One Piece, I will gather the faith

In the Fantasy World, when all preparations were ready, Lake once again devoted himself to tireless practice.

Because this incident was indeed a bit big, he was worried that the Navy would send an admiral to investigate.

Of course, he thought this possibility was relatively small. After all, for an uncertain thing, asking the admiral to cross half the world from Marinford to investigate was somewhat overkill and looked down on the admiral.

Besides, the Navy has not yet reached such a heroic level. There are only three admirals in total, and they are all in important positions, so there is a serious shortage of manpower.

Of course, he still knows that it is better to take precautions before they happen, so he trains very hard.

However, he is also a little worried about the World Government. Thinking about it carefully, he found that what he did was actually similar to the Revolutionary Army in the eyes of the World Government.

According to the current speed of faith spread, more and more people will join the team of believers in Ula. With the protection of God, will those countries still hand over the gold from heaven to join the World Government?

In addition, he himself was also relying on the name of God to deceive people, which was exactly the same as the Celestial Dragons claiming to be the descendants of the Creator. This obviously shook the foundation of their rule and questioned the legitimacy of their rule.

This was also a problem that Lake had neglected before.

Therefore, when Lake thought about facing the behemoth of the World Government, he was instinctively worried.

While Lake was training hard in the Fantasy World, Smoker and others were also running around, busy investigating Lake. He was not targeting Lake, but just to find out the truth of the matter and maintain justice in his heart.

Of course, he was also curious about why Lake was so powerful. He wanted to infer the reason why he was so powerful from what he did.

And how did he create a sect that influenced millions of people from scratch from an orphan captured by pirates four years ago.

If you think about it carefully, such ability will indeed scare those in power. If Lake really lets faith cover the entire world, then he will have the final say, and what is the meaning of the World Government at that time?

However, Smoker obviously did not have such political awareness. He just wanted to know whether such a belief violated justice.

In order to find out Lake's background, Smoker was very responsible and personally took Dashiqi to investigate near Lake's original home, hoping to get some unique clues.

"Is this his home?" Smoker asked, looking at the luxurious villa in front of him.

"According to the address we found out, it should be here." Dashiqi was also a little uncertain.

"However, Winks Lake's noble temperament seems to be in line with such a wealthy family." Dashiqi thought of Lake's handsome appearance and added involuntarily.

"Huh? Dashiqi, don't be crazy, we are here to carry out the mission!" Smoker frowned and reminded loudly.

"Yes, yes, yes, Colonel Smoker." Dashiqi realized his own gaffe and nodded in fear of Smoker.

Seeing that his subordinates seemed to have realized their mistakes, Smoker did not hold on and nodded.

"What should we do now?" Dashiki asked cautiously.

After Smoker looked around and saw that there was no one around, he directly used the power of the Smoke Fruit, wrapped Dashiki, and flew to the villa together.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them crossed the high wall and came to the front garden of the villa.

After landing, Smoker did not stop and walked straight to the gate, while Dashiki looked around.

"Colonel Smoker, we are trespassing into a private house, and we are entering without permission. This is against the rules..." Dashiki said with some worry.

"Sergeant Dashiki, keep up, this is an order!" Smoker, who was about to reach the gate, turned back and urged.

Dashiki looked around again, gritted his teeth, and quickly followed, with an expression as if he was doing something wrong.

However, this was indeed doing something wrong.

Arriving in front of the villa gate, Smoker used the power of the Smoke Fruit again, instantly passed through the crack of the door, and then opened the window.

Then, another puff of smoke dissipated, and the two appeared in the villa.

After a search, the two did not find anything unusual, and everything was no different from the layout of ordinary rich people's homes.

This is of course normal, because this is just an ordinary merchant's house. Lake has a fantasy world, and he doesn't need a venue or equipment to become stronger, just a place to stay.

Not long after, the two came to the study, stood in front of the huge family photo of Lake's family, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help frowning.

"Dashiqi, is this guy really just the son of an ordinary merchant?" Pointing at the obviously immature Lake in the photo, Smoker asked.

"This..."

Dashiqi was speechless at this time. By comparison, this is obviously what Lake looked like when he was a teenager. It seems that this is the truth, but it is too shocking and makes her a little unbelievable.

Although the two were reluctant to admit it at this time, they seemed to have begun to slowly accept this fact in their hearts, because from the information they learned, it seemed that this was the truth and there was no problem.

This can't be blamed on them. The facts are indeed a bit too bizarre. After all, they can't think of the matter of crossing with a golden finger.

It can only be said that the life of a cheater is so different.

However, the two still didn't give up. They searched the villa carefully again until they were sure that there was nothing unusual, and then they left the villa in frustration.

"Who are you, what are you doing in front of the Lake priest's house? Are you here to pay homage?" An old lady saw the two and asked with a smile.

Suddenly, a gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the two, looked at each other, and nodded calmly.

"Yes, old man, we are here to pay respect to Priest Lake, but it seems that no one has lived in his house for a long time." Dashiqi asked with a smile.

"Well, since the child was kidnapped by pirates four years ago and escaped death, he has become taciturn and doesn't like to go out. After that, except for Old John who often comes to take care of him, I haven't seen Lake."

The old man said while recalling.

"But we have to thank Ula, it was he who saved Lake. I hope Lake can bring us more of God's will."

Then, the old man clasped his hands in front of his chest, with a pious face, and seemed to be chanting prayers.

The two looked weird when they saw this, but did not disturb the old man's prayer, but waited patiently.

Later, the two learned from the old woman that she lived in the villa next to Lake's house and had watched Lake grow up since childhood.

The two people asked the old man about his words openly and secretly, and asked about Lake's situation from birth to leaving here.

The old man not only did not doubt their motives, but was even more enthusiastic to explain Lake's life to the two believers who admired Lake so much.

Then, he encouraged them to believe in Ula well and strive to become a loyal believer of God like the Lake priest, and maybe they could also get God's grace.

Finally, under the expectant eyes of the old man, the two really couldn't stand it, so they pretended to be in a hurry and left in a hurry.

Along the way, both of them fell into deep thought.

"Dashiqi, is that guy really just the son of an ordinary businessman, and he was kidnapped by pirates and almost died?" Smoker still couldn't believe it.

"It seems to be true." Dashiqi recalled the family photos in the villa and the experience of the old man. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with everything, as if this was the truth.

"Why do you think the pirates kidnapped them? Isn't it for ransom? How could they kill people to silence them? And how did he survive? Is it really the protection of God? This is too much!"

Smoker analyzed carefully.

"Colonel Bell should know the situation best, right?" Dashiqi said casually.

"Yeah, wasn't Bell responsible for dealing with that group of pirates?" Smoker suddenly realized.

Then, the two looked at each other, seemed to think they had found the key to the problem, and hurried back to their base.
