Katahara: Now let's start the Gathering.
They all had some requests, the German kingdom wanted to continue with their old work as mercenaries, as for the Onis they wanted to go out and explore the new world, for his part Hitsugisukan only said that the reconstruction of his dukedom was going in the best way.
Obviously Hitsugisukan was not present, he was on a giant screen through which he saw and heard everything.
Reiju: Who represents the people of Heaven?
Ragnar: It used to be that Amahiro kid, but he was killed by Shiki's attack, so I guess they don't have a leader...
Katahara: The Sky People will have no leader at the moment.
Reiju: And what about the Kuja tribe, Drust told me that they are under your command and that you just wait for the right moment to raise your flag, I guess Boa Hancock will be their representative in this room.
Ragnar: Having the Kuja on our side will drastically increase our strength, their special constitution makes them perfect for war, and considering their numbers, our army will be something to fear.
Katahara: Boa Hancock will arrive in a few days, and when she arrives we will have a new meeting… now I want the reports on this new character Lorgar Aureliano.
Katahara knew well who that name belonged to.
It is impossible that the Aurelian Logar that I know is here… that damn demon fanatic, if so, I just have to uproot it, Katahara thought.
Reiju: Logar Aureliano, 20 years old, a native of our neighboring island, he is religious, if you ask me what God he preached to before coming to our base, we don't know, he began to preach to all the people of Skypiea about 1 year ago.
Katahara: And how did it get to our base? And a more important question, how did he get to Skypiea if the military is supposed to have the only means of getting there with hot air balloons?
Reiju: We still don't know how he got to the sky islands.
Ragnar: We have him under surveillance 24 hours a day, and all he does is preach about his new god to everyone he sees... and I must say he has a silver tongue, he has a number of followers, Urouge was easily convinced. .
Reiju: Their religious group is still at least 10 people, not counting the late Amahiro, it's even hard to call it a sect, so I don't understand why it poses a threat.
Katahara wondered if it was really just a funny coincidence that Lorgar Aurelian was also the bearer of his god's word, in One Piece.
Ragnar: If what we talked about in the previous meeting is true, we can use this new religion as Social Control, if we consider Social Control as behaviors, ceremonies, beliefs, etc; All this influences the activities of society. Religion is the result of the effort of the human being to contact the "beyond".
Hitsugisukan: Minks especially don't believe in a higher being, but if that belief comes from their savior, then it can easily be adopted by my people...
Reiju: If we can have a religion within all the centralized power and not as a decentralized power, it can be feasible.
Katahara: And tell me who this new god is.
Ragnar: The God Emperor... the Savior of Mankind... in short... cult of the Emperor of Mankind as the one true God of Mankind.
Leaving Katahara in Shock.
------------------------------
In another part of the world, 10 warships were sailing towards Markland Island, the 10 warships were in formation, 9 warships were surrounding the main warship.
Inside the main warship dungeon.
A man was chained up, his hands were in Kairoseki handcuffs, his feet were in another set of Kairoseki handcuffs, he had blood all over his body, but all his wounds were treated, he even had something in his mouth to prevent him from biting. . . . . . his tongue and end his life.
This man was Douglas Bullet.
Outside his celt were 10 of the best warriors, 5 Onis, 3 Skymen and 2 Minks with rifles loaded and ready together to start shooting, with swords ready and I will charge into battle.
And right in front of him, sitting on a chair, was Ryuma who was polishing his Katana.
Ryuma: So you woke up….
Douglas wanted to speak, but couldn't.
Ryuma: We had to gag you to prevent you from biting your tongue when you woke up... gag please.
One of the men enters the cell and I remove the gag from his mouth.
Douglas: So once again imprisoned... Why?
Receiving one last look in response.
Ryuma: Orders… I don't ask why?…
Douglas: So the Raven King wants me alive...
Ryuma: At least you'll lose alive until we reach our base in Markland.
Douglas: I was in one for over 20 years... I guess King Crow will end my life when I get there.
Ryuma took pity on Douglas.
Ryuma: Sometimes what you think is the end of the road is just the beginning of a new one.
Meanwhile, on deck, Laxus was standing next to Laffitte.
Soldier: Commander Laxus, a ship is approaching from the stern...
Laxus: The navy… the Neo marine….
Laffitte: It looks like you have a white flag.
Laxus: All weapon lists.
The boat is brown in color and its prow is a voodoo doll with a giant nail through it. The front mast has a black sail, with a white flag, a lookout tower, and a larger sail on top. The ship's helm is on a raised platform, decorated with voodoo masks. The design of the cabin refers to a hut with a thatched roof.
Laxus: So he's part of those children...
---------------------------------------
In another part of the world, on a revolutionary army ship.
A man was having a call for his Mushi den den.
Karasu: Here, Karasu.
Report...
Karasu: We lost contact with Army South Commander Lindbergh.
As possible, use your vibra card to locate it.
Karasu: His vibra card, it doesn't move in any direction... it's impossible that he was captured by the navy... the men who were there said that a hand dragged him into the shadows supreme commander.
The supreme commander of the revolutionary army was none other than Monkey D. Dragon.
Dragon: We will have to use our contacts to try to find him as soon as possible… we cannot continue with the plans if he is not there, it is a fundamental part of achieving them…. Return to base...
Karasu: As ordered.
As he hung up his Den Den Mushi.
Dragon: I have a bad feeling I hope to do the right thing in the next few days.
