From the Wandenreich's escape to One Piece

Chapter 120 Albert; Fleet Admiral Kong!

"Okay, I understand."

Near the Red Line, Beltz and Litoto ended their conversation.

The sea breeze made his black coat flutter, but he didn't feel cold; instead, he showed a gentle smile.

From her, Beltz learned that she had successfully created a shadow space in the shadow of Marine Headquarters.

They also knew the general area to be set up, and knew where to enter and where to exit.

Then all we need to do is follow the plan.

About two months later, Shiki's intelligence network finally found news of the Roger Pirates on the vast ocean.

As a result, Shiki's fleet was almost entirely mobilized.

In this day and age, two legendary pirates meet once again!

Unlike their previous encounters, this time Shiki brought dozens of large ships with him!

His massive fleet, like a swarm of bees awakened, poured out in all directions!

These dozens of ships, each with a different design but all flying the flags of the flying pirates, sailed away from the waters of Wano Country, blotting out the sky as they surged toward their target area.

These thousands of fierce pirates were sharpening their knives, their murderous aura soaring to the sky.

In this era, the scale of a pirate group's operation, with a clear will to conquer, is almost unprecedented!

Even the Rocks Pirates only conquered the most vicious villains in the world, and when they set sail, they only had one ship, or at most two or three ships.

This is all thanks to Beltz's inspiration; otherwise, few pirates today would have the mindset of colonizing nations.

Colonizing a large country yields far greater benefits than robbing pirates at sea, and it's much more convenient!

It can be said that Shiki at this time is equivalent to one of the Four Emperors in later generations. Not only is he personally powerful, but he also has a large territory and a large number of subordinates.

Anyone who starts a war with him is essentially starting one!

The news swept the world like a tsunami, with the Navy Headquarters bearing the brunt!

After a period of relative leisure, the navy personnel were mobilized almost entirely upon receiving this news.

"The Golden Lion has declared that he will subdue Roger near the waters of the Magara Kingdom, and he has already led his massive fleet there!"

Upon hearing this, Garp turned and left almost immediately!

"Feed Garp! I haven't finished speaking yet!"

When Marshal Kong saw that Garp was about to leave, he quickly said, "You haven't finished speaking yet, it has nothing to do with me. I've already heard everything."

"You idiot!" Seeing Garp about to leave, Sorami's forehead veins bulged with anger. "Sengoku has been keeping an eye on Shiki's side the whole time. Now that he and Tsuru have already been mobilized, what will happen to headquarters' safety if you leave too?!"

"Isn't this what you're here for, Marshal!" Garp's voice came from the distant corridor, carrying a resolute tone that left Sora helpless.

He had an extraordinary obsession with Roger, and nothing could stop him from going anywhere he heard news of the Roger Pirates.

This was also Beltz's plan.

He knew that once Shiki made contact with Roger, according to the manga, Sengoku, Tsuru, and Garp from the Marine Headquarters would all be dispatched.

Tsuru doesn't know, but Sengoku and Garp are undoubtedly the Navy Headquarters' top combat forces.

It would be much easier for Beltz to move around if the two of them weren't around.

After realizing that he couldn't control Garp at all, Sora scratched his head.

But there's nothing we can do about it; unlike other pirates, Shiki's mind is far too dangerous.

He was a pirate who truly inherited Rocks' evil ideology; his ambition wasn't to plunder and pillage, but to conquer the world.

And he is putting his ideas into practice step by step.

It is said that Shiki moved Beehive Island, the former stronghold of the Rocks Pirates.

Many pirates followed him and continued to recruit and expand their power in the New World.

From this perspective, none of the other pirates combined are as despicable as Shiki's current behavior.

Now Shiki has made contact with Roger again. If these two groups cooperate, the world will really be doomed.

Therefore, sending out more combat forces is still not enough.

The problem is that a few months ago, the World Government delivered a batch of important resources, which were temporarily placed at the Navy Headquarters and instructed them to keep a close watch on them.

Two months ago, the Five Elders repeatedly emphasized that "no mistakes are allowed."

Now that Sengoku and Garp are gone, isn't he the only one left to look after the Marine Headquarters?

"To think that a dignified Grand Master would personally have to oversee the goods."

but----

This is the Marine Headquarters after all, and over the years, no pirate has dared to cause trouble here.

Thinking about this, he relaxed a lot.

While the Marine Headquarters and Shiki the Golden Lion were making their moves, Beltz had already arrived near the Marine Headquarters.

Following the clues given by Litoto, he found the entrance to the Shadow Realm in the shadow of an inconspicuous jagged rock on the north side of Marineford.

As if passing through a viscous film of water, he found himself in darkness and silence.

That's how it is in the shadows, unless you modify the laboratories within the Shadow Realm like Vegapunk did.

As a Quincy, he had become accustomed to this environment.

He simply moved south naturally and soon discovered a laboratory.

This place was originally supposed to be the Navy's experimental training camp, but later the World Government evacuated a group of people and transported a batch of their resources from outside.

He didn't rush to take Albert away, but instead observed the laboratory from the shadows first.

Unsurprisingly, he discovered experimental data and information on "giantization" within it.

The world government has been researching ways to make humans gigantic for hundreds of years.

Later, they hired Caesar so that he could complete this centuries-old research.

Beltz was also somewhat interested in this experiment.

In addition, there is a great deal of research on weapons.

He memorized the location of the experimental data and then went to the area where the experimental subjects were being held.

Alberu's features are still very easy to recognize. He is not old, only twelve years old, but his characteristics as a member of the Lunaria race are too obvious.

Of all the test subjects, his skin was darker and he had a pair of black wings on his back.

He is currently strapped to a certain instrument.

But after thinking about it, he felt that he still couldn't just take Jin with him.

Many of these test subjects are from special races, or are test subjects brought in by the World Government through its secret slave trade. If they stay here, they will eventually be killed by the World Government.

If these people were taken away, their resentment and anger towards the World Government would certainly make them an indispensable mid-level force for any organization.

In pirate battles, it's always king against king, general against general, soldier against soldier. The outcome of a battle at the top can determine the outcome of a battle at the bottom, and vice versa.

This is why the world government is so eager to conquer the Giant Kingdom.

Because the soldiers of the Giant Kingdom can easily reach the level of lieutenant general through training, and they have long lifespans, so they can serve as a fighting force for a long time.

With that thought in mind, Beltz emerged from the shadows and quietly took away the research materials sealed in the archives.

Giving these experimental data to Vegapunk would likely be helpful to his experiments.

While the abilities of the World Government scientists certainly cannot compare to Vegapunk's, they can still offer some inspiration and basic assistance.

After putting away the documents, he appeared directly in front of Alberto.

Alberto's eyes were numb, and he was bound to a steel plate, surrounded by guards and researchers in white coats.

When Beltz emerged from the shadows, none of the others showed any expression, except for Albert, who was shocked!

Psychology is in hiding!

Beltz used psychological invisibility to make himself unnoticed by these people, allowing only Albert to see him.

He took those materials in the same way before; it just goes to show how incredibly useful psychological stealth is when infiltrating.

"Come with me, how about it? I'll take you to the land of freedom."

Ignoring those who "couldn't see" him, Beltz walked directly up to Albert and said, "You—who are you?" Albert watched Beltz approach without any reaction, his pupils dilated, and he exclaimed in shock, as if he had seen a ghost, "You—who are you?"

He was shocked to find that after he spoke, no one else made a sound.

"According to what people say, I should be a pirate now."

Beltz said, "However, as for myself, I should be considered—someone who can change the world."

"Change this world—" Albert's pupils contracted upon hearing this: "Can you do it?"

"I should say, only I can do it," Beltz said softly. "Want to come with me?"

"I—I'll go with you!" For Alberto, he had no other choice.

If I don't go with Beltz, then I'll just have to stay here and be a guinea pig for the rest of my life.

Although he didn't know who Beltz was, he was amazed that Beltz had been able to come up to him so quietly, without anyone else noticing.

This ability alone is enough to prove that he is a man I can follow.

Having been captured and brought here for who knows how many years, Albert was almost in despair. But Beltz, who suddenly appeared here and said he would take him away, was the only light in his dark world!

Beltz extended his fingers and casually shot two arrows, shattering Albert's handcuffs and shackles, causing him to slide off.

Albert fell to the ground, then stood up. Feeling his free body, he couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "Why—why can't they see us?"

"No, someone will find us, so we need to hurry."

Beltz said in a deep voice, "Besides you, there are other people in the lab. We need to hurry and take them away as well."

Although the laboratory was full of researchers, he sensed a powerful aura emanating from it.

If nothing unexpected happens, then that will be Marshal Kong now.

It's not a big deal now, but over time, my psychological invisibility can't keep me hidden from a powerful figure like Kong forever.

So he has to hurry.

He led Alberu to the second laboratory, rescued the second test subject, then the third, the fourth—

Just after he released the fifth test subject, he suddenly felt that the aura of emptiness had become extremely terrifying!

Sora had already arrived at Albert's laboratory. He immediately saw the broken handcuffs and shackles, and the missing Albert.

He was jolted, and then broke out in a cold sweat.

This person was the most important experimental subject that the Five Elders personally instructed him to keep a close eye on!

But now, it's lost?!

This could affect my career!

"What are you doing?!"

Kong angrily demanded, "Where is Albert?"

His shout startled the guards and researchers in the room. They turned around and saw the empty space, and suddenly noticed the empty experimental bed.

"How... did they suddenly disappear?!"

They also looked shocked and incredulous; in their eyes, Albert had simply vanished suddenly!

"You bastard!"

Kong was furious. His Observation Haki had already detected Beltz's location, which surprised him because he had scanned the area several times before but had not detected Beltz.

Only now did this person's presence suddenly appear in his detection.

What's going on?

But he couldn't care less about that now. He was also glad that the other party hadn't left yet, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to explain himself.

He rushed over as fast as he could, determined not to let that audacious fellow escape!

How dare they trespass into the Marine Headquarters! What utter contempt!

If this gets out, where will he put his face?!

boom!

He smashed the steel gate with a single punch, only to find Beltz standing there alone.

But that's impossible! He clearly sensed the presence of six people just now!

Beltz had just slipped the last Alberu into the shadows, and before he could even go in himself, he saw the empty space.

pity.

He felt a little regretful; if he had been a few seconds later, he could have entered the shadow and left directly.

But now it's clear that Kong won't let him leave just like that.

"Damn it! Who are you?! How dare you trespass into Marine Headquarters!"

As he spoke, Kong threw a punch at Beltz.

Seeing that he couldn't leave directly through the shadow, Beltz's eyes hardened, and he threw a punch as well!

puff!

boom!

The two unleashed powerful Armament Haki, and black lightning shot straight out, the immense force even causing a massive explosion!

With a loud bang, a huge hole was blown open in the room!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Beltz jumped out through the large hole above!

What?!

Seeing that this guy was actually able to exchange a punch with him, Kong was both angry and shocked!

He leaped out, and so did he!

He absolutely cannot let this guy get away!

"Don't even think about running away!"

As a naval officer, he was naturally proficient in the Six Powers. At this moment, he was standing on the air, chasing after Beltz, who was also moving in the air.
