One Piece: Farming from the Rocks Era

However, since Zhu Feng had already arranged everything, Zhu Ying was embarrassed to object. At worst, he could find time to celebrate alone with his friends later.

"Today, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate my nephew..."

With Linde and Zhang Tong deliberately keeping a low profile, Zhu Feng naturally became the host of the banquet and presided over the entire banquet.

"Everyone, this song is..."

With the presence of Zhu Feng and many socialites among the guests to liven up the atmosphere, the entire banquet was a great pleasure for both hosts and guests.

The dancers and musicians of the Kingdom of Flowers were a feast for the eyes for Linde and many of the cadres who came with him, and they loved them very much.

The protagonists Zhang Liang and Zhu Feng also met various ladies from prominent families at the banquet, and they almost couldn't help but agree to many marriage requests several times.

Fang Li, Han Yuan and other friends brought by Zhu Feng were even more happy and didn't want to leave. They felt that the boss kept his word and this ultimate enjoyment was definitely the first time in history for them.

"The boss is really loyal." Many people thought secretly in their hearts.

In particular, many people want to introduce potential partners to these people because of their potential, which makes them feel that Zhu Ying is like their adopted parent.

The lively scene reminded Lin De first of the Peach Banquet in Journey to the West, and then of the scene in the Hu Ji Tavern in The Longest Day in Chang'an.

For a moment, Linde felt that in this situation, he should compose a poem, hoping to take advantage of the wine and write a poem to bring the atmosphere to a higher level.

It just so happened that Linde still remembered the poem that Li Bai chanted in Hu Ji Tavern, which was quite in line with the current atmosphere.

Taking advantage of the alcohol, Linde suddenly stood up and snatched the pipa from the musician. The others didn't know what Linde wanted to do, so the scene suddenly became quiet.

Linde looked at the people who had stopped and shouted:

"Dancer, musician, don't stop, don't stop, dance with me!"

"Listen to me recite a poem!" Linde said as he jumped to the center of the venue, playing the pipa and dancing with the dancers.

"The zither plays the green tung tree at Longmen, and the jade pot of fine wine is as clear as an empty bowl."

As Lind recited the first sentence, all the guests held their breath, as if shocked by the grace from another world. Only the dancers and musicians were left to cooperate with Lind.

"I will drink with you while you play the strings and the pillars, and watch your red turn into green and your face turn red."

"The dancer is as pretty as a flower, and she smiles like a spring breeze while drinking."

"Laughing in the spring breeze, dancing in silk clothes, how can you go home if you are not drunk now?"

Just a few sentences shocked everyone present. This was not Lind's previous doggerel-like poem, but the real work of a big boss.

Everyone was so shocked that it took a long time for them to react, and the venue burst into warm applause.

Chapter 130 Green Peppers Go Out to Sea in Advance

"I've long heard that Captain Linde is a very talented writer. Seeing him today, I can see that his reputation is well-deserved."

"Captain Lind's demeanor is something you'll never see again! You'll never see again!"

As the applause died down, everyone present began to praise Lind, and for a moment Lind's limelight directly overshadowed the two protagonists of the banquet.

"That's right. Listening to Mr. Linde's poem, he seems more like a person from the Kingdom of Flowers than any of us here!" said a middle-aged man dressed in white Hanfu and dressed like a scholar.

"Hahaha, excuse me for laughing at you all. I couldn't help myself. Please forgive me."

When Lind heard the praise from everyone present, he immediately clasped his fists and responded with a smile.

At the same time, I also felt a little embarrassed. I didn't control myself and was a little drunk. I accidentally stole the limelight from the protagonist. The key point was that this poem of mine was plagiarized.

After returning the pipa to the female musician who was staring at him passionately, Linde hurried back to his seat.

"Hahaha, don't stop, keep playing the music and keep dancing!"

Linde returned to his seat, looked at the dancers and musicians who had stopped, and said with a smile that although he wanted to sing another song, the purpose of improving the atmosphere had been achieved, so he would not continue to steal the limelight.

The most important thing is that his two wives now look at him and the women around him with unfriendly eyes, so he doesn't provoke them.

The atmosphere of the banquet reached its climax because of Linde's poem, just as Linde said in the poem: If you are not drunk now, where would you go home?

Zhu Feng's imperial wine tastes quite good. In terms of taste alone, it is much better than the wine from Aland Island. It can be said to be the best wine that Linde has ever drunk.

I don’t know where Zhu Feng found this new winemaker from. When he first came to the Kingdom of Flowers, the wine that Zhu Ying used to entertain Linde didn’t taste this good, which made Linde want to poach him.

The banquet lasted until late at night. It was a completely different style from the pirate banquets that Lind often hosted, but Lind loved them both.

In this world where entertainment is scarce, hosting and attending parties is Lind's favorite form of entertainment.

Lind decided to train some musicians and dancers after he returned, and hold a banquet similar to today's in his own Longchen Garden to entertain his friends, so that guys like Whitebeard and Roger can broaden their horizons.

The next morning, Lin De bid farewell to Zhu Feng, Zhang Liang and others, as well as the cadres who planned to stay in the Kingdom of Flowers for a few days, and returned to Oran Island with the rest of the people.

Zhang Liang and Zhu Ying will also form a pirate group after resting in the Kingdom of Flowers for a few days and set sail from the port of the Wubao Navy.

Affected by this, Qingjiao, who was originally going to go out to sea for some time, plans to go out to sea ahead of time. Many naval leaders and young masters who did not plan to go out to sea also plan to form a pirate group to go out to sea.

I wonder what changes this many talented and capable people going out to sea will bring to the already bustling ocean.

However, these navy troops of the Flower Kingdom are both good and evil, and it is unknown which camp they will stand on. Their power will definitely affect the balance between the two camps.

Lind felt that he needed to make plans early, and to provide reinforcements to whichever camp showed weakness.

Just after the basic body-building technique was completed, the number of cadres under Lind continued to increase.

These newly added cadres can form pirate groups or join the navy through the Spark Project to balance the power of both sides.

Lind felt that he was really inflated. Even the World Government did not use this method to balance things. At most, they summoned the Seven Warlords of the Sea to maintain a superficial balance.

If Lind continues to act like this, maybe one day the navy and pirates will be more powerful than the World Government. I wonder if the World Government will be able to maintain its authority at that time.

As an aside, the Celestial Dragons are still hiding in Marijoa and dare not go out.

Although the Dragon Slaying Order has been released for some time, its popularity has remained quite high due to Lind's operations.

The Celestial Dragons are now the walking Baileys, and they are very easy to obtain. It is difficult to kill a pirate with a bounty of hundreds of millions, but it is very easy to kill a Celestial Dragon with a bounty of hundreds of millions.

The World Government cannot provide so many generals and lieutenant generals to serve as bodyguards for the Celestial Dragons.

A dragon-slaying order caused the authority of the Tianlong people to decline again and again, and even the last country-slaying operation was stopped for various reasons.

"I wonder how Kurds are doing now, and whether they have been killed by the World Government." Lind thought about the chaotic world situation and suddenly thought of Kurds who were targeted by the World Government.

This space-type devil fruit is really too buggy and has too strong mobility. Whoever possesses it will have an absolute initiative.

If the Kurds are not dealt with, Wu Laodeng will be unable to sleep or eat, fearing that one day Rocks will attack Mary Geoise again.

However, it is extremely difficult to capture the Kurds, especially since they are very vigilant and are very good at hiding. We have been trying to capture them for almost a year, but have yet to catch them.

Now there are voices within the World Government saying that regardless of Kurdishness, they should go directly to war with Rocks and let the Knights of God lead the three armies to plow the New World from beginning to end.

However, this view did not prevail. The Rocks Pirates, who possessed the Door-Door Fruit, were inherently invincible.

Beehive Island is not a good place. If Rocks can't defeat it, he can just run away and change the base at any time.

The main reason is that Rocks is too strong and cannot be defeated in a short period of time, even if all members of the Knights of God are dispatched.

If Kurd and Rocks cannot be fought immediately, Kurd can directly open the door to Rocks and take Rocks away.

Anyway, the Knights of God couldn't stop Rocks from entering the portal.

Rubbing his head, Lind stopped thinking about Kurdish affairs. According to the nature of world consciousness, it is unlikely that the two major camps will have a full-scale decisive battle before the Valley of Gods.

The Kurds should be able to survive until then. What we need to do is to take advantage of the last few years to improve our strength in order to deal with possible crises.

During the time that Zhang Liang was traveling in the Kingdom of Flowers, Lind had successfully completed the mythology system of the Oran Sea and began to promote it throughout the Oran Sea.

The first of several comic books has also been published through the World Economic News Agency, causing quite a stir and making Lind's already substantial assets even more substantial.

Now Lind is looking at all the Baileys under his command, but he can't spend them even if he wants to. He can only watch them depreciate, which is really painful.

In response to this, Linde decided to reverse history and frantically buy land all over the world like the ancient landlords in his previous life.

In addition to that, there is the purchase of properties. Lind has no interest in the six dark kings in the original book, Du Field's loan shark, Stussy's merrymaker, and Dorag Piercro's killer.

However, Linde doesn't mind getting involved in the remaining three areas of news, shipping and warehousing.

Chapter 131 Robert, Lazli, Lapis

In the current news industry, Lind has brought Morgans under his wing, established the World Economic News Agency, and leveraged the popularity of the Dragon Slaying Order to make it the most influential newspaper in the world.

Combined with the fact that Morgans can communicate with birds and Lind can use the Shenlong coconut to improve the IQ of birds, the position of the World Economic News Agency is probably difficult to shake.

In terms of shipping, the shipyard on Åland Island has developed quite well and has become one of the largest shipbuilding bases in the New World.

It’s just that because Lind has been expanding his troops in the past two years, most of the ships built have been supplied to the troops, and there are not many merchant ships used for trade and shipping.

In the past two years, Linde has been deeply engaged in Åland Island. Although he also attaches great importance to foreign trade, he only relies on his excellent products to let others purchase goods. Linde himself rarely develops caravans.

After all, Lind's identity is very sensitive, and the specialties of Orland Island are relatively valuable. If Lind organizes a caravan himself, he may be stopped by the World Government for various reasons.

Therefore, even if Linde has some shipping business, it is basically transportation between islands within the Aland Sea.

However, the Spark Project gave Lind a new idea, which is to wear a vest. No matter whether the vest will be exposed or not, it is always good to have a vest.

It just so happens that Lind has quite a few up-and-coming talents under his command. The 12 new generation elites who had distributed the devil fruits before are all capable of standing on their own, but they are not very famous yet, so someone can be found among them to be responsible for this.

This includes warehousing and even killer industries that you are not planning to engage in for the time being.

It is not easy to transfer the members of the Kunpeng team, and the captains of the elite teams are probably unwilling to release them.

So Lind planned to use the three students from Orland University directly and let them graduate early, since they couldn't learn anything in school anyway.

The only problem is that these three people now have great potential, but they lack experience and strength.

As for experience, it’s easy to deal with. Just send an experienced manager to be their deputy.

As for strength, just let them grow slowly on their own. With their powerful devil fruit abilities, the three of them now have the strength of vice admirals and above, which is enough in the early stages.

This will allow their strength to continue to increase as their power grows, and will also allow Lind to be better hidden behind the scenes.

Who would have thought that a top-level strongman who started from scratch was actually a hidden trick laid by Linde long ago.

"bang bang bang"

As there was a knock on the door, Lind put down the book in his hand and said with a smile, "Come in."

"Principal!" Robert, Lazli and Lapis spoke in unison after entering the room.

Looking at the three people's mature faces, Linde smiled and said:

"Long time no see, Robert, Lazili, and Lapis. I have been following your experiences during this period, and I am very satisfied with your growth."
