"Hey, did you hear? There's a new guy here again."

"Are there new people so soon? What happened to the Navy recently? Did you take X medicine?"

"Who knows. But this is always a good thing for us."

"Yes, the old man teaches the newcomers the rules, and the newcomer obeys the old man. This is how everyone comes here."

"This way, we don't have to get beaten every day."

"Shh, keep your voice down, the new guy hasn't arrived yet. Even if he does, he's not sure whether he will be assigned to our prison."

"What are you two talking about in secret? Are you secretly speaking ill of the boss!"

"No, no."

"We are talking about the new thing recently, what is it called - 'reform through labor'."

"What kind of thing is there to discuss that some idiot came up with?"

"It's just like, 'Work creates a better life', 'Come and work if you want to eat extra', 'Come and work if you want to change your clothes'. They sound nice, but in the end they are not tormenting us in different ways."

"With all these broken grass and trees, as well as the bastard jailer and the big spider, even if you put on new clothes, they will be scratched very quickly."

"But, I heard that those who participate in the labor reform will receive special treatment, and the blue gorilla and the jailer will not beat them..."

"What did you say?"

"Boss, boss, I heard about it too."

"Who said it? What else did you hear?"

"Listening to the guards passing by...I, I also heard that the best performers not only had extra meals, but also a large glass of ale."

"hiss……"

"Gudu..."

"Wine, I haven't had it in years."

"I really want to drink."

"That's enough, shut up! Don't forget where this is! This is Impel Down! The darkest underwater prison! The only purpose of existence is to torture us! Let us live a good life, do you think you are so kind? Listen to me, no one is allowed to go, I will kill anyone who dares to go! Do you hear me?"

"heard it……"

"It's not exciting, please be louder!!!"

"Listen, I heard it!!!"

"What are you making a noise about? Loud noises are prohibited in prison! Open the door and let the blue gorilla out!"

"No~~~~"

"Help~~~~"

"Huh, you really don't have good intentions."

……

……

……

Impel Down City LV1, which is the underground level, the prison area known as the "Red Lotus Hell" is still crying like ghosts and wolves howling as always, but the ground level separated by a wall is quiet.

In the newly opened workshop, about twenty prisoners were rubbing cotton thread under the leadership of a support staff member.

To be honest, this is extremely low-level labor.

In the past, even the weakest prisoners would not look down on such an unskilled job with extremely low returns.

But now, the prisoners are working very seriously and carefully, for fear of doing something wrong.

Among these prisoners, one prisoner stood out.

女性

Pretty.

This is definitely a rarity in the male-dominated Impel Down City.

More importantly, she is very capable. Not only is the cotton thread she kneads strong and good, her speed is three times that of other prisoners.

Because of her beautiful red hair, prisoners with nefarious deeds gave her the nickname "Hong You San".

"it is done."

Gently wrapping the last strand of thread around the thread barrel, Hong Yousan raised his left hand habitually.

The middle-aged man, who is over fifty and is semi-retirement here, put down his work, skillfully labeled the wire barrels, nodded and said: "Passed. One work point. Do you want to continue? Or go to the next door to rest."

"Let's rest for a while. I'm a little tired." Hong Yousan stood up.

The uncle, who specialized in textiles, nodded and gestured to the guard. The gate on one side slowly opened, revealing a gap that only allowed one person to pass through.

Hong Yousan squeezed through with some difficulty, and the next second, the gate was closed again, blocking the expectant gazes of other prisoners.

They all know that there are large pieces of meat, large barrels of wine, soft sofas and... what is most lacking in the prison, long-lost sunshine.

As they thought, the first thing Hong Yousan did after entering the door was to sit on the sofa under the skylight and stretch out in front of the sun, not caring at all how tempting her curves were.

The man sitting opposite looking through a pile of reports raised his head: "Is it done? It's three minutes faster than yesterday."

"Only if you are familiar with it, you said so." The woman smiled slightly, with a calm expression.

If someone familiar with her saw her at this moment, they would be shocked. The extremely terrifying poisonous powder on the battlefield, the pampered eldest princess of the Germa Kingdom, was actually willing to do what the servants did, and still enjoy it.

The gold-medal female worker nicknamed Hong Yousan is none other than Vinsmoke Leijiu, who was secretly imprisoned.

The man sitting opposite him, half surveillance, half office worker, was Luo Pan, the chief judge of Impulse City who gave her her current life.

The man put down the information in his hand and asked, "Should I save it or exchange it for something?"

"Originally I wanted to save it, but now I have changed my mind. I want to exchange it for wine."

"Which one you want, I'll get it for you."

"One kind is not enough, we need to use several more, and you have to make them yourself."

"This is not in the exchange list." Luo Pan stood up from the sofa and paused, "Besides, your state today is a bit off."

The reason why he moved his office here was to better observe the conditions of the reform-through-labor prisoners.

"You can see it." Reijiu took off her shoes, put her feet on the sofa, and hugged her knees with her hands. "I'm a little worried that days like this won't last."

"Why do you think so?" Luo Pan turned his head and asked with interest.

Leijiu replied: "It has been half a month since the implementation of 'reform through labor'. During this half month, not a single 'old man' has joined. They are all 'new people' you brought back from Beihai."

Even Germa, who has "absolute obedience" engraved in his genes and is not afraid of death, knows that there is a mode in everything and does not waste money in vain.

If there is no progress in the plan, being cut off will be the only outcome.

"I am very happy that you are willing to accept this kind of life and sincerely consider it, and I am very grateful for your dedication and efforts. However, because you worked too hard and were held in solitary confinement, there are some things you did not see.

The number of people undergoing reform through labor has not increased, but its presence has penetrated deeply into the prisoners of LV1.

Look at the male prisoner behind you. He has injuries on his face. He was beaten yesterday because he had a new pair of shoes yesterday, which aroused the jealousy of the 'old man'.

You must have an impression of the person sitting there in the empty seat on the right front. His efficiency in rubbing cotton thread is second only to you. He is absent today. It wasn't because he was lazy, but because he used his points to redeem a large barrel of ale yesterday. He drank to the point of alcohol poisoning and was taken away by the medical team.

These all happen in large prison cells. How many people do you think can see it? Will those 'old people' who haven't had any drink or meat for a long time be moved? "

"Then why has no one joined?" Reijiu didn't understand.

“This involves an essential human ‘herd mentality’.

Shooting the first bird, Impel Down City has left too much terror for the sinners. They dare not and are unwilling to believe that "good things" can happen here. They are afraid that this will be even greater torture. Especially the 'boss' of each cell are not only afraid of torture, but also afraid that invisible changes will shake their status.

Where there are clouds, there is the world, and where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. There are always three, six or nine levels in the rivers and lakes, even prisons are no exception. "

After listening to Luo Fan's explanation, Leijiu became more and more puzzled: "What should we do?" Seven

"Don't worry, Director Jiang is only temporary." Luo Pan shook his head lightly, "The boss is afraid of change, but the people below may not be. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. I live at the bottom, what else is there to do? Afraid? When you went back today, you brought a large piece of meat and bone stick with you and deliberately walked through the central prison area."

"You want to fish?" Reijiu suddenly realized.

"That's right. Implementing a new system is almost the same as reform. As long as I throw out some bait every day, there will always be people who can't help it. Once people find out that not only does the leader not die, but it soars into the sky, the 'herd mentality' will evolve. For the 'role model effect', by then——"

I, Luo, have a level 15 yellow card from the fishing bar, Air Force, it doesn’t exist.
