One Piece: Farming from the Rocks Era

"Alison, you should try it too. The cooking skills of the owner of this shop are really good. I want to become his apprentice and learn from him!"

After all, Linde is a self-taught person and has not received systematic training in cooking. Although the dishes he cooks taste good, there are still many deficiencies and there is much room for improvement.

"Wow, this tastes amazing!" Alison exclaimed as she took a bite of the sweet and sour pork that Lind gave her.

"Hahahaha, beautiful lady, is your boss busy now? Is there a chance for us to meet?"

After tasting a few more bites of other dishes, Lind was even more satisfied and really wanted to meet the owner of the restaurant and get to know him.

"Hahahaha, since Lord Linde wants to see me, I will definitely have time no matter how busy I am!"

As soon as Linde finished speaking, a deep voice came.

Following the direction of the voice, I saw a middle-aged man over two meters tall and with a strong build walking into the box.

Obviously, to be able to open such a special restaurant in Port Oran, one must have sufficient strength and sources of intelligence.

Zhang Yang noticed Linde as early as after Linde entered the restaurant, and had been keeping an eye on Linde and his group with his observation Haki.

After Linde expressed his desire to meet him, he dropped what he was doing without hesitation and came to see Linde.

You have to know that Lind is a ruthless man who defeated Zefa and captured two vice admirals. Even though Hack feels that he has some strength, he dare not neglect a big shot of this level.

"Master Linde, I am the owner and head chef of this restaurant. Zhang Yang, all the dishes on your table are made by me."

"It's a great honor to receive your recognition!" After Zhang Yang came in, he saluted Lin De and introduced himself respectfully.

"Hahahaha, Mr. Zhang Yang, you don't have to be so polite. Just call me Linde or Captain Linde. Let's sit down and have something to eat together. We can talk while we eat."

Lin De was still a little uncomfortable with Zhang Yang's respectful attitude, so he quickly invited Zhang Yang to sit down with him.

"Hahahaha, thank you Captain Lind, then I won't be polite with you." After hearing Lind's words, Zhang Yang did not insist and sat directly next to the big Kun that had turned into a human form.

Apparently, as a former pirate, Zhang Yang was not very used to all kinds of polite words.

"Mr. Zhang Yang, I am very interested in your dishes. Do you have time to instruct my chefs?"

Linde didn't say anything polite and directly stated his purpose.

As the owner of Orland Island, although Lind doesn't put on airs, it would inevitably put unnecessary pressure on Zhang Yang if he asked Zhang Yang to teach him directly.

Anyway, for Lind who has telekinesis, when Zhang Yang was teaching Lind's chefs, Lind could easily learn Zhang Yang's cooking skills by secretly learning from them.

“Hahahaha, Mr. Linde, don’t worry, I still have time. The dishes for ordinary guests are prepared by other chefs.”

"I am free most of the time, and only distinguished guests like you will cook for me personally."

"As for what you said about guiding the chefs under your command, I am very happy and it is my honor!"

When Zhang Yang heard Linde's request, he agreed without hesitation and did not mention the compensation. He believed in his intuition that Linde would definitely pay him a satisfactory compensation.

"Hahahaha, let's put it this way, Mr. Zhang Yang. I will arrange for someone to discuss this matter with you later. I believe you should know several of the cadres under my command."

Lin De was very happy to hear Zhang Yang's answer and nodded with satisfaction.

In the afternoon, Lind did not continue his incognito visit.

During lunch, Lind also used his telekinesis and observation Haki to listen to the conversation of the guests in the restaurant.

Larry has done a good job over the years. He has maintained a good balance among all forces on the entire Orland Island. With the joint efforts of all forces, Orland Island has been in a thriving state.

Especially since Orland Island does not have to pay heavenly gold, and there is not so much messy oppression from nobles, the living conditions of civilians on Orland Island are also pretty good.

In this world, an island where the safety of civilians' lives and living conditions can be guaranteed is definitely a paradise.

In addition, all parties are now trying to control their own forces and dare not cause trouble, so it is of no use for Linde to continue his incognito visits.

Lind felt that the Port of Aland was fine as it was. After taking over other cities on Aland Island, Lind would have a stable rear base.

What Lind can do now is perhaps to learn from the experience of his previous life and encourage all parties on Aland Island to develop science and technology and economy, establish modern enterprises, and modernize Aland Island.

In particular, Lind has the power to suppress everything and does not need to worry about losing control. He can completely rely on force to balance the interests of all parties and achieve a win-win situation for Lind, all forces, and civilians.

However, all these things have to be done slowly, and Linde needs to discuss and study them carefully with the cadres first. If possible, Linde also hopes to find an economic talent to take charge of the operation.

Linde sat in the room, constantly thinking about the future arrangements for Aland Island.

"Maybe we can intercept the World Government's transport ships and kidnap some economic and political prisoners to develop Orland Island." Lind muttered to himself.

"Oh, I don't know where to start. I have no experience in this area, and I don't even understand the theory. I can only go by my feelings based on what I have seen in my previous life!"

Linde scratched his head, feeling a bit overwhelmed. It was the first time he realized how troublesome it was to be a boss, especially when he didn't have a top manager to help him.

Although Alison, Axel and Larry are all good management talents, for a big force, except for Larry, the other two are still a little lacking.

Although it can also be used to manage Orland Island, it is still too difficult for them to develop Orland Island into a modern island like in the previous life according to Lind's wishes.

Chapter 30 Control of Oran Island

It was around five in the afternoon and the sun was just beginning to set on Åland, the summer island.

Although the sun is still scorching, it is much milder. Especially since Aland is a port city, this time is most suitable for outdoor activities.

With no other plans, Linde, accompanied by Alison, began to walk around the palace complex where he was.

By the way, take a look at how to transform it into your favorite style.

Linde really couldn't appreciate the current chaotic state.

If possible, Lind would very much like to transform it into a Chinese-style garden like the Old Summer Palace and the Summer Palace, so that he can live and work there.

It just so happens that the area covered by this complex is quite large. Although it is slightly smaller than the Old Summer Palace and the Summer Palace, it is more than one square kilometer, which is enough to build a fairly large garden.

He just didn't know where to find a suitable designer and construction team, and Lind felt that he would probably have to make a trip to the Kingdom of Flowers.

It just so happens that the doctor that Axel mentioned is in the West Sea, and Calvin is also from the Kingdom of Flowers. When the time comes, he can go and look for any outstanding architectural designers.

"Alison, have Axel and the others sent any news? Have those forces been dealt with?"

Lind was taking a walk and saw Alison answering a phone call, so he asked.

"Yes, Boss. Axel and the others have already dealt with everything and are on their way to us."

Alison put away the Den Den Mushi, returned to Lind's side, and spoke.

"Hahaha, that's good. Our requests are not high. If you still don't know what's best for you, it would be a bit too much!" Linde nodded and laughed.

"We've almost finished our tour now, let's go back now. Tell Axel and the others to go directly to the meeting room when they come back."

In the conference room, Linde listened to several of his subordinates report on today's situation, nodded with satisfaction and smiled.

"Very good, well done. As usual, each person gets a bottle of Angel's Heart and a bottle of Tiger Soul Wine." Linde waved his hand and gave out his rewards.

Tiger Soul Wine is the wine that Lind gave to Master Yoel before and used to improve the strength of his subordinates. Lind had never paid much attention to it before, and only recently named the wine.

During the past two years, Lind was alone on the deserted island and there was no chance of him getting hurt. Naturally, he had no use for the Angel's Heart, so Lind saved them all.

Although Tiger Amber Wine was also useful, because Lind had no addiction to alcohol before and he made wine to avoid waste, he basically never drank it, so there was still a lot left.

Precisely because of the abundant inventory, Linde did not feel sorry for giving rewards. It was definitely a good deal for Linde to easily win people's hearts with a few bottles of wine.

“Oran Port has been dealt with, and now it’s Oran Island.”

"According to what Larry introduced before, there are four cities on Aland Island besides Aland Port."

"They are Aoxi City, Beilan City, Nanhai City, and Ningshan City, located in the west, north, south, and center of Aolan Island respectively."

"Tomorrow, Axel, you will go to Ossi City, Liana, you will go to Beilan City, and Rex, you will go to Nanhai City."

"Then arrange for Phil and Hitt to take Da Kun to Ningshan City. With their strength, it should be enough."

"Calvin, you will be stationed at the prison tomorrow, and Larry, you will be stationed at Oran Port to handle any emergencies!"

"Alison, you will come with me to meet the Navy tomorrow. The Navy has set the time for redeeming the prisoners for tomorrow morning. You should prepare in advance."

Lind told the arrangements for each cadre for tomorrow bit by bit, as if he was going to take over Orland Island within a day.

This is indeed the case. Orland Island was Rocks' territory before. Now he has just changed his direct superior. He should continue to be submissive.

Those who stayed on Oran Island were all forces of average strength. The truly powerful pirates, even if they did not surrender to Rocks, were occupying islands outside Rocks' territory and claiming to be kings.

These forces in Oran Port can be easily controlled with the strength of a few cadres. Even for the weakest Ningshan City, it is only necessary to send Da Kun and two reserve cadres.

Phil and Hitt are the two strongest people except for a few cadres. Previously, the two led other ordinary members to fight against three navy commanders with the strength of vice admirals.

He is barely qualified to be an ordinary squad leader, and is now considered a reserve leader of the Linde squad.

If the two perform well this time, Linde plans to promote them to reserve cadres when they come back.

There are quite a few who are also reserve cadres, but they still have to line up as we don’t need so many cadres right now.

When you conquer other islands later, you can slowly give your subordinates opportunities to make merit and get promoted.

Time soon came to the next day.

Early in the morning, several cadres led their respective teams and headed straight for the target.

In this world where humans are incredibly physically powerful, Lind's men don't need transportation.

The distance of one or two hundred kilometers can be covered by running directly or even flying over using the Moon Step with strong physical fitness.

"Very good! It looks like we'll get good news soon!" Lind nodded with satisfaction as he felt the teams leaving in all directions.

"The navy won't be here for a while, so let's read a book first!"

Back in the room, Lind picked up a book about swordsmanship and started reading.

With Lind's strength, ordinary training can only bring little improvement. Only the stimulation brought by fighting with strong opponents can make his strength improve rapidly.

As a result, Lind has now reduced his daily exercise time and spent more time reading, resting and enjoying life.

For Lind now, reading various training manuals and learning from others' experiences can actually bring greater improvements in strength than normal training.

Throwing out various cheating fruits, in terms of the effect of improving strength, actual combat>sparring>reading>training.

After reading for about two hours, Lind's Den Den Mushi suddenly rang. It was Zephyr.

"Linde, I'm going to Aland Island soon, don't forget our agreement!"

After the call was connected, Lind only heard Zefa say one sentence, and then Zefa hung up the Den Den Mushi.

It can be seen that Zefa is still angry about what happened before.

Soon, Lind, Alison and Calvin arrived at the port with the captured navy.

At this time, Zefa was already waiting at the port. It must be said that Zefa was indeed a skilled and courageous man, daring to come directly to the pirates' base to redeem people.
