The Water Elf No.2 above Fen's head showed a puzzled expression on her behalf.

"How should I put it? Witch Sea was originally a barren land. Before the Crack Tide, including the City Lord of Moonstone City, the Chairperson of the Hunter Association, the three Admirals and the Marshal of the navy, along with other important island lords and big merchants, the number of legends didn't even exceed ten.
This is not because the pirates are too strong, but because they are too weak. The true power of Shell Country lies in its companies. Once the iron flood is done, when the sky is filled with Mechas falling from the heavens, the Four Great Pirate Groups will be a joke of no significant importance!"
Shell Country's true strength lay in its powerful companies, not its weak navy.
