# Interesting Situation
The Gallagher Family is highly efficient.
The day after the meeting concluded, five hundred excellent elite warriors were assembled.
They were important strength of the Gallagher Family, outstanding individuals who had conquered and plundered in the competition among gangs and other underworld forces.
Their departure would inevitably reduce the Gallagher Family's deterrence.
Yet, there were no complaints.
Everyone knew that the true Sea Calming Pillar of the Gallagher Family was Karl.
As long as Karl was fine, the Gallagher Family could continue to survive.
That's right, survival.
For truly powerful Factions, destroying the Gallagher Family would be a very easy matter.
Even without the Marines making a move, the Gallagher Family's current development faces significant obstacles.
Along the way, the Gallagher Family could be said to have offended almost the entire Underworld of the North Blue.
The high bounty from the Underworld had attracted countless predators to target them.
Killing a Gallagher Family Member could earn a considerable bounty.
Ultimately, the Gallagher Family was already afraid.
After Karl's departure, they needed to keep a low profile even more.
Moreover, Karl was the backbone of the Gallagher Family, and many members were willing to follow Karl, which was something they couldn't stop.
The Gallagher Family Members fulfilled all of Karl's requests.
The Gallagher Family itself belonged to Karl.
Talent from all walks of life with special skills: cooks, navigators, musicians, doctors.
It could be said that everything needed was basically fully equipped.
By the time of their official departure, this group had expanded to nearly eight hundred people.
Large ships flying the Gallagher Family's Wild Wolf Flag were docked at the Shore.
The news of Gallagher Karl, who had single-handedly fought his way across the North Blue and brought the Gallagher Family to such heights, leaving, was closely watched by various Factions.
This did not mean they could launch a counterattack against the Gallagher Family.
Because it also depended on Karl's growth.
The stronger Karl became in the future, the less likely anyone would be to move against the Gallagher Family.
The current Karl was already terrifying and extremely mysterious.
Furthermore, his reckless attitude, completely unafraid of offending others, earned him the name "Brute" in the North Blue.
Besides, the Gallagher Family had already been warned by the Marines.
They hadn't infringed upon the interests of other Factions too much, because most of what the Gallagher Family currently possessed came from Factions that had already been destroyed.
The vast North Blue could accommodate the Gallagher Family; everything comes down to strength.
If Gallagher Karl made a name for himself in the New World, the Gallagher Family's status would become even more stable.
Few Factions would be willing to provoke him; instead, more Factions would be willing to befriend the Gallagher Family.
The competitive environment of the Four Seas and the New World is completely on a different level.
Even the minions of the New World are like overlords when they come to the Four Seas.
As for what he would do next, it was clear that Karl had no specific ideas at the moment.
Making a name for himself and getting a foothold in the New World was his primary objective.
Although it's also part of the Grand Line, Karl simply looked down on the First Half of the Grand Line.
This place is called "Paradise" by New World Pirates.
Although it is as large as the New World, the competitive pressure is lower.
Development in the First Half of the Grand Line would certainly be faster.
But Karl didn't believe that developing in such an environment would allow him to compete with the Monsters of the New World.
Even if there were any, they would be losers defeated in cruel competition, directly driven out of the New World.
Deluding themselves into thinking they could regain momentum was practically impossible.
It was clear that there were quite a few such Pirates in the current First Half of the Grand Line.
With most Sea Areas in the New World divided up, it was difficult to effectively plunder and develop.
Avoiding being affected and hiding in the First Half of the Grand Line via Fish-Man Island was actually a relatively good choice.
Pirates are profit-seeking, so some Pirates would naturally leave the cruel New World to "develop" in Paradise.
So the current situation is very interesting: Pirates from the Four Seas are flocking to the First Half of the Grand Line.
The Marines are unable to deal with the large number of Pirates, resulting in an increasing number of Pirates in the First Half of the Grand Line.
Even if they open up the Sabaody Archipelago and let them head to the New World, this number is after all only a minority, and instead, more Pirates are being driven out of the New World.
In the New World, if you don't have strength, you don't even have the qualification to become affiliates of those Great Pirates.
Even if you can survive in the Territory of Top-Tier Pirate Crews like the Pluto Sea Area, you won't last long; expenses are a big problem.
Factions that can only occupy one or two Islands are everywhere in the New World.
The vast majority of Pirate Crews only have this level of ability.
Many Pirate Crews, for survival, would instead head to the safer "Paradise" to plunder wealth.
Due to their strong threat, they would then flee back to the New World when the Marines try to capture them.
This is equivalent to bringing the wealth from the First Half of the Grand Line to the New World.
This situation is actually very interesting.
A large Sea Area in the Former Half of the New World has become a beginner area for those who have killed their way from the Four Seas and "Paradise" all the way to the New World.
Because there are no overly powerful Pirates present.
This results in a large number of Pirates surviving in this Sea Area, competing with each other.
Of course, there are also old Pirates who target these rookie Pirates who have just entered the New World, plundering the wealth of these new Pirates.
As for the journey ahead, Karl had already planned it out.
He would head to the Southern North Blue and directly travel to the New World via the Kronos Kingdom's Island Turtle.
In recent years, he had arrived at the New World using this method and was already familiar with the route.
He had no interest in taking the path of those Four Seas Pirates, spending a lot of time and energy just to arrive at the New World.
Accidents could also happen along the way.
Karl already understood the New World well.
Once he arrived at the New World, he would carry out his next step.
As for his future ships, the Gallagher Family had already secured a booking on Puto Island in advance.
Once they arrived at the New World, they would be able to obtain their own exclusive warship at Puto Island, the "City of Shipbuilding".
Quite a few Pirates adopt a similar approach.
In the North Blue, some Pirates head to the New World this way, directly bypassing the First Half of the Grand Line and the huge obstacle of the Marines.
All they pay is a toll fee.
Before this, they would plunder enough wealth and then rebuild their Pirate Ship after arriving in the New World.
After all, truly top-tier shipbuilding materials and Shipwrights are basically all in the Grand Line.
A ship that has sailed the Four Seas for many years might not even last half a year in the harsh environment of the New World.
If they have bad luck, a natural disaster might directly destroy the Pirate Ship.
This has also increased Puto Island's business significantly.
Orders from around the world have not decreased over the past twenty years.
As Puto Island's reputation expanded, it became the first choice for many Kingdoms and Pirates to build ships.
Adding the ship repair business.
The overall profit increases every year.
With the Great Pirate Era beginning and the number of New World Pirates increasing, the demand for Pirate Ships will further increase.
This is a dividend of the era.
What's more, relying on their cooperation with the Kingdom of Elbaf Giants, they have almost monopolized most of Elbaf's Adam Wood materials.
Adam Wood flowing into the Underworld is very little.
Numerous Islands and Factions in the New World that supply precious shipbuilding materials have a strategic partnership with the shipbuilding company behind Puto Island and with the Kronos Kingdom.
It can be said that Puto Island has monopolized the shipbuilding industry in the New World.
Even if there were some competitive shipyards, over these twenty years, they had long ago gone bankrupt due to various reasons or were directly annexed.
In this World, the interests brought by the shipbuilding industry are far greater than imagined.
Being able to form a monopoly to some extent is equivalent to holding a Goose that Lays Golden Eggs.
