The Revolutionary Era in One Piece

Chapter 53 The Fire Starts

Ma En actually had a bit of a bad taste in his heart, but it was just a name, so he was quickly accepted.

The Revolutionary Party decided to carry out activities in the Kingdom of Italy under the name of the Fascist Mafia, and to develop the power of the Revolutionary Party while trying not to attract the attention of the ruling authorities.

Soon, the revolutionaries began to reach out to the oppressed masses at the bottom. The first to be united were the people living in the city slums, who had almost nothing and were the most revolutionary group.

Coupled with some material incentives provided by the revolutionary party, more and more proletarians joined in, and the revolutionary party's base expanded in the city.

After the revolutionary party mobilized the people in the slums, it also began to turn its attention to other workers who were being oppressed. They would also be the main force in the future to resist exploitation. The first tentative contact soon began.

Unfortunately, when the contact was underway, it was forcibly stopped. The Mafia finally intervened in the development of the Revolutionary Party. After all, the Revolutionary Party had expanded into their sphere of influence.

As the Mafia penetrated deep into the grassroots, the government agencies had actually completely abandoned their power structure at the lower levels. As the saying goes, if you don't fill the power vacuum, there will be others to fill it. The unique order of the Mafia came into being at the bottom of the Italian kingdom.

Today, every company located in the port of Genoa, no matter what industry, no matter how big or small, no matter what kind of business it conducts, cannot avoid dealing with the Mafia to a greater or lesser extent.

When a factory is looking for workers, the mafia can introduce them and charge a broker's fee; when a company sets up a factory locally, the mafia can maintain public security and charge a security protection fee; when workers go on strike and attack the factory, the mafia can act as thugs to suppress the workers and charge a job guarantee fee.

It is precisely because of the deepening collusion between the mafia and capitalists that the government departments have indirectly reduced their attention to these corners. However, now, if the revolutionary party wants to develop, it must deal with the mafia.

Now, the revolutionaries first contacted mainly the shipyard workers, who were under the control of the Camorra mafia family, which is also one of the five major mafia families in the West Sea.

In the eyes of outsiders, the newly formed Mafia Fascist faction soon came into conflict with the Camorra family, and the two sides began to fight in street fights according to the rules of the underworld. However, relying on the force of the cadres, the Fascist faction quickly gained the upper hand in the initial confrontation.

However, things were not that simple. After winning one or two battles, the revolutionaries found that they were still unable to win over more workers. Many workers even avoided the rallies held by the revolutionaries.

After investigation, they found that the workers had been warned by officials and business owners. The purpose of the Camorra Mafia was obvious. I can't defeat you, a new gang that popped up from nowhere, head-on, so I will crush you even if I use force.

Seeing that their opponents were using force to suppress them, some members of the Revolutionary Party became a little nervous. After all, the previous revolution had directly overturned the opponent's rules. Now, they really didn't know how to fight back within the opponent's rules.

At this time, it is up to some members of the revolutionary party who have social experience to come out and fight the mafia.

First, it was Irelia, Garen and others. They went straight to the government official in charge of this area and brought him onto the warship that the revolutionaries took. This type of powerful warship is rare on the sea, and it directly scared this low-level government official.

"Who do you think we are?" Galen shouted majestically, "This warship is the latest standard warship of the Babao Navy."

"Don't forget about the navy. I was supposed to go to the headquarters for further training, but I had to stay in the West Sea because of this matter." Daomei also said with an unchanging expression.

"In short, this matter is very complicated and you can't grasp it. From now on, don't care about or ask about anything related to the Mafia or the fascist faction. Do you understand?" Galen continued.

After saying that, Galen clapped his hands, and a member of the revolutionary party brought up a small box. Galen opened it and found a stack of Baileys inside.

This amount of money made the official dazzled. You know, he had never seen so much money since he took office. After all, the bulk of the profits were taken away by capitalists and the mafia. As an official, he could only get a small share in this environment.

"Don't worry." The official stammered, "Since this is the plan of the adults, I will definitely not hinder it. Besides, the competition between mafia is tacitly approved by the people above, everything is free competition."

Watching the official put the money into his arms, Irelia and Garen looked at each other and knew that the matter was resolved. From now on, the authorities would no longer hinder the expansion of the Mafia fascist faction.

While Garen and Daomei went to find the officials, Ma En also went to find the factory owners. Speaking of which, the capitalists of these factories also have more or less semi-official identities. After all, in the world of One Piece, if you have a huge fortune without any connections, you would have been eaten up by others long ago.

These factories, like the coal mines in Andorra, have more or less government-owned shares, but unlike the coal mines in Andorra, they are not directly managed by world government officials. In other words, these shares are a way for capitalists to pay protection fees.

Seeing Ma En suddenly enter his office, the business owner was about to reflexively scold him, but Ma En's next words calmed his dissatisfaction.

"Let us fascists take over the management of the workers, and we can guarantee a 10% increase in work efficiency," said Maan.

This calmed the capitalist down. There is a saying that goes, if there is a 10% profit, the capital will be used everywhere. "How can you guarantee that you can do what you said?" asked the business owner.

Although the other party was still asking for his assurance, Ma En knew that it was already stable. "All you need is to remain neutral. Also, if you don't believe it, we can still sign an agreement." Ma En said calmly.

"10% efficiency, in reality it means a 10% increase in profits, but the Camorra family has always been a partner of the company." Although the business owner seemed to be still struggling, he already knew deep down in his heart that his choice was self-evident.

When Ma En walked out of the office, Irelia and Garen, who had just completed the layout, were already waiting outside. "Let's take action," Ma En decided.

Then, the Fascists began to abandon the so-called underworld rules and began to expand rapidly, specifically targeting various industries that the Camorra family was involved in. Relying on the power and organization of the Revolutionary Party, they quickly drove the entire Camorra family out of the entire port of Genoa.

What happened in Genoa was quickly sent to the Camorra family's headquarters in Maro. The newly emerged Mafia fascist faction shocked the entire city of Maro with its first move.
