth and stared intently at the bottom of the lake ahead.
This is going to be interesting!!
"Nab, Reedus, you're trash! So many of you couldn't catch me, you're useless!"
"Exactly, a bunch of good-for-nothings!"
Macao and Wakaba strolled among the guild members, their mouths as sweet as honey, constantly spewing out swear words.
The grumpy Charmander jumped up and down in anger. "You bastard, Macao, you're the real glutton!"
"You good-for-nothing, you good-for-nothing, Natsu, you're such a good-for-nothing! Wakaba, go! Water the dragon, or it'll get so angry it'll burst into flames!"
"Hehe, Macao, you really are bad!" Wakaba's lips curled into an enigmatic smile as he approached Natsu, Gray, and the other children. With a flick of his legs, he unleashed a "Water Splash" move, teaching them a lesson in equality.
Seeing that these guilds would be powerless against them in the future, veteran guild members Macao and Wakaba were all smiles of smug satisfaction.
"Haha, Wakaba, when we combine our powers, we are invincible!"
"Get lost! I was the one putting in all the effort! You, Macao, are just a slacker!"
"Don't say that, add two more hours tonight!"
With Macao being so sensible, what could Wakaba possibly say?
He immediately continued to recklessly humiliate Nab and the others, finding it far more satisfying to bully his peers than to bully children.
"Gildarts, do you think Wakaba will cry like a baby later?"
Hughes pointed to the lakebed, where the young man Warren and the boy Marcus had already crept beneath Wakaba, each wielding a giant hammer...
A giant hammer striking a nail—whether the hammer will break or not, Hughes doesn't know; but the nail will certainly hurt, and the destructive power of a broken hammer on a male creature...
Gildarts and Laxus offered no comment, only clicking their tongues twice and slightly bowing their backs in respect of Wakaba.
The harsher Wakaba's mocking words were, the more merciless Warren's giant hammer was!
"In the water, without using magic, I am invincible, understand, you little trash!" Wakaba, like a crooked-mouthed dragon king returning, looked down on the crowd with contempt.
Underwater, two giant hammers are raised high, one in front of the other, with their hammerheads aimed at Wakaba's "braking system"!
Hughes closed his eyes in fear and covered his ears, but for some reason, a smile appeared on his lips.
Let us pray together for Wakaba!
"Bang! Bang!"
"Oh~~"
The high-pitched, sharp crowing of a rooster floated across the lake and echoed throughout the Magnolia Town.
The voice sounded hoarse, like a wail...
"Wakaba, Wakaba, don't leave me! I'll be scared!"
In response to Macao, Wakaba floated on the lake, his hands clutching his lower body, his body half-bent over, his eyes white.
And the terrifying groans of Reedus and the others.
