Rearguard Water is a character from the old book of "A Certain Magical Index." He is a special "holy person" with the characteristics of both a "holy mother" and a "holy child."
Each holy person has "holy marks" and the power to easily take over a city, which is like a nuclear weapon on the magic side. Rearguard Water is special among these holy people.
Rearguard Water, whose real name is William Orwell, is also part of the "Right Seat of God" in the Roman Catholic Church. The Right Seat of God are people who have gotten rid of original sin in order to get closer to God, and they can use incomplete "angel magic" because of this.
But they can't use normal magic because of this. However, Rearguard Water's "holy mother" quality not only lets him use 200% of his holy person powers, but also lets him use normal magic in addition to the incomplete angel magic that comes with getting rid of original sin as part of the Right Seat of God.
The Right Seat of God corresponds to the four archangels, and Rearguard Water corresponds to the power of God, Gabriel. His strength is undeniable.
Genichi thought about it and felt like something wasn't right. The holy people in "A Certain Magical Index" are basically products of "idol worship." In a way, you could say they're based on "faith."
Basically, people worship holy children, which creates holy people with similar body features. This gives them some of the holy child's power.
But in the world of "One Piece"...
Do people really believe in Christianity?
It's not that there's no similar faith in the world of "One Piece." For example, there are nuns, churches, and even Satan, but the belief system here is very different from Christianity.
He wondered what kind of impact this change would have on Rearguard Water.
Genichi thought about it and made Rearguard Water appear.
As he expected, there were some problems with Rearguard Water.
Rearguard Water's power comes from idol worship, Christianity, and the archangel Gabriel. But none of those things exist in the world of "One Piece." This means that Rearguard Water needs to blend into this world with even greater care.
To put it simply...
Rearguard Water needs to become more local!
There's no idol worship in this world, but people's wishes can turn into Devil Fruits. Wishes have magical powers. There's no Christianity, but there is faith. There's no archangel Gabriel...
But there is the sea!
That's right, the sea!
The sea in the world of "One Piece" is definitely a source of great power, and it does seem to have a little bit of will of its own. Devil Fruit users can't swim because of the sea's will.
But this blending will take time.
"Am I going to have to create another religion?" Genichi looked a bit strange. Actually, it might not be that hard. People have always been in awe of the sea. Even strong people at sea respect the sea. People have faith in the ocean.
Even if Genichi does nothing, the things that are unique to Rearguard Water from "A Certain Magical Index" will slowly blend with the rules of the "One Piece" world and gradually match up.
During this blending, this world will even spontaneously generate this kind of faith. The rules of the "One Piece" world will change Rearguard Water, and the features that Rearguard Water brings can also change the world.
But compared to a single person, the world is too big. So sometimes, these changes are hard to see.
For example, when the Soul Reaper rules that Kuchiki Byakuya carries blend into the world of "One Piece," maybe people who die in this world will have a chain of fate like the souls in the "Soul Reaper" world. They'll either become normal spirits, or even Soul Reapers, or they'll become Hollows.
But the world is too big, and even if this kind of change happens, it will take a long time. And it will definitely start with one person at a time.
At this moment, Genichi thought of another question.
"Why do character cards that cost ten million have some kind of limit?"
Aatrox has his sword as a seal, and Rearguard Water has some features that are unique to his own world that need to blend in slowly. While they are strong, it's true, having two in a row like this makes him wonder if there's something special about character cards that cost ten million.
Okay, he has over eight million positive emotions now. He needs a little over one million more to reach ten million.
Genichi was a little excited. Items are a bit stronger than characters of the same level. Million-level item cards are already close to ten million-level character cards in some ways. What amazing item will a ten million-level item card have?
He was curious...
But he also had some doubts.
Because unless it costs over one hundred million, he won't be able to draw an item that's from beyond this world. From that point of view, maybe a ten million item won't be much stronger than a million item!
Would it be a waste to not use ten million-level item card when he has ten million-level item cards available?
But...
Genichi is pretty rich now, so it's not like he can't afford to experiment once.
It used to be hard to get positive emotions, but now he has his own country. As long as that country develops well, people will naturally give him positive emotions.
"Okay, if that's the case, churches can also help collect positive emotions." Thinking of this, Genichi felt even stronger about the idea of building churches.
And...
It's not good to only have one demon hunter acting openly, right?
Genichi's mouth curved up slightly. Rearguard Water needs some time to blend with the world, so he'll speed up the process.
...
Doflamingo hates this world.
He hates the mobs who actually attacked him, he hates the father who brought him from the holy land to this filthy world, and he hates the world's rudeness towards him.
"Why do you have to take away even my rights!"
In the collapsed ruins, Doflamingo angrily spoke to his father.
"It's too late! Your foolishness caused all of this!"
His father was Donquixote Homing, a former Celestial Dragon. But he was a fool who gave up his special Celestial Dragon privileges, and was eventually hunted down by the people who had been bullied by the Celestial Dragons in the past. He had fallen to this point.
Homing felt a bit sad to have his own son pointing a gun at his head, but he also felt a sense of relief, as if he were being freed. He just hugged his son, Doflamingo's younger brother, Donquixote Rocinante.
"I'm going to use your head to go back to the holy land!"
Doflamingo's angry words came. Tears flowed from Homing's eyes. He said to his two sons with the relief of someone who had let go:
"Doflamingo, Rocinante, I'm sorry...for being a father like me."
Bang!
All regret must disappear. After Doflamingo pulled the trigger, his body fell. Only Rocinante was left, painfully watching this scene.
