Chapter 278 Meeting, Gathering in 1 Hall
The first time it appeared, Divine Punishment used bloody and violent means to help the rebels of the Kingdom of Lafia overthrow the rule of the nobles and the royal family. Since then, Divine Punishment seemed to have disappeared until it appeared again six years ago.
But apart from that, the World Government did not find any useful information.
They also tried to contact members of the Divine Punishment Organization, but received no response, which made the World Government and the Navy Headquarters very uneasy.
Other organizations, such as pirates, are naturally enemies of the navy, there is no doubt about that.
For example, not many people know about it now, but the Revolutionary Army that will later influence the whole world is naturally the enemy of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, and there is no dispute about it.
But is God's punishment a friend or an enemy? Unknown.
The navy’s perception of divine punishment is actually not that bad. After all, although divine punishment makes them very alert, it does maintain peace.
But the world government felt a chill down its spine, and some people couldn't even sleep well.
Because according to the standards of divine punishment, these five celestial dragons have all of the following: bullying the weak, oppressing the good, plundering at will, seizing by trickery, and brutally slaughtering people.
Although there has not been any conflict between the Divine Punishment, the Navy, and the World Government, they have not done anything that violates the laws of the World Government or the Navy.
But what about the future?
Who knows what the real purpose of God’s punishment is?
Moreover, the influence and strength of Divine Punishment are now visibly expanding, to a point that cannot be ignored.
Although it seems that the Divine Punishment Organization is harmless now, an organization with many powerful people and no one knows anything about it is definitely not what the Navy and the World Government want to see.
This feeling is really disturbing, so how strong is the divine punishment?
A member of the Divine Punishment, who was once misunderstood by Vice Admiral Decar of the Marine Headquarters while on a mission, and a battle ensued. The two sides fought back and forth but no one was decided.
Finally, with the mediation of another person from the divine punishment, the misunderstanding was resolved and the two of them stopped fighting.
Another member of Divine Punishment even defeated the famous pirate group in the New World, the Golden Pirates, alone, while that member of Divine Punishment himself remained unscathed.
These are just two of the members. As for how strong the other members are, the whole world has no idea.
In the first half of the Grand Line, on a mysterious island, ships were constantly docking, and about ten people were getting off each ship.
These people were all dressed very strangely. Each of them wore a strange mask and a white hooded cloak.
The words "Divine Punishment" were printed on the back of the cloak, and codes were printed on the left chest. Everyone who came down walked towards the center of the bare island.
There is a three-meter-high cave here, and a man is standing at the entrance of the cave.
This person was wearing a strange clown face mask and a cape, and was greeting everyone.
"The clown is here to greet you on behalf of the leader!" The man in the clown mask bowed respectfully when he saw someone arriving.
As people arrived one after another, there were more than two hundred people entering the cave.
When the last man, who was ten meters tall, entered the cave, the man in the clown mask also turned around and entered the cave.
The deepest part of the cave was not their final destination, but a huge door to a dark space.
Once you step through this door, you will be immediately teleported to another completely unknown place. The place you are teleported to is where everyone will eventually gather.
Around a large conference table, more than two hundred people sat in an orderly manner according to the codes on their seats.
The seats at the front belong to the Divine Punishment leader, staff officers, special members, and leaders of each major branch, while ordinary members sit in the back in order.
"It seems that, except for a few people, almost everyone has arrived!" Suddenly a voice came from above the venue.
Then, a man wearing a strange ghost mask on his face and a white hooded cloak like the others was slowly floating down from a high place.
At the same time, the man with the ghost face continued, "Of course, the few who didn't come all had special reasons, and they all said hello to me."
The man with the ghost face mask was none other than Lu Kai, who founded the Divine Punishment.
"Wow, my king is here!" Suddenly a charming female voice sounded.
A woman wearing a mask with a pattern of a beautiful woman holding a pink flower in her mouth stared at the slowly falling figure with shining eyes.
"I really want to see what kind of face is under that mask. The voice is so nice, it must be my type."
Flower Girl: Leader of the First Division of the North Sea Divine Punishment.
"Flower girl, the chief doesn't like the title of king. You'd better say less, or you will be punished by the chief again." A rough voice under an extremely cute teddy bear mask said to Flower Girl.
Cute Bear: Leader of the Second Division of the North Sea Divine Punishment.
"Hahaha!" another voice sounded, a voice from behind a wolf head mask said, "The leader's aura has become stronger again. He's really a pervert. I was easily defeated by him last time, so I'm afraid I'm no match for him this time."
Garou: Leader of the New World Divine Punishment Division 3.
Real identity: Olin.
"I took a risk by coming here." An old voice under a death mask said, "So please stop talking nonsense, and finish the meeting first. After the meeting, we will leave in a hurry.
"You guys are not in a hurry, you can stay as long as you want. If you want to spar with the leader, please go ahead. Anyway, you are a bunch of guys who are asking for trouble, and you only want to be abused all day long."
Death God: Leader of the First Division of the Grand Line Divine Punishment.
“Death, who are you talking about? You talk as if you can beat the leader?” the man wearing the golden rooster mask said unhappily.
Golden Rooster: Leader of the third division of the Grand Line Divine Punishment.
"Okay, Jinji, this is the temper of the God of Death. You all should stop talking and let's get straight to the point." Lu Kai spoke up to stop the bickering.
Then Lu Kai nodded to the man wearing a clown mask next to him.
The clown man immediately hung a huge parchment scroll behind the ghost, but the parchment scroll was not opened.
"Everyone, what is the creed of our divine punishment?" Lu Kai asked.
"In the name of God, let's fight against all the evil in this world!" Everyone answered in unison.
"That's right!" Lu Kai said, "And because of everyone's efforts, we have been very successful over the years.
"With everyone's intelligence sharing and everyone's efforts, we have protected what we each wanted to protect over the years.
"Some people drove away the evil pirates and protected their hometowns and relatives, while others drove away the rebels and protected their own country.
"Some people beat away local bullies with powerful backgrounds, and some people drove away the navy that was supposed to protect the people but was actually unkind and unjust, allowing the people to live a new life."
“And we not only provided shelter ourselves, but also helped many other people, other islands, and other countries.
“Many of our countries, islands, and jurisdictions have even become forbidden areas for pirates and evil people. Now they are prosperous and stable, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
"But all of this is just the initial stage and the most basic requirement."
