One Piece, I will gather the faith

At 10 am, in Harlan, the capital of the Frost Kingdom, the Cathedral of the Creation God.

The believers all knew that their priest Lake would show up today and lead the believers to pray to God in person, so they all rushed to the church early.

Now these devout believers look at Lai just like the fanatical fans in his previous life saw their idols, and their fanaticism is even greater than that.

After all, in their hearts, Lake is the only one who has received God's gift, the one who can talk to God and convey God's will to them.

Therefore, Lake's position in their hearts is that of God's spokesperson in the world, which is extremely honorable. It is an incomparable honor for them to be able to see him.

Because he is so popular with believers, there are so many people today that the church can't accommodate them at all, so Lake has to let the believers go to the square in front of the church.

The time came to half past ten, and the ceremony officially began.

On the high platform in front of the square, Lake folded his hands in front of his chest, his expression solemn and pious, his eyes closed, as if he was adjusting his state and showing his best side to the gods.

The same was true for the devout believers in the square. Suddenly, the square of tens of thousands of people was silent.

Soon, seeing that all the believers seemed to have entered the state, Lake officially began to guide.

He seemed to utter a pious prayer: "The omniscient and omnipotent creator, the supreme God..."

The believers followed Lake closely, their mouths were uniform, and for a moment, the scene was extremely magnificent.

At this time, all the believers almost entered a state of concentration, as if there was a voice in their subconscious reminding them to follow the crowd.

This is actually a kind of awakening of collective consciousness. In this ceremony, regardless of the piety of the faith, people will subconsciously choose to integrate into it so as not to appear out of place.

It was originally just an ordinary ceremony, but because of the appearance of Lake, it became different.

People would subconsciously think that Lake's identity makes it easier for the prayers he leads to get God's attention.

Therefore, today's ceremony is particularly solemn.

At the end of the ceremony, Lake did not let the believers disperse directly as usual, but walked to the stone pillar on the side of the platform. At this time, everyone noticed that there was a golden basin on it.

This process, which had never happened before, made everyone curious. They were all holding their breath and looking forward to Lake's next move.

Lake's fingers just tapped the edge of the basin lightly, and suddenly, the water in the basin seemed to break away from the constraints of the rules of gravity, and all rushed upwards frantically.

Then, Lake clapped his right hand lightly again, and the water mass that was rushing upwards quickly flew to the center of the square, and then suddenly exploded, just like a fairy scattering flowers.

Then, dense mist slowly fell from the sky and landed on the believers. With the rising sun, rainbows instantly enveloped everyone.

At this time, the ceremony once again seemed more sacred, and the believers seemed to be receiving baptism from God.

Just as everyone was staring at this scene, stunned, a voice sounded just right, giving a perfect interpretation of the scene in front of them.

"God has mercy, God is immortal, God is with us!"

Everyone came back to their senses from the shock, and when they looked at Lake, there was unparalleled piety and shock in their eyes.

At this time, I don't know who took the lead, and the deafening shouts of the believers in the square followed, shouting the name of God.

"Hurrah!"

At this time, they all seemed to think that only God could match their enthusiasm and piety at this moment.

Cap and Bogart, who came with Old Hughes, were also shocked at this time. He obviously understood that this move represented the extreme control of power and was an extremely superb skill.

The water ball condensed but did not disperse, which was obviously the interference of the Armament Haki. The final dispersion into water mist was caused by the huge force pressure after the Armament Haki dispersed. Only a true physical master could achieve this level.

At this time, there may be a word that can more accurately describe the use of this force, that is, "subtle".

Garp no longer had the calmness before he came, and was replaced by a deep solemnity. He knew that Lake was no longer something that the navy could easily deal with.

With his vision and experience, how could he not see that this was not the level of a vice admiral, but the strength of a general!

However, thinking that the people of this country seemed to be living better and happier, Garp's face recovered again.

On the sideBogart was also shocked by Lake's strength, just like Garp. After all, Lake was too young, and the two of them couldn't help but wonder, has Lake been practicing since his mother's womb?

However, Colonel Bell once swore that Lake was indeed kidnapped by pirates, and it was only four years ago!

If a young man with such strong strength now was far less powerful than he is now four years ago, he would not be kidnapped by some inferior pirates in the East China Sea.

They couldn't figure it out at this time, it didn't make sense at all! The two of them looked at each other involuntarily, and in an instant, they understood each other's doubts.

Suddenly, a thought emerged in the minds of both of them at the same time: "Could it be that this is really a gift from God?"

At this time, Lake was also feeling the changes in the beliefs of the believers. After all, he made such a big scene, so he naturally had to test the effect.

He also wanted to see if occasionally showing the power that was like a god to the believers could make them subconsciously worship God more, so that God's posture would be taller in their hearts and their faith would be more devout.

Obviously, his idea was right.

People in this era would always subconsciously thank the gods for unexplainable phenomena or wonders.

Seeing that the faith of most people in the field was gradually becoming more devout, Lake was very relieved at this time.

"Well, there is no faith at all?" When Lake cast his perception on Garp, he was a little surprised for a moment.

He was also very curious, who was this person, who was not infected, was not magical enough? Wasn't the atmosphere fanatical enough?

"Huh? Wait, why is this person so familiar," Lake finally reacted, "Isn't this Garp?"

"That's what happened. He came here so well. The Navy is too cautious. Sending such a big Buddha, is it trying to force me to death?" Lake secretly complained in his heart.

He had not considered the arrival of Garp. After all, a person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. He is a navy hero and a strong man who fought Rocks in the battle of God Valley. If he hadn't made a breakthrough in strength, he really didn't know how to deal with him.

Of course, Lake didn't have much confidence to fight with Garp now. However, he guessed that since Garp came here in this way, he should not come to fight him.

Thinking of this, Lake decided to meet Garp. After all, knowing yourself and the enemy can win every battle.
