Arceus' Pirate Journey

It rarely fights in an open and honest manner. Sneak attacks and poisoning are the fighting methods of the bad frog. The middle finger of its three fingers is longer and the same color as the poison sac on its cheek.

This is their poison needle. During a fight, they will secretly inject toxins into the enemy. They will also inflate their poison sacs and make strange sounds like "gudu-gudu" to intimidate their opponents.

All of this is their means of survival, including being cute.

Pokémon have different personalities. Some don't like to live with humans, while others prefer to survive with the help of humans. Frog is one of such types.

If they just make a few calls or crack some bricks, there will be humans willing to "offer" them food and shelter. So why should they struggle for themselves? In this respect, they have the same thinking as Den Den Mushi.

The difference is that the bad frogs are very powerful, and if you underestimate them, you will feel threatened by these cute creatures.

For example, pandas are not weak cats, but bears. They can chew bamboo with a silly look on their faces, but they can also slap people to wake them up, showing what a flexible fat man is. Their speed when running in the mountains is contradictory to their appearance.

"Do you want to continue?"

As if thinking that the bad frog had not had enough fun, Kuzan waved his hand and a pile of ice bricks appeared on the ground. The Eskimos would probably welcome Kuzan very much. With this ability, they would no longer need to make ice bricks on the spot to build an igloo.

But the bad frogs were different. Four or five of them stood in a row in a squatting position, with the poison sacs on both sides of their cheeks constantly bulging. They looked at Kuzan with eyes that showed concern for a fool.

"Quacka? (Why is someone giving me ice?)"

"Guaqia. (I don't know, maybe he likes eating ice cubes)"

Kuzan’s bond was not strong enough to understand what Bad Frog was saying, otherwise he would have known that he had misunderstood something.

Brick cracking is a personal hobby of the bad frog community, but there is a reason for this hobby.

At first it was just exercise, but later they found that this behavior would attract the admiring gazes of bad boys and they would offer "tributes" to them. After that, brick cracking was not just exercise, but a street performance.

In terms of strength, let alone stamina, even its wrist strength is stronger than that of the Bad Frogs, but the Bad Frog successfully won the victory with its unique appearance.

Besides, those super-strong families are either sweating in the gym or working hard on the construction site, but only Bad Frog chose this way, which proves the name "Bad".

If the camel was here, Kuzan would not have such a misunderstanding. It was just that the camel was having fun in the rain at this moment. Born in the northern waters, it had never seen rain, only blizzards. For this penguin, rain was a brand new experience.

It also looked around deliberately, making sure that no one could see what it was doing, before it began to relax.

......

Kuzan's silence was soon broken by others. The rain above his head suddenly disappeared, and a flower umbrella was raised above his head.

"Uncle, you don't hold an umbrella when it rains. Be careful of getting rheumatism when you get old."

A little girl who looked about eleven or twelve years old held up a flower umbrella in her hand and extended it to Kuzan's head. The height of more than three meters was still too high. Even though Kuzan was half squatting on the ground, it was still a challenge for the little girl.

"Don't worry, I'm in good health. This little rain won't affect me."

"My grandmother was like this when she was young, and now she regrets it."

Weather forecasts may be deceiving, but old injuries will not. For those who have been injured when they were young, every cloudy and rainy day will be a challenge when they are old and frail.

But the body will also truthfully report changes in the weather, and many elders will use their own experiences as lessons to warn the next generation.

"Oh, thank you for your concern, I will pay more attention next time.

But you, why are you out here alone in this weather? It's not good to be near the river on a rainy day."

"My grandma's waist is not feeling well, so I'm here to find her some medicine. You must be new here, right? Bad Frogs don't eat ice cubes, so it's useless to bring this stuff with you. Hold my umbrella for me."

As he spoke, he took out a food box with a few rice balls with dried fish and an empty bottle in it, and handed it to the Bad Frog.

The Bad Frog was also familiar with this kind of transaction. After taking the food, it secreted a drop of venom into the bottle and then filled it with water.

In large enough quantities, the venom can paralyze the body, but in the right dose it can be a good medicine.

The venom secreted from its fingertips can be made into medicine after dilution, and is an excellent medicinal material for relieving low back pain.

The bad frog will dilute it with special water, which will make the dilution process irreversible. Even if someone wants to purify it, they cannot get the toxin back and can only get a cup of waste water, which prevents someone from using this venom to cause trouble.

The water they spit out is the most suitable thing for preparing medicines. This is partly why they appear. Special medicines also appear on the sales platform of Baishou Fruit and are well received.

Whether it is a decoction or a plaster, it can work wonders and has become an effective folk remedy in China for treating chronic ailments such as low back pain.

The Holy Mountain is indeed a better way, but unless the injury is irreversible by conventional means, or it is just a minor ailment like a headache or fever, no one would climb the Holy Mountain. Climbing there is quite a difficult task.

After getting the medicine, the girl held the bottle under her body, turned around and ran in the direction she came from.

"Hey, your umbrella!"

"This is for you. My home is very close to here. The newlyweds should not continue to get wet in the rain."

Before she could take two steps, Kuzan came directly in front of her and put the flower umbrella back in her hand, and he also had an umbrella made of ice in his hand.

"I appreciate your kindness, but I have an umbrella."

"Witches are really weird. You can make an umbrella but you still get caught in the rain!"

"You are the same, what ordinary girl would give an umbrella to a stranger as soon as they meet?"

"That's what grandma said. Life is hard to come by now, so she has to take care of you newcomers."

She thought Kuzan was a newcomer to the Beasts, and no one here knew what an admiral was.

Her judgment was correct, but Kuzan himself was very special.

There are basically no outsiders in Wano Country. Over the past few years, only one or two ships can accidentally arrive here. After the beasts occupied this place, they are almost extinct.

People who dress very specially are basically beasts. They see the changes in life, and even if they can't do anything big, they will do small things within their ability.

This is not comprehensive. After all, no matter what group it is, there will be elites and scum in it.

There are also smart and capable elites among the Celestial Dragons, and there are also arrogant parasites in the Revolutionary Army and the Navy, but it is undeniable that the education of the previous generation has a crucial impact on the next generation.

"Okay, go home quickly. You don't need to worry about adults' affairs."

"Don't look down on me. I'm already planning to work at the Pokémon Center in the future. Maybe when you get hurt in the future, I'll be the one treating you."

"If possible, I don't want to get hurt."

Kuzan also had a leather boot on his injured leg. If he didn't take it off on his own initiative, outsiders wouldn't be able to tell that he was missing a leg.

Watching the girl leave and turn into an alley, Kuzan also planned to leave here. The rain was getting heavier and there were not many people on the road.

But when he turned back, he noticed something unusual...

Chapter 1144 Original Intention

The sound of the dripping rain did not stop, and the croaking of bad frogs could be heard intermittently from the depression.

Rainwater gathers into water droplets on the leaves, which press down the branches and leaves under the influence of gravity, and finally gather into trickles on the ground and flow to lower places.

The flow of people on the streets became sparse, and everything seemed so natural. What came into view was still the Wano Country, but such a country would still breed scum.

"The footsteps sound wrong..."

Even the admirals at the bottom of the list can be described as monsters. Their own strength has long exceeded the limits of human beings. This limit is not only reflected in strength and speed, but also in the five senses.

Kuzan's vision and hearing are more sensitive than normal people. Anyone who practices Observation Haki will have his five senses become more sensitive. After all, Observation Haki itself is an outward extension of the eyes and ears.

Even if a person is blind, as long as he is proficient in the use of Observation Haki, he can move freely like an ordinary person. The only difference is that he cannot see people's faces. Everything in the world is just a black man's trick to him.

There is a wall between the alley and here, so the specific situation there cannot be seen with the naked eye, but this is only for ordinary people.

For Kuzan, even if he didn't move, he could still sense what was happening there.

Kuzan cannot combine his observation Haki and fruit ability like Enel can, so as to expand the perception range of his observation Haki to the entire island.

This combination of talent and fruit is difficult to replicate, but it is no problem to sense an alley dozens of meters away.

The little girl's footsteps changed from steady to hurried, and finally disappeared, replaced by a heavier footstep.

A gust of north wind blew, and a few tiny ice spikes fell into the accumulated water and quickly melted under the rain.

Kuzan's figure had disappeared as soon as he noticed the abnormality, and the broken ice flowers on the ground were the only object that could prove Kuzan's existence.

......

At this moment in the alley, the familiar flower umbrella fell to the side, and the girl was pressed down on the muddy ground.

At this moment, a drunk man was pressing on her, with his big hand on her mouth, preventing her from calling for help.

Judging from the traces around her, she tried to escape when in danger, but failed.

It was too difficult for him to compete with an adult in physical strength, and he was eventually blocked in the alley by him.

The man did not plan this for a long time. He just acted on impulse after drinking. When there was no one around, he found the girl who was taking a shortcut home.

The road was slippery due to rain, and he accidentally fell to the ground. The girl wanted to help him up out of kindness, but he ended up having bad intentions.

There are many monitoring facilities in Hezhi, but most of these facilities are external. Apart from that, they are also used to ensure the safety of Quinn's experimental sites. This is a warning to ordinary citizens, but it cannot prevent illegal behavior.

If surveillance alone could solve this problem, there would be no tragedies in the world.

But just as he was about to do something else with a lewd smile on his face, he lost control of his body.

"I advise you not to move. If it breaks, you'll be finished."

Kuzan had appeared behind him, his hand on his shoulder, and most of the man's body was frozen into ice by Kuzan.

Fear arose in his heart, and he suddenly woke up. He knew that what he was doing was wrong, but his mind was still occupied by desire.

"I...."

Card...

The ice layer spread, and Kuzan didn't listen to his nonsense. He just activated his ability further and froze him completely. If he froze him directly, it might affect the girl below.

"Is everything okay?"

"It's okay. Grandma is right. Good deeds will be rewarded."

The girl's voice was slightly trembling, and there was a hint of relief in it.

She thought Kuzan was strange so she wanted to give him the umbrella. This one encounter triggered all the subsequent events. The process was thrilling, but judging from the result, this unintentional act allowed her to receive more help from Kuzan.

"Be careful when you go out next time. It's better to be more cautious of strangers. It's best not to take this kind of path."

Seeing that the girl's mental state didn't seem to be too bad, Kuzan felt a little relieved, but he still gave her a few instructions.

To be fair, he didn't want to say that. The girl had the beautiful side of human nature, and the idea of ​​selflessly aiding and helping others could make society a better place.

But he had to admit that human hearts were unpredictable. Even in the country of Wano, there were still scums like this man.

There is a stable living environment here, countless directions for efforts and opportunities, but this person still chose this most despicable behavior.

There are very few people like this in Wano Country, but they can spoil a good pot of soup. No one dares to bet whether their good deeds will bring about similar troubles. Once such a thing happens to one's own family, it would be a nightmare.

In order to protect yourself, putting away your kindness is the only way.

The conscience of society is being worn away bit by bit by people like this.

"Let me take you home. I'm very powerful. I'm not afraid of hundreds of guys like this."

The girl looked fine, but Kuzan had noticed that her legs were shaking slightly, and she was just trying to stay calm.

He didn't know what the girl had been through, but he didn't mind helping her.

A pony made of ice appeared out of thin air in Kuzan's hand, and the vivid pony distracted the girl from her fear.

......

The girl was right, her home was indeed not far from here, and Kuzan quickly sent her back, and met the old woman who was waiting for her at the door.

"Where are the child's parents?"

“At work, they want to buy a new house in the Flower Capital, so they have been working overtime, and the child has been left to me, an old woman, to take care of.

Thank you very much this time, Lord Ming Wang's subordinate."

"Ming Wang..."

Kuzan didn't bother with this title. He had already settled in Wano Country, so it was reasonable for him to be mistaken for Kaido's subordinate.

After sending the girl back, Kuzan explained what had happened before. Then her grandmother tried her best to persuade Kuzan to come in and sit with her, and this scene took place.

At this time, the girl was changing clothes in the house, and the old woman was entertaining Kuzan and talking to him about some ordinary family matters and the changes in Wano Country in the past.

From such an ordinary population, Kuzan learned more about the rapid changes in Wano Country over the past 20 years.

"Let them take care of the children a little more. This kind of thing is still too dangerous."

"It's actually very rare. I haven't heard of anything like this for years. Life is already so good, why are there still such unsatisfied people..."

"Mother-in-law, this is not a question of being ungrateful. I can only say... this is the human heart."

Kuzan didn't know what to say, he just got up and left. There were many people in this world, and even more people who needed help. It was impossible for him to establish close connections with everyone. Most of them were just chance acquaintances.
