The Church of Poseidon stands on a white stone mountain backed by a cliff. It is steep and majestic, with a C-shaped spire on the roof. From a distance, the roof fits perfectly with the full moon. Behind it are the waves beating against the cliff, which looks inexplicably solemn.

When Zhou Ning followed Red-haired Robinson and others to climb the stone mountain, it was around 6:30. The door of the Church of Poseidon was still open, but no believers were seen entering or leaving.

Strangely enough, when Zhou Ning was about ten meters away from the gate of Poseidon Church, he saw the full moon in the sky suddenly turn bright red.

Zhou Ning felt a force boiling inexplicably in his body. He was slightly startled and stopped. There is a saying in "Apocalypse" that when the moon in the sky turns red, it is actually a kind of extreme climate in the weather field, but the extreme is not the elements such as wind, snow, life, and darkness, but the extraordinary power.

He vaguely felt an inexplicable depression in his heart, and something might happen tonight.

Red-haired Robinson also looked up at the red moon in the sky with a serious expression: "Be careful, this reminds me of a legend here."

"Legend?" Zhou Ning looked at Red-Haired Robinson in confusion.

He curled his lips. "Let me be clear, this is just a legend. Over seventy years ago, when Angus Motley's ancestor, Brian Motley, occupied this island with his colonial army, they encountered a similar red moon. Atop this mountain, a terrifying white wolf appeared out of nowhere, summoning a large number of werewolves and tearing apart over four hundred soldiers. Later, the Patriarch of the Church of Poseidon, the God-Favoured One, Edin, personally sealed the wolf and built a church here."

"But according to legend, every time a red moon appears, this giant wolf will inevitably appear. Many people have witnessed the giant wolf wandering along the mountain paths."

"Edin? That name sounds familiar!" Zhou Ning didn't care much about the giant wolf Red-Haired Robinson mentioned, because killing four hundred soldiers was something many powerful transcendents could do. Instead, it was the name Edin that caught his attention.

He raised his eyebrows, suddenly remembering a name he had seen in the simulator.

After acquiring the family motto of "knowledge", he rarely forgets anything unless affected by extraordinary factors.

Almost 1,300 years ago, when One Piece traveled to the world of "War of the Gods", the Cardinal of the Church of Poseidon who collaborated with the One Piece version of himself should have had this name.

Could it be that this person has lived from 1,300 years ago to the present?

It’s terrifying to think about it. If he is really still alive, then after 1,300 years of accumulation, he is at least an angel.

Zhou Ning was silent for a few seconds, reached out to take off the hat on his head, and followed Robinson and others into the church.

As you walk into the church, the sound of the tide brought by the blue tide stone becomes louder and more obvious. In the dark and solemn interior of the church, you can see a statue of the god of the sea standing behind the altar in front of you, which looks particularly sacred.

Zhou Ning vaguely felt that his spirituality was slowly shrinking and sinking, which was a phenomenon of being slightly suppressed by the divinity.

After entering the church, the two pirates who originally had gloomy and unruly expressions lowered their heads unconsciously, and their expressions became solemn. In the confessional on the right side of the aisle, a middle-aged priest in a sea-blue priest robe was sitting on a row of benches and praying.

On either side of the confessional stood several tall northerners in priest robes, more like gangsters than priests.

"Priest Ronald, I'm here to collect the reward." Red-haired Robinson bent down slightly and said humbly, then handed the white bag in his hand to Ronald.

Ronald seemed accustomed to seeing heads. He glanced at the contents of the white pocket, and after repeated confirmation, his eyes lit up slightly. "General Gallagher of the Wind? Well done. The Sea God will bless you."

He glanced at the two pirates, stroking the crest in his hand. "First Mate Hurricane Spike of the Falcon, and Second Mate Sea Snake Steinbeck, three nations have offered a combined bounty of 1 Victa for your capture. An additional 2000 Victa will be added if you capture them alive. Counting Gallagher's 3000, the total bounty for your capture will be 7 Victa."

"Isaac! You take them to collect the bounty!"

"Okay! Sir Ronald!" A tall northerner named Isaac clenched his right fist and placed it on the right side of his temple. He performed a special etiquette of the Church of Poseidon and said solemnly.

For some reason, Zhou Ning saw that Red-Haired Robinson's expression suddenly became a little strange.

Isaac brought Zhou Ning and the other man to a room on the right side of the church. He found the checks corresponding to the three bounties from a row of drawers arranged in alphabetical order, placed them on the table, and pushed them to Zhou Ning, saying in a deep voice:

"Here is a check for 8 victas, payable at any state-owned bank."

"Thank you."

Zhou Ning took the check and felt delighted. With this money, combined with his gains over the past few days, his savings finally exceeded 20 Victa for the first time, and he was getting closer and closer to the 25 Victa required to buy the First Emperor template.

After leaving the Church of Poseidon, Red-Haired Robinson didn't let out a sigh until they had walked a long distance. He said, "I didn't expect Isaac to have joined the Church of Poseidon. He's the captain of six ships in the Night Lord Servis's fleet, a super-class professional with a very brutal personality. Surprisingly, he was also influenced by the Church of Poseidon."

Reformed? Not necessarily.

Zhou Ning put his hat back on, thinking of the extra 3000 Vectra bounty for capturing pirates alive, the reactions of Hurricane Spike and Sea Serpent Steinbeck after they entered the church, and the two rows of priests who looked more like pirates. He felt that the Church of Poseidon was using targeted brainwashing on captured pirates.

It seems that this Poseidon Church is not as simple as what he saw in his previous life.

At this time, a light drizzle had gradually begun to fall from the sky, but a bright red moon was still hanging in the sky. However, on the way down the mountain, the crowd did not encounter the legendary white giant wolf, and soon returned to the city and the port.

Zhou Ning took out his pocket watch, opened it and checked the time. It was a quarter of an hour before eight.

He looked back at Red-Haired Robinson and smiled, "I'm going into town. What about you guys?"

No way? You're not going to take the reward again, are you?

The corner of Red-haired Robinson's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "Let's go back to the ship first. Be careful. Werewolf Mason has a few helpers, and they are not easy to deal with."

Zhou Ning nodded. He naturally understood the need for caution. In fact, he planned to wait and see. He'd been having a bad feeling ever since a while ago. He'd first go to 121 Hailu Street to check out the situation. If anything major happened along the way, he'd take action while ensuring his own safety.
