One Piece: Farming from the Rocks Era

Compared to the more mysterious realm of cutting iron, flying slashing, which relies more on strength and weapons, is easier to master.

"Now I am considered a qualified swordsman!" Linde said excitedly.

Originally, Lind thought that he might need to mutate into some kind of fruit that would improve his comprehension before he could comprehend the art of cutting iron. Unexpectedly, by chance this time, he was able to break through on his own without relying on any external objects.

In fact, relying on his strong mental strength, Lind had already reached the pinnacle of mastering various sword techniques. All he lacked was an opportunity.

Now that the opportunity has arrived, a breakthrough will naturally occur.

"It seems that my comprehension is still good. After practicing swordsmanship for less than three years, I have become a swordsman!" Lin De said with some complacency.

"With my current age and strength, I feel I can definitely compete for the title of the world's greatest swordsman." As Lind's heart was filled with infinite pride, his domineering aura burst out unconsciously.

This time, Lind's outburst of Conqueror's Haki has reached the level of John and the other two. Combined with Lind's telekinesis, physical skills and swordsmanship, Lind has officially reached the level of the vice-captain and reached the threshold of the admiral level.

"and this!"

As Lind spoke, he held Kunpeng and slashed at the air above, directly splitting the sky in half.

"Hahahaha, I finally mastered the domineering technique!" Linde laughed out loud, and his domineering aura improved a little bit.

"If I fight Zefa again now, I should be able to last a day without taking drugs, until Axel and the others finish the battle." Lind estimated his own strength in his mind and felt that he finally had the strength to suppress this area of ​​​​sea.

(This is just my personal setting. Combining the original work and many One Piece fan fictions I've read, I think the Four Emperors, Admirals, and Vice Admirals are the top admiral-level combat forces, with only the difference between the early, middle, and late stages.

Slightly weaker is the Quasi-Admiral level. Ordinary Three Disasters, normal-level Seven Warlords of the Sea, and Admiral candidates are at this level of strength.

In the original work, Vergo should be considered an upper-middle-level vice admiral, but he was killed in one move by Law, and then Law was crushed by Doflamingo. This shows that a normal-level Shichibukai is definitely one level stronger than a vice admiral of the navy.

But Doflamingo was bullied like that against the admirals and the Four Emperors, so this level of strength should be divided into a level, that is, the quasi-admiral level. Lind was at this level before. He could kill the vice admirals with ease, but he could only run away when he met the admirals.

Next up is the Vice Admiral level, the backbone of the sea, the Navy's elite Vice Admirals and Headquarters Vice Admirals, and those pirates with bounties of hundreds of millions are at this level.)

Chapter 38: Martial Arts Tournament and Promotion System

After returning to the manor, Lind wanted to hold a party to celebrate his breakthrough.

At the same time, it is also to distribute a wave of benefits, support the martial arts competition in a few days, and increase the enthusiasm of the subordinates.

This time, Linde plans to take out 150 bottles of Tiger Soul Wine to motivate his subordinates, 100 of which will be obtained through strength, and 100 champions will be selected through a ring competition.

The remaining fifty bottles will be selected by drawing lots for fifty lucky winners. Perhaps many ordinary pirates will become elite pirates because of this.

If someone is strong and lucky enough to obtain Tiger Soul Wine twice, Lind will directly give him two bottles.

No matter which world it is, the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker, and Lind is happy to focus resources on such talents.

Time quickly came to three days later, which was the time when the martial arts competition was to begin.

Although Linde currently has considerable power, it is actually no different from a makeshift team.

We are currently unable to host the kind of formal competitions that we had in our previous lives, which included qualifiers, knockout rounds, finals, resurrection rounds, and other complex mechanisms.

The competition format of this martial arts tournament is very consistent with the style of the pirate world, and the preliminary round is the same as the previous Beehive Island selection.

Thousands of pirates fought in a melee, and the few hundred people left were the elite team members.

The only difference from Beehive Island is that Lind is prohibited from killing here, and Lind and several cadres will rescue people in danger of life in time.

After the preliminary round comes the main competition, where the remaining hundreds of people draw lots to compete one-on-one until the top three are decided.

Compared with the previous life, this competition involves more luck factors and combat wisdom.

If you get lucky, you may pass the preliminary round by luck, and then your opponent in the main round will either be weaker than you or be injured and unable to participate.

Finally, he made it all the way to the finals and obtained the devil fruit.

Unfortunately, Linde does not have such a destined child under his command, and the final result of the martial arts competition is basically based on strength.

The ones who obtained the three devil fruits were also the team leaders under Lind.

It is worth mentioning that in the finals, both Phil and Hitt showed the strength of a rear admiral.

Lind believed that after the two of them ate the devil fruit and trained a little, they should be able to reach the level of a vice admiral of the navy.

In addition, the third place in the competition is a pirate who has just joined the Seventh Division - White Wolf Hot.

He is a pirate who has just passed the first half of the Grand Line and entered the New World. He is an ordinary animal-type White Wolf Fruit user and has a bounty of 52 million.

It has reached the threshold of a supernova in this era and was brought back by Axel when he went to sea.

(It is difficult to evaluate the strength of supernovas and vice admirals, so I will follow Drake’s situation. Drake was a rear admiral before he went to sea.

But Drake's strength is still relatively advanced among the supernovas, so I think the goalkeeper of the supernova should be the strength of a major general or a brigadier general)

After being persuaded by several officers, Hoth "voluntarily" joined the Linde Division.

Considering that Axel is the user of the fruit ability, his reward was given to Seide, who came in fourth.

As for Hott himself, Lind referred to the weapons of Uncle Wolf in his previous life and made a pair of wolf claws for Hott that were as good as a big sword.

Considering Holt's strength, Lind gave him two options.

Form a new team based on Hott's original team, or serve as Axel's deputy captain.

Apparently, most pirates in this world are still very sentimental.

After hearing the choice given by Lind, Hott chose the former without hesitation and established a new team with his former companions.

"Hahahaha, I support you. Valuing your companions is a valuable quality. I just want to ask if you need some reinforcements. The number and strength of your subordinates are still a little lacking."

On the training ground, Linde smiled and spoke to the young man in front of him who was about the same age as him.

As a pirate who has just been at sea for a year, and who came from all over the world, Hott's men are clearly not strong enough.

There were less than fifty people on the entire ship, most of whom were sailors of ordinary ability, and there were less than ten capable fighters (with a reward of one million).

"Hahahaha, thank you, boss. I have made a lot of friends during this month of training on Orland Island. Can I invite them to join my team?"

"Also, during this month of training on Orland Island, each of us has made great progress in strength. With the addition of the few people I invited, I believe we will be able to form the eleventh team!"

Hearing Lind's words, Holt's eyes lit up.

There is nothing to hide, which means that most people in this world are relatively simple, and Lind is not a suspicious person, and he has sufficient confidence in his own abilities.

If it were someone else, based on what Holt said, he might be suspected by the boss and get into trouble.

"Hahahaha, as long as you have confidence, I agree to your request. Don't let me down!"

Lind laughed, patted Hott on the shoulder, and let him select people to form the eleventh team.

After the martial arts competition, the structure of the Linde squadron was basically established.

The three forces of the elite squad, the ordinary pirate force, and the security team have all been formed and together form the armed forces under Lind's command.

The pirate promotion system of the Seventh Division has also been basically determined, except for the strong ones who are directly invited.

After joining the 7th Division, most pirates first enter the regular troops, and then if they perform well, they will be pulled into the elite team by several cadres.

Or they may be pulled into the security team when the security team needs to expand.

Then, when their strength reaches a certain level, they can become cadres, or become a member of a super elite force similar to a special forces that Lind may form in the future.

The troops under Lind's command have not stopped expanding and are still continuously recruiting people. The pace of recruitment will only be slowed down when they can meet the personnel needs of the vast sea areas where Lind is to be stationed.

The pirates who join later will be arranged according to this system, and there will be no more special events such as martial arts tournaments in the short term.

After the martial arts tournament, the newly joined pirates will receive different training due to their different identities.

There will no longer be the unified training like before. Pirates of different levels will receive resources and training of different intensities.

For example, some fruits like Dragon Banana, the quality level of the fruits that the elite team can eat is definitely higher than that of ordinary pirates.

At the same time, the training guidance of Lind and various cadres must be concentrated on the elite teams. Ordinary pirates may only give occasional guidance when Lind and others are in a good mood.

The same goes for the cadres. Whether it is the devil fruit, various magical fruits or Lind's guidance, these top-level resources will definitely be given priority to the cadres. Only after the cadres are satisfied will it be the turn of ordinary elite pirates.

This truly proves the saying that the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker.

Chapter 39 Farming and Training

After the martial arts competition, Linde resumed his stable farming life.

With tens of thousands of hectares of plantations, thanks to the efforts of Lind and Allison, most of the land is planted with various plants, the most common of which are the third and fourth generation Dragon bananas.

I have to say that Alison's growing fruit is indeed very powerful, plus bananas have a large seed yield.

With the help of the vitality durian that can restore physical strength, after the martial arts competition, it took Alison another half a month to cultivate enough dragon banana seeds to plant tens of thousands of hectares of land.

(I don't know the details, but a simple estimate is that 15 hectares is about 150 acres, and there are about 3000 banana plants per acre, so the protagonist's plantation will require about million seeds.

A banana can produce more than 1000 seeds, so Allison will need to grow about 3 bananas on 200 acres of land.

Refer to the coverage of Green Bull's Sen Sen Fruit. Even if the fruit consumes more energy and more seeds are needed to grow, a month in total, including the half month before the martial arts competition, should be enough.)

In order to ensure that the dragon bananas planted were within the fourth generation, Lind took Allison back to the deserted island where Lind landed to obtain enough second-generation seeds, which were the fruits of the first-generation dragon bananas.

Fortunately, Lind's mutation ability turned these banana trees into perennial plants. They can bear fruit every year like fruit trees, instead of withering after bearing fruit once.

With Allison's ability to induce fertilization, it is easy to obtain a large number of seeds.

Otherwise, if they withered directly after ripening once, even if Lind exposed his mutant ability, it would be impossible for him to grow such a large number of third and fourth generation dragon bananas.

Although the offspring of the Dragon Banana did not inherit this ability and are still annual plants, this turned out to be a good thing after having Allison's ability.

In this way, as long as Lind controls the mother trees on the island, he won't have to worry about seed leakage. After all, if the fruit cannot be produced continuously, after a few rounds of planting, the fruits produced will be similar to ordinary bananas.

After Alison produced enough seeds, Linde stopped exploiting Alison, even though Alison's abilities could still be used to speed up the ripening of fruits in the entire plantation.

After all, Linde was not that devilish. He left the rest to the farmers hired by Linde to plant and take care of the banana plantation and wait for the Dragon Bananas to ripen on their own.

As for the training of the pirates under Lind in the past few months, they can only rely on the meat of sea kings. The supply of dragon bananas will have to wait until a year later when they mature in large quantities.

Perhaps it was because Allison was more dedicated. Although Lind did not ask Allison to continue giving birth, Allison still gave birth to a batch of third-generation dragon bananas for the members of the elite team to use.

The cadres under Lind's command all thanked Alison and showed their courtesy. With the ability of Alison's fruit, she can be said to be the breadwinner of each team.

As long as we please Alison and get her to help produce enough dragon bananas, the strength of the entire team will definitely increase rapidly.

During the past half month, in addition to promoting the growth of seeds, Lind and Allison also made a breakthrough in a technology that was widely used in their previous lives, that is, seed processing technology.

After all, not all fruits are annual plants like the Dragon Banana, which can solve the problem of seed leakage through natural iteration.

For perennial fruits like durian, as long as a few second-generation seeds are leaked, the person who obtains the seeds can accumulate a considerable number of third-generation seeds through these second-generation seeds.
