The Revolutionary Era in One Piece
Chapter 96: The End of the Journey to the West Sea
After a day's visit on the island, Raven and the old captain benefited a lot. By the next day, both of them had recovered their energy, and the merchant ship was about to continue its journey.
While the old captain and Raven were strolling around the island, the other members of the merchant ship had already handled all the affairs, including selling some of the goods on the merchant ship and purchasing some specialties on the island.
Looking at the still prosperous port, the old captain and Raven boarded the merchant ship again. Looking at the old captain who didn't sleep well, Raven smiled slightly, then looked at the sea and said, "There is still a whole route ahead. Merchant ships can sail slowly. Every port in the base is worth visiting."
So the merchant ships continued to sail along the revolutionaries' route, and at this time they had completely penetrated into the dangerous waters without naval protection.
According to the old captain's previous intelligence, these mysterious and dangerous waters are usually filled with pirates, and only those smuggling fleets that are willing to risk their lives in pursuit of profit dare to take these routes.
But the situation at the moment seemed to be inconsistent with the intelligence he had obtained. After going deeper into the channel, the merchant ship encountered neither a daring smuggling ship nor a dangerous pirate, but several similar merchant ships.
Unlike the waters controlled by the allied countries and close to the revolutionary party that they had just separated from, there were rarely any merchant ships there. However, as they went deeper into the waters controlled by the base, there were more and more merchant ships.
In the captain's opinion, the number of merchant ships encountered on this route is not inferior to the number of merchant ships encountered in the safe routes of the member states, and this is far from the core area of the route controlled by the base.
This gave the old captain an illusion that the closer he got to the core area controlled by the revolutionaries, the more merchant ships he would encounter and the more prosperous the sea area would be.
"How is this possible?" The old captain suddenly felt it was ridiculous and laughed at himself in his heart, "How can this kind of vitality and prosperity surpass the World Government? This is probably already the busiest route for the Revolutionary Party. As we go deeper into the base area, it will definitely become deserted again."
In Raven's eyes, the old captain seemed to be a little startled at this time, and the confused expression on his face really made Raven a little confused. What she didn't know was that a huge wave had already been set off in the old captain's heart.
However, she certainly could not have thought of this. You know, in Raven's view, this busy route is a basic operation. When Raven was in the South China Sea base, he was very familiar with this scene.
In addition, after Raven arrived at the West Sea, the merchant ships on the safe route controlled by the World Government were exactly the same as those Raven saw in the South China Sea. This gave her an illusion that merchant ships seemed to be everywhere, and the routes in other seas in the world should be the same.
If the old captain knew what Raven was thinking, he might have cursed. Only after decades of business, he knew the importance of a route with a stable climate, detailed hydrology, no threat from pirates, and a certain degree of prosperity. This is what all merchant ships dream of.
The two people on the boat did not have the same mindset, and they continued to move forward with different views. However, it is undeniable that they were indeed excited about the prosperity they saw. What they did not know was that a more prosperous scene was still to come.
The merchant ships continued to sail, their goal was to pass through the core area controlled by the Revolutionary Party, where the destination of Raven was. The old captain, who had heard of the prosperity of Roland Port, also wanted to pass through there. The ultimate goal of the merchant ships was to pass through Roland Island and finally sail to the Kingdom of Flowers.
Before reaching the core area, the merchant ship also stopped at several ports along the way. These towns were exactly the same as the first town they encountered. This also made the old captain completely acknowledge the ruling strategy of the revolutionary party. After all, construction is always better than destruction.
During the voyage, the merchant ships did not encounter any threats. The pirates who were rampant in other seas seemed to have been completely eliminated in the areas controlled by the revolutionaries.
The only thing that could be dangerous for the merchant ship was the revolutionary party's fleet hunting sea kings. It was said that the cause was that the sea king had a tendency to attack merchant ships, which resulted in it attracting the iron fist of socialism. The revolutionary party's behavior in maintaining the safety of the trade route also made the people on the merchant ship admire it.
Before reaching the core area, the old captain felt a little uneasy. Everything he experienced along the way was challenging the values he had held for decades.
Moreover, contrary to what he thought, after sailing through several towns, the number of merchant ships on the route did not decrease, but the trade route became more prosperous as it went further in. Could it be that someone could really replace the World Government?
However, he soon knew the answer because the merchant ship was about to enter the core area.
As soon as the merchant ship entered the core area, the old captain knew the answer: the world government might really be no match for this mysterious revolutionary party.
Even in the sea area at the outermost edge of the core zone, the level of prosperity has exceeded several times of before. Several other routes controlled by the Revolutionary Party will eventually be integrated into this sea area. This is the very center of the Revolutionary Party's construction!
While sailing in the core area, everyone on the merchant ship was dazzled, including the old captain and Raven.
Ruiwen was because the construction of the South China Sea base was still very recent, and there was still a gap between it and the West China Sea base that the revolutionary party had painstakingly built a long time ago.
If the prosperity of the South Sea base has reached the highest level of world government governance, then the construction achievements of the West Sea base in front of her have far exceeded her imagination.
This shock was even greater for the old captain. As one of the representatives of the old world, it was like a prince from the feudal era suddenly seeing the skyscrapers of the capitalist era. The shock can be imagined.
Countless ships were seen converging towards this sea area. Among them were large ships and small ships; merchant ships and fishing boats; independent merchant ships with white sails and the base's own merchant ships with red flags.
In addition, there were also ships from other countries in the West Sea. The people on the merchant ships saw many ships from influential countries, including their destination, the Flower Kingdom, which was flying its national flag, and the World Government's fortress in the West Sea, the Kingdom of Italy, one of the original twenty countries.
In short, before their eyes, ships from most of the countries in the West Sea gathered together, and even ships from the countries in the North Sea and South Sea were mixed in.
"Miss Raven, it seems that I can't keep up with the times." The old captain said bitterly, "All my experience is to protect myself from being hurt by my own kind in the unpredictable sea.
However, it seems that my experience is out of date here. This is exactly the dream place I pursue as a businessman. Who can not be happy when seeing all this? The so-called One Piece is far from this. "
Raven also fell silent. She could hear the old captain's voice trembling. But it was normal. Her heart was also trembling. No one would remain indifferent after seeing such a grand occasion (referring to the core area).
She thought of the old man who encouraged her to pursue freedom, 'I seem to have found the answer, on this journey, at this destination.'
