One Piece: Farming from the Rocks Era

With this in mind, many pirates gave up on competing for supremacy in the New World and went to other waters to live a good life.

......

The chaos in the New World has little to do with Lind. Compared with the middle and back ends of the New World, these are territories where Rocks has stronger control.

The territories of Linde and Shiki, located at the front of the New World, have always been quite stable, without many disputed areas or unclaimed lands.

As long as Lind does not actively expand, other captains will not attack Lind's territory. After all, family members know their own business.

They all hope that Lind will be at the front of the New World to resist the attacks of the Navy and the World Government.

This important task can only be undertaken by Linde, who has been quietly developing his power and has a large number of soldiers and generals, and Shi Ji, who has plundered everywhere, recruited talents, and has a relatively strong power.

The other squad leaders may not be much worse in strength, but they are indeed lacking in power.

Without the disturbance of other former colleagues, the World Government and the Navy were also recuperating, so Lind focused his attention on the reform during this period.

The original Seventh Division is definitely gone, as Lind will completely transform it into an independent force.

The name of the Lind Army was directly transmitted to the whole world through the newspapers of the World Economic News Agency, announcing Lind's independence.

The original organization did not change much. After all, although the Seventh Division was nominally a division under Rocks, it was actually quite independent, and most of its organization was established according to independent forces.

In addition to changing the original thirteen teams into thirteen divisions, the original ordinary pirates were completely integrated.

Originally, the ordinary pirates followed various elite teams according to needs. After the reorganization, these ordinary pirates will also have a formal organization.

After all, the original name was Elite Squad, and only elite pirates could join it. It is impossible for a team to have tens of thousands of people.

With the squad organization, it is much easier to arrange the number of people, and it sounds more natural.

There will be no more elite teams after this, or in other words, the only elite team in the future will be the Kunpeng team.

The original elite teams will be expanded into independent teams capable of carrying out military missions independently, with high-level combat power, elite combat power and ordinary combat power.

Members of the original elite squad can become officers or elite troops under the squad according to their interests.

After the reorganization, each squadron now has over ten thousand people, and each one of them is a top-notch large pirate group.

Even if the captain's strength was not a little bit weaker, they would not be weaker than super pirate groups with insufficient foundation such as Kaido's Beast Pirates and Kozuki Oden's Samurai Pirates.

That is to say, because Lind owns the Oran Sea and has it firmly under his control, and has developed well, he can support such a large force.

In the original work, Whitebeard's territory is definitely much larger than Lind's current territory, but because Whitebeard does not know how to manage it, he does not have enough control over the territory.

Even after risking their lives, they only managed to recruit tens of thousands of pirates, and they couldn't even pay their salaries, so their lives were extremely difficult.

Because of Lind's reorganization, the power of each squad leader has expanded several times, and the strength requirements have also increased a lot. At least an ordinary elite lieutenant general is unlikely to be able to hold on to the position of squad leader.

At the very least, he has to be a quasi-admiral-level warrior like the Three Disasters in the original novel.

In order to motivate these original squad leaders and also to give other cadres some motivation, Lind decided to change the squad leaders of the thirteen squads every five years.

The strong go up and the weak go down.

Of course, the captains of the first team were still the captains of the original thirteen elite teams, and Lind also made requirements for them.

If you cannot break through to the rank of Lieutenant General within two years, then there is no need to wait until the five-year change of leadership. Just let someone with sufficient strength take over.

Lind has already given them opportunities and invested luxurious resources in them. Few people have enjoyed Lind's mutant abilities, let alone an enhanced version with devil fruit energy.

If they can't even defend their position, then Linde has no other choice. This world is so cruel and strength is respected.

Chapter 170: Three Institutes, Nine Departments, Thirteenth Division

As the power of the thirteen squad leaders increased, their workload also increased dramatically.

Originally, these captains only needed to manage their elite teams and had little to do with ordinary pirates.

But now, every squad leader has to actually be in charge of a force of tens of thousands of people, including training, garrison, mission execution and many other matters.

Many squad leaders who also hold other jobs will probably find it difficult to continue holding multiple positions and will have to make a choice at work.

Either give up the position of squad leader and concentrate on managing a department, or hand over the management of the department to others and concentrate on managing the squad.

Some ordinary management jobs are okay, but I’m afraid of those highly professional jobs.

For example, Allison has to manage the Fifth Division and the Agricultural College at the same time, and also serve as the head of the logistics department.

Linde has no good solution for this. He can let the logistics department continue to be in charge, and just let the College of Agriculture find a scientist to be the dean.

When Allison is needed for some scientific research work, she comes as usual.

As for the Fifth Division, they definitely cannot let go, as these are the most powerful positions on Orlando Island. They can only give more responsibilities to Alison's adjutant and help Alison handle some daily work.

The same goes for other squad leaders. Except for the crucial department such as logistics, which they still have a nominal position in, all other departments are handed over to other people so that they can concentrate on the work of the squad.

This can also be considered as making room for newcomers.

After several months of reorganization, the Lind Corps basically formed a structure of three institutes, nine divisions and thirteen squads.

The Third Hospital is basically the most core department under Linde, and the heads are:

Executive Yuan: Larry

Academy of Sciences: Asa

Military Affairs Council: Axel

The nine departments are the nine most important departments that Linde and his subordinates considered after discussion. The heads are:

Ministry of Agriculture: Linde

Ministry of Industry: Liana

Commercial Department: Zhang Yang

Logistics: Alison

Sheriff's Department: Rex

Infrastructure Department: Lin Yong

Ministry of Education: Alan

Intelligence Department: Da Kun

Publicity Department: Morgans

In addition to the nine ministries, there are also departments of various sizes, such as the Ministry of Fire Protection, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Taxation, Ministry of Household Registration, and Ministry of Supervision, with varying degrees of power.

However, due to its inferior strategic position, the department head was not one of Linde's earliest team members.

Although they are equally important, their status is still a little lower. At least when Linde holds a small meeting, he is unlikely to invite the leaders of these departments.

Most of the heads of these departments do not report directly to Linde, but are managed by the State Council.

Finally, there are thirteen squads. The current captains of the thirteen squads are:

First Division: Axel (Steel-Steel Fruit, Lieutenant General)

Second Division: Liana (Thunder Fruit, Lieutenant General)

Third Division: Calvin (Titan Python Fruit, Lieutenant General)

Fourth Division: Rex (Hellhound Fruit, Lieutenant General)

Fifth Division: Alison (Growth Fruit, Lieutenant General)

Sixth Division: Phil (Frost Frost Fruit, Lieutenant General)

The Seventh Division: Hit (Iguanodon Fruit, Lieutenant General)

The Eighth Division: Ford (Emperor Crocodile Fruit, Elite Lieutenant General)

Ninth Division: Saiken (Eoraptor Fruit, Elite Vice Admiral)

The 10th Division: Sai De (Terror Turtle Fruit, Elite Vice Admiral)

Eleventh Division: Hott (Werewolf Fruit, Lieutenant General)

Twelfth Division: Hillary (Blood-Blood Fruit, Elite Vice Admiral)

Thirteenth Division: Lacey (Camel Spider, Elite Vice Admiral)

The strength of the thirteen squad captains is still very good. The weakest ones are at the peak of elite lieutenant generals, and most of their fruit abilities are also quite good.

Although he is not yet at the general level, he has a promising future.

With the secret manuals and training resources provided by Lind, at least everyone can reach the level of the Three Disasters in the original work, and the breakthrough time will not be long.

Linde set the deadline of two years, which shows his confidence in his subordinates as well as his confidence in his own training.

It is worth mentioning that there may really be such a thing as destiny in this world. The captain of the 11th Squadron, White Wolf Hott, actually found a devil fruit that suits him while traveling.

And it's a mythical beast species that looks pretty good. You know, Lind just wanted these captains to try their luck at the beginning, but he didn't expect it to actually work.

Considering White Wolf Hott’s age of over 20 years old, Lind has already seen a future admiral-level warrior.

There are more than a dozen team leaders in these departments, plus some core members of the Kunpeng team such as Zhang Liang and Raditz, which basically constitute Lind's core team in the short term.

Sometimes, luck and timing are really important. If you come late, you won’t have a position.

To be honest, there are many people in the Linde Army who are comparable to or even better than the heads of these core departments that Linde has set up now, in terms of talent and ability alone.

At least the twelve devil fruits that Lind had given away before, the owner of each devil fruit could be said to be one in ten thousand, or even one in a million.

After all, the Oran Sea area that Lind was in charge of before had a population of more than 30 million, and now it has reached 50 million.

The twelve geniuses who stood out from such a large population are absolutely top-notch in all aspects.

At least compared to the pirates who followed Lind in the early days of his business, they are definitely a complete winner.

After all, when Lind first formed the Seventh Division, among the 100 members he obtained, the strongest one, Axel, only had a bounty of tens of millions.

Captains at the lower ranks like Hill and Fate are even more mediocre. Without Lind's support, if they had stayed in the Rocks Pirates, they might have been ordinary cadres with the rank of major general at best in their lifetime.

Maybe he will die in a war one day.

As for Feng Yan and the others, it can be said that even without Linde's support, if they had followed the plan all the way and did not die prematurely, they would at least be elite lieutenant general-level strongmen like the Flying Squirrel Ghost Spider.

If you are lucky enough, you can become a powerful quasi-admiral like Doflamingo or Boa Hancock who dominates a region.

But now, most of the core members of Lind's Legion are old people with "average talents". Feng Yan and Raditz were able to join because of their close relationship with Lind.

Although Lazili, Lapis and others who are far away in the West Sea will definitely be able to enter Lind’s core layer in the future, haven’t they not entered yet?
