One Piece, I will gather the faith

Lake couldn't wait to open the parchment and read it carefully. However, as he read deeper, his expression gradually became disappointed.

It turned out that the parchment only recorded the method of practicing Armament Haki!

If it was before, he would be a little happy.

Now, he said it was useless. You know, he has already determined that the path of practicing all-round powerful physical body is the right direction, so what is the meaning of the scroll in front of him to him?

Is there really a more effective whole-body practice method?

Obviously, he thinks that is impossible.

Moreover, the scroll only records a way to use the fist as a breakthrough point, gradually strengthen the power of the fist, cultivate an indestructible belief, and thus guide the protective energy lurking in the body.

This is obviously biased!

Is it enough to become strong just by having a hard fist?

Obviously not.

Alas, Lake is comparing himself again. He seems to have forgotten that he can take the route of fully strengthening the physical body, but others may not be able to do so. After all, for ordinary people, being strong in one aspect is already a blessing.

Besides, it is a stroke of luck for ordinary people to be able to awaken the Armament Haki, so how can they dare to ask for more.

There are not many words on the scroll, and Lake finished reading it quickly. He was a little disappointed because it was of no use to him. It did not mention the nature of Armament Haki, and he still did not know whether it was acquired or innate.

It only lists some training methods that may help awaken Armament Haki, but these methods are not absolutely effective and vary from person to person.

Lake finally understood why the royal family has not recorded anyone successfully awakening Armament Haki according to the method on the scroll for hundreds of years.

This is completely a probabilistic event!

Everyone has a different physique, and there are differences in nature. Some people are born with strong physiques, while others are weak. In this case, how can everyone awaken Armament Haki by relying on a fixed method?

Lake even speculated that perhaps it was because some people practiced according to the scroll and suffered enough, but still could not awaken, which led people to gradually question the authenticity of the scroll and finally put it aside.

However, Lake looked at the scroll with the eyes of an experienced person and could still see its value. This is indeed a way to awaken the armed color domineering.

The practice steps recorded in the parchment scroll are very detailed, and specifically explain how to gradually strengthen the power of the fist. And a specific breathing method to quickly enter the meditative state and feel the mysterious power.

In addition, the scroll also mentioned that if someone uses armed color to guide and help others perceive this power, the probability of awakening will be greatly increased.

This may be the key reason why no one in the royal family awakened, because they can't find someone to guide.

Everyone's qualifications are random. Who can guarantee that the royal family is born with strong qualifications? In addition, there is no strong person to guide, so it is natural that no one has awakened for hundreds of years.

After reading the parchment scroll and confirming that there is no missing information, Lake threw it to Creek.

Creek was ecstatic. He originally thought that Lake would put the parchment scroll away. After all, who would be willing to share such a treasure with others? He wouldn't. Unexpectedly, the other party gave it to him so generously.

Now, his lost heart was rejuvenated again. After all, this was a surprise from heaven for him!

Creek couldn't wait to open the parchment scroll and quickly browsed it.

After reading it quickly, he also knew that this scroll recorded the method of practicing armed color domineering. Although it was mentioned that awakening was very difficult, he believed that he could do it.

After all, he already had a strong physical strength, which meant that he had extraordinary qualifications, didn't it?

He also knew that if someone could guide him, the probability of awakening would be greatly increased. He also knew that Lake must have armed color domineering, but until the end, he didn't mention a word.

First of all, he couldn't think of a reason for Lake to help him. Secondly, he had already made a lot of money and couldn't ask for more. Any more requests would be greedy and ignorant.

At this moment, he just wanted to leave quickly and practice according to the method on the parchment scroll.

He looked at Lake, not knowing what would happen next. He was very impatient. He really wanted to go back and practice immediately, but he still suppressed his temper and pretended to be calm.

Lake saw his expression, how could he not know what he was thinking now.

Isn't this how he got here? After having a clear path, what he wanted most was to practice impatiently, especially for those who were extremely eager for power.Only when the strength of a person grows can he feel truly safe.

"Crick, since the king has paid the price, shouldn't you also leave with your men?" Lake glanced at the king's expectant eyes and said to Creek.

"Well, okay, I'll leave right away and will never harass the Kingdom of Frost again, I promise." Creek finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Lake asking him to leave. He immediately became excited and quickly promised.

"Okay, you leave. This will also be a kingdom protected by God in the future. And then, by the way, tell other pirates in the surrounding waters not to do anything unwise." Lake finally reminded him.

"Yes, yes, I will definitely spread this matter, believe me." Creek promised again.

Lake just nodded lightly, and then signaled that he could leave.

......

Watching the departure of the Creek Pirates, the people of the kingdom finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They cast their grateful eyes on Lake. After all, it was this man who was like a savior at the last moment, saving them at the critical moment of life and death and pulling them back from the abyss of despair.

Lake just smiled at them slightly, and then showed a humble and indifferent expression.

Suddenly, the people of the kingdom admired him even more, and they all believed that this was the attitude of a priest of God, calm and frank, as if he was not in the world.

However, King Klofa VII had a different opinion in his heart. He was thinking about it and felt something was wrong.

He found that it seemed that all the benefits were taken by Lake.

Although Creek got the domineering practice method, it was also given to him by Lake. The pirates worked hard and the soldiers of the kingdom suffered heavy losses. Only Lake did not suffer any losses and got all the benefits.

Not only did the ministers regard him as the savior of the kingdom, but he also promised to fully support the spread of the faith of God, and even he himself promised to believe in God.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think deeply. Is all this really just a coincidence?

However, he obviously couldn't get the answer, at least not now.

At this moment, Lake was watching the soldiers cleaning the site collecting corpses and cleaning the blood-stained ground, with mixed feelings in his heart.

After all, he planned all this, and he took advantage of the greed of the Creek Pirates to cause this tragedy.

Those soldiers are innocent. Some of them may be the sons of a father, the fathers of a daughter, or the pillars of a family. They are not a little bit of ink in the comics, but living people.

Because of his plan, these soldiers lost their lives, and their families will also fall into sadness and pain.

Lake also felt a little guilty, but he knew that it was useless to say anything now.

When he decided to go to the Creek Pirates, he had already anticipated such a consequence, but for the spread of faith, he convinced himself, and he also thought he would really accept that reason.

He told himself, which power's rise is not accompanied by blood? The rise of this country is also the same. Does this rich land naturally belong to this country? Doesn't it need to compete with other countries?

And what about the royal family?

Have they been the rulers of this country from the beginning? Isn't it the power obtained by force? In this world where the strong prey on the weak and power is everything, isn't it based on power and reason?

He told himself that doing great things will inevitably involve sacrifices, not to mention that which of the strong in this world does not have blood on their hands?

He thought he had accepted this cruel reality, but at this moment, he found that it was too difficult to accept this argument with peace of mind, which completely violated the education he received in his previous life.

However, although he was a little reluctant, he knew that these were two different worlds with different rules. Since you have chosen to take this path, you must go on firmly. Indecision is what those who succeed are most afraid of.

For these innocent soldiers who died in battle, he could only ask Klofa VII to treat their families well, and lied that many of them were believers of God, and the Church of God would do its part.

Klofa VII nodded and said he would do it. After all, this was what he should do.

Finally, Lake discussed some follow-up matters with Klofa VII and left with everyone.
