Chapter 309: Technology, Magic, and Betrayal
"Lord Imu, Saint Marcus Mars reported that the research and development team has successfully manufactured the first maritime train." Stussy informed as Imu was on his way to his office.
Imu had almost forgotten about this development project.
In his mind, this was something that would take at least ten years to complete.
Yet, here they were—only five years in.
He took the report from Stussy's hands and carefully read through it.
By the time he finished, he realized he had underestimated just how quickly the World Government had advanced in both technology and materials.
"Excellent. Once the Sea Train is up and running, maritime travel efficiency will skyrocket. Maybe the Calm Belt will finally stop being an impassable death trap," Imu mused.
That thought led him to Poseidon, Shirahoshi—who hadn't even been born yet.
"If only she could show up sooner..." he murmured.
With her abilities, she could command the Sea Kings and keep them from attacking the train routes and other ships.
Then, another idea struck him.
