Above the Pirate King

Chapter 994 St. Martin's Sea Train
In the following time, Doflamingo was extremely busy.

Not only was his subordinate's business frequently attacked by his competitors, but his power and himself were often attacked by killers, and his name was even listed on the bounty list in the underground world!

A full billion!

Of course, he can still handle all these. As the underground world codenamed "Joker", he has been operating in the underground world for many years and has great influence, so he is not afraid of these!
What really troubled him was the attack from the world government!

After those messy things were exposed, the World Government immediately wanted to disassociate itself from him and clear him out of Qiwuhai's queue, so as not to affect the reputation of the World Government!
In the end, if he hadn't threatened the world government with the secret of the Tianlong people in his hands, he would have been cleared out by now!

But even so, the world government still beat him intentionally or unintentionally during this time, trying to make him withdraw from the Qiwuhai queue, which caused Doflamingo a lot of headaches!
However, fortunately for Doflamingo, when those messy things were exposed, the things about the Kingdom of Dressrosa were not exposed.

Otherwise, even if he has the secret of the Celestial Dragon in his hand, it will be useless, he will definitely be cleared out of Qi Wuhai's queue!
After all, what he did in the Dressrosa Kingdom could be said to have offended all the other countries in the world intentionally or unintentionally!
No one wants the same thing as Dressrosa Kingdom to happen in their own kingdom, right?
So once this matter is exposed, other franchise countries in the world will join forces to boycott him, and even if he has the secret of the Tianlong people in his hands, it will not work!
"boom!"

Thinking of this, Doflamingo couldn't help but patted the table again, cursed, and said, "Damn Crocodile!"

In Doflamingo's mind, if it wasn't for the bastard Crocodile, he wouldn't have had so many troubles today, and he was even thankful that the affairs of the Dressrosa Kingdom hadn't been exposed!
"What should I do?" While having a headache, Doflamingo couldn't help but recall the situation before him, trying to find a way to break it!
Although he really wanted to kill Crocodile, he also knew that the main problem now was not to kill Crocodile.

Instead, break the situation and find a way to reverse the situation in front of you!
Even if it can't be reversed, at least let things stop getting worse!
-
the other side!
Just when Doflamingo was having a headache because of the messy things being exposed, Arthur who was in the West Sea was very happy.

There is no reason for him!

The sea train passes!

Well, since Tom the Murloc has taken them all, how could Arthur not have the idea of ​​the sea train?
Therefore, he started building sea trains a long time ago!

Compared with ordinary ships, sea trains have countless advantages after they are built.

Such as speed!

Sea trains with fixed tracks can travel many times faster than ordinary ships!
Such as convenience!

Before normal ships sail, they need to replenish a lot of supplies and make a lot of preparations, which will take a few days. Therefore, if people want to travel far, generally speaking, they need to book tickets in advance and make all preparations!
But sea trains are different!
Because the speed is fast, the supply is more convenient, and new islands can be found basically every day, so as long as you pay attention to the maintenance of the train, you basically don’t need to replenish much supplies, and you don’t need much preparation time. There are several trains departing every day, and people want to travel far. Basically bring money, you can take a trip as soon as you say it!

For example, the goods flow quickly!

In the past, if you wanted to buy special products from the easternmost part of the West Sea in the westernmost part of the West Sea, generally speaking, you would have to pay one or two times the price. Occasionally, you would have to wait to get them because it would take a long time to get them by boat, and things were hard to get.

But now with the sea train, it doesn't take a month or two to go from the easternmost to the westernmost of the West Sea, but a few to ten days at most, so the price of special products will naturally drop!

However, apart from these advantages, sea trains are not without disadvantages!

For example, it is easy to affect the navigation of ships!

It is not easy for a ship to stop when it is sailing!
Generally speaking, as long as a normal ship stops, it will slowly slow down from a long distance until it stops at a designated place. In this case, if a sea ship suddenly encounters a sea train, a collision accident may occur. Caused countless deaths!
Such as affecting the fishery!

When the sea train was designed, in order to avoid being attacked by the sea kings, a special device was designed on the car. When the sea train was running, it would make an annoying sound from the sea kings to expel the sea kings!

And it turns out that this kind of sound is not only annoying to Neptunes, but even ordinary fish!

It's just not as annoying as Neptunes, who will turn their heads and leave when they hear it, but leave the sound range subconsciously!

But this, coupled with the large number of sea trains in St. Maarten, will inevitably affect the reproduction and growth of fish, which will affect the fishery of St. Maarten.

Of course, the flaws do not conceal the virtues!
Although there are disadvantages, compared to the many advantages, this disadvantage is nothing!
And
The disadvantages are not irreducible!
In order to avoid affecting the navigation of ships and the development of fishery, St. Maarten asked the people from the Ministry of Industry to calculate in advance before the construction of the sea train started, and calculated the orbital distribution that would least affect the navigation of ships and the growth of fishery resources. department!

While minimizing the disadvantages, it does not affect the number of sea trains!

Well, that's why with St. Martin's full support, Tom has joined St. Maarten for so many years, and the sea train still took so many years to build!

Of course, apart from this, the main reason why the sea train took so many years to build is another point!
Compared with the sea train in the capital of seven waters, the density of the sea train in St. Maarten is many times higher!
Arthur knew how beneficial things like sea trains were to the circulation of resources within the kingdom and to the economic development of the kingdom, so it was originally designed on the premise that the entire West Sea would be densely covered!

Therefore, the number of sea trains to be built is naturally much more than that of the water capital, so the time required is also much more!
"After the construction of the sea train is completed, the circulation of resources among the people of the kingdom will be faster, and the speed of economic development will also be faster, and the growth of the kingdom's national power will also be faster!"

Standing in the train station next to St. Martin's port, Arthur looked at the smoking and roaring sea train speeding towards the distance, with a smile on his face!

Well, folk resources!
In fact, the sea train was built for civilian use!
If it is for military use, St. Martin already has an underground train!

That has already connected the entire West Sea!

Not only that, in the past ten years, the underground train has even connected the other four seas, the great waterway, and some islands in the New World.

It's just that this is one of St. Martin's secrets, so that when war breaks out in the future, the materials can be transported to various places, and it is to sell the things in the West Sea to other sea areas to earn a lot of money, so Arthur is not going to expose it at this stage. It is not ready for civilians to use!
In addition to trains, St. Maarten also has such things as portals, and this is not intended for civilians to use, so civilians don't know about it!
