Pirate: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

Since the discovery of coal, the Kingdom of Eryokabu has experienced more than a dozen uprisings.

Each time, it was because the workers were working too long hours and not getting enough rest that they erupted.

The most recent one was the uprising ten years ago, which was also the largest miners' uprising in history.

The riot involved almost all miners, totaling more than 150,000 people.

"150,000 people! My God, that's more than twice the entire population of my country."

A member of the Self-Defense Forces shouted involuntarily.

The faces of the dragon and the others were also filled with shock.

Knowing that due to the vastness of the ocean, there are almost no large, contiguous continents (excluding red earth continents), we should understand that the problem is largely due to the ocean's size.

The country is situated on a series of scattered islands.

The island is large and has a good environment, so more people live on it.

The island is small and the environment is harsh, so there are fewer people living there.

In Long's mind, a country with a population of more than 150,000 can be called a medium-sized country.

Most countries have populations ranging from 70,000 to 100,000.

These countries also constitute the majority of the member states of the World Government, with only a few large countries among them.

It is truly astonishing that the Kingdom of Eryokabu has been able to organize a rebellion involving more than 150,000 people.

However, the dragon was puzzled.

He had already started training in the navy ten years ago, but he had never heard of this matter.

"Uncle Snow, I have a question. Why have I never heard of this in the Navy?"

puff.

Uncle Snow revealed his uneven teeth and said:

"Do you know why you've never heard of this in the Navy? Because the Navy was responsible for suppressing the mutiny!"

Old Snow slammed his pipe on the table, a fierce look in his eyes.

"If I weren't an old man who could tell you weren't from the navy, I would have poisoned the water long ago."

The members of the Self-Defense Force were in a flurry of activity.

On the contrary, the dragon seemed not to hear Old Man Snow's threat.

He poured himself another cup of hot water.

He added some more for old man Snow, then picked up his own teacup and took a sip.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Only the sound of the dragon drinking water could be heard.

Seeing this, the fierce glint in Old Man Snow's eyes gradually diminished.

"Young man, you're very good."

"I have to say, you're much smarter than your dad. If it were him, he probably would have thanked me after drinking the poisoned water."

The dragon shook its head:

"My father's strengths lie in combat; he doesn't care about these minor details. But ordinary poisons can't kill him either."

Hahahahaha.

The air was filled with the cheerful laughter of old man Snow, and the atmosphere changed from quiet to lively.

"Uncle Snow, you haven't mentioned the suppression of the uprising yet."

Dragon's reason prevented him from forgetting his most important task: to investigate the current situation of the Kingdom of Eryokabu and to study the course of the uprising.

"There's not much to say. The miners did win. They swept everything and defeated the King's Guard."

"If the king hadn't run fast, he would have been hanged long ago."

But the miners did nothing after their victory; they shut down the mine and prepared to celebrate.

The escaped king contacted the Celestial Dragons, the world's nobles, because the miners had overthrown the king, shut down the mines, and refused to hand over the Heavenly Gold.

The Celestial Dragons, the world's nobles, were furious and dispatched agents from the Navy and the CP organization. In just half a month, the uprising was completely suppressed.

My son also died in this battle.

Old Snow took a deep drag on his cigarette, looking at his son's photograph with a nostalgic gaze.

"It is truly ironic that the son of an overseer, destined to become an overseer himself, would go and join an uprising, and even die because of it."

The dragon was deeply moved by what it heard.

Because that's the kind of person he is.

As the son of a naval hero, he is also exceptionally talented.

It can be said that no matter how unambitious Long is, he is guaranteed a lieutenant general position.

But after witnessing the evil in the world firsthand, his mind became confused.

After months of deep thought, the dragon finally couldn't bring himself to deceive it.

So he chose to leave the navy and travel the world in search of answers.

Whether the answer has been found is still unknown, but the dragon has seen the inherent flaws of the nobles very clearly.

Whenever he investigated a kingdom, he could always see evils that others missed.

He had also intervened in these matters, saving some people.

Most of these people are his/her companions.

After listening, Long raised his cup as if toasting the old man's deceased son, then tilted his head back and drank it down.

As Old Man Snow looked at the young former navy man before him, he was reminded of his own dead son.

"How come there's another fool in the world?"

Old Man Snow thought to himself silently.

Old Man Snow had advised his son not to join the uprising, saying that there was no need for his family to associate with the miners.

But his son wouldn't listen at all, and fanatically believed that the uprising was a very meaningful thing.

When Old Man Snow retreated with the other miners that year, he lost contact with his son. When he returned, he learned that his son had died in the navy's gunfire.

At first, Snow hated the navy, but as he got older, he came to understand.

The Navy is nothing more than a weapon in the hands of the Celestial Dragons.

Lacking independent will, the direction their blades are pointed at is entirely controlled by the world government.

Instead of hating the navy, they should think about how to assassinate the king.

However, he was saddened to discover that the king had already rebuilt a new guard and residence.

The high walls and numerous guards made it impossible for him to make a move.

Several thousand more naval personnel were stationed on the surrounding islands of the Eryokabu Kingdom as a force to suppress any uprisings at any time.

So after a long period of despair, old man Snow could only eke out a living in this house.

Dragon wrote down Old Man Snow's words in his notebook, and then repeated them along with the others:

"Get ready, we're going to work at the mine tomorrow."

North Sea Naval Branch, Admiral's Office.

Raleigh and Borsalino were staring at each other when, behind Raleigh, a group of navy men dressed as clerks carried documents taller than themselves into the office.

"Rayle, what are you trying to do? Take it away, I get goosebumps just looking at the documents."

Borsalino stared in horror at the mountain of documents piled up like a small hill.

"What for? To better govern Beihai, of course I'm inviting my dear brother to help me digest these documents."

Raleigh had a mischievous smile on his lips.

After returning from Doflamingo, he pondered the significance of the World Government's actions against him.

Borusalino had reminded him of the issue of economic sanctions, and he had also focused his efforts on that area.

However, after some research, he discovered that the Celestial Dragons were not sanctioning the Navy because of a shortage of funds.

So he brought over all the information about the world governments' overt and covert plans over the past hundred years!
