One Piece, I will gather the faith

"Lake, you finally woke up, that's great!"

After hearing the noise in the boy's room, the old man hurried over. When he opened the door, he saw Lake standing on the ground, just like an ordinary person. He was overjoyed and his old face was full of excitement.

"Old John, don't worry, I'm fine now."

Lake felt the old man's heartfelt care and nodded with a smile.

He inherited everything from the original owner, so he was naturally familiar with the old man in front of him.

Old John was the old housekeeper of the family, and was rescued by his grandfather from the seaside.

Since then, Old John has stayed in the Winks family, and decades have passed in a flash.

They have long regarded the old man as a family member and respected him very much. Old John has also long been accustomed to the company of a family.

The old man and his grandfather experienced the rise of the Winks family together, and they also enjoyed the glory together. When they were young, they enjoyed a lot of romance, but for some unknown reason, they had no offspring.

Therefore, the old man who did not have his own blood treated Lake like his own grandson, and loved him very much. After all, he had raised him since he was a child.

"Lake, you have been in a coma for almost half a month this time. The doctor has also come to see you, but he can't find any problems. By the way, I will go and call the doctor."

The old man was still a little worried and felt that Lake should be checked carefully.

But Lake knew his own situation. His deep sleep was just the transformation of the Hongmeng Origin Pearl. Besides, it was just a sudden mental death. Why did he need to check it?

So he shook his head.

"Old John, it's really not necessary. I know my current physical condition best. It's very good."

The old man hesitated, and seeing Lake's firm eyes, he nodded helplessly.

"Half a month? Has it been so long?"

Lake was also a little surprised. It took too long to transform, right? Fortunately, the Hongmeng Origin Pearl was magical and maintained the consumption of the body. Otherwise, the body would have starved to death after such a long time.

"Old John, just tell me about the important things that happened during this period."

Then, Old John briefly told him some of the important things that happened during this period.

Including the funeral arrangements of his parents, and later many partners who relied on his parents came to terminate their cooperation.

Speaking of this, thinking of the faces of those people when they took advantage of the situation, Old John also gnashed his teeth with hatred.

However, Lake didn't care about these. After all, they were just external things. The most important thing at this stage was to develop steadily. With strength, what was lost was not afraid that it would not come back?

Besides, he always felt that something was a bit strange about the pirate incident this time.

So, he just nodded to the old man, showing an equally angry look, and reluctantly responded to the old man's emotions.

Then he asked: "Where are those pirates?"

"They were all killed by the order of the Navy Colonel Bartholom Bell." The old man said truthfully.

"It's good that they are all dead!" Lake said lightly.

He was now more convinced that it was not just pirates who were against the original family. After all, how could those low-ranking pirates so easily grasp the whereabouts of their family?

In a prosperous city of a country, he expressed some doubts.

In addition, such a quick execution did not seem to be in line with the navy's policy on pirates. It was obviously in a hurry to kill people and silence them. Isn't it just a case of trying to cover up the truth?

Of course, he would definitely not seek death now or find the so-called truth, but it would be hard to say in the future.

After all, he took over this body, and it would not be appropriate to be indifferent to it.

At least, this family should be completely at peace.

"Old John, this time my life was hanging by a thread, and I survived by luck. It was a miracle. In the last moment of coma, I seemed to see a god. It must be him who saved me, otherwise I would definitely be like my father and others..."

Lake suddenly showed a very sad look, and said in a very serious tone.

"Maybe it's just your hallucination? The doctor said that you just experienced a huge change and are a little uneasy. It's best to rest for a while."

Old John obviously didn't believe what the gods said, and frowned and advised.

"No, I believe it's true! If it weren't for the protection of the gods, I really can't figure out how I survived? You know? Those pirates clearly wanted to kill us all!" Lake retorted excitedly.

Old John also fell into deep thought. As Lake said, the pirates were obviously venting their anger at the time, so why did they let him survive? His parents and bodyguards were all killed...

Is it really the blessing of the gods? This is too absurd, right?

Old John was full of doubts and confusion, and he couldn't be sure of Lake's wordsLaw, but there is no reason to completely deny it.

For a moment, it was a bit difficult.

"What are you going to do? How to thank that god?" Old John simply stopped struggling and asked.

Lake looked at Old John seriously, trying to see some clues in his eyes to confirm whether he agreed with his point of view and whether he would support his next move.

This speech was made up by him on the spur of the moment. He thought it would be full of loopholes, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth.

The main reason was that he thought things were too complicated.

Believing in gods and fearing gods is a common thing. It is harmless and does not violate the law. The old housekeeper has no reason to object.

So he simply described the plan to spread the belief in gods, promote the mercy and benevolence of gods, spread the grace of gods throughout the world, and let more people feel the existence of gods.

John was stunned, but he didn't object, because it was not a bad thing to ruin the family.

Besides, after just experiencing a tragedy, the old man also found that peace and safety is the best, so he also planned to let Lake do it. Besides, Lake is the boss of this family after all, and he is always an outsider.

It is precisely because the old housekeeper can clearly position himself that he can integrate into this family for a long time.

"Okay, Lake, what exactly do you plan to do? You have to take the first step, right?" John asked curiously, and also wanted to see if the young man was just talking too much.

"Let's do this, old John, you go and tell the orphans nearby that I am going to do some good deeds to thank the gods for their protection and to give back to the gods. I plan to provide them with free lunch tomorrow at noon."

Lake thought for a while and added, "It doesn't need to be too rich, just prepare some bread, fried meat and fried rice, and the main thing is that the quantity should be enough to make everyone full."

"Well, this is a good idea, I will prepare it tomorrow and then notify you."

Then the old housekeeper confirmed Lake's physical condition again and went back to his room to rest.

After the old man left, Lake walked to the mirror and looked at the strange body carefully.

Although the original body is only 15 years old, his height is close to 180, which is similar to his previous life. However, considering that this is the world of One Piece, it is not surprising that the average admiral is more than 3 meters tall.

With golden hair, deep eyes, handsome face, and innate nobility, Lake is very satisfied with this body.

After all, the original owner of this body has enjoyed a good life since birth. His father is a famous local businessman and his family has a mine. It makes sense that he has such a temperament.

"I didn't expect that I'm in the East China Sea, the Frost Kingdom. However, it seems to be far away from the Goa Kingdom where Luffy is. I just heard people mention it, far to the east."

"There are dozens of countries coexisting in the East China Sea. The world map in One Piece is really not small, but it's not mentioned in the plot."

"It's the 1518th year of the Sea Circle Calendar. I remember there are still four years before the original plot begins. I wonder how much I can grow in these four years?"

"But does this so-called plot have anything to do with me?"

"It seems that wherever Luffy and his crew go, they are fighting to defeat the villains. Maybe I can absorb the faith secretly, but I have to plan it well. But is it necessary?"

Alone, Lake is sorting out his memories of this world in his mind, and he keeps talking.

He still wants to meet the popular characters in the original work, after all, this represents his youthful memories.

But now, his vision is different.

Besides, being brought to this world by the Chaos Origin Pearl, how could his vision be limited to the so-called pirate adventure game?

Obviously, faith is the most important thing.

The next day, noon.

Old John prepared everything early and took Lake to a spacious restaurant.

This place has obviously been reserved by him. At this time, orphans from all over the city gathered in the restaurant. Lake estimated that there were about 100 people.

Looking at these ragged and hungry teenagers, Lake felt a sense of emotion in his heart. Fortunately, he did not travel through time like this, otherwise it would be a hellish start.

These orphans who live at the bottom of society and make careful calculations for survival every day look at the food on the table, and their eyes reveal an unconcealed desire. Most of them even keep swallowing their saliva.

Seeing this, Lake had an idea in his mind.

Perhaps, the temptation of food is more affordable than the protection of God. If the two are combined, it may be a good idea.

But today, he just came to make some acquaintances and did not intend to do anything extra.

After all, the two sides were unfamiliar with each other, and these orphans who had long lacked care would obviously be wary of the sudden kindness of strangers.

However, the necessary greetings were stillIt is necessary, after all, this is the purpose of today.

"Hello everyone, I am Lake, I hope you have a pleasant lunch, and I hope the light of God can shine on you!"

After saying that, Lake sat back in his seat and did not disturb them to eat.

For three consecutive days, Lake invited these orphans to have lunch on time every day, and he would only say the same words every time.

He was not in a hurry, after all, what he had to do could not be rushed, and he had to let these orphans feel his kindness first.

Over the past three days, these people have gradually become familiar with Lake, this generous rich man, and will also greet him with a smile.

Every time, he also smiled in return.

The fourth day.

After lunch, Lake called the group of orphans, and under their curious eyes, Lake started his performance.

"Do you believe in God?"

He asked sincerely, like a devout pastor.

This is also the result of his repeated practice, after all, he is now playing the role of a believer in God.
