The streets are unified in white. In the center of the city, a magnificent white temple that would make anyone look up and gasp.
　It is the main temple of the Marinefords and the center of the Marineford nation.
　Two men in all black are standing in a lavishly decorated room, and on the floor is a pure white robe. And an old man wearing a pure white robe was huddled on the floor.
　The white robe is stained red in places.

'...... ughhhh ......'

　The old man in the white robe groaned from the pain, but the men didn't care, kicking the old man up and causing him pain.

'Are you ready to open the treasure room now?'
"...... That's not ...... possible. You can't open .......

　The Pope refuses to open the treasury, despite the pain he endures. But the attackers took their next move.
　Another black-robed figure emerged from the door, holding a still young girl, unconscious, in one hand.
　At the church headquarters, they were raising an orphan with blessings as an apprentice. There were a good number of people to manage the large temple, and they were doing menial work, deepening their faith and being sent as priests and sisters to the cities of the nations in the future.
　The man had captured three young girls who were still young. The girls are huddled and trembling as the man threatens them with a knife.

'If you don't open the treasury, we'll have to deal with the kids in turn. How many do you think the Pope can withstand?

　With a grin and a black grin, the man grabs one girl and places the tip of the knife against the girl's neck.

'Wait for ......!　We don't want our children to be harmed. ......
'I didn't hear that word. Are you going to open it or not?

　As the blade of the knife the man was holding slid down the girl's cheek, a crimson straight line formed on her cheek and bleeding occurred from it.

'...... Kyi, Pope. ......'
'Huh. What's next for your neck?　And there are two others still out there.

　The man pointed the tip of the knife from his cheek to his neck.
'Mugu ....... Wow, okay .......

　The Pope clenched his fists and decided to open the treasure room.
　The girls were tied up and rolled on the spot, with the Pope leading the way to the treasure room.
　It was quiet in the temple at midnight, with only the sound of footsteps walking down the corridor.
　After a few minutes of walking, the door that housed the treasury came into view.
　The treasure room of the temple is strictly controlled and is unlocked by the Pope by channeling his magic power into the crystal installed in the door.
　Successive popes are supposed to register their magic power during the changeover ceremony.
　If anyone else tries to force it open, an alarm will sound and a temple knight will immediately rush to the door.

''Come on, open it quickly. If you don't open it, the little girls from earlier ...... you know what I'm talking about.
"Wow, okay, ....... I'll open it now: ......

　The Pope woke up with a trembling hand to the crystal and let the magic flow through it. At the same time, there was a clatter and the sound of a lock being unlocked.

"Come on, open it. Come on, let's get inside.

　The other man heaved as he opened the door and found it filled with treasures, books and jewelry.

This is awesome. If this is all you have, you could live the rest of your life playing with it.
I don't care what it is, just find what you want.
...... I get it.

　One of them put a knife to the Pope's back, while the other two ransacked the treasure room.

'What do you guys want ......?'

　The Pope asks weakly, and the man puts his hand to his chin and thinks for a moment.

''Well, okay. We're here for the 'Jewel of the Summoner'. It's right here, right?
What the hell?　S-, it's ......

　The Pope's eyes widened at the unexpected purpose. The Pope also thought that the bandits were after the treasure. But it would be a terrible thing if they took out the most important summoning treasures and other treasures for the Marineford cult.

''Oi. I've got a box over here that looks important.　See, it's like a jewel inside. Maybe it's this one.
'Oh, yeah. I found what I'm looking for and it's .......

　As they were rummaging through the treasure room, they spotted another treasure chest that was placed side by side. That treasure chest was even more important than the summoning jewels, with more chains wrapped around the treasure chest.
　Anyone could sense that it was an important item.

''I think I can take this one with me, and my client will be happy about it, right?　I'm sure you'll get an extra reward or two.
Well, okay. I think I can carry that much.

　They packed the two boxes into a magic bag and put some treasures together just for the sake of completeness.

''I'll have to take this as a bonus.

　The two men joined the popes who were waiting at the entrance.

'Did you get what you wanted?'
Of course. And I packed a bunch of other stuff for you, too.

　The man who was holding the knife to the Pope nodded, though he looked a little dumbfounded.

'Alright, we've done our business now. The rest can be found at .......

　The man chuckled and thrust the knife straight into the Pope's back.

''Ugghh ...... guhaha!''

　The Pope spits out blood and falls down.

"Hey, you can use recovery magic, so why don't you get rid of it properly?

　The other man thrust more knives out of his pocket, confirming the Pope's demise.

'Now we can go back to the country and play for the rest of our lives. Let's get back to it.
Yeah, he'll be fine until tomorrow. Let's get the hell out of here.

　Leaving the Pope alive, the men in black disappeared from the temple, leaving the Pope alive.

　
　The next day. The incident was exposed when a priest came to receive the Pope in his room and found the bound children.
　A stabbed Pope was found in the treasury with the door half open, and the Marineford church was in an uproar, and the news spread at once to the nations.
