Arceus's Pirate Journey

Chapter 1151: Middlemen trying to make a profit, the changing food chain

"roar?"

Howler Whale looked at Nami in front of him suspiciously, as if he thought she was a big liar, and Pokémon was not easy to fool, so Nami's behavior at this time was tantamount to trying to get away with nothing.

It didn't see anything. It didn't intend to stay in a place like this, but it didn't leave directly either.

Howler whales generally live in groups, and this howler whale acting alone is considered a maverick, so it made a gesture to Nami.

Considering the size of the roaring whale, this action is more like simply waving its fins, but as a senior money fan, Nami understood the meaning of the roaring whale.

"You mean these aren't enough?"

The roaring whale nodded, and then began to put forward more conditions.

【Independent water park】

【Double food】

【Massage Service】

There's a long list of things the Roaring Whale lists.

"You're really rude. Let's just call you a greedy ghost. Wait, can I understand what you mean?"

Nami suddenly realized that she understood the key words in the roaring whale's words.

The language of Pokémon is universal. Nami can communicate with the two Heracross, and she can also make a general guess when facing this strange Roaring Whale.

Although it is not as clear as Heracross and many things are vague, a few nouns are enough.

But when Nami discovered this problem, many things seemed strange. Whales and unicorns, these two species had no connection whatsoever.

But the facts told her that there must be some mysterious connection between the two species, as to what exactly it was.

That is not what she wants to study. There are too many mysterious things in the sea, and it is something that she cannot do in her entire life to understand everything clearly.

For her now, it is enough to explore the changes in the weather.

"Hey! What are you guys doing! Pulling your beard is of no use, go catch empty fish!"

After reaching a series of treaties with the Howling Whale, Nami showed a change of attitude the moment she turned around. She agreed to the conditions proposed by the Howling Whale without even thinking about it. Anyway, it was Savilia's who finally implemented them.

Meteorologist.

If they want to study the mysterious weather causes, these scholars can only compromise. The roaring whale is the only customer and they have to be coaxed to come.

But the group of old men behind her are different. This is a labor force that can be exploited. For a money fan, Nami is very good at negotiating terms and knows how to extract the maximum benefit.

She has experience communicating with Heracross and can be a translator with two swords, but these meteorologists are different. In a short time, she has become an irreplaceable middleman.

"ah?"

"Ah, what? I have already made an agreement with it. Food and accommodation will be provided. It will cooperate with you to study the weather. Go and build that place into a reservoir! Aren't there a lot of tools on the island?

You guys go catch fish, you prepare the site, and by the way, you also need to give it all the funds you earned from changing the weather recently, and I will take care of it temporarily."

"Wait a minute, funding? Is this what the whale means?"

Their interest in meteorology made these scholars act without hesitation. They were not useless people who could not carry a basket. They relied on themselves to maintain their daily necessities. It was not difficult to catch fish and repair their houses.

It's just that their minds haven't hung up. It's okay for a whale to ask for food and shelter, and it's very reasonable, but what's the use of a whale asking for money?

There is the Ryugu Kingdom under the sea, but no matter what, a whale wouldn't have to spend money to get his own things. This is obviously Nami's trap.

"Hey, have you been discovered? Forget it, get the other things ready!"

With a wave of her hand, Nami immediately changed the story of what had just happened, showing a character as changeable as the weather in Visalia, and refreshing scholars' understanding of how quickly she could change her face.

In fact, these scholars only guessed half of it right. At that moment, Nami did have the idea of ​​​​taking the opportunity to grab some money, but these roaring whales really had the opportunity to spend money.

In the country of Wano, the situation there is quite special, and it is not uncommon for Pokémon to hire humans with money.

Those Pokémon who work are already paid, and they will also buy what they want. If there is no money, simple material exchange is not uncommon in Wano Country.

After Tian Lengmei exchanged bath water for milk in the big milk jug, Frost Milk Fairy exchanged butter with Queen Bee for honey, Commander Zhan went to buy a whetstone, and the Great Blacksmith purchased it in the metal store. Similar situations happened from time to time.

occur.

It's just that the outside world won't understand this kind of thing in a short period of time.

In the Boeing Islands, the fat on Usopp's body has evolved into muscles after long-term exercise.

Usopp still has the body shape of an ordinary person, but his muscle lines have made him much stronger.

When he first came to the Boeing Islands, he could not defeat any creature on the island, whether it was giant insects or carnivorous plants, they could completely destroy him.

After this period of training, and under the guidance of Hercules, he also gained the ability to resist.

The seeds of various strange plants became his new ammunition, and he had a brand new slingshot as a weapon.

The island's ecology has also changed unconsciously.

The island itself is alive.

The Boeing Islands appear to be an archipelago, but are actually several carnivorous plants named Stomacbaron floating in the sea.

Stormak Baron, commonly known as the Baron of the Stomach, uses special foods on the island to trap sea beasts and sea kings.

In the center of the island is the mouth of the Stomach Baron. As long as the petals are closed, it can prey on all the creatures on the island, and then use these nutrients to generate new bait to start trapping more prey.

A unique ecological environment has long been formed here, and some insects have also settled here by virtue of their own abilities. They can avoid being hunted by the Stomach Baron every time by using flying and other methods.

In previous years, Stormak Baron was the undisputed top creature in the food chain, but now, the master of this island has changed.

Originally, some Heracross were attracted here, but they just integrated into the life here. With the increase in the number of insect-type Pokémon, everything changed.

Heracross, who lived here, formed an alliance with those who came later to hunt swallowtail butterflies and poisonous pink moths. The poisonous pink moths used their toxins to paralyze part of the Stomach Baron's body so that this part would not close.

Hunting swallowtail butterflies eliminated some predators that flew faster and threatened their young. Heracross also cleared a dangerous jungle and created their permanent stronghold.

At the edge of their territory, Heracles came here with a large bag of food from other areas. After a period of communication, Heracross, who was guarding the entrance, also moved out of the way.

"My dear student Usopp, you have learned enough about the plants on the island, and your body is no longer as weak as before. So today, you will start your graduation examination, um.

I have already discussed it with them. Your goal next is to successfully survive their attack."

Food is still a hard currency in the Pokémon world, so this is the training partner Hercules paid for Usopp.

Looking at a group of gorgeous hunting swallowtail butterflies, Usopp had not yet realized what was waiting for him.
