One Piece, I will gather the faith

After getting the method of practicing the Observation Haki, Lake was extremely excited and couldn't wait to practice in seclusion. He even made a firm determination, "I will never come out of seclusion until I awaken."

Just when he was about to enter the Fantasy World, Harry Pips, the head of the Heaven Monitoring Institute who was responsible for paying attention to the world situation and the beliefs of various countries, ran over.

This guy looked like a scholar, looked very gentle, and had a good background. He was the son of a teacher in Harlan City, but he had longed for those unknown wonders since he was a child, so he joined the Creation God Church.

Lake knew from his devout belief that he really wanted to believe in Ula, so he accepted his request.

He was even entrusted with an important task, asking him to pay special attention to changes in the world situation, major news in the East China Sea, and monitor the development of faith and the daily life of believers.

Lake has never found a suitable person to do this. After all, it obviously requires some culture to do these things.

"Priest, there is new news that the Crick Pirates are being chased by Hawkeye all the way from the Grand Line, and have even passed through the Windless Zone to the East China Sea, and the news in the navy said that Hawkeye is here to find you."

It is obviously a big deal that Hawkeye, the world's number one swordsman, is here to find Lake, so Pips' tone is very anxious.

"What's going on? Tell me the information about the Crick Pirates in detail." Lake said quickly.

He was puzzled. Why is the original plot still going on? Didn't Crick get the Haki training method? Shouldn't he practice Haki in seclusion? Why go to the Grand Line? Don't you know that it is dangerous without Haki?

Could it be that he has already cultivated the Armament Haki so quickly? Is his aptitude so strong?

Lake couldn't help but frown.

But what Pips said next really made him feel that he had shot himself in the foot.

"Priest, your public burning of the Dragon Pirates caused all the pirates in the East China Sea to disappear for a while. We only found out recently that they all went to the Grand Line."

After hearing this, Lake was speechless.

Now that the East China Sea is free of the threat of pirates, how can he continue to develop faith? Those civilians who live a stable life will never believe in gods when they are full.

At this time, he despised these pirates very much. He didn't even go to find them, so why was he afraid? Are they so timid? What kind of pirates are they with such a small courage!

In his heart, Lake was simply powerless to complain. However, he also understood that this must be the way the Dragon Pirates were treated, which scared them out of their wits.

However, now that things have come to this, Lake is not going to continue to struggle, and he must plan carefully afterwards. The most important thing now is the movements of Hawkeye and the Creek Pirates.

"Is there any accurate information about Hawkeye and the Creek Pirates?" Lake asked.

"I heard that the Creek Pirates suffered heavy losses this time and appeared in the waters near us, but Hawkeye has not been seen. It seems that he has given up the pursuit, or he is alone and has not been discovered."

After hearing this, Lake instinctively felt that things must be developing in a direction that is unfavorable to him. After all, bad things always come first.

Since Hawkeye did not continue to chase Creek and the others? He must have been attracted by something.

Isn't he the most likely person?

Lake knows Hawkeye very well. As the world's number one swordsman, his favorite thing is to find someone to fight with, which is why he has such achievements. As for the Creek Pirates, he probably didn't take it seriously.

Suddenly, he felt like he was being shot for no reason.

But Lake was not afraid, he just didn't want to have this boring exchange.

But now that things have come to this, he can only fight against the enemy.

He thought of the scene in the Fantasy World when he held a 60,000-jin giant sword in one hand and swung it like a natural disaster, so he was not worried.

"Let everyone continue to pay attention to the movements of Hawkeye and the Creek Pirates, and report important intelligence to me in time." Lake ordered.

"Okay, I will continue to follow up."

"Well, you go and get busy." Lake said.

Then, Pips left quickly.

At this time, Lake really wanted to meet Creek and tell him in person to rest assured and tell him that he would not destroy him in the East China Sea.

Otherwise, the East China Sea would really become a paradise.

This kind of thing is not in line with his interests. He has planned to make the East China Sea his own territory and become independent from the rule of the World Government. However, with the current coverage of faith, it is definitely not possible.

He cannot occupy it by force. In that case, not only will the World Government take full action, but the local forces in the East China Sea will also rise up to resist. At that time, the people will lose all their hearts and the power of faith will be gone, and he will have no fun.

But it is definitely impossible to find Creek now. We can only wait for our subordinates to find their traces before we go to see them.

At this time, the highest priority is of course to practice Observation Haki.

Observation Haki must be mastered. This is the ability he has been thinking about the most. It was also the ability he wanted to awaken first. After all, the extraordinary perception that can foresee the future is really awesome.

…

"Admiral, what should we do? Hawkeye is chasing us. We are not opponents of the same level at all."

"Yes, so many of our brothers have died. He is going to kill them all!"

"The brothers are exhausted. What should we do?"

Seeing that the younger brothers were discouraged and had no fighting spirit, as if they had completely lost their fighting spirit, Creek also frowned.

"What are you afraid of? We are not dead yet."

At this moment, he hated Hawkeye. Seeing that his hard-earned fortune was chopped clean by Hawkeye, he was furious and gnashed his teeth.

But what could he do? The first thing he had to do was to get rid of Hawkeye's pursuit, and the food was almost gone. Survival was obviously the most important and realistic thing at this time.

"Let's go to the sea restaurant Barati and rob it, and then think of a way. If we die, we must die of gluttony." Click encouraged his brothers.

"I heard that the food there is amazing!" The ghost man Ajin added at the right time.

Suddenly, the pirates looked eager, and their throats swallowed unconsciously. The temptation of food made it difficult for them to resist. In order to eat and not to starve to death, the dying fighting spirit seemed to be rekindled.

"Hahaha, what are you waiting for? Let's quickly set sail for the sea restaurant Barati and let them feel the fear of our Creek Pirates, hahaha." Creek said madly.

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha..."

The pirates' wild laughter even made the nearby sea beasts flee. Those who didn't know would think that they had just experienced something great, and they would never have thought that these were just a group of desperate pirates who were being chased.

But morale is really strange. It seems that as long as you indulge the evil in your heart, it can be stimulated.

It seems that there is a devil living in the heart of a person.
