July 1 was an utterly ordinary day on Sea Star.
It was only because the "World Government Kings' Conference" scheduled for September 15 was drawing near.
That the seas had become extremely lively over the past few months.
Numerous allied kings' ships from the Four Seas, all holding seats at the Reverie, were continuously passing through Reverse Mountain under the escort of Navy warships and pouring into the first half of the Grand Line.
However.
After successfully descending Reverse Mountain, they still had to undergo inspection by "Navy G-0 Branch."
As a result, the main harbor of what had once been called Thriller Bark was now packed with vessels of all sizes.
Some were luxurious royal ships, some were merchant ships loaded with cargo, some were civilian cruise liners belonging to the Flamingo Company, and others belonged to adventure groups formed by certain "Top Hundred powerhouses."
These "Top Hundred powerhouses," unwilling to be hired by royal families, nobles, merchant guilds, or companies, had relied on their own strength and fame to gather followers and take on work much like bounty hunters.
Clearing out pirates, cracking down on bandits, searching for treasure, escorting cargo, serving as bodyguards, and so on.
As long as it was legal, they took the job.
As for illegal work, they would decide whether to secretly take it depending on the profits.
Although there were many ships and their occupants came from all walks of life, under the Navy's coordination and supervision, they had formed four orderly, lengthy lines.
At a glance, it gave the impression of masts like clouds and ships stretching for miles.
It couldn't be helped.
After all the livestreams over the past few years, most Sea Star People had thoroughly witnessed the terrifying military strength and combat power possessed by the World Government.
