One Piece: I Am the Revolutionary Army

Ariane: Is this really a habitable place? I've seen many bad environments, but I've never seen an island as dirty as this.

The images displayed on the virtual screen are extremely realistic.

Arian felt as if he were personally in the gloomy and foul Kingdom of Catalina, feeling the unbearable feeling of suffocation with every breath.

There was also the gloomy and low-hanging sky, and the huge chimneys in the distance spewing thick black smoke.

Golden Lion: What a peculiar island. I have rarely come across such artificially created islands with extremely harsh environments. It is similar to the Uncertainty Terminal in [And the City King].

Ed: In terms of scale and harsh living conditions, this country is probably much worse than Uncertainty Terminal.

Most people in the chat room had never witnessed anything like it.

After all, in the world of pirates, technology is not mainstream, and heavy industrial cities with severe pollution levels like this are especially rare.

Most islands still retain their original ecological environment, with jungles and wild beasts being the norm, rather than the black and gray scene before us.

Leo: Speaking of this, have similar uprisings ever occurred in some countries in the south?

Siren: Indeed, there have been. According to records, there have been more than thirty uprisings since the discovery of coal mines in the Kingdom of Catalina a hundred years ago.

Especially the super-large-scale uprising twenty-seven years ago, with more than 100,000 participants.

"An uprising of 100,000 people?"

People in the chat room couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

You know, even if all the people in the entire Goa Kingdom were added together, it is estimated that they would not even reach this number.

A detailed investigation report of the Kingdom of Goa showed that the entire Kingdom of Goa, including all villages inside and outside the Kolber Mountains,

However, a major uprising in the Kingdom of Catalina involved more than 100,000 people.

This is equivalent to all the citizens of the Kingdom of Goa participating in an uprising.

Although the Kingdom of Catalina was obviously much larger than the Kingdom of Goa, the scale of the uprising of 100,000 people was still shocking.

Siren: I remember it very clearly. Before the Revolutionary Army uprising, this was the largest uprising, but it ended in failure and was completely suppressed by the navy. The specific details are still unclear.

Siren: Moreover, there is a very interesting phenomenon in historical documents. Since the failure of the large-scale uprising twenty-seven years ago, there has been no record of any uprising in the Kingdom of Catalina.

Siren was very interested in this matter. She had not really understood why there were so many uprisings in the Kingdom of Catalina.

Now, after watching the video, she understood that it would be strange if the residents here did not revolt in the face of such a living environment.

But it is difficult to understand why there was no more uprising later.

Perhaps, only those who witnessed the incident can truly uncover the secret.

[Arian and his party have been staying in the Kingdom of Catalina for about twenty days.]

[During these twenty days, they conducted a detailed investigation of the vast Kingdom of Catalina.]

[The total area of ​​the Kingdom of Catalina is slightly more than twice that of the Kingdom of Goa.]

[However, its habitable area is much larger than that of the Kingdom of Goa, because the Kolber Mountains in the Kingdom of Goa are mostly undeveloped, while the terrain of the Kingdom of Catalina is flatter and more suitable for habitation.]

[Therefore, there are almost no mountains in the Kingdom of Catalina, and most places are habitable.]

[In terms of urban planning, the Kingdom of Catalina is divided into five cities, the most central and largest of which is called the Heart of Coal and Steel.]

[Although it is called the Heart of Coal and Steel, it is actually a huge factory that gathers many coal miners and other workers who rely on coal to refine steel and other minerals.]

[The exact number is unknown, but it is definitely over 100,000.]

[This is the most polluted area, and the living environment is extremely bad.]

[The remaining four cities are four port cities, with slightly better air quality than the Heart of Coal and Steel, and lower population density. The permanent populations of the four cities are generally within the normal range.]

[These port cities are generally populated by people who have lived there for generations, with fewer elderly people, and they also have many hotels to accommodate merchants who come to buy steel and coal, etc.]

[In addition, each of these four port cities has four naval branch bases, but the number of people is not large.]

[According to investigation, due to the extremely poor air quality in the Kingdom of Catalina, it is not suitable for daily military training, so there are only about a hundred navy officers stationed in each branch base.]

[On the islands surrounding the Kingdom of Catalina, there are naval bases with complete facilities, with a total force of over 5,000 people, forming a strong outer defense line.]

[According to the residents of the city, the presence of these navy soldiers is mainly to suppress workers' riots, because since the discovery of coal resources in the Kingdom of Catalina, large and small labor disputes have continued.]

[In addition, this is an important resource-based island that supplies a large amount of coal and steel to the World Government every year, so the World Government has deployed a large number of naval forces here.]

[This investigation report on the Kingdom of Catalina is quite detailed. If Arian and Tamron were to work alone, it would be impossible to complete this task in just twenty days.]

[The key to conducting an in-depth investigation is to cooperate with the local people. The hundreds of elite revolutionary soldiers that Arrian brought from the Kingdom of Goa played an important role in this.]

"The discontent among the people of this country is very strong," said Teng Long.

He had visited many places in the Kingdom of Catalina in the past few days, and the only feeling he had was depression.
