Deep blue skin, orange venom sacs on the cheeks, though with the appearance of a frog, a row of neat white teeth can be seen at its slightly open mouth.
Its body is wrapped with bandage-like patterns, and overall, its posture is somewhat comical.
Croagunk, a Poison + Fighting-type poisonous strike Pokemon.
Its peculiar call and slightly humorous appearance make them quite popular, especially among fourteen or fifteen-year-olds in today's Wano Kuni.
They have no interest in studying, only feeling stressed during classes. Every few days, they gather together to imagine making heroic achievements when they grow up, earning the name of delinquent teenagers.
Under normal circumstances, delinquents are a headache-inducing group, but in this world's broader context and Wano Kuni's current management style, delinquents have turned into a different sort of diversion.
In the past Wano Kuni, after the phase of adolescence ended, most delinquents would return to ordinary life, selling their physical strength to sustain their needs. Some who couldn't abide loneliness might become street hooligans, potentially dying in street fights at any time.
To become notorious, accepted by local gangs, is already considered a breakthrough.
As for now, these unstable gang elements have been utterly eliminated. Wano Kuni only needs a single voice.
Hyogoro has retired and started working to maintain public order, instead of elimination, it's more like taking down the disobedient ones while recruiting those willing to change.
With the source altered, the future naturally changes too. Hundred Beasts control external information, and wanting to sail the sea, joining Hundred Beasts is the only way, giving delinquents a new direction.
If you want to fight, and show off your might, you can, but you can only fight with those of equal strength or challenge stronger ones, such behavior is not prohibited.
Bullying the weak is explicitly forbidden. If you want to bully others, you'd better prepare to be bullied yourself. Not just the elite in their prime, even those retired injured ones toy with these punks like child's play.
Merely preaching to delinquents might not reach them, but fists and strength can lead these people, battles on The Sea have never ceased, and in this era, these delinquents have actually become a reserve military force.
Rules exist everywhere, unless you become the one who sets them, otherwise, it's just another set of binding rules.
The pattern of Croagunk is popular among the delinquent teenage group, the bandage-style is highly sought after by them, similarly, they occasionally imitate some behaviors of Croagunk.
"Quack-cha!"
A raised arm chopped down onto the bricks in front, no leveraging, no technique applied, the pile of bricks laid flat on the muddy ground shattered spontaneously.
Brick-breaking involves technique, cheating methods like fake bricks are excluded.
Put the brick on a harder surface, let one end of the brick contact the rigid ground while the other end is suspended. The longer the suspended part, the easier the brick splits.
If techniques are mastered, it's not difficult for a trained person to split ordinary bricks, but it's easy to pay a price, like a fractured hand bone.
If Kuzan came, he could easily grind those bricks into powder, but Wano Kuni's delinquent youth might not be able. Ultimately, few can train to a superhuman body, and hand bone injuries at the Pokemon Center aren't few.
Furthermore, Wano Kuni is currently rainy, the area where Croagunk resides is a muddy hollow, bricks laid flat absorb much of the strength upon being chopped, yet they can still simply break a pile of bricks.
Kuzan squatted nearby, watching these strange frogs while getting soaked in the rain,
Not long after, Croagunk stopped moving, not because they were tired, but because they ran out of bricks.
The houses in Wano Kuni are mostly wooden structures, with development, reinforced concrete is beginning to enter, but the proportion of bricks is still minimal, the island environment leading to suitable brick-making soil being scarce.
Pursuing suitable materials solely locally might even cause spatial problems for Wano Kuni, hence these bricks are transported from outside islands, not just to build houses, but partly as snacks for Rock-type Pokemon.
For them who feed on rocks and soil, bricks are merely baked cookies, though harder.
These bricks would first be crushed by Croagunk, then sent to Udon Mine to maximize usage.
Breaking bricks is also a special hobby of these Croagunks, aiming to arouse local residents' curiosity.
Though possessing Fighting attributes, Croagunks are different from Sirfetch'ds who advocate dueling, their temperament is more "despicable."
Rarely will they fight uprightly, ambushing and poisoning are Croagunk's fighting methods, with the middle of their three fingers being the longest and sharing the same color as the venom sacs on their cheeks.
This is their venom needle, secretly injecting toxin into the enemy during combat, while puffing up venom sacs to make eerie bubbling sounds to intimidate opponents.
All these are their survival means, including acting cute.
Pokemon have various temperaments, some dislike cohabiting with humans, while others thrive with human assistance, like Croagunk.
Calling casually and breaking bricks could invite humans to "offer" them, willingly providing food and lodging, then why strive alone, in this aspect, they share the same mindset with Radio Snails.
