Chapter 743: Trade System Port Island (2)
A Port Island, a Vice Admiral Level Combat Power.
Including the Four Seas, there are a full sixteen such islands.
In the Four Seas, there isn't much to worry about.
Vice Admiral Level Combat Power is already capable of suppressing the vast majority of forces in the Four Seas.
And the Faction with this capability won't attack the Kronos Kingdom's Port Island.
Because they are aware of the Kronos Kingdom's strength.
If they were to actually take action, it would absolutely be destructive for them.
In the New World, there are even Top Tier Combatant guarding them.
Even if they were truly plundered, the Kronos Kingdom's strength is enough to recover most of the goods.
A small amount of loss is completely within the acceptable range.
After all, who can move so many supplies at once?
Even for the Kronos Kingdom, one trip takes half a month's time.
Perhaps Shiki "The Golden Lion" could, but he wouldn't do that.
He has passed the time of pursuing treasure and possesses a greater ambition.
These supplies, if they are to be sold, must flow into the market.
All supplies are within the Kronos Kingdom's records.
With the Kronos Kingdom's control over the New World and The Great Sea, once they appear, they can be discovered immediately.
These are all theoretical.
At the very least, nothing similar has happened over the years.
Of course, there have been Pirate who targeted the Port Island.
However, without exception, they all failed in the end.
They couldn't even leave if they wanted to.
Infringing upon the Kingdom's interests, the only outcomes left are death and a fate worse than death.
Among them, the most famous one was the "Claw Emperor," who had been active on The Great Sea since the Rocks Era.
He was a Paramecia-type Paw-Paw Fruit Ability User and the Captain of the Claw Pirates.
With a bounty as high as 800 million Beli, he was also considered one of the Overlord-level Great Pirate.
And he even possessed a Pirate Fleet of four thousand people.
Three years ago, he targeted a Port Island.
Not long after the Pirate Fleet entered the Kronos Kingdom's Territory, they were discovered.
The Kingdom Army directly intercepted them on The Great Sea.
Roughly half a day later, the Claw Pirates were completely wiped out.
To be precise, they disappeared silently.
This news shocked the entire New World, but it didn't cause much trouble.
It was as if nothing had happened.
The news was completely blockaded, and the only thing known was that the Claw Pirates had hit a steel plate.
They actually dared to provoke the Faction behind the scenes of the Pluto Pirates.
An invisible hand erased everything about the Claw Pirates.
Gradually, The Great Sea forgot about them entirely.
On The Great Sea, new events happen every day.
Most people can only get intelligence through media or visual Den Den Mushi.
If they don't appear for too long, they will be replaced.
One of the prerequisites for breaking into a Port Island is entering the Kronos Kingdom's sphere of influence without being discovered.
Most Faction are actually within the Kronos Kingdom's monitoring range, and any movement can be detected.
The Kingdom can also prepare immediately.
Often, those Pirate are intercepted by the Marines or the Army before they even get close to the Kingdom's important islands.
Unlike the Pluto Sea Area, which is a generally recognized sphere of influence of the Pluto Pirates with relatively clear boundaries.
What about the Vast Sea Area North of the Kronos Kingdom?
It has now been occupied by the Kronos Kingdom and is still undergoing external expansion.
Nominally, it doesn't belong to the Kronos Kingdom, but in reality, they have already begun to control these islands.
This matter is proceeding in secret.
Although many people know that there is a terrifying Maritime Fleet in this vast Sea Area.
There are also many people who don't know.
As long as the Kronos Kingdom doesn't openly mark these Sea Area on the map as their Territory, engraving their mark and letting everyone know.
Then, there will certainly be no shortage of trouble.
It looks like the islands are very peaceful.
In reality, most of the external threats have already been destroyed or expelled by the constantly patrolling Marines in the entire Sea Area.
The main purpose of the Army guarding the Port Island is not to resist external enemies, but to monitor the various Faction transporting goods to the islands.
Most people are greedy when they see such enormous wealth.
There will always be someone who can't control themselves and wants to secretly do something.
Even if there are instructions from the higher-ups, who can guarantee that the subordinates will obediently listen?
There are hardly any truly good people active in the Underworld.
"Don't have that idea. Just the Pluto Pirates alone is enough trouble for us. What we'd have to face then isn't just the Pluto Pirates."
This applies whether considering Lubock's true identity or from the perspective of the Black Emperor Pirates.
Of course, he knew that his companion was just joking.
They came from Paros Island and understood how terrifying the Pluto Pirates were.
How could they casually provoke the Pluto Pirates?
Although they decided to become Pirate, their special growth experience prevented them from engaging in casual plunder.
Or rather, their style wasn't that of pure Pirate.
For Pirate like them, bullying the weak couldn't realize their own value.
Their target was hegemony, the throne at the peak of The Great Sea.
Even though they didn't reject treasure, the enormous supplies on the Port Island held no significance for them.
What could they use it for?
As Lubock said, they couldn't take it away.
How much money could they exchange for just a little bit of something?
They didn't have the corresponding channel, and it was troublesome.
With that effort, it would be better to directly plunder those Kingdom and Underworld Forces.
There, they would find precious treasure.
Regarding Lubock's words, Teach, who was nearby, felt it more deeply.
Just the Pluto Pirates alone are a foremost Top Power on The Great Sea.
Whether it's overall strength, economic strength, or various other aspects combined, overall, no Pirate Crew can compare.
For the Black Emperor Pirates to reach this degree, it's basically impossible.
In many ways, the Pluto Pirates don't resemble a Pirate Crew.
But their powerful strength is beyond doubt.
Perhaps he could become a world-class Strongman, but even so, he still didn't want to be enemies with the Pluto Pirates.
His growth environment meant he didn't have any malice towards the Kronos Kingdom itself.
Moreover, the Pluto Pirates don't participate in hegemony, remaining detached from worldly affairs as a Neutral Force.
And this is only the current Pluto Pirates.
Not counting the two great giants of the past.
"Pluto" Hades and "Glutton" Titan.
Some Pluto Pirates Elder who have already retired.
And the Kronos Kingdom behind them.
Everything revealed signifies a colossus.
Hades' monster-like Child.
A powerful Maritime Fleet.
And who knows how much strength is hidden in secret.
The door to the world's truth began to open a crack towards Teach.
However, this was too far for him now.
