One Piece: Farming from the Rocks Era

At that time, after Lind received the devil fruit from other cadres on Beehive Island, he tried to use his mutation ability to mutate, but unfortunately it had no effect at all.

If the mutant fruit can really work on other devil fruits, it would be too perverted, unless he is the seed of the devil fruit tree.

"Well, it doesn't seem impossible." Linde suddenly fell into deep thought.

"When the time comes, we should ask Axel and the others and let them choose first. If they want to eat it now, they can eat it now. If they don't like it, they can wait until there are other devil fruit trees in the future!"

Why do I suddenly feel like I'm not like a boss, but rather like an old father who cares about his children? Linde realized that he was indeed too nice to his subordinates and complained secretly.

That night, Lind called the five earliest cadres including Axel and Larry into the room.

As for the other five captains, Lind planned to let them participate in the competition normally to stabilize their positions as captains.

"I think you have probably guessed why I called you here today. I have a batch of devil fruits in my hands now."

"In addition to the Devil Fruits that are given as prizes in the tournament, I plan to let you pick out some Devil Fruits first."

"Except for Liana, no one else has eaten a devil fruit. Eating it should significantly increase your strength!"

After Lin De finished speaking, although it was expected, several cadres inevitably became excited.

Looking at the few people whose breathing had become a little rapid, Lind nodded and continued:

"I need to say this in advance. Most of the devil fruits I have are ordinary animal-type devil fruits, and their potential may be limited."

"It's up to you whether you want to use it or not. Even if I don't find what you want this time, I will arrange for you to use it when I find suitable fruits later."

"Of course, even if it's an ordinary animal-type devil fruit, I have the confidence to train you to become strong people who can stand on their own."

"That's all I have to say. It's up to you to choose."

Lind looked at everyone who was lost in thought, and he was not in a hurry. He continued to introduce the eight devil fruits to them.

"Okay, these are the seven devil fruits in my hand. Axel, you get to choose first!"

After hearing Lind's words, Axel did not hesitate and directly chose the most powerful Steel-Steel Fruit.

As a pirate who fought his way up from a small gangster, Axel has changed a lot under the influence of Lind during this period.

But as a pirate, at such a critical moment, he would not have any idea of ​​being humble. In this world, strength is everything after all.

"Thank you, Boss. From now on, my life belongs to you. Even if you tell me to die, I won't blink an eye."

Axel held the Steel-Steel Fruit with an expression of disbelief on his face and thanked Lind.

After thanking him, he felt that words were not enough, and he even wanted to kowtow to Lind. If Lind had not stopped him in time, Axel might have really kowtowed to him.

The older the pirate is, the more he knows how precious the fruit given by Lind is, and how worthy of loyalty Lind as the boss is.

"Hahahaha, Axel, you don't have to be like this. You are my most important subordinate. The Seventh Division can't do without you. I also want to build a great career with you!"

"Okay, eat the devil fruit first and feel its power."

"Next is Alison, you come up and pick one too."

Lind encouraged Axel, then spoke to Allison and asked her to choose the devil fruit she wanted.

Chapter 33 Distribution of Devil Fruits

"Thank you, Boss. I'll choose this one then!"

After hearing what Lind said, Alison hesitated for a moment, but finally picked up the fruit of growth.

Although Alison is not clear about the ability of Lind's mutant fruit, she knows how important the ability to grow fruit is to Lind.

But sometimes women's intuition is really accurate. Alison's intuition told her that compared to the animal-type devil fruit, which she didn't like very much, choosing this growth fruit would definitely bring her surprises.

"Hahaha, you're welcome, Alison!"

"Although the Growth Fruit doesn't seem to improve combat power much, it is still a powerful devil fruit if developed well."

"I know a strong man who uses the power of plants to control a thousand-meter-long wooden man. He is not inferior to the Buddha of the Warring States Period."

Linde smiled and nodded to Alison, and also gave some encouragement.

As for making Allison play a greater role, Lind did not mention it for the time being, but only told Allison the potential of the growth fruit in combat.

Then Calvin chose the Snake-Snake Fruit - ancient type - Titan Python form, and Rex chose the Human-Human Fruit - normal type - Silverback Gorilla form.

His physical fitness has greatly improved, and his combat effectiveness has soared. With his physical fitness and physical skills, he has reached the level of an elite lieutenant general.

As for Larry, he refused the remaining Animal-type Devil Fruits on the grounds that he was not a fighter.

Lind didn't think much about it. After all, although Larry looked strong, his actual combat capability was much weaker than other cadres. He could barely be considered a brigadier general or major general.

In the Seventh Division, which is not short of combat power at this level, Larry's position is more like a management or auxiliary personnel rather than a combatant.

Lind also promised Larry that if he found a suitable parahuman devil fruit later, he would give it to Larry.

Finally, Lind looked at Liana and knew that he couldn't favor one over the other.

"Liana, you've already eaten a devil fruit, so the gift I prepared for you today is something else!"

After saying that, Lind took out a dagger and a pistol. Both weapons were very beautiful, gorgeous and casual.

"The name of this sword is Zhanlang. Like Kunpeng, it was made by me personally. The quality is not inferior to ordinary large and sharp swords."

"The name of the gun is the Water Strike, and it was made by me. It is definitely one of the best muskets in the world."

"How do you like it?" After Lind finished introducing them, he looked at Liana who was obsessed with the two weapons and smiled.

These two weapons were designed specifically for Liana by Lind, combining the aesthetics of his past and present lives and referring to many famous weapons.

Not only is he very powerful, but he also fits Liana's temperament very well. It can be seen that Lind has great potential to be a scumbag.

"Yeah, thank you so much, boss." Liana said excitedly while holding two weapons, unable to hide the joy in her eyes.

Speaking of which, Liana is still more aloof. If it were Alison, she would probably just kiss Lind on the face.

"Uh, Larry, don't look at me like that. Liana has already eaten a devil fruit and can't eat anymore, so I'm compensating her."

"As for you, even though I don't have a suitable devil fruit today, I will definitely give you one later."

Looking at Liana who was as excited as a little girl, Lind suddenly noticed Larry's eyes which contained three parts of resentment, three parts of ambiguity, three parts of understanding, and one part of doubt. He thought Larry might be thinking about something strange, and hurriedly began to explain.

It would have been fine if he didn't explain. As soon as he did, other people started looking at Linde with something strange in their eyes, especially Liana, whose face turned red instantly.

"Ahem, that's about it for today. We've distributed all the necessary items. When you go back, get familiar with your fruit abilities."

Linde paused, glanced at Liana, and continued, "And weapons."

After saying that, Lind left everyone in the conference room and quickly returned to the room alone.

Several other cadres did not stay in the meeting room for long. After nodding to each other, they left one after another.

In the eyes of these cadres, although Linde is a powerful, intelligent and charming boss, he is ultimately just a seventeen-year-old boy.

When doing things in daily life, it is inevitable that there will be some young people's working style. All I can say is, those who understand will understand.

It was precisely this kind of "youthful spirit" in Lind that they believed was so impressive that they were willing to assist Lind and help him create great achievements.

In the room, Lind looked at the remaining three ordinary animal-type devil fruits, two for dogs and one for a cat. Although they were not very powerful, they could still be used. They were just right as rewards for the top three in the tournament in half a month.

"If the three winners eat these three devil fruits, their strength should be greatly improved."

"It shouldn't be a problem for me to reach the level of major general, or even lieutenant general by then." Lind put away the three devil fruits and said to himself.

"If I go to the deserted island again, pick all the dragon bananas of various qualities on the island and use them to train my subordinates, my overall strength should be able to improve a lot by then."

"I planted quite a few bananas when I had nothing to do. Although the effect is a little weaker than the first generation, it is enough to train my subordinates."

"There is also Oran Island. We can also open up a lot of banana plantations there. The area of ​​Oran Island is much larger than the small island we just visited. By then, ordinary pirates other than the elite teams will also be able to eat them."

"Even if the production volume is large enough, it is not impossible to sell the fourth or fifth generation to the outside world."

"Then the first generation will be eaten by myself and the cadres, the second generation will be eaten by the elite pirates, the third and fourth generations will be eaten by the ordinary pirates, and the fourth and fifth generations will be sold to the outside world."

"Although I haven't grown the fourth or fifth generation of dragon bananas, based on the first, second, and third generations, each generation has a weaker effect than the previous one, so the fourth and fifth generations will be even weaker."

"The effect of the Dragon Banana originally relied on quantitative changes to achieve qualitative changes. It's not a fruit with particularly significant effects. If it's weakened a few more times, it may not be able to compare to the meat of the Sea King!"

Lind was sitting at the table, constantly thinking about future arrangements, and was so focused that he didn't notice Alison's arrival.

It wasn't until Alison walked over that Lind noticed there was someone next to him.

"Alison, you're here. Is there something wrong?" Linde stood up and asked Alison beside him.

"No, I just came to see you, boss, if there is anything I can do. As a secretary, isn't my job to always be by your side?" Alison answered Lind with a smile.

"Hahaha, that's perfect. I just happen to have something I need you to do."

A smile appeared on Linde's lips. He was just thinking about how to arrange the banana plantation when the owner came in person.

With Alison's management skills and her growing fruits, she can definitely manage the banana plantation well.

At the same time, the banana plantation, an important industry related to the overall strength of Linde's command, was handed over to Alison, Linde's most trusted confidant, which made Linde feel more at ease.

Chapter 34 Banana Garden

"Didn't I arrange for some land on Åland Island to be cleared for a banana plantation?"

"According to the time, we should be almost ready. Go check out the current construction status of the banana plantation tomorrow, and then arrange for people to plant the seeds of the dragon bananas!"

"It just so happens that you have eaten the Growth Fruit. During this time, you can familiarize yourself with and develop the fruit's ability by promoting the growth of banana trees."

"I'll give you the seeds tomorrow morning. I've sorted them into second, third, and fourth generation seeds."

"The effect is weaker than the first generation you ate before, and each generation is weaker than the previous one. You should also distinguish the regions when planting."

"As for the first generation, there are currently only a dozen mother trees on the previous island. There is currently no way to directly reproduce offspring through seeds."

"When the time comes, try to see if your ability to grow fruit works and see if you can grow fruit that is as good as the first generation."

Linde didn't know what it meant to be gentle and considerate to women. Without waiting for Alison to respond, he said a lot in one breath and assigned a job to Alison.

Noticing the change in Alison's expression, Linde knew that Alison might be unhappy, but this made Linde unable to help but say:

"By the way, during this time, you and Axel and the others should first familiarize yourself with the power of the fruit. Liana will handle the secretary work for the time being."

"You are such a dog." Alison complained silently in her heart. She had been staying with Linde for a while and was influenced by him a lot and learned a lot from him.

Compared to Linde, who is only seventeen years old physically and not much older mentally, Alison, who is thirty years old and has rich experience, is obviously much more mature. Alison can't hide Linde's little thoughts at all.

Linde didn't care about Alison's rolling eyes, nor did he know what Alison was thinking.
