The Revolutionary Era in One Piece

The boundless sea, one ship after another, cruises to the port in the direction.

Mann took a boat and came to the island, but the experience on the boat was not very pleasant because it was a cargo ship.

In order to study the life of various societies under the rule of the world government, Marx and Engels began their study tour from O'Hara.

In this process, Marx and Engels witnessed all kinds of life.

At the same time, in order to study the most typical life of the proletariat under the rule of the world government, Marx and Engels took a ship carrying coal and came to the Kingdom of Andorra, a famous coal mining country in the West Sea.

However, one thing surprised Ma En very much: in this world that completely relies on sailing, there is still a large demand for coal mines.

Later, it was discovered that this was a giant coal mine developed to supply technological research within the Technological Kingdom and the World Government.

Only when he arrived here did Maren realize that almost the entire Kingdom of Andorra had been turned into a giant factory by the World Government.

There are hundreds of thousands of coal miners in the mines, and they all make a living from this profession.

In order to get closer to the lives of coal miners, Ma En took the initiative to "accidentally" change from a traveler to a coal miner.

Soon they were assigned to a coal mine with tens of thousands of workers. Under inhuman oppression, the workers lived a miserable life.

As a man of the 21st century, Marx and Engels saw the poor living conditions of the workers and realized once again that oppression and misery are the norm in this world.

In the small and dark coal mines, workers with no safety protection had to dig and transport coal manually, working naked, and many of them had obvious scars on their bodies.

But Ma En did not despise them, but worked with the workers in this harsh environment. In the next few days, Ma En ate, lived and slept with the workers. Only at night did he have free time to think about how to defeat exploitation.

Ma En wrote down his thoughts and ideas in the notebook he carried with him. After a few days, Ma En and the workers he had become familiar with began to conduct research.

He found old Gus, a respectable man. As one of the few educated workers, he sometimes discussed some issues with Marx and Engels in his spare time, and even read some unfinished notes and reports of Marx and Engels.

When Marx first arrived, he taught Marx various work skills. After they became familiar with each other, he let Marx join his group of workers, and the workers kept an eye on each other while they rested.

Ma En didn't smoke, but many workers did, so he prepared some cigarettes. He gave two to Old Gus and started the investigation.

"How do you like working here?" Maan asked.

"It's fucked up. I just have to make a living. It's better here than outside. At least we have the World Government here and pirates don't dare to mess around." Old Gus exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Do you think this situation is definitely right?" Ma En was a little excited.

"What else can we do? We have no choice in this damn world." Old Gus has worked in the coal mining country for half his life and has become somewhat open-minded about these things.

"But this is not right, I understand that many coal miners have been doing this for generations.

But just because something has always been done this way doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do. This situation needs to change.”

Old Gus stared at Ma En and chuckled. He leaned close to Ma En's ear and said, "I know there is a place that is instigating this incident. There are still many people active there. You can go there and find some accomplices."

This was somewhat unexpected to Marx and Engels, but after careful consideration, it made sense. Where there is oppression, there is resistance. This is a truth that has been true since ancient times.

"If there really are such people, that would be great. But they should not be called accomplices, they should be called comrades," Ma En said with a smile.

"Comrade? That's a nice word. I can tell you where it is tonight. Some workers dug a lot of hidden mine roads and discussed these things in some abandoned mines.

It was attacked by government agents not long ago. But some mines have not been discovered. There may be some fish that you have escaped gathering there now. You can go and have a look. It's a pity that I am old. "Old Gus said self-deprecatingly.

At night, Maan followed the path pointed out by old Gus and came to the pit along the mine tunnel. He scared a few people, but they were relieved to see that he was not from the government.

"Are you a new worker? You are late and you don't need to come again. We are ready to disband." said a young man.

Ma En looked at the faint candlelight illuminating the young face in the pit, and he felt a flame flickering in his heart.

Ma En began to get agitated. "Are you just going to give up like this? Just let the workers go on like this for the next month, the next year, the next lifetime, and for generations to come?"

The same young man shook his head and smiled bitterly. "We wanted to resist, and we selected people who were very influential in the mines to lead us.

But the result is as you can see. They have power and influence, and we have nothing, so we can never defeat them. "

Marx and Engels frowned. This was a common ideological problem among workers. There was no consciousness of struggle and unity.

But Marx did not give up. He said firmly, "As long as we unite, we can definitely defeat them. If you give up the struggle, please give me the channels to contact the workers, and I will unite the families."

Hearing this, the other young worker could no longer sit still. "Why should we trust you and hand over these valuable channels to you? Who knows if you are a spy for the World Government?"

Ma En looked at him and them calmly. "I was introduced by Old Gus. If you don't believe me, you can go check it out.

I have only been here for a few days, and all I have seen is endless darkness and exploitation. I came here to work with the workers, just to change all this, not for personal gain, but for morality. "

After saying that, Ma En jumped to a higher platform and faced several people with gloomy faces illuminated by candlelight.

"I am here only to do three things: fairness, fairness, and fairness!" Ma En said solemnly.

Several young men seemed relieved, and one of them whispered that if it was old Gus who introduced him, then he could be trusted.

The first person to ask, the young worker who was in charge, immediately said, "If that's the case, then let's do something big.

Tomorrow, also in this mine, we will gather all the workers who have a say, and then we will leave everything to you."

Ma En looked at the determined expressions on their faces and knew that no further words were needed.

He decided to make careful plans for tomorrow as the workers' struggle must not be allowed to fail.

"Then comrades, please go back and prepare. Well, from now on, we will all address each other as comrades.

Tomorrow we will re-determine the organization. Comrades! Believe firmly that the road is tortuous, but the future is bright! "
