Environmental Guardian - Alolan Muk

At night, a large amount of highly toxic waste was discharged from a drainage outlet at a factory in Udon, flowing into the nearby river. However, this section of the river had been transformed and dried up, so the waste did not directly flow into the main river.

As the waste was discharged, strange creatures crawled out from the corners of the factory. The toxic waste was a delicious food source for them, and they drank it all up quickly, resulting in crystalline shards to form on their bodies.

Muk - Alola Form.

The regular Grimer is a strange creature made up of sludge, with its liquid insides emanating a foul stench that disgusts most people. Only a few can smell a sweet aroma from them.

While this particular type of Muk may not be suitable for this location, Alolan Muk were different.

Firstly, Alolan Muk were not just pure Poison type, but a combination of Poison and Dark type. With Dread Plate, Arceus can give them new abilities that could transform the waste discharged by the factory into sludge.

Thus, Alolan Muk were born, and their purpose was to process the toxic waste discharged by the weapons factory.

Because Muk from the Alola region could produce and store poison inside their bodies, they were different from other region's Grimer and Muk. Even if they were close, people would not smell the disgusting odor.

The body of an Alolan Muk also had some crystalline shards, which were the crystallization of the poison inside their bodies. Any normal person touching them would get poisoned.

These toxic crystals can also easily fall off, so Queen sends people to collect them regularly. They are a natural source of toxins, and only powerful antidots made from Berries are effective against them. These toxic crystals had even become a new strategic resource.

However, there was no need to worry about accidental poisoning, as the temperament of Alolan Muk is mild. They would not actively attack people, and as the factory frequently discharged waste, their food supply was plentiful. Therefore, most of the time, they did not move and just stayed in the cracks near the factory.

From afar, they looked like a collection of strangely colored floor boards.

Initially, their colors were not so colorful, but with the consumption of large amounts of waste, the colors of Alolan Muk changed from a single purple to a colorful one, with extremely bright body colors.

This is because the toxic waste they consume undergoes chemical reactions within their bodies. These Alolan Muk are also capable of serving as guards for factories, preventing intruders from causing destruction, making it a win-win solution.

However, this also led to Kurozumi Orochi's happiness lasting only a few days as the toxic waste inexplicably disappeared.

No one explained to him what Alolan Muk were, and he didn't even know that the disappearance of the waste was due to Muk.

Before this, he had never built a factory, so he treated all of this as a natural phenomenon.

This was also the reason for Uzuki Tempura's contemplation; he also didn't understand what Orochi was doing.

There are many refugees in Wano Country without a fixed livelihood, many of whom are small-time hoodlums. But now, these people have been captured by the Beasts Pirates and forced to work everyday in the factories under their supervision, undergoing reform through labor.

Due to the actions of the Beasts Pirates, the public security in Udon surprisingly improved.

Orochi couldn't understand it either. He could understand why the Beasts Pirates would raise cattle in the fields, but why did they forcefully capture workers and build factories, and do things according to his plan? Yet other people in Wano Country still feel that their lives have improved?

At the same time, they also rented Tauros to ordinary residents. One Tauros could do the work of ten ordinary oxen in a day. Everything seemed beautiful, but few people were willing to rent Tauros. In their view, Tauros with three tails was one of the "monsters."

It would take a lot of time to change this perception.

Meanwhile, there was opposition from Kuri.

It was led by Oden's retainers. After careful analysis, they believed they had come up with the correct answer. Kurozumi Orochi was trying to win over the people and undermine the Kozuki family's rule through this method.

And Kaido is the accomplice they found from the outside. For the sake of the Kozuki family, everyone should resist Kurozumi Orochi and Kaido. Under their lead, many people were unwilling to work in the Beasts Pirates' territory and would secretly destroy their crops.

As a result, the Beasts Pirates showed their strength for the first time and had their first outbreak of conflict, which also relieved Kurozumi Orochi.

Most of the matters in Wano Country have been arranged, and the rest will be developed slowly. After dealing with a series of things, Arceus plans to go out again to search for plates, but he has changed his way of making decisions based on fate.

This time, he didn't throw stones, but had Chansey bring Yamato to him.

Although she was less than a year old, she can crawl very quickly now, and according to Chanseys' estimation, she will soon learn to walk.

"Come on little one, I'll let you choose the location for this search." A map entirely made of water appeared in front of Yamato out of nowhere, piquing Yamato's interest.

After she randomly poked around with her small hands, a nearby sea area lit up.

"Shayna, get the people ready and arrange the route. Let's go to this place this time."

"Lord Sacred Beast, Genesis Ship has always been on standby. We can set sail now." She was well aware that Arceus wouldn't stay here forever, so since arriving in Wano Country, she regularly arranged for the supplies on the Genesis ship to be replenished by the people.

The aim is to be able to set sail at any time when Arceus needs it.

"Shayna, you don't have to come with me this time. Stay here and keep an eye on things. Let Olga and Zeraora prepare instead." Wano Country is still in the developmental phase, and in some areas, the presence of the officers is necessary to maintain order.

Orochi's construction of factories did not go smoothly. If it weren't for Kaido's strength as a guarantee, he might not have been able to build so many factories in Udon. Moreover, Kaido also asked him to bring along the children when he goes out, to speed up their growth.

"I understand. I'll keep an eye on things here." Shayna really wanted to set out with Arceus, but since Arceus had given the order, she wouldn't argue.

Arceus doesn't need to worry about his own strength. His gradually restored power and Magnet Rise have solved the issue of flight. Furthermore, he was in no hurry, and the seas he passes through everytime are well within his search range. Therefore, he still prefers to travel by ship when he goes out.

However, what he didn't expect was that right before departing, Kaido actually threw Yamato onto the ship.

"What are you doing?"

"Let her experience the world earlier. Besides, isn't this the sea area that you let her choose for you? It would be a pity if she couldn't see the first choice of her life. By the way, where are you going this time?"

"Edd War Sea."
