Chapter 742: Trade System Port Island
New North Starting Island.
As the name suggests, it is the starting point from the New World to the North Blue.
Due to the large number of Trade Port Islands connecting the Four Seas, this naming convention is used, making it simple and clear.
Upon arriving here, one can witness an incredibly spectacular sight.
The entire Island has been artificially leveled, offering an unobstructed view.
A large number of Stevedores work on the Island.
Manual labor, operators of mechanical cranes, and even Giant Tribe Members work on the Island.
On the Island, there are also conveyor belts spread out like a spider web.
A massive amount of supplies are transported from the Port to the Island Turtle via the conveyor belts, saving a significant amount of manpower.
At the Port, cargo ships constantly dock and unload goods.
It can be said that on this Island, very few people can rest; they need to work continuously.
Since the locations of the various Port Islands are not far apart and are connected to form a circle.
Not only is each Island guarded by a Military of three thousand led by an Army Vice Admiral.
In the center of the eight Port Islands, there is another Island where an Army Fortress is located.
Warships can be dispatched at any time to provide reinforcements to the various Islands.
And the Army General currently stationed at this Fortress is none other than "\"Fierce God\" Tartaros Barrett".
Currently, the Kronos Kingdom's development work in the North has been completed.
Slow infiltration outwards requires the Marines for expansion.
The primary mission of the Army, in fact, is protection.
Here, time is money.
The first thing upon arriving at a Port Island is registration, registering the quantity of goods, container numbers, and Container Placement Area.
Then there are dedicated people to provide direction.
The earlier one arrives at the Port Island, the earlier they can depart.
After all, the amount of goods an Island Turtle can carry has a limit.
Once it reaches saturation, the Island Turtle will depart.
The remaining batch of goods will have to wait for some time.
Although when one Island Turtle departs, another Island Turtle is usually returning from unloading goods at the Destination Island in the New World.
However, loading goods still takes time.
It takes about another half a month.
Upon arriving at New North Starting Island, the Black Emperor Pirates saw such a scene.
On this Island where most people are busy, those visiting for the first time feel somewhat at a loss.
Especially Teach's feelings are even deeper.
He worked at the Port on Paros Island for a long time, essentially learning while working.
In his eyes, the Port on Paros Island was already the largest Port in the world.
Although he hasn't been to many places either.
He had heard about it before, but he never expected the so-called Trade Port Island to be so large.
The entire Island itself is a Port.
After all, the Port Islands were only completed in the last four years, and the Kronos Kingdom's Trade System reached its peak because of this.
One Port Island can support nearly a hundred thousand people, or even more.
At the Port registration office, the Administrator was slightly surprised to see the arrival of the Black Emperor Pirates, his gaze falling on Teach.
However, there was no malice.
"Marshall D. Teach? I know you. What goods do you need to transport?"
"Our ship has sixty-four people," Lubock said, pointing to their "Mother Mary's Lament", already familiar with the process beforehand.
"Alright, here are the area locations and numbers." The Administrator wrote a note and handed it to Lubock.
Meanwhile, a staff member nearby was inputting the relevant information into a computer.
"Also, the ship fee for the ship, and the ticket fee for your sixty-four people."
This price is not cheap, totaling five million Beli.
However, for the Black Emperor Pirates, it is something they can manage.
The ticket fee for just one person costs thirty thousand Beli, which is not cheap but is worth the value.
Compared to the ship, the ticket fee for people is clearly more expensive.
There are also streets and taverns on the Port Island to meet the dining and accommodation needs of passing merchant ships and passengers.
The Black Emperor Pirates clearly cannot depart immediately and need to wait for about a week.
On the Island Turtle, a dedicated area is reserved for guests planning to travel to the North Blue.
It doesn't look large, but it can accommodate nearly fifty thousand people.
After all, besides the back of the Island Turtle, the Inside the Shell of the Island Turtle has also undergone some modification.
Although it is relatively simple and not luxurious, it is completely sufficient.
"Has no one ever thought about plundering the supplies here?"
The crewmates of the Black Emperor Pirates wandered around New North Starting Island, planning to find a place to rest for a few days while waiting for their departure time.
One crewmate asked somewhat confusedly.
A large amount of supplies from the New World is transported to this Island.
In his understanding, it is worth at least tens, even hundreds of millions of Beli.
Perhaps within one of the containers, some unknown Devil Fruit or rare treasure is hidden.
But in reality?
Based on Teach's experience as an "old foreman", it is far more than that; one hundred billion Beli is the minimum.
There is a wide variety of items, some cheap, some precious.
There are boxes and boxes of ore.
One can even see boxes filled with firearms being loaded into containers.
"Heh! Even if you succeeded, how much could you take away?"
Lubock retorted.
"Besides, are you prepared to become an enemy of the world? These goods come from various factions in the New World."
Lubock's words undoubtedly dispelled their unrealistic plan.
If these goods were targeted, the Kronos Kingdom's mission is to protect and transport them.
If goods are plundered within the Kronos Kingdom's Territory, the Kronos Kingdom naturally bears responsibility.
However, the Kronos Kingdom will only bear twenty percent of the losses.
This seems very overbearing.
The Kronos Kingdom is indeed like this.
After all, the current Kronos Kingdom is the center of world trade, and countless factions rely on the Kronos Kingdom to obtain significant interests.
Each rein pulls at the entire world.
Once the Kronos Kingdom blockades a certain faction, it will be a painful blow to that faction.
The Trade Route established by the World Government, in a sense, exists dependent on the Kronos Kingdom's Trade System.
The Trade Route protects the safe circulation of supplies.
And the Kronos Kingdom controls the main circulation channels for supplies and holds the dominance.
With the establishment of the Kronos Kingdom's Trade System, world trade has clearly become visibly more prosperous in recent years.
The economic strength of various member nations has significantly increased.
This is one of the reasons why member nations are willing to increase the heavenly tribute.
Even more member nations have the ability to pay the heavenly tribute.
The World Government has profited greatly from this, all brought about by the Kronos Kingdom.
Under these circumstances, no matter how strict the requirements, various factions still need to utilize the Trade Route to obtain interests.
The dominance is always held by the Kronos Kingdom.
Moreover, they have sufficient confidence in the Kronos Kingdom's strength.
