The Black Alliance controlled quite a few shipyards. After all, this was a world dominated by the sea, with land as a supplement. Ships were the most important means of transportation, without question.
After Carlos swallowed up the John Family and the Charlie Family, he had around ten shipyards of various sizes under his control. This was also one of the major sources of income for established Mafia families.
Paradise Island had a large shipyard located beside the northern port, covering a considerable area.
After leaving Lucifer Manor, Carlos led his men to the shipyard. Upon receiving the news, all the shipyard's senior staff came out to greet him.
Carlos happily offered them some encouragement. This was his first official visit to the shipyard, so the reception was somewhat grand. There would be no need for such a fuss in the future.
After entering the shipyard's office area, Carlos summoned the finest shipwrights in the facility, preparing to hear their design proposals and select the best of the best.
In fact, this shipyard had already gathered most of the core shipwrights from the shipyards under his control. Shipbuilding was quite a profound profession—easy to enter, but difficult to master. It was far more than simply repairing ships.
And that was not all. Carlos had requisitioned most of the shipwrights from the other families—in other words, from the entire Black Alliance—leaving only the bare minimum needed to keep the other shipyards running. He had also offered hefty sums to invite and hire shipwrights unaffiliated with the Black Alliance.
Not all the shipwrights had arrived yet. Some were still on the way.
In short, Carlos intended to gather most of West Sea's renowned and top-tier shipwrights and have them work together to create a world-class vessel—one capable of sailing through any sea
