Arceus's Pirate Journey

Chapter 867 Species Invasion and Biological Control in Wano Country

"Damn it, real men should fight head-on! Why are you playing with sand!"

Brisgula crawled out of the quicksand and felt a little frustrated. He was unable to fight with all his brute strength. This feeling of failure made him very unhappy.

"You young people are too grumpy. How can you waste your own abilities?"

Regardless of whether the defeat was aggrieved or not, a loss was a loss. The enemy would not choose a fair duel. Blissgra just complained a few words and then left here with Doppon.

But Blissgra planned to take a shower first, and the yellow sand all over his body made him very uncomfortable.

They had not yet reached the point where they could decide the winner in a matter of days and nights, and Doppon took advantage of the Hippomon's ability, which caused the battle between him and Blissgra to end faster.

The battle between those with artificial fruit abilities around them continued. While Meowna and Wolf were watching the fun, Yamato came to Arceus.

"Father, are these the only two benefactors this time?"

"There haven't been many tasks recently, so the number has been smaller. Is there something wrong?"

Listening to Yamato's plan, Arceus was doubtful for once. This was not more than ten years ago, and Meowna and Wolf were no longer three or four years old. They shouldn't be interested in this thing anyway.

Yamato did not delve into this matter. In her opinion, ants are not a big trouble. As insects, they are almost everywhere, and countless people have done various strange behaviors towards ant nests when they were children.

When an alien species invades here, the original natural regulating power will easily lose its effect.

Listening to Yamato's description, Arceus thought this was a biological invasion.

Houses in Wano have mostly wooden structures, and termites have always been a headache, but cleaning them shouldn't be that troublesome.

As fire-type Pokémon, their tongues can burn high-temperature flames. In the Unova area, they usually hunt iron ants. Those iron ants wrapped in metal shells have no way to deal with the Molten Ant Beast, let alone these ants.

.

"There's nothing else, I'm just asking. If there's nothing else, I'll go catch ants. It happens that the two little guys there are almost trained. Let's take them to have fun. Wolf's ability should be quite suitable for this.

It’s about something.”

At this time, a creature similar to an anteater emerged from the green onion field next to it. After a brief conversation, the green onion duck gave up its position and handed over the place to the anteater.

There are many islands in this world, and there are countless islands that are isolated from the world. Such islands will naturally develop their own ecological environment.

And catching ants requires the use of abilities. What kind of ant is this?

"Ah, don't you know, my adoptive father? It seems that some ants were brought in from the goods that were brought in from outside. Those ants will eat the houses, and people in Jiuli hate them."

The environment of Wano has been improved several times before, and one of them was the huge ocean currents in the outside world. Due to those ocean currents, the corals outside Wano grew rapidly, and the Good and Bad Star prevention and control project was finally launched.

A few days later, in the green onion field in Jiuli, several green onion ducks were smashing their green onions on the ground. This was an ant nest. Those ants not only caused damage to the structure of the house, but also harmed part of the agriculture.

"No, but foster father, father won't be back for a while, right?"

The appearance of the Molten Anteater is very similar to that of the Anteater, except that it has orange-red patterns and a tube-like part on its abdomen connected to its tail.

The green onion of Green Onion Duck is one of the victims.

There are no similar sea currents in Wano, but as the place where Arceus stays most often, and coupled with the influence of the spread of power on Fujian Mountain, the environment here is suitable for almost any living creature to survive, let alone insects with extremely strong adaptability.

This kind of ants live on islands with a lot of metal minerals. During their long evolution, their bodies have been similarly affected. They also have special acids in their bodies that can corrode metals.

"No, forget it, you go take them two to play, I will arrange someone to deal with this matter."

Their green onions often need to be replaced, and the green onion fields here are another lifeline for them. Faced with these ants that harm the green onions, they are merciless, waving the green onions to kill the ants below.

After a simple investigation, the origin of these ants has been clarified. When the beasts were transporting fragile materials outside, the straw and soil used as filler were mixed with ants from the outer islands.

"Father, do you also want to catch ants?"

Alien species have no natural enemies and reproduce wantonly in a comfortable environment, ultimately destroying the original ecological level.

"They are bigger than them, and the shells of those ants are very hard, and the number has been increasing recently."

They have many natural enemies on that island, but in Wano Country, none of the creatures here are interested in these unpalatable ants.

"Wait, catch ants?"

Professional things require professional Pokémon. When it comes to dealing with ants, Molten Antmon is obviously much better than Green Onion Duck.

Originally, ants were also included in the scallion duck's diet, but the taste of these ants was very bad. It felt like eating rust to the scallion duck and was impossible to swallow.

"Who knows? You also know that it is normal for Kaido to disappear every day. Maybe he will find someone to fight with. What do you want to do?"

Although those ants are more troublesome than the local ants, they are not the kind of army ants. Arceus would not have noticed such a thing if Yamato hadn't mentioned it.

The people in Wano didn't take this matter seriously, no one reported it at all, and the people below didn't care about a few ordinary ants.

That is not an ordinary Anteater, but a member of the same Pokémon - Anteater.

In order to prevent them from overflowing in Wano, Arceus created some Molten Ant Beasts.

The dinosaurs on the Ancient Island and the giant beasts on the Beast Island are all creatures left behind by natural selection.

Arceus just wants to prevent these things from becoming a real disaster and plans to control them.

"Termites? Weren't there these before in Wano Country?"

The pores in the tail suck in air, and the temperature of the flame on the tongue increases accordingly. The real tongue of fire penetrates deep into the ant nest, and a large number of ants are scorched and turned into their food.

The tastes of different Pokémon are completely different. Food that is difficult to swallow for Scallion Duck is delicious for Molten Ant.

The sharp claws dug up the soil outside the ant nest. The molten ant beast enjoyed its own delicious food and left here after a while to find the location of the next ant nest.

These ants themselves are not very strong creatures. After having natural enemies, they were quickly contained to a population range that would not affect the environment.
