One Piece, I will gather the faith

Through communication with Macri, Lake knew that there were not many strong men in the nearby waters. Most of the so-called strong men were only at the level of lieutenant colonels in the navy, and they were also big figures in various countries.

He guessed that the strongest man in the surrounding waters might be Captain Barthalom Bell.

He was the highest officer sent by the Navy Headquarters to the nearby base, responsible for arresting pirates and maintaining the law and order in this sea area.

He had great prestige in the vicinity. Although he could not interfere in the political affairs of various countries, he also maintained a very good relationship with the dignitaries of various countries. He was a real big man in the hearts of ordinary people.

At this point, Lake had already made up his mind, and sighed in his heart that he had become so strong without realizing it.

However, considering that he was not domineering yet, it was easy to dodge an open spear but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark, he warned himself that he must stay stable and never waste time, and not to start a business halfway and collapse halfway, otherwise he would regret it for the rest of his life.

However, the East China Sea is generally peaceful. He thought that with his current strength, he didn't need to be too nervous. His strength could support his plan and he didn't have to worry about being crushed.

Even if he might not be the opponent of the so-called navy captain at present, so what?

They had no grudges or conflicts on the surface, so how could these two people who had no intersection fight for life and death for no reason?

Besides, he was a naval officer, not a pirate. How could he attack the people of the member countries of the World Government casually? Otherwise, wouldn't he be a local emperor?

The upper echelons of the navy would not allow such a thing to happen.

Even though there were many corruption phenomena in the navy, this was the East China Sea. Except for some rat shits that were secretly causing trouble, most of the navy were still law-abiding and dared not act rashly.

After all, if the people in the East China Sea didn't know the strength of Garp, how could the people in the navy not know it?

Therefore, Lake decided to take action.

At noon that day, after lunch, Lake called everyone.

"Unconsciously, we have been bathing in the glory of God for two years. The merciful God chose to protect us just because of faith. I want to spread the faith of Ula and let more people feel the mercy of God."

After Lake finished speaking, he folded his arms and shouted: "Ula."

"Ula!"

Everyone was infected and shouted in unison, their voices resounding through the sky.

"I want to make the faith of Ula more solemn, so that those who believe in Ula can sincerely feel the spiritual belonging and sustenance." Lake's eyes were firm and his voice was loud.

"Great!" The teenagers cheered and their faces were filled with excitement.

"Brother Lake, I support you no matter what you do!"

"Yes, it's so cool!"

"It seems like you are doing something extraordinary."

They were in different moods. Some thought it was cool, some thought it was necessary, and some thought that God should be solemn and sacred...

Lake looked at these teenagers, and a trace of relief flashed in his eyes. Although he had expected such a scene, he was still very happy to see that it was going so smoothly.

"I am going to establish a sect called the Creation God Religion, and believe in the only true God, the Creator God Ula." Lake said in a loud voice.

As soon as the voice fell, the atmosphere was instantly ignited.

"Creator God!!!"

"Ula!!!"

"Ula!!!"

Lake did not stop their enthusiasm, but looked at them quietly. This was the effect he wanted.

A few minutes later, Lake raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.

Suddenly, there was silence, and everyone was waiting for his follow-up with their eyes fixed.

Everyone now sincerely thanked him. After all, they could feel his two years of selfless dedication and consideration for them in everything.

People are not plants, how can they not have feelings?

Even if Lake only regarded them as tools at the beginning, as two years passed, he also realized that this was a group of flesh and blood people, with feelings and gratitude.

So, he really wants them to live a better life, but the premise is that they are bathed in the glory of God.

"Now, we are all believers of the Creation God Church. In order to make your abilities more fully utilized, I have decided to arrange different positions in the church according to your belief in God and your own strengths."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another commotion.

The teenagers became more and more excited. This is a position, an identity that only adults have. How can they, the half-grown children, not yearn for it.

Lake then said,

"Following the guidance of God, I will become a priest in the church, responsible for spreading God's faith. Thanks to God, I will dedicate the rest of my life to expanding God's faith and spreading God's glory."

"In addition," Lake continued, "the safety of the God Church also needs people to protect it, so IWe need to form a Guardian Knights Order, based on faith and relying on force.

He glanced at everyone and said firmly:

"With the results of this year's training, I believe you have already understood your talents. Of course, God will not despise his people, but the Knights Order is responsible for protection and needs strong force.

"Of course, God's faith cannot be spread by me alone, so someone among you must also become a missionary to spread the light of God. Guardian Knights and missionaries are both indispensable and both are sacred missions.

"However, missionaries need to truly comprehend God's revelation, so you are not yet capable of becoming true missionaries. I hope you can comprehend God's revelation and God's greatness and pass it on to more people. "

Then, Lake decided on the candidates for the Guardian Knights, which were the 27 talented people who formed a knight squadron, which consisted of three teams.

The squadron leader was Alan, and Lake was very optimistic about him.

Although his own faith was only that of a true believer, Lake believed that with the bond of Elsa, he would definitely serve God firmly.

Besides, a helpless teenager would definitely be grateful for his long-term kindness.

As soon as Lake finished speaking, Alan also became a true believer, and his eyes were no longer indifferent, but full of excitement and gratitude.

The little girl Elsa was also very excited to see her brother being entrusted with an important task, and her eyes flashed with gratitude. The pride of his brother was reflected in his eyes, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Lake saw all this and nodded secretly. He believed that with the bond of his sister, a fanatic, Allen would be a qualified guardian knight and devote his life to it.

If he didn't want to stay, he had to leave his life behind.

Apostates are far more hateful than those who don't believe in God, because they trample on faith and betray God.

Lake would never allow such an existence.

Then, Lake appointed the captains of the three teams. This was a decision he made after comprehensively considering strength and faith. After all, this is the God's Church, which is different from the Demonic Church where the strong prey on the weak and strength is respected.

Therefore, he chose those who are equally strong and have a stronger faith. Gabriel, Marcus and Simon were appointed as team leaders, and each of them led a team of nine people.

Later, Lake formed a school of doctrine with 20 people who had deep faith, dignified appearance and smart personality, and ordered them to concentrate on studying doctrine in the future so that they could spread the faith of God and become missionaries of God.

For other ordinary believers without special talents, Lake also comforted them. He made up a lie:

After a person dies, his soul will be on the scale of faith and be judged. If faith is more important than the soul, he will ascend to the eternal heaven and be with the creator god Ula. On the contrary, if faith is insufficient, he will fall into endless suffering and reincarnation, and each life will be more miserable than the previous one.

Because, every life of a person is an opportunity given by God to all living beings, however, reincarnation again and again will eventually exhaust these opportunities, and eventually the soul will be annihilated and disappear forever in the world.

Lake told everyone that everyone can thank God for his gift in their own way, and there is no need to rush, because our life has just begun, and there is a long way to go.

Of course, he also warned everyone that the belief in God will never be related to the position in which one is located, but only to the firmness of the heart. He also comforted that the faith of the fisherman may be much more important than that of the knight, so that they must have a firm faith.

In this way, everyone was relieved.

In this way, under the leadership of Lake, and in the expectation of everyone, the Creation God Church was officially established.
