Katakuri and the others thus began their glorious lives of labor reform.
To be honest, the Revolutionary Army had not assigned them easy work.
No matter the era, the world, or the country,
quarrying stone had always been the most difficult and troublesome job.
Whether they had gunpowder or electric drills, humanity's tiny bodies were only truly put into perspective when faced with nature's miraculous handiwork.
Perhaps Akainu and the others could destroy an entire island.
But if they were asked to quarry stone, it would still be both a technical and physically demanding task.
The same applied to Katakuri and his brothers.
The Revolutionary Army had not made things difficult for them. They had left behind extremely sturdy chisels and hammers, clearly intending for them to use a very traditional quarrying method.
In fact, many people still used it even in modern times, except they replaced chisels with drill bits, bored holes into the stone, and then split it apart.
An even more ancient method involved driving stone, wooden, or iron wedges into cracks in the rock, continuously applying pressure until the stone was forced to split on its own.
That was the method used in ancient times.
The Revolutionary Army had an enormous demand for stone. Whether crushed stone was used as aggregate in concrete or large blocks were directly made into building material, all of it was needed by the Revolutionary Army.
The reason humans fired bricks was not because stone could not be used, but because quarrying stone was simply too expensive.
Bricks were different. Clay, which could be found everywhere, was undoubtedly humanity's cheapest building material.
Large stone blocks had other uses as well. They could be cut into slabs and turned into valuable decorative materials. Even if they were not marble, ordinary stone slabs
