It has been almost three years since I came to this world, and I have established a foundation and the ability to protect myself.

With the help of one's own connections, it is enough for one to barely survive in this dangerous world.

The only uncertainty now is the final catastrophe, as One Piece has never ended in the previous life.

Although everyone is speculating that the sea level will rise and submerge the world in the end, Lind cannot be sure if this is the case.

Even if this is the case, what will be the extent of sea level rise? Can I survive it?

What Linde can do now is to maintain a sense of crisis and continuously improve his strength. It is best not to pin his hopes on Nika and clear the level ahead of time if possible!

Chapter 21 Final preparations

Because today is the day to retrieve the Xiaoyao, it has important significance for both Lind and the Seventh Division.

So Lind did not arrange any training today. He planned to take the members of the Seventh Division to retrieve the Xiaoyao and have a good rest for a day.

At this time in the training ground, many people who arrived early had already consciously started various trainings.

After everyone arrived, Lind did not let everyone move freely as usual, but directly shouted loudly to the team members to gather in front of him.

Looking at the neat team in front of him, Linde paused and said:

"I have seen everyone's efforts during this period, and I am very satisfied with the progress made during this period."

"It just so happens that today is the day when our battleship Xiaoyao leaves the shipyard, so I plan to give everyone a day off and have a good rest!"

"If you want to go with me to greet the Happy, you can go to the shipyard with me later!"

"Those who don't want to go can do whatever they want. You can rest, continue exercising, or go to the pub for a drink. Today you have complete freedom of time!"

Looking at the excited expressions of the crowd, Lind also understood how uncomfortable the relatively strict management during this period was for these pirates who were pursuing freedom.

Although my strength has improved rapidly, constraints are still constraints, and I am not as free as before!

"The boss is mighty!"

"Long live the boss!"

"Boss, I want to go see the Getaway with you!"

"And I!"

As the voice fell, these pirates who originally seemed to have some discipline instantly returned to their nature and started to make loud noises!

Lind was not dissatisfied. After all, that was the nature of pirates. He had not established a country, so he did not need a disciplined army for the time being.

Now all I require of my subordinates is that they can fight!

Linde waited for a while before the scene gradually quieted down, but the excitement on everyone's face still did not subside.

"Very good, then if you want to see the Xiaoyao, come with me to the shipyard!"

After saying that, Linde took the lead and walked towards the shipyard.

Then all the members of the Seventh Division followed suit and did not choose to move freely.

In addition to the boss's majesty, it is obvious that most people are also interested in the Xiaoyao. In this world with few entertainment activities, it is more attractive to go and see the Xiaoyao.

In particular, Lind did not ask Rex and others to keep it secret. Not long after they came back last time, the entire team knew about the situation of the Freerider.

Everyone was very curious about the pirate ship that the captain had carefully designed, especially since it was the future flagship of their team.

When I saw the Xiaoyao again, it had changed a lot compared to last time.

The entire ship is painted in blue and white tones, and looks exceptionally beautiful under the sunlight. Combined with its streamlined body, it seems as if you can see it cutting through the waves.

Matching cannons have also been installed on various decks. Although Lind feels that for the strong people in this world, cannons have more symbolic significance than practical significance, the ferocious cannons do make the entire ship more domineering.

When we got on board, we found that all the cabins had been built, painted with corresponding paint, and simply decorated.

Even the shipyard's shipwrights thoughtfully built a lot of matching furniture, such as wooden beds, wooden cabinets, wooden tables, wooden chairs, etc.

It has basically reached the standard where it can be occupied. After some soft packaging and improvement of various facilities, it can be officially put into use.

Of course, these are things that Alison needs to consider. As the boss, she only needs to make demands.

I have to say that Alison does a very good job as a secretary. Usually, Linde can just assign any chores to Alison, so he can concentrate on improving himself and his subordinates.

"Master Yoel, thank you so much, this is definitely the best ship in the world!"

Lind was very satisfied with the transformation of the Xiaoyao and praised it generously.

"This is the final payment for the renovation of Xiaoyao, and a little gift from me."

Then, two boxes flew out from behind Lind, one box containing stacks of Baileys and the other containing six bottles of wine.

"These six bottles of wine are made from a magical fruit. Not only do they taste great, they also have the effect of improving your physical strength!"

As an agricultural student, Lind may not be good at cooking, but he has no problem making wine.

These wines were brewed by Linde when he was surviving on a deserted island. After all, after Linde's management, the output of the deserted island was relatively abundant, and Linde could not finish eating many of the fruits.

So Lind brewed it into wine and stored it. Now there are dozens of barrels of wine with various functions in the basement of Lind's house.

If it weren't for the influence of his past life's thoughts, Linde would have almost forgotten that he had such a huge fortune when he was thinking about giving something to Master Yoel.

"Hahaha, Captain Lind, you are so polite. This is what I should do!" Master Yoel was polite in his words but honest in his hands. He accepted Lind's gift without any hesitation.

"Hahaha, don't be jealous, you have some too. There's a banquet tonight and everyone can drink as much as they want!" Lind noticed the shining eyes of his men next to him and laughed.

"Okay, now that we are familiar with the Xiaoyao, let's take it out for a spin today!"

"Wuhu!"

"Listen to the boss!"

"Let's go!" Finally, under Lind's command, the Xiaoyao slowly sailed out of the port and headed towards the sea.

Soon, time came to the last day of the appointment with Rocks.

Because of Lind's generosity, everyone drank a lot of dragon blood (a fruit wine that Lind made from dragon bananas).

During these ten days, the strength of the Seventh Division has greatly improved again, completely exceeding Lind's expectations.

During these ten days, Xiaoyao also completed the final decoration and various tests, and the sailors in charge have become fully familiar with Xiaoyao.

Now, Linde has everything ready except going overseas.

Rocks also talked with Lind a few days ago about the arrangements for Lind, and arranged a large island as the base for the Seventh Division.

Lind's first mission when he goes out to sea tomorrow is to go to the Seventh Division's base to garrison, intimidate the pirates in that area, and strengthen the Rocks Pirates' rule over the New World.

Today is the final preparation before setting out to the base!

"Alison, how are the supplies for the sea trip being prepared?"

In Linde's villa, Linde and several cadres were having breakfast while discussing tomorrow's trip to sea.

"Don't worry, Boss. We have prepared enough food, water, ammunition, and various daily necessities. They can support the whole team for at least one month of sailing at sea!"

Alison, who had changed into a suit specially for today, answered beside him, making Lind feel like he was seeing a strong woman in a TV series in his previous life.

"Hahaha, very good, Alison, I'm confident in your work!" Lind was very satisfied with Alison's secretarial work and praised her generously.

"Axel, how about the brothers? Are you all ready to go out to sea?" After praising Alison, Lind turned around and asked Axel about the preparations of his subordinates.

"Don't worry, Boss. The brothers are very enthusiastic about going out to sea. The luggage has been packed and put on the boat!"

"After two months of training, the brothers have greatly improved their strength. Now everyone is eager to go out to sea and fight a battle to make our Seventh Division famous!"

As Axel spoke, he actually became a little excited.

Looking at the excited people, Linde laughed and was very satisfied with his subordinates' performance.

"Hahaha, today is our last day before we go out to sea, and we don't have any other plans, so you guys should take a good rest for a day!"

"Then see if you need to prepare anything. I see that each of your rooms on the Xiaoyao is quite empty, with nothing in them!"

Chapter 22 Going to sea

The next day, nine o'clock in the morning.

When Lind arrived at the port, all members of the Seventh Division had already arrived.

Lind didn't plan to send anyone to guard Beehive Island this time, and the Seventh Division didn't have any valuable property here.

Lind also plans to place the future focus of the Seventh Division at the base arranged by Rocks.

The 7th Division is based at the front of the New World, with Shiki on the left and right, at the border between the Rocks Pirates' control area and the Navy's control area.

Lind's purpose of going to the base this time was, on the one hand, to consolidate his rule and intimidate the surrounding pirates and kingdoms, and on the other hand, to help Golden Lion resist the pressure from the navy.

Both Lind and Golden Lion have the ability to control the flight of ships and are very flexible, making them very suitable for this kind of work. They can also run away directly if they encounter a naval siege.

Of course, although the garrison faces great pressure, the benefits are self-evident and there is definitely plenty of money to be made.

After all, a large part of the transactions between the New World, Paradise and the Four Seas now need to pass through Lind’s territories.

Whether it is collecting taxes or robbing, there will definitely be no shortage of wealth, and the kingdoms in the controlled areas are far richer than the kingdoms deep in the new world.

At the same time, this is also the first place the pirates of the Grand Line pass through after entering the New World. It is very easy to rob others or replenish your subordinates.

The only thing you need to consider is that if you want to better control the surrounding areas, in addition to your own strong strength, you will definitely need a lot of manpower. After all, there are still many brainless pirates.

Every important island needs to have some personnel stationed to guard against pirate invasions.

Rocks arrived just a short while after Lind arrived at the port. As for the other squad leaders, they had already gone out to sea before Lind, either to carry out missions or to stay back at their base.

"Hahahaha, Lind, it looks like you are all ready!" Rocks was in a very good mood looking at the high morale of the Seventh Division. He greeted Lind with a big laugh before he came up to them.

"Your mission this time is not easy. Although there are no strong ones, it is not easy to intimidate such a large sea area!"

"You can't be as soft-hearted as before this time. Those guys must have enough blood to be a deterrent!"

Obviously, because Rocks had never seen Lind kill anyone, he was worried that Lind was not ruthless enough and could not intimidate the evildoers in the territory.

"Hahaha, don't worry, boss. I'm quite afraid of trouble. I will never waste time talking to them if I can take action! I dealt with those navy officers before just because it was troublesome. Don't forget, I'm also a pirate!" Lind's expression remained unchanged, and he explained to Rocks with a smile.

Lind felt that he was more proficient in fists and feet than complicated political tactics, if his telekinesis couldn't intimidate those guys.

Although Lind doesn't like killing people, Kunpeng and Lan Qiu are just as sharp as Ying Shikumu.

"Hahahaha, then I don't have anything else to say! I hope everything goes well for you this time, and don't let me down!"
