East Blue, the Court-Plowing Operation fleet.
Crack-
A bolt of lightning struck Sakazuki's warship.
Enel's figure took shape.
"I'm so bored, old man. There aren't any pirates in the East Blue."
"We only ran into a few on the day we arrived."
Sakazuki smiled.
"Then go do some weapons research."
"Bullet really likes the missiles you made, doesn't he?"
Enel looked helpless.
"I don't have all the supplies."
"Those are already the strongest things I can build."
"Anything more powerful would need proper equipment."
"I'll work on upgrading them when we get back to Headquarters."
"Speaking of which... compared to the other three seas, this place is way too backward."
Sakazuki smiled.
"That's why it's more peaceful, too."
"That old bastard Garp comes back for a visit whenever he has nothing to do. Of course there are fewer pirates here than in the other seas."
"More importantly, the government wants to keep the entire East Blue in an agrarian age."
"Only then will people stay away from exploring the sea."
"If it had the same atmosphere as the North Blue or West Blue, where violence and gangs run rampant..."
"There would be an endless stream of people setting out to sea."
"The enormous bridge they're secretly building in the East Blue would be exposed in no time."
"I don't know what that enormous bridge being built against the Red Line is for."
"But the fact that construction has continued for seven hundred years already tells us how important it is."
Sakazuki narrowed his eyes. At times, the government's true reserves were impossible to fathom.
Seven hundred years of investment in manpower and resources was simply unimaginable.
As for the claim that this enormous bridge was meant to connect all the world's islands, that was bullshit.
Forget seven hundred years. Even
