After years of development, Paros Island had expanded once again.
To accommodate more people and generate greater economic returns, the island had grown larger than it had been during the second Swordsmanship Tournament.
Reclaiming land from the sea was hardly difficult for the Kronos Kingdom.
Besides, there were Devil Fruit Users out on the seas.
At the same time, Paros Island had also made much better use of its available space.
Especially through Flying Cloud technology.
A belt of Flying Cloud nearly a kilometer wide encircled the entire island along its outer edge.
This Flying Cloud belt floated above the sea. It felt soft underfoot, yet was remarkably resilient. Unless damaged by tremendous force, it could support even warriors of the Giant Tribe without any trouble.
It was also inexpensive, and any damage could be repaired at any time.
This Flying Cloud belt had considerably increased Paros Island's area.
Not only that, but another belt of Flying Cloud hung above Paros Island at every thirty meters of elevation.
There were nine layers of Flying Cloud belts in all.
Sheets of Flying Cloud floated above Paros Island without obstructing the light.
Each sheet of Flying Cloud held extensive building complexes that could house visitors to Paros Island or local residents.
According to the Kronos Kingdom's calculations, Paros Island could now accommodate ten million people.
It had to be said that this was an astonishing number.
The islands neighboring Paros Island had also seen extensive construction.
After all, with the Sea Train and cloud passenger trains available, traveling between islands took little time.
Compared with the Sea Train, cloud trains had more advantages.
The Sea Train's tracks posed a risk of interfering with ships passing through.
Cloud trains were different.
Their routes ran through the sky, dozens or even hundreds of meters
