APJ CHAPTER 187 MOUNTAIN GOD OF WANO COUNTRY

The ability to drift with the wind is a trait of Jumpluff and Whimsicott. When the wind is too strong, they themselves do not know where they will be blown away. However, due to the unique terrain of Wano Country, there exists a special cyclone in the outside world.

That cyclone is one of the reasons for the dangerous environment in the waters surrounding Wano Country.

But now, it also brings a benefit. The wind generated by that cyclone keeps Jumpluff and Whimsicott within Wano Country, preventing them from being blown to other sea areas by a gust of wind.

Millennial Dragons were originally prepared for the air cavalry, but currently, the Beasts Pirates have no need for the air cavalry to engage in battles. So this troop has taken on the herding work.

The gusts created by the flapping wings of the Millennial Dragon could perfectly control their movement.

Queen was currently manufacturing large blowers, which can allow ordinary people to do the special herding work.

These are the essential conditions for the growth of Jumpluff and Whimsicott. They are Grass-type Pokémon, and sunlight is an indispensable part of their growth.

Among them, Jumpluff has a longer cotton production cycle, unlike Whimsicott. Currently, there are many people helping Whimsicott with combing and haircut.

For Whimsicott, cotton is their hair, and it grows at an extremely fast pace, but it is not very firm.

If the wind is too strong, the cotton on their heads will be torn away by the wind.

If it encounters rainy weather, the cotton on their heads, after absorbing water and becoming heavy, will directly press them to the ground, rendering them unable to move, ultimately leaving them at the mercy of fate.

Meanwhile, on sunny days, after being exposed to sunlight, the cotton on their bodies expands. If it expands too much, it will tear the cotton apart and scatter it all around.

So the people below have the task of removing the cotton before it expands to a certain extent.

The scene of them working is quite cheerful because Whimsicott is a Pokémon that enjoys playing pranks. Even when they are being combed, they don’t forget about this and often throw cotton balls at others’ faces.

In the sky, Whimsicott and Jumpluff were flying around, while on the ground, in another area, there was another species—-Eldegoss.

It looks like an ordinary blade of grass, with a large amount of cotton growing on top. However, they won’t be blown away by the slightest gust of wind.

Eldegoss, Whimsicott, and Jumpluff produce three different types of cotton, which have significant differences in softness and toughness.

After mixing and weaving, one can obtain the most perfect and comfortable fabric. By adjusting the ratios, different products can also be produced. Currently, those Eldegoss were sowing seeds, as their fluffy cotton tops contain a large number of seeds.

These seeds are rich in nutrients and can be processed into special food, which is said to have a strengthening effect on both humans and Pokémon.

Some seeds were also being dried and processed into dried fruits, which can be sold together with Berries.

However, most of them are sown in the Kibi region’s land. These seeds can provide nutrients to the earth, making the grass and trees more vibrant, effectively improving the environment of the Kibi region.

Farming was originally a laborious task, especially in land like Kibi, where women were not suitable for such work.

However, the unique characteristics of Jumpluff and Eldegoss made it unnecessary for them to cultivate the land. They just need to walk around with Eldegoss.

Among them, you can also see the figures of children, but they were mostly playing with these magical creatures, ending up covered in seeds as well.

Millennial Dragons hovered in the sky, trying to control the force of the wind as much as possible. However, there were still a few Whimsicott that drifted out of their range, so people had to be sent to retrieve them.

Beasts Pirates’ air cavalry operates in units with the Millennial Dragon as the center. Each Millennial Dragon carries four individuals on its back, forming a team, and two teams are responsible for bringing back scattered Whimsicott from the outside.

However, now it seems that there has been a slight unexpected event. A Millennial Dragon was flying rapidly towards this place.

“Big sis Olga, something has happened! A giant boar has emerged from the desolate mountains near Kuri, and it’s heading straight towards us at full speed!”

“A boar?”

“Yes, a huge wild boar! Rockets and attacks from the Millennial Dragon have no effect on it.” Most members of the air cavalry were involved in the treasure hunt at that time, so they know about the real identity of the Millennial Dragon.

However, no one spread this information. To the outside world, they are just peculiar birds called the Millennial Dragon.

As for why they are called dragons, it’s a personal preference. Who has the right to question it?

Olga followed his finger’s direction and saw a gigantic white boar charging towards them. The massive dust cloud it kicked up attracted the attention of the Wano Country residents below, who were busy combing Whimsicott’s hair.

“It’s the Mountain God! Why is the Mountain God angry again?!”

The enormous species native to Wano Country had fangs extending nearly two meters even when visible at the corners of its mouth. Since the leader of the Millennial Dragons was not present here, among the remaining Millennial Dragons, the largest one was much smaller than the boar in terms of size.

Its height of over ten meters made it even taller than an average Giant.

Due to its immense size and rare white fur, this wild boar is revered as the Mountain God within Wano Country. Many years ago, it went on a rampage, destroying half of the towns and devouring numerous people.

Only when Kozuki Oden sliced it in half could the people trapped inside its belly be rescued. But due to Oden’s sword being too swift, and the boar’s vitality being too tenacious, it came back to life after being stitched back together.

No need to say anything further, the people below had already started running away. However, on this barren land with nowhere to escape, they had nowhere to go.

“Big Sis, what should we do?”

“What should we do? We must stop it, of course! The things here have just been restored not long ago, we can’t let it be destroyed. You guys take Jumpluff and Whimsicott away! The rest of you, distract it. Don’t be afraid, that guy can’t fly!”

Below was the newly restored cotton ranch and the living quarters for Whimsicott and other Pokémons. If that wild boar rushed in, it would become troublesome and all the efforts made in recent times would go to waste.

Moreover, the residents below would likely suffer heavy losses. The threat posed by the boar to humans ranked the highest among various beasts.

Beasts Pirates’ Air Cavalry began their first combat mission. However, the boar’s thick skin and strong flesh were impervious to the bombardment from above, instead it fueled its ferocity.

Olga attempted to create an illusion of a city wall to deceive it, but the rampaging Mountain God boar showed no intention of stopping.

“Why is this thing going berserk?”

“It seems to be searching for its offspring,” The one who replied was the Millennial Dragon that Olga was riding. It was the son of the Millennial Dragon’s leader, and the reason it could speak was because it consumed the Cavemen Fruit not long ago.
