"Mr. Shaw, are you going to leave Hannabal?" Xiao Ya is still looking for Louis, he knows that the other party already knows that he is joining the island's intelligence circle, so this guy is enough to make some decisions on behalf of the Nabo Chamber of Commerce.

"Yes, I have something I need to go out and take care of."

"So, can you ......?"

"City of Seven Waters," Xiao Ya said directly without waiting for the other party to finish asking, "I will ensure the safety of the ship I am riding on within my ability, I think you should understand what this means." ”

"Ah...... This, this is really good," Xiao Ya's words made Louis overjoyed, "The City of Seven Waters, the City of Seven Waters," he was a little carried away with excitement, and then he suddenly came back to his senses, "This, this, I'm really sorry to make you laugh, I don't know when you plan to leave?" ”

"The sooner the better."

"Well," said Louis, who had finally regained his old senses, "then please wait a few days, we will need to arrange for the boat." ”

"I know that I will give you time to arrange the ship," Xiao Ya added, "but remember, it is not the time to arrange the cargo, the sooner the better!" He looked at Louis and said word for word.

"Okay, I'll make sure you're satisfied!" Louis nodded busily, it was not for nothing that he would be so excited and excited, because what Xiao Ya had just proposed meant a long voyage with a strong escort for the Nabo Chamber of Commerce, and at the same time, it also represented a huge benefit.

Thanks to the heart.com, Xiao Ya was able to collect intelligence on Hannabar Island, which naturally included all kinds of business information, so he also had a certain degree of understanding of the operation of the economic system, and more deeply realized that the impact of the so-called era of pirates on the whole world was not just as simple as having more pirates, but affected all aspects.

From the perspective of goods circulation alone, first of all, in the world of One Piece, large landmasses are rare, but scattered into many islands, not to mention that this will cause a serious isolation effect on biological evolution, producing many unique species and materials, and various problems will arise from the normal operation of a society alone, because not every island can produce all the materials needed for daily life and work, and more or less need to be brought in from the outside.

As a result, the daily operation of society has a higher dependence on material exchanges, which is directly reflected in the fact that shipping is no longer a simple commercial behavior, but has become a necessary behavior to maintain people's normal work and life, especially on the great waterway, which is more obvious, because there is not only the problem of geographical separation, but also the fixed season, even if spring, summer and autumn islands can evolve adaptable animals and plants to meet the needs of daily life. So what kind of evolutionary tree can make the snow-covered Winter Island produce enough food to feed the inhabitants!

You can refer to the Eskimos in the Arctic Circle, the whole society revolves around fishing and hunting to meet the needs of life, agriculture? Planting? I'm sorry, but they even rely on hunting for the vitamins they need for their daily needs, "Kiviak" understands? I don't know if Luffy is interested in this kind of cuisine, but it's really "pure meat"!

In addition, the scattered islands have also caused the fragmentation of markets and economic volumes, and the self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy on the one hand has reduced the demand for external materials, but on the other hand, it also means that it is difficult to meet the conditions required for the development and production of products that are lacking, after all, no one will buy a cow for a glass of milk, and worse, for industrial production, sometimes, it is not only enough to buy a cow, but even a whole pasture!

The premise of the so-called "buy is not as good as making" is to have enough demand, otherwise, after all the upfront costs for production are amortized, the price of a single product will definitely break through the sky, prohibitive, coupled with the restrictions of the congenital narrow market, if this is a new product development, after all, it can be expected to expand the external market, if it is only to meet its own use, unless it is an extremely necessary product, otherwise from a commercial point of view, it can only be hehe, The result, in turn, has further increased the economy's dependence on external goods.

To sum up, maintaining the stable operation of logistics is very important to this world, which is why an island like Hannabal is so prosperous, because it has a large number of natural harbors, even enough to hide all the pirate ships participating in the death match, which is undoubtedly very conducive to the role of a maritime hub.

Judging from the natural conditions that need to be faced by shipping, this is not an easy thing in itself, especially the unique hydrological conditions of this world and the existence of sea kings, coupled with the unpredictable climate of the great shipping lane, are the nightmare of the shipping industry, but not all navigators have the function of human weather stations at the same time, Xiao Ya has a particularly painful understanding of this......

So, what impact will the era of pirates have on maintaining a stable maritime system? The most obvious is to make the merchant ship face all kinds of natural disasters at the same time, but also add man-made disasters, further increase the risk of navigation, thereby pushing up the operating costs, from a certain point of view, pirates are even more dangerous than natural disasters, after all, the storm will not be specially ambushed near certain routes, will not chase your ship to launch artillery bombardment, let alone board the ship to rob.

Also, apart from the distinction of purpose, is there any essential difference between a pirate ship and a normal ship? No, a pirate ship must first be a ship, and have all the functions of a ship, so every pirate ship means that it will lose the personnel and materials required by a normal merchant ship from the maritime industry, especially senior technicians like navigators, so another impact of the pirate era on the maritime industry is that a steady stream of available talents are drawn from it, and a large part of them are excellent talents, after all, in addition to the legal risks, the benefits of being a pirate are definitely higher than shipping, What's worse is that when these people become pirates, not only do they no longer play a role in maintaining a normal shipping system, but they become a destructive factor, constantly eroding the normal operation and development of the shipping industry itself.

Therefore, the existence of pirates is constantly disrupting the order of the maritime industry, and the era of pirates has further worsened the situation, and the consequence of this is that the logistics are not smooth.
