Chapter 228 The Capital of Seven Waters
There are many rules in the pirate world, but generally speaking, strength is respected.

With enough power, you can do a lot of things.

You can openly occupy a country and openly go against the world government.

Therefore, after Aqua demonstrated her extremely terrifying water control ability, the people of Amazon Lily highly recognized Rowan and his group.

Even if it's just a promise and they don't see anything else, they are willing to believe it.

Of course, Rowan did not deceive Hancock and the others.

It may be difficult to provide certain supplies for a long time, but it is not difficult to help Amazon Lily find a way to survive.

Therefore, it was easy to gain the recognition of the entire Amazon Lily country, and they could accept it even if a request was made suddenly.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that those present are all senior executives of Amazon Lily.

They are more rational.

If someone else were here, it certainly wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

However, Amazon Lily will have to go through the pain of this reform on its own.

Finally, Rowan and Kazuma left information about the statues of Aqua, Reshiram, and Kyurem before continuing on their journey to the Seven Water City.

Hancock looked at the departing ship and said, "I don't know if my choice is right. If I'm not careful, I'll fall into the abyss and destroy the entire country."

Her sister immediately said, "Sister, this is a decision made by all of us. Even if we fail, you alone will not be blamed."

Hancock said nothing.

To be able to become the leader, how could she not know anything besides being extremely powerful?

If she fails, more than 90% of the anger will be directed at her - not to mention that it was indeed her who caused it.

After a long pause, Hancock said, "Anyway, since we've chosen to join, we should do as Rowan and the others say. We should suspend our piracy activities and immediately build a statue and offer sacrifices."

Ensuring the safety of the statue is naturally the top priority.

Hancock's sister also understood the importance of the matter and asked, "I'll have someone carve it right away. But sister, after it's finished, which of the three gods should be placed in the main seat?"

They didn't expect that the so-called Akushhinrikyo actually believed in three gods.

If placed in the same temple, there must be a distinction between primary and secondary.

This question made Hancock hesitate.

If it were another sect, it wouldn't matter. Anyway, the so-called gods probably don't exist and can be arranged at will.

But it’s hard to say about Aku Shinrikyo.

She felt that this kind of power might really be the power of God.

After recalling the information about the three gods, she finally made a decision and said, "Place the statue of the water god in the center!"

The Water God has a very special status in this world and no one can ignore him.

"Yes!"

……

Amazon Lily changed little by little according to your plan, while Rowan and others boarded the Seven Water City.

There are usually many ships approaching Water Seven City, but the approach of pirates immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.

Pirates have a very bad reputation on the sea and can bring disaster wherever they go.

Seeing this, Luo Wen was also helpless.

Their ships were directly stolen from pirates, and when they were sailing on the sea, merchant ships would stay away from them if they saw them.

It is normal to receive such treatment near the port.

So Rowan looked at the only local person on the boat and said, "Frankie, please come out and help explain!"

"No problem." Franky's voice was very powerful.

He could not hide his excitement to return to his hometown.

Soon, he came to the bow and shouted, "Don't panic, everyone. I'm Franky, and I don't mean any harm."

He originally wanted to say that he was not a pirate, but he soon remembered that he was Luffy's crew member, so he immediately changed his statement.

Franky is not an unknown person in the Water Seven City.

There were even members of the Franky family among the crowd - the Franky family was a family founded by Frank, whose main occupation was shipbreaking.

As soon as he appeared, he was immediately recognized by the Franky family's cube sisters, Kive and Moz.

The two sisters squeezed through the crowd and came to the ship. They shouted happily: "Brother, why are you back? Didn't you go on an adventure with Luffy and liberate Dressrosa?"

The people of Water Seven don't dislike Luffy very much, so Cube Sister can say it casually.

Franky smiled and said, "Oh, Kive, Moz, long time no see. It turns out our reputation has spread back. This time I came back with a few friends. I have something important to tell you."

Seeing that it was Franky and not a pirate coming to attack, everyone quickly dispersed, leaving only Franky's acquaintances.

Franky took Rowan and the other two off the boat.

The Cube sisters ran over immediately.

Franky immediately introduced them: "Kiwi, Moz, these three are my friends. From left to right, they are Rowan, Sato Kazuma, and Aqua."

Then he looked at Luo Wen and the other two and introduced his two sisters.

After they got to know each other, Frankie's sister, Kiewe, asked, "Brother, you came back so suddenly. Is there something you need to do?"

It was something that would be known sooner or later anyway, so Franky didn't hide it and said, "It's true, but it's about these three people. They have a way to prevent us from being disturbed by the Water Gods and make the Water Gods a thing of the past."

The water gods "Aqua Ragna" is the name given to storm surges by the residents of the Seven Waters Island.

Calling natural disasters "gods" is actually just a manifestation of powerlessness.

The Cube sisters didn't react for a moment after hearing what Franky said.

Completely solve the problem of the water gods. Are they still asleep?
What a loud tone!
Anyone who has witnessed the power of the water gods will not say that they can solve it. That is the power of the gods.

"Brother, you are really good at joking."

Frankie knew this would be the result.

In fact, if he had not seen the abilities of Rowan and Aqua, he would not have believed that the water gods could be completely eliminated.

He looked at Luo Wen and the other two with an apologetic look and said, "Sorry, my two sisters are a little bit bad at speaking." Luo Wen smiled and said, "It's okay. If it were me, I would also be suspicious."

It's normal to doubt!
People cannot understand things beyond their own cognition. This is not a derogatory statement, but a fact.

Once the storm surge is resolved, even if we say nothing and do nothing, there will still be a large number of believers.

Seeing that his sisters were a little unconvinced, Franky hit them on the head with his iron fist to shut them up, and then continued: "Sorry, I'll prepare a place for you to stay. Take a rest. Do you need my help later?"

Luo Wen thought for a moment and said, "If possible, please help us contact the administrator of the Seven Water City. We need to buy a piece of land to establish the Aku Shinrikyo."

"Okay, I'll help you contact them tomorrow." Franky agreed directly. In order to drive away the water gods, he was willing to help in everything he could.

Rowan nodded, then took Kazuma and Aqua to the place arranged by Franky.

After settling in, Kazuma found Luo Wen. He was a little nervous and said, "Do you really want me to give a speech? I have no experience. It would be bad if something goes wrong..."

Luo Wen smiled and said, "You have to trust your eloquence. If that doesn't work, ask Aqua to give you a blessing, such as improving your talent. It can actually be quite useful."

"Is a useless skill like talent improvement really useful?" Kazuma looked skeptical.

But he knew that Luo Wen would not speak carelessly.

Aqua had been sitting quietly by the side, but when she heard what Kazuma said, she immediately exploded and said, "Talent improvement isn't some useless skill, Kazuma, you just don't know what it is. Look at how good Rowan's evaluation is. That's the difference, the difference!"

Kazuma pushed Aqua down with a dark look on his face, looked at Rowan, and asked, "Baozhen?"

"Reliable!"

"You call liars puppies."

"A liar is a puppy." Luo Wen was also amused and explained, "Think about it carefully. Aqua can liven up the atmosphere in any situation. This is also a kind of ability, and the improvement of talent plays a big role in it."

In fact, Aqua’s abstractness also plays a big role. Of course, it is undeniable that Aqua is really talented.

"Look, look, Kazuma, you don't understand me as well as Rowan." Aqua came closer again.

Kazuma was speechless. Rowan knew their world, so how could he not understand Aqua?

But since Rowan said so, Kazuma plans to let Aqua try it tomorrow, which would be good to give her some psychological comfort.

Seeing that Kazuma was still a little nervous, Rowan said, "Don't say anything else. Just talk about how powerful the gods are and how they can handle storm surges. When the time is right, read out the teachings. To be honest, the teachings of Aku Shinrikyo are quite suitable for the world of pirates."

One of the core tenets of Akushin Shinrikyo is very special: "No matter what you do, you will regret it. Since you will regret it anyway, why not take the easy way out? Even the gods don't know what the future will hold, so just laugh it off now."

Translated, it means enjoy life while you can and don't regret it.

This was added by Aqua. This is how the Akusis Cult in their world works.

Luo Wen thought about it and felt that this was also true, so he didn't care much about it.

Needless to say, this kind of teaching is very attractive to people in the pirate world.

Speaking of doctrine, Kazuma was worried and said, "Is this new doctrine based on the teachings of Axis really without any problems?"

In order to establish the sect, Kazuma revised the original version of the doctrine. Later, after being modified by Aqua, most of the doctrine content became the doctrine of Axis.

He gave it to Rowan for revision, originally expecting it to be drastically altered, but when the doctrine was given to him again, he discovered that only a few items had been added, and none of the doctrines added by Aqua had been modified.

"Of course there is no problem. Axis's teachings are very good."

"My dear friend, Kazuma, did you hear me? Please praise me more often." Aqua was so moved that she almost cried when she heard what Rowan said.

This was the first time that the teachings of Axis were recognized by outsiders.

Kazuma was confused and ignored it, just took out the doctrine and looked through it.

He felt a little ashamed at the thought of having to recite this stuff again tomorrow.

But at this point, he could no longer retreat and could only be prepared.

……

The next day, Frankie came and said, "I've already contacted Aspagu, the mayor of Seven Waters. If you want to buy land, you can talk to him."

Kazuma was a little surprised and asked, "Do I need to meet with the mayor to buy land?"

In his impression, the mayor would not care about such trivial matters.

Franky touched the back of his head and said a little embarrassedly: "It was actually me who wanted to see you. I have a close relationship with him, so I said a few more words. He is very interested in you."

He felt as if he had made something that was originally simple a little complicated.

Kazuma looked at Luo Wen and asked, "How do we arrange it? Does the promotion need to be postponed?"

"No need. You go do the propaganda, and I'll go meet Mayor Aspagu. If we can get Mayor Aspagu's support, many things will be much easier. Besides, for preaching, forget about that. What we're going to do next, we also need the mayor's consent."

Kazuma thought that they were going to attack Mary Geoise and set up Aku Shinrikyo in Water Seven, which was actually forcibly tying Water Seven and them together. Even if they were very confident, it was actually quite deceptive and really needed to be discussed.

"Okay, I'll leave that to you!"

Then Luo Wen and Kazuma separated.

Kazuma went to the most crowded place in Water Seven to promote his work, while Rowan went to meet the mayor.

The mayor of Water Seven is actually also the president of Carrera, the largest shipbuilding company in Water Seven.

Originally, Aspago had the most heavily guarded mansion on the island, but after a series of events, the mansion was burned down by the World Government's lackeys CP9, and the place where he is now is a temporary mansion.

When Rowan arrived, Aspagu, who was wearing a red and black plaid shirt, stood up from his chair and said, "Hello, Mr. Rowan, welcome to the Seven Waters City."

As the saying goes, one shouldn't hit a smiling person. Luo Wen was also very polite and said, "Hello, Mayor Aspagu, I've heard a lot about you."

Aspagu is loved and revered in the Seven Waters.

"Haha, Mr. Luo Wen is very polite."

After some pleasantries between the two, Aspagu asked Rowan to sit down and talked about business: "I have heard about what Mr. Rowan and his group want to do. They want to establish a sect in the Seven Waters. The Seven Waters welcomes everyone. There is no problem. But I heard from Frankie that establishing a sect seems to be just a small matter."

"Even helping to deal with the Water Gods is a small matter. May I ask what your real big matter is? Can our Seven Water Cities bear it?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, his words went straight to the point.

Franky didn't think too much about it, but as the mayor, he had to consider it.

Seeing Aspagu being so straightforward, Rowan naturally didn't hide anything and said, "After we establish our sect, we plan to attack Mary Geoise and rescue the slaves."

As soon as these words came out, Aspagu's expression instantly became serious, and he said, "Mr. Luo Wen, do you know that our company is cooperating with the World Government? Aren't you afraid that I will tell on you?"

Luo Wen's face was calm as he said, "Mr. Aspagu, don't scare me. I know a lot. If the cooperation is really so strong, the mayor's mansion would not be destroyed."
