One Piece, I will gather the faith

After making up their minds, the navy decided to split into two groups. Smoker and others continued to investigate the truth, while Garp decided to meet Lake in person.

Obviously, for Garp, the so-called meeting was not to go over and ask questions as a routine. Because he knew that it was impossible to get anything out of it, and he knew that.

So, he decided to find another way.

Then, he remembered the enthusiastic old believer Hughes he met before. He planned to pretend to believe in the so-called creator god and use it to get into the church to see if he could get some key information or find a chance to meet Lake.

So, for three consecutive days, three focused figures appeared in the Balabala BBQ Bar.

They carefully studied the thick scriptures, exchanged and discussed with each other, and those who didn't know thought they were discussing profound worldly knowledge.

These three people were Garp, Bogart and the old believer Hughes. They sighed and discussed from time to time, and occasionally exclaimed, attracting the attention of the surrounding customers.

Those disturbed customers always looked at them with some disgust at first.

However, as long as their eyes fell on the familiar "Genesis", they would usually immediately change into a polite smile, as if they thought that Cap and the others should do this.

Of course, the old man Hughes was really excited to read it. The words in the book made him feel deeply the greatness of the gods. He seemed to feel that it was really lucky to believe in such a god. It was admiration and worship from the heart.

And Garp and Bogart would also admire it, but they were lamenting that the story book was really like that, very exciting, very attractive, and even made people unable to tell whether it was true or not.

However, it was obvious that they did not believe it. After all, the strong have their own strong beliefs and believe in their own strength. How could they think of praying to God and Buddha to seek spiritual sustenance?

However, although the two of them did not believe it, it did not prevent them from accompanying old Hughes to study the scriptures and sigh together. After all, the stories in it are so exciting, aren't they?

Also, since they want to sneak into the church, they should at least pretend to be believers.

Time flies, and three days have passed.

Now Garp seems to be very familiar with the old man. The old man thought that this was a believer he developed and that he had made a contribution to the religion. He was very happy and even a little proud.

So basically, the old man was happy to answer any questions Garp had, and the two were of similar age, so they quickly became friends.

In addition, an ordinary old man would never pay attention to world news.

So, he never thought that this Garp was a world-famous naval hero. He always thought that Garp was just like him, an ordinary old man who wanted to be protected by God.

However, Garp did not get any secrets from old Zeus, that is, some rules of the Creation God Religion, how believers should believe in God, how to pray, and some common sense things, as long as believers basically know them.

The rest was also heard from old Zeus, or from the "Genesis" in his hand, and he didn't know more.

However, Garp obviously did not expect an ordinary old man to master many secrets of Lake. He wanted to take advantage of the old man's status as a devout believer to bring him into the church and meet Lake.

Look, it only took him three days to get the chance.

"Karp, today is the big gathering that only happens once a month in the church in the center of Harlan. Let's go, I'll take you there to see it. I heard that Priest Lake will also appear today." Old Xius said excitedly.

"Hahaha, that's perfect. I've been looking forward to it for a long time. Let's hurry up." Karp said with a smile, also showing a happy look.

"Well, we have to hurry up, otherwise we won't be able to see Priest Lake later." Old Xius thought that the church was only so small, and if we were late, we would have to stay outside, so he urged.

Then, the three of them hurried to the cathedral in Harlan City.

...

East China Sea, the branch of the Revolutionary Army, is located on an unknown island west of Rogue Town, not far from the Kingdom of Frost.

"Chief, the world news has been reporting major events in the Frost Kingdom recently. Perhaps you will be interested." A young intelligence officer said to the middle-aged man in a green robe.

Obviously, this is the most feared person in the world, Drago, who is known as the world's most vicious criminal. I wonder if he came to the East China Sea specifically to send his son off.

"Oh, is there a huge turmoil in that country? Is it pirates? Or rebel forces?" Drago asked curiously.

"No, there is a new force."The power, in the name of spreading the faith of God, has covered the entire country at an unimaginable speed." The intelligence officer said with emotion.

"New power? Spreading faith?" Dorag was even more curious, "Is it a new religion?"

"Yes," the intelligence officer nodded, "They promote the belief in the creator god Ula, and even the king has publicly become a believer. Now believing in Ula has become a trend, and most people in that country have become believers."

"Well, can faith spread so quickly?" Dorag was obviously a little surprised, "Or did they use dishonorable means?"

He was a little skeptical, after all, he was spreading ideas, and he knew how difficult it was to spread ideas. It took years of action to make people accept it, so he didn't believe that ideas would change easily.

However, he couldn't help but be a little curious, after all, this was similar to his revolutionary ideas, both of which wanted people to accept their ideas and unite.

"Are there any specific intelligence?" Dorag continued to ask his men.

"Yes. "The intelligence officer replied immediately, and then found a clearly organized intelligence from the file, which included Lake's photo, life and family background.

Looking at the intelligence, Dorag couldn't help but be a little suspicious. This person is too young. It's written that he is a great swordsman, and he is a native of the East China Sea. He just wants to ask, do you know what kind of strength the great swordsman has?

Although he thinks the description of Lake's strength is a bit outrageous, he is still very curious about him. After all, he thinks that he can cover the entire country with faith in a short time. Such ability is very powerful.

Also, Lake's approach is almost the same as his. One is to swindle under the banner of God, and the other is to draw big cakes and fool people under the banner of world peace and a better future.

He can't help but have some fantasies, wondering if he can develop Lake into a comrade of the revolutionary army, so he can't wait to meet him.

"Interesting young man, I'd better go and see it myself. "Drager said to himself.

Without waiting for his men to respond, he turned into a gust of wind and disappeared in the Revolutionary Army branch.

...

Lake didn't know that two heavyweights were trying to contact him.

At this time, he was immersed in the fantasy world, intoxicated by his body becoming stronger and stronger, and experiencing the process of gradually increasing strength. This kind of positive feedback of getting rewards for hard work really made him unable to stop.
