The Golden Sea Route was the paradise of adventurers.

Ever since the beginning of the Great Voyage Era, pirate ports proliferated and the number of pirates increased.

Some ports only accepted pirates, and they were particularly targeted by the navies of various countries.

And some ports were purely known for their high level of freedom. They allowed pirates to enter very easily, but public order was still extremely well-preserved in the ports.

These were typically the best places for pirates to sell off the goods they had plundered and spend on entertainment. The pirates brought endless fortune and business opportunities to the ports.

Every grain of pepper from the Spice Archipelago was worth one gold coin, but pirates would sell the pepper at two or three silver coins per grain. The goods could then be sold again at double the original price!

The attraction of 100% profits allowed these private ports to survive and thrive.
