From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

Without hiding his smile, Gate opened an [Air Door].

Xia Jieren and he walked straight in.

Yixiao used his powerful [Observation Haki] to take in the entire scene.

"The Kingdom of the Netherlands is truly filled with talented people!" Yixiao couldn't help but sigh.

After Xia Jieren left, he left the Royal Casino with a smile.

On the way, he seriously considered the olive branch thrown by Xia Jieren.

To be honest, based on his observations during this period, the Kingdom of the Netherlands is indeed well governed.

The smiles on the faces and the happiness in the hearts of the locals of the [Kingdom of the Netherlands] in the [Westsea Pass] are real.

Yixiao is still very confident in his [Observation Haki].

His [Observation Haki] not only has a very wide range and great endurance, but can also clearly perceive people's emotions.

"This is just a corner of the [Netherlands Kingdom], we can't make any hasty judgment yet." He smiled secretly.

Then he boarded a merchant ship and planned to go to the Netherlands.

In the middle, some minor incidents occurred.

Yixiao arrived at the dock, but was rejected directly because he did not have an ID card.

Fortunately, Xia Jieren arranged for someone to keep an eye on Yixiao at all times and took him to apply for a temporary ID card.

Otherwise, he can only move in the [Xihai Pass].

This little episode not only did not make Yixiao disappointed with the [Kingdom of the Netherlands], but instead made him more interested in the [Kingdom of the Netherlands].

Especially learning the use of the ID card from other people.

On the merchant ship, Yixiao played with the temporary ID card and said with emotion: "This is really a good idea."

"Very effective in managing the people!"

However, Yixiao also knew that it was not easy to implement it.

In other countries except the Kingdom of the Netherlands, there is simply no soil for promotion.

On the way, Yixiao sensed the war monster of the [Netherlands Kingdom] - [Sea King Worm] lurking in the shallow sea area.

The dense number of them made Yixiao very surprised.

When we were approaching [Netherlands Island], Yixiao pointed to a place and asked the tour guide: "What are they doing over there? Why are there so many people?"

The tour guide looked closely and explained with a smile: "They are laying tracks for the Sea Train there."

"【Sea Train】?" Yixiao asked doubtfully. He felt that the term was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

The tour guide patiently explained: "This is a means of transportation developed by the [Seven Waters City] in the [Park]."

"[The Sea Train] needs to run on a specific track and it travels faster than a ship, about two to three times faster than a sailing ship."

"I didn't expect there was such a means of transportation!" Yixiao was a little surprised.

"Yes!" the tour guide agreed.

Then, he sighed in disappointment: "Alas~"

"What's wrong?" He turned to the tour guide and asked with a smile.

"Nothing!" The tour guide waved his hand and said, "I just felt a little sorry for Master Tom who developed the Sea Train."

"Master Tom must be a very capable person to have developed a transportation tool like the Sea Train!"

"Why do you feel sorry?"

Yixiao became interested and asked.

The tour guide pretended to be hesitant.

Then he recounted what had happened to Master Tom.

Yixiao listened in silence the whole time.

After a long while, Yixiao said in a faint voice: "Out of sight, out of mind!"

"There are too many filthy people in this world who are not worthy of our attention."

"Well...this world...sigh..." The tour guide shook his head and sighed.

Afterwards, both of them remained silent.

half an hour.

The tour guide pointed to the vaguely visible Netherlands Island and said happily, "We're almost there."

Yixiao felt more and more excited.

Soon, the two entered the [East Port of the Netherlands].

“This is the most prosperous port I have ever seen.”

Under Yixiao's perception, [East Port of the Netherlands] was crowded with people.

The tour guide replied, "You've only just started! You haven't seen Eastport."

"Oh~, please take me to see it." Yixiao became interested and asked the tour guide.

"No problem! Leave everything to me!" the tour guide took charge.

"So tall! So big! So many!"

When I entered [Donggang City], I was a little dumbfounded.

Through [Observation Haki], he can see the entire city with just a smile.

Neat and harmonious, this was his first impression.

The streets are wide and flat, crisscrossing like a carefully woven grid, dividing the entire city into an orderly manner.

The lush trees on both sides of the road form green corridors, adding a touch of vitality to the city.

Tall buildings stand in rows, rising from the ground like bamboo shoots after a spring rain and reaching the sky.

Looking at Yixiao's surprised expression, the tour guide said proudly: "How about it!"

"You can't believe that this city with a population of 40 is only 5 years old!"

"5 years? You said this city was built in just 5 years." Yixiao said in shock.

"That's right!" The tour guide nodded slightly, indicating that he was right.

He gasped with a smile.

He had traveled far and wide and had seen many towns, including the royal capital.

But those places are far inferior to [Donggang City].

Under the guidance of the tour guide, Yixiao wandered around.

They walked and stopped, curious about the things around them.

Steam cars emitting white smoke and dull noises, and the people who are constantly on the move and exuding emotions all the time.

Then, they found a small restaurant, enjoyed a simple meal, and boarded the train to the [Royal Capital].

Yixiao is very interested in steam trains, these steel monsters that can move very fast and tirelessly.

Under his perception, the surrounding scenery was rapidly receding.

This is almost as fast as his movement speed when he uses the [Heavy Fruit].

halfway.

Yixiao chose to get off the bus.

He planned to visit the countryside of the Kingdom of the Netherlands first.

Places like rural areas can better reflect a country's national living standards.

There is nothing wrong with having a tour guide.

So they changed to a steam bus and entered Lingfeng Village.

The sunlight shines through the light clouds and falls on the vast fields.

In the fields, seedlings are quietly emerging, and it won’t be long before they turn golden.

The layout of [Lingfeng Village] is very neat, with rows of houses neatly distributed on both sides of the road.

The open space between the houses is planted with various colorful flowers and plants, adding a touch of vitality to the village.

The roads in the village are wide and flat, with green trees on both sides and a fresh breeze blowing on your face, making you feel very comfortable.

Occasionally a few farm vehicles drove slowly by, raising a cloud of dust, but it seemed so harmonious and natural.

The center of the village is a small two-story office building.

There is a wide square in front of the office building, which is a good place for villagers to gather and relax.

In the square, children were playing, old people were sitting together chatting, and bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time.

The arrival of Yixiao and the tour guide did not attract anyone's attention.

Yixiao stood aside, carefully feeling people's joy and happiness, and then smiled knowingly.
