"Attend class!"
"... ..."
"Attend class!"

Vivian: (╬￣ Pan￣)
"How many times have I told you that when I say class starts, you have to say stand up and then stand up. Are you deaf? Are you deaf?"
As he said this, he swung out with his sword, and the lightning it created instantly cracked the back wall of the classroom, which had just been built less than a day ago.
All prisoners on the first and second floors: =???=????(●???●|||)
"Do it again, class!"
"stand up!"
"Good morning, everyone."
"Hello to you too, Prison Chief!"
"sit down."
Nodding with satisfaction, and seeing that all the prisoners were sitting upright in their seats, Vivian walked to the blackboard and wrote these four big words on it with chalk: Labor Reform.
"I have looked through the information. Among your group of prisoners, some have just arrived in Impel Down for a few months, while others have lived in Impel Down for more than ten years. What have you done here in the past ten years?"
"Every day, you basically do nothing except eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping. The government allocates funds every year, and the cost of supporting you alone is more than 100 million Baileys."
"Is this a good deal? It's obviously not. You did so many evil things outside, but after you are in prison, someone provides you with food and shelter. There is no such a cheap thing in the world."
Vivian slammed the blackboard, scaring Buggy and other pirates who were about to fall asleep so much that they were all startled and perked up again.
"So, I submitted an application to my superiors not long ago to reform the system. From tonight onwards, all prisoners in the city of Pushing Forward must participate in learning and work. Of course, you can refuse, but anyone who refuses will be sentenced to death, in order to reduce the expenses of the prison in the city of Pushing Forward."
These words frightened every prisoner in the classroom.
And you're going to say that Vivian made up what she said
Of course not.
He had submitted this application to the World Government through the relationship between Magellan and Smoker more than two months ago, when the school had just begun to be built.
As expected, as Vivian had expected, after seeing the detailed proposals Vivian had listed, and considering that this method could indeed save the world government a lot of money, the top government actually approved it.
Similarly, with this document approval, Magellan naturally didn't bother to care whether Vivian built or demolished a house on the sixth floor. As long as this guy didn't let the prisoner escape, he basically wouldn't interfere.
After all, just having diarrhea every day is hard enough. In addition, Yu Zhixi was rescued from prison while he was under his care some time ago. He is now very worried about what kind of punishment he will receive next.
"As for what kind of work you will do, I have already discussed it with Director Magellan and Deputy Director Hannibal. You will learn cooking, craftsmanship, winemaking, forging, and planting skills from me, etc..."
Vivian had already made plans. There were thousands of prisoners in the entire Push City prison, if not tens of thousands. It would be a waste of resources to keep such a large number of people in cages. It would be better to pull them out to work as "factory workers" and learn the prison system of the previous life. Let these guys work for income. Wouldn't this solve the funding problem in the future
The money he currently gives to the prison for construction and food expenses all comes from the 10% profit he gets from the Don Quixote family. However, this 10% profit is obviously not enough to supply both Kensanmia Island and Impel Down City at the same time, so Vivian came up with this idea to let the prisoners in the prison create income for them.
Anyway, he has the skills, and the prisoners can learn from him and improve their quality of life as a result, so why not do it
"Of course, you didn't learn these things in vain. We will provide you with appropriate rewards based on the 'output' and 'quality' of the goods you produce." Vivian continued.
"What's an appropriate reward?" an inmate asked, raising his hand.
"Food coupons, beverage coupons, cigarettes and alcohol, and ordinary clothes, shoes and socks are all within the scope of what can be provided."
As Vivian spoke, the eyes of all the prisoners present began to sparkle.
What do they eat every day
Although the ingredients were relatively fresh, the cooking skills of the chef who cooked for the prisoners were really hard to describe. Every time he cooked, the food was like pig food, which was really hard to swallow. I don't know whether the guy did this on purpose to punish them or his cooking skills were really just at this level. In short, when most people heard that they could order food and drinks at will, they couldn't sit still.
"I'll learn, I'll learn!"
"I'll learn too."
"Well, I love drinking the most. Let me learn how to make wine from you. I promise I won't drink secretly while brewing."
"Be quiet for a moment."
Vivian raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then continued: "Today's class is sword forging. You will follow me to the boiler room on the third floor and learn how to forge iron from me. When someone can forge a finished standard saber, it will be considered qualified. At that time, for every fifty sabers forged, you will get a meal coupon, and for every twenty sabers forged, you will get a drink coupon."
"Of course, cigarettes and alcohol are more expensive. If you play more than 200 games, you can come to me to exchange them."
After Vivian finished speaking, all the prisoners were eager to stand up from their seats and go up to the third floor immediately to learn blacksmithing from him.
"Don't be anxious, take your time. In addition to teaching you today, I also have to teach the prisoners on the third, fourth and fifth floors in batches..."
As for the remaining sixth floor...
Those vicious criminals with a bounty of hundreds of millions certainly have other uses.
...
So, more than half a month passed.
Blacksmith apprentices, brewing apprentices, carpenter apprentices, cook apprentices, and planting apprentices all started to get jobs.
Under Vivian's "gentle" guidance, many prisoners have been able to forge standard-issue sabers of just passing quality. Similarly, a group of carpentry apprentices led by Bucky, under Vivian's supervision, have begun to manufacture one small speedboat after another that can be stuffed into a warship.
In the future, Buggy may only be the captain of the ship repair team of Impel Down Prison and the head of the circus. The Joker King in the original book may no longer exist, but you can't deny that Buggy is so happy to eat the udon noodles cooked by Vivian after using the coupons.
While Vivian was busy leading a group of prisoners to plant flowers, trees and dig farmland in the open space around the villa.
Bang!
Accompanied by a loud bang.
The huge rock on the playground seemed to have finally been split apart by Zoro's palm.
