Because his body structure differs from that of the people in the world of One Piece, this means that Lin's efficiency in strengthening his body through exercise is far less than that of the natives here.
Thankfully, he possesses the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, allowing him to temper his body through lightning.
When he first transmigrated, Lin waited for a long time, but no matter how long he waited, the system's 'Ding' never came.
Just as he reluctantly continued implementing his rule over Skypiea, his interactions with Conis brought him a pleasant surprise, as their relationship deepened, he could personally feel the changes in himself.
He sensed that his physique was slowly getting stronger.
After studying with the various women on Skypiea, he found that only Conis had this effect.
From this, Lin speculated that perhaps only by deep interactions with the heroines or female supporting characters of the World of One Piece could he trigger the ability to enhance his body.
In other words, collecting female characters like stamps.
The deeper the bond with them, the stronger he would become...
Up until now, with Conis' help, Lin could already use basic Armament Haki.
However, its power isn't as great as a single finger from his Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
It can, however, be used to surprise other Loga-type users.
Back to the present.
The female angel beside Lin, noticing that he had lost his appetite, said respectfully: "God, the Shandia Tribe submitted their letter of surrender yesterday, and they are awaiting your instructions."
Lin's expression was indifferent. "Tell Shura to wait for me at the shrine."
Shura, Satori, Ohm, and Gedatsu were once the four great priests serving Enel.
Suffering from Enel's oppression, they all had some mental problems.
However, Enel is dead.
Under Lin's electrotherapy, their symptoms have improved considerably.
Lin has a wide range of interests and has learned a wide variety of subjects. The art of ruling subordinates is also part of this.
Under his suppression, the four great priests were brought under his wing and began to serve him wholeheartedly.
The people of Skypiea were mostly soft-hearted.
They had no say in the succession of the Gods.
They could only pray that the new God would be merciful and allow them to live a good life.
So, facing Lin, they submitted without resistance.
The Shandians, on the other hand, had harder temperaments.
As long as they didn't attack Upper Yard, Lin had no time to bother with them.
He still had to practice daily to become stronger!
Furthermore, whether Skypiean or Shandian, in Lin's eyes, they were all valuable laborers who could dedicate their lives to him.
Any death would be a loss.
He only needed to focus on developing his forces.
The Shandians would naturally envy the treatment of the people of Skypiea.
In the end, they submitted to his rule.
And here they were...
Upper Yard, the shrine.
Shandia Chief stood quietly at the foot of the main hall, awaiting the emperor of the Divine Kingdom with Wyper beside him.
Yes, Lin was both the God of this Divine Kingdom and the Emperor.
Under Lin's rule, the Divine Kingdom was now different from Enel's.
The people here valued soil as a precious commodity.
The Shandians and the people of Skypiea had waged a 400-year-long war over it.
Lin, deeply respectful of the local culture and customs, issued a decree: "Any citizen of the Divine Kingdom may pay a high rent to rent a small plot of land outside of Upper Yard, where they can live."
The people of Skypiea were ecstatic.
They even accepted Lin's rule more fully.
But the Shandians, however, still could not let go.
Upper Yard was their homeland; why should they share it?
Still, in the end, they submitted.
With a flash of lightning.
Lin appeared on the throne in the hall.
He looked at the bowing old man with a half-smile.
"Your Majesty, we have decided to submit to the rule of the Divine Kingdom."
"The young and strong men of our tribe will apply to serve as divine soldiers, divine guards, and work as cloud workers in the cloud-collecting fields..."
Shandia Chief, upon seeing Lin's arrival, hurriedly spoke respectfully.
His aged face darkened even more after these words.
"You should have done this long ago. Why are you so stubborn?"
"I'm not as cruel as Enel. As long as you honestly contribute in your posts and live peacefully, wouldn't that be far better?"
Lin's voice was calm.
The implication was: 'Wouldn't it be better to submit sooner and enjoy the benefits sooner?'
"Your Majesty, this is the list of divine attendant from the Shandians."
Just then, Shura placed the list on a sandalwood tray.
A female angel beside him lovingly lifted the tray while another angel grabbed the list and opened it for Lin.
Raki… She's quite good-looking, with a cool, elegant face.
She gives off a mature, dignified aura.
Lin looked at the name and portrait, and his mind flashed back to information about her.
It seemed he could grow stronger again.
But Lin wasn't satisfied. He asked unhappily: "Why is there only one person?"
"In the name of the great warrior Kalgara! We are absolutely not being perfunctory, Your Majesty!" Shandia Chief replied hurriedly.
"Young ladies among our tribe are too rare, and even fewer meet Your Majesty's requirements."
"Only Raki can meet the requirements. She's a leader among our young generation and will surely satisfy Your Majesty."
Shandia Chief was helpless. Lin's standards were too high.
If it weren't for a beauty like Raki, he wouldn't even have been able to meet the request.
"Well, according to the terms I proposed earlier, you will be citizens of the Divine Kingdom from now on."
"Afterwards, like the people of Skypiea, you can choose an area outside of Upper Yard to serve as an office for the Shandians."
"As for the rest, you can discuss the details with the Divine Council."
The Divine Council is composed of people selected by Lin from his own ranks.
They are quite talented in handling official business.
Lin came here to enjoy himself, not to handle official business.
As long as he has the power, who would dare to rebel?
His Observation Haki is no mere decoration!
Not only is his Observation Haki extremely wide-ranging, encompassing the entire Divine Kingdom, but it could also read minds and glimpse briefly into the future.
This is a level that Enel hadn't reached even after years of developing the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
Lin believed this was due to his extraordinary talent, though, in truth, it was because when he crossed space and time, his body and soul were affected by the power of spacetime.
This allowed him to read the minds of those without special Observation Haki.
But that's not important.
In Lin's view, he only needs to grasp the general direction of the Divine Kingdom.
The rest of the matters will be handled by professionals.
