From Propulsion City To Multiverse
Chapter 90 Monopoly Trade
Just when the land of flowers was surging, the new world was not quiet.
After the Flying Sky Pirates returned to the new world, they started the operation to recover the lost land and recaptured the previously occupied islands.
Of course, at this time, the Whitebeard Pirates also had the strength in the New World, and they could compete with the Flying Sky Pirates, but it was a pity that Whitebeard guarded his own one-third of an acre of land and was not very interested in other sites.
And Kaido's beasts, although they have begun to take shape, but because of the strategy of conspiracy the country of Wano, he has no time to come out to dominate the new world for the time being.
On Charlotte Lingling's side, although she was greedy, she still had some self-knowledge. Knowing that she couldn't afford to offend the Golden Lion, she took the initiative to withdraw from the dozen or so islands she occupied.
After all, she was also a former member of the Rocks Pirates, so Charlotte Lingling would rather provoke Whitebeard than provoke the Golden Lion.
The ability of the fluttering fruit is too powerful, and the golden lion does not need to fight the enemy at all, just throw the island at a high altitude.
Except for those who have the ability to fly, such as Polsalino, Yixiao, Kaido, etc., other people are definitely very passive when they encounter the golden lion.
Especially those who are incapable of flying, once they are smashed into the sea, they will be finished immediately.
Now in the whole new world, the title of "Sea King" has begun to spread, and the Whitebeard Pirates and the Flying Sky Pirates have been included in the ranks of the Sea Kings.
In fact, the current strength of the Flying Sky Pirates can be much stronger than the Whitebeard Pirates.
At this time, the Flying Sky Pirates had their headquarters set up in the sky above the windless zone of the West Sea, occupying many islands within the windless zone of the West Sea.
At the same time, in the central waters of the New World, it occupies about 67 large islands.
It has a total force of 37,000 people and an affiliated servant army of about 12,000 people. The source of the servant army is mainly three kingdoms sheltered by the Air Pirates. They are all non-world alliance countries.
In Blue Sea Star, there are 177 allied countries in the World Government, 142 non-joined countries, and some free islands, secluded islands in the windless zone, and empty islands. These are not the joining forces of the World Government.
Among the non-joined countries, there are powerful forces such as Elbaf and Wano country, and there are weak countries that are slaughtered by others.
These non-joined countries are usually two extremes, either do not need protection, because they have strong strength, or natural protection; or they are very poor and weak, because they cannot pay the heavenly gold.
Among them, the weak account for the vast majority, and these weak countries are also the main targets of pirates.
Even the privateer's license of Qiwuhai under the king is aimed at these non-affiliated countries and free islands.
In the non-joined countries of the new world, they will look for big pirates to shelter themselves, which is equivalent to worshiping the pier.
At this time, the Flying Sky Pirates are obviously a very suitable object to be a backer. Although according to the news of the World Economic News, the Golden Lion cut off his own feet and escaped from the advance city. How much strength is left, it is still a Unknown.
But as long as the golden lion's fluttering fruit ability is still there, no one can despise the Flying Sky Pirates.
Even the five old stars suppressed the fact that the special service team of hell was hunting down the golden lion, which shows that their fear of the golden lion has reached a level of great importance.
The Flying Sky Pirates, which occupy the windless zone of the West China Sea and most of the waters in the middle of the New World, are adjacent to the Palm Kingdom and very close to the Land of Flowers.
Air Pirates.
Sky Fortress Lion Island.
Wang Gao, Shi Ji, Samuel, plus Zheng Sen, Mu Yuye and Li Hongyuan, held a high-level meeting.
Of course, they all appear through virtual images, and the real ones are not here.
A three-dimensional map of a blue starfish is displayed in the middle of the round table.
The entire Blue Sea Star is divided into six regions by the red soil continent and the windless belt, namely the East China Sea, the West China Sea, the South China Sea, the North China Sea, the first half of the Great Route - Paradise, and the second half of the Great Route - New World.
The current mode of transportation is mainly sailboats, paddle-wheel sailboats, and a small number of high-tech windless sailboats.
On traditional routes, there are only two common ways to travel between the Four Seas and the Great Route.
The first is the Inverted Mountain Canal. Although the ocean current in it is the flow of the four seas to the great route, it does not mean that it cannot return to the four seas against the current, but it requires a relatively strong power.
The second is the Ring of Mary Joa, which is composed of huge elevators, circular railways and seven stations, which can directly travel to and from the four seas, the Paradise and the New World before and after the Great Route.
This is also one of the reasons why the World Government and the Draco people set the core of Mary Joa.
The kings of the various alliance countries came to Mary Joa to have a meeting, and it was also through this channel, instead of going upside down.
After all, the Upside Down Canal has been abandoned for more than 800 years, and the control system in it has long been destroyed during the great war.
A group of kings and Tianlong people who often go to the Four Seas Waves will definitely not take the reverse mountain canal route.
Don't look at many pirate groups from all over the world, they all take the Upside Down Mountain Canal route. In fact, they have no way to take the Mary Joa route. They can only risk their lives and take the Upside Down Mountain Canal route.
Every year in the Upside Down Canal, 60 to 80% of the boats are destroyed and killed. This is a deadly route.
As for why the world government does not occupy the Upside Down Canal, or completely destroy the Upside Down Canal and fill it up.
It's not that it can't be done, it's that it can't be done.
The consequence of occupying Upside Down Mountain is that a huge army has to be stationed there all year round, and it has to face fierce counterattacks from pirates.
What's more, after blocking the Upside Down Canal, most of the pirates in the four seas will be blocked, which will make the situation in the four seas more unstable.
From the perspective of the interests of the world government, the allied countries of the four seas are the core of its collection of gold and economy. Although there are interests on the great route, there are also a lot of disobedient allied and non-joined countries.
For example, Alabasta, Wano Country, Elbaf, Fishman Island, and a large number of big pirates in the New World.
Therefore, the world government needs to leave the Inverted Mountain Canal. Through this channel, pirates from all over the world will be attracted to the great shipping route, and it will also be convenient for some big pirates to return to the four seas, so as to achieve the purpose of raising pirates.
After all, there are not a lot of pirates, and the amount of gold collected that day will definitely be lowered.
The uncontrollable upside-down mountain canal, its very existence, is a deliberate act.
On the one hand, it can force the allied countries to pay the heavenly gold, and on the other hand, it can continue to weaken the allied countries through the pirates and the heavenly gold.
Coupled with the recently launched Seven Wuhai Plan under the King, it is aimed at various non-joined forces.
Of course, the existence of the Upside-Down Mountain Canal is also one of the elements for the existence of the Great Route and the windless zone.
Ocean currents are an important part of the ocean circulation system. Filling up the Upside-Down Mountain Canal may lead to abrupt changes in climate and the disappearance of windless belts on the Great Route.
If the windless belt disappears, the sea kings will appear in the four seas and the great route.
And the disappearance of the windless belt will bring about another problem, that is, the strategic value of Mary Joa will be weakened in an all-round way.
Why hasn't the world government been digging canals or tunnels elsewhere in the laterite continent for so many years?
The reason is to consolidate itself and make Marijoya an indispensable core of the franchise.
Traffic barriers are not conducive to the flow of goods, but traffic barriers are conducive to monopoly trade.
As the only Mary Joa in the world who can safely communicate with the world and the great route, even if she charges tolls, it is enough to make a pot full of money.
What's more, after monopolizing the route, you can use poor information, restricted passage, etc., to artificially create scarce commodities and make huge profits from it.
This is the strategic position of the Upside Down Mountain Canal, the Circum-Maryjoa Railway, which exists.
Eight hundred years of stable rule is not based on the so-called justice, but its strong financial and military power, coupled with the balance of weakening strategy and trade monopoly.
Later, there appeared a sea floor stone ship that can safely pass through the windless zone. This technology has always been monopolized and kept secret by the world government.
Of course, the Five Old Stars knew that this technology would leak sooner or later, so they set their sights on the country of origin of Hailou Stone - Wano Country.
