One Piece, I will gather the faith

Two months later, Lake and his party finally finished their inspection of the Frost Kingdom Church.

During this period, in addition to meeting believers, eating and sleeping, Lake spent most of his time practicing in the Fantasy World. After all, becoming stronger is an eternal topic for him.

Moreover, he did not need to travel along the way. He only needed to lie down in the carriage and wait for his destination.

In the past two months, the Creation God Church has also ushered in explosive growth, with the number of believers surging to nearly 100,000, covering 36 parishes in the Frost Kingdom.

The number of believers in each parish is different. Large parishes, such as North Wind Port, have more than 5,000 believers. Small parishes have only hundreds of people. Of course, this is closely related to the number of local residents.

However, no matter how many or how few believers there are, these parishes have shown the vitality of the faith of God.

As for the spread of faith so quickly, it may also be related to Lake's performance.

Every time he went to a parish, he would know exactly which believers really needed help. This was the ability of the Hongmeng Origin Pearl. Therefore, he could feel the strongest wishes in the hearts of believers from afar.

And those desperate believers, when they had no way out, would always subconsciously regard God as their only hope.

And his appearance was just like the coming of God, giving hope to desperate lives.

And he obviously would not handle this kind of thing in a low-key and silent manner. He would definitely be as high-profile as possible, and it would even be recorded by the local church and regarded as an oracle from Ula, so Lake appeared.

Perhaps it was because they believed that believing in God would really bring shelter, so some people chose to believe.

But some people chose to believe in God purely out of spiritual sustenance and a sense of belonging, as well as the standardized belief system after the establishment of the church, which gave their hearts a support.

In short, the reasons are different, but it is undeniable that faith has experienced a blowout growth.

Although many of them are shallow believers who cannot provide real faith power at all, the huge number of believers still brings Lake a huge amount of faith power.

Now, only true believers can provide nearly 70,000 faith power every day, and although the number of sincere believers is small, only 10,000, the faith power they contribute every day is close to 100,000.

In other words, at this time, he can accumulate 170,000 faith power a day. You know, half a year ago, he only had 900 points of faith every day.

Lake never thought that the faith power would soar.

He couldn't help but think of a sentence he heard in his previous life: Everything is difficult at the beginning.

At this time, he deeply felt that this sentence made sense.

There was even some regret in his heart, regretting that he didn't act earlier.

Of course, this is just his hindsight after he tasted the sweetness. If he really knew, he would have acted earlier.

Of course, this can't be blamed on him.

After all, he has never done anything in this regard. He was a social animal for 30 years in his previous life, and he was not the head of a pyramid scheme. How could he understand this?

The sudden increase in the number of believers is inseparable from the long-term good deeds of Balabala Barbecue Bar. If such things were not done, how could there be so many elderly people and children among his believers?

And the lonely elderly and helpless children are the objects of relief for Balabala Barbecue Bar.

Besides, if there were no commercial success of the barbecue bar, there would not be so many businessmen who took the initiative to cooperate, and Lake would not have so much money to build so many churches.

So, there are many reasons, and he thought that he had eaten the last piece of cake.

However, in addition to the unexpected surprise brought to him by the number of believers, there is another thing that makes him more happy.

That is the breakthrough in strength.

It has been a full half year since his strength became a major general. On the stone tablet in the Fantasy God Realm, at this time, there was finally a new change, and only four words were very conspicuous: Vice Admiral of the Navy.

Because, with the accumulation of knowledge, and the practice and summary for half a year, there has been a qualitative breakthrough in swordsmanship.

Now, he has mastered the iconic attack method of the great swordsman, the flying slash. This is also due to his focus on the force-generating skills when swinging the sword, summarizing the conduction of force and daily thinking.

He finally mastered the method of quickly squeezing the force and conducting the force through the compressed air.

This is the principle of flying slash, which makes the ultimate force more condensed, so that it will not disperse after leaving the sword, but attack from a long distance through the air.

This is not just a matter of skill, but the effect of the perfect combination of force and skill.

However, now his slash can only reach a distance of 100 meters, and the power can only be said to be acceptable. After all, this is related to his own strength. Besides, he has only mastered it in the initial stage, and now he has barely entered the level of a great swordsman..

It is definitely not comparable to Hawkeye's devastating attack with one strike. After all, he is the top swordsman.

However, he believes that it is only a matter of time before he grows to that level.

Although he has made great progress in strength, his weakness is also very obvious. He still has not mastered the Armament Haki, so he has no way to deal with the natural fruit ability users at this time.

However, the measurement of strength is never judged by the restraint relationship.

The reason why he was judged as the strength of the Navy Vice Admiral is because of his overall combat power. At this time, the Cangchan Armor on his body has reached 70 layers, with a full load of 3,500 kilograms, which is extremely exaggerated.

Of course, this does not mean that Lake can only exert so much power. This is a completely different concept. Lake estimates that the maximum extreme power should be 10 times higher, but it will not last long.

And now, he only spends 1 hour a day practicing sword swinging, just to maintain the feel.

Most of the time he was doing physical training, because the mastery of Armament Haki was imminent.

Ever since he met Smoker, he had regarded him as an imaginary enemy, but now he had no way to deal with him, so how could he feel at ease?

Therefore, the mastery of Armament Haki was the most important thing at the moment.

Of course, this did not mean that he did not want Conqueror Haki and Observation Haki. It was just that he thought that one of these two involved will and the other involved consciousness, which were more mysterious and more difficult than Armament Haki.

Moreover, he was somewhat self-aware and had to rely on himself to comprehend these two. Not to mention whether he could comprehend them or not, even if he could comprehend them, it would definitely not be achieved in a short time.

In comparison, he thought that Armament Haki, a potential ability of the flesh, might be much easier to awaken, after all, he had read so many novels in vain.

Is it easier to rely on the liver or to understand?

He knew with his ass that it was definitely easier to rely on the liver.

However, it is obvious that the awakening of armament color is not such a simple matter, otherwise, it would not have been circulated among a small number of forces.
