"Three trillion Beli?!"
Doflamingo stared in shock, his eyes wide open.
Everyone were completely stunned, remaining dazed for a long while before they could even process that number.
Charlotte Linlin, Kaido, and Whitebeard all showed expressions of deep surprise as well.
Although money no longer held much meaning for beings like Charlotte Linlin and the others, hearing such a figure still left them shaken.
Whitebeard and the rest had spent three days enjoying Nightless City. As impressive as the city was, it was not their territory, and they could not stay forever.
Before they departed, Rosinante hosted a banquet for them and had Laki calculate Nightless City's total revenue over those three days.
But when the figure was announced, it stunned not only Whitebeard and the others, but Doflamingo's group as well.
They knew business in Nightless City had been explosively successful during those three days, but none of them had imagined it would reach such an unbelievable level. It could only be described as a miracle.
Ever since the Four Emperors Agreement was jointly announced, countless wealthy individuals, merchant guilds, pirates, and even nobles from all over the world had poured into Nightless City.
They came with only one purpose in mind: buy, buy, buy.
With the declaration of the Four Emperors Agreement, Nightless City could now be called the safest city in the world.
In this era of rampant piracy, even the richest people lived in constant fear, worrying that pirates might one day come knocking at their doors.
Even if pirates did not show up, under a corrupt social order there were still bullies, nobles, and even Marine and government officials who could oppress people in various ways.
That was why so many people were willing to live in Big Mom's territory, even at the cost of regularly handing over part of their lifespan. It was because that land belonged to a Four Emperor, because it offered a sense of security.
And so, once the Four Emperors Agreement was announced, countless people rushed into Nightless City.
Their first target was real estate. People spared no expense to buy property in Nightless City, desperate to secure a place for themselves within the city.
Driven by this frenzied demand, housing prices in Nightless City increased tenfold in just three days. Even so, supply still could not keep up with demand.
Earlier, Doflamingo and his team had focused mainly on constructing commercial facilities. Although some residential areas had been developed, the limited time meant there were not many homes available.
Under this wave of buying, every completed residential unit in Nightless City was sold out within three days.
From real estate alone, Nightless City generated one trillion Beli in revenue, and nearly eighty percent of that amount was pure profit.
In other words, from housing sales alone during those three days, Rosinante had almost fully recovered the investment cost of building Nightless City.
With so much money flowing in, consumption naturally exploded as well.
That was how Nightless City achieved a staggering total turnover of three trillion Beli in just three days.
Food, wine, and shopping aside, gambling and tourism were practically businesses with no cost at all.
As a result, out of those three trillion Beli, two trillion were pure profit.
"Heh, I didn't expect it to be this terrifying either. Even if it's just the initial wave of blind spending, this number is still unbelievable," Rosinante said.
Such an astonishing turnover was largely thanks to the joint declaration of the Four Emperors, which gave Nightless City an ironclad guarantee of safety.
It could be said that bringing Whitebeard and the others into this was an extremely wise decision. The reputation of the Four Emperors directly propelled Nightless City to its astonishing level of success.
Rosinante had underestimated just how desperately people in this world longed for security.
The Great Age of Pirates had been underway for over two years now. Endless waves of pirates had forced everyone to live in constant fear.
Especially for those who had some money but not enough, or who lacked power and status, the absence of security was agonizing. They lived in fear that one day they would wake up to find their homes destroyed and their families gone.
Nightless City gave them that long-lost sense of safety.
First, it was protected by the world's four strongest pirate crews. No pirate dared to set their sights on it. For pirates, the deterrence of the Four Emperors was often even greater than that of the Marines or the World Government.
Second, the World Government had also invested in the project. Although things later turned sour due to the Celestial Dragons, Nightless City's firm stance reassured everyone.
Finally, Nightless City had effectively risen by stepping on the Celestial Dragons themselves. Even the Celestial Dragons had tried to seize it by force. Those were the world's nobles, people who lacked for nothing.
Naturally, people thought that if even the Celestial Dragons coveted it, then it must be something extraordinary.
And that was how Nightless City achieved the miracle of three trillion Beli in turnover in just three days.
