From the Wandenreich's escape to One Piece

Chapter 135 New God's Knights? Snow-Snow Fruit Acquired

Beltz brought the giant robot back to Wano Country.

After placing the Conqueror's Hide Knot into his shadow, he left again.

He was a little worried that the World Government might resort to desperate measures and launch an all-in attack on Wano Country.

After all, what he had done before was enough to drive the world government crazy.

He didn't think it was a big deal when he killed the Fleet Admiral, because he didn't believe the World Government would bother him for a mere Fleet Admiral.

Fleet Admiral sounds impressive, but in the eyes of the World Government, the Navy is just their dog.

When the owner needs it, the dog only needs to bark a couple of times.

What kind of logic is there in an owner seeking revenge for a dog that they could abandon at any time?

But things are different now. He's not killing Marines anymore, he's killing Celestial Dragons! And quite a few of them!

He treated the Five Elders and the Knights of God like dogs.

This is outrageous!

Therefore, Beltz couldn't say exactly how much the World Government hated him.

If they insist on killing me, then even Wano Country won't be safe.

Theoretically speaking, if he were in Wano Country, he would have Shiki's help. Given how he treated the Five Elders and the Knights of God like dogs in Mary Geoise, plus Shiki, what would he be afraid of from the World Government?

But that's not how it's said.

He was indeed powerful back then, but no matter how powerful he was, he still couldn't break through the immortality of the Five Elders!

In other words, he can't kill the Five Elders!

Even if you use Conqueror's Haki to entangle them, it can only slow down their regeneration!

If it were a one-on-one fight, he could easily chop the Five Elders into minced meat, throw them into the sea, and fight them however he wanted.

However, if there are five people, then it will be a bit troublesome. If one person is seriously injured, the remaining four can recover as long as they are held on for a while.

In this way, anyone could be dragged to their death by the Five Elders!

After all, his strongest state of supreme enlightenment is extremely physically demanding, and even he cannot use it for an extended period of time.

Therefore, Beltz still felt that what he should do most was to wander on the high seas for a while, so that he could draw the World Government's firepower to himself instead of Wano Country.

As I said before, nothing is more important right now than Vegapunk creating clones!

Do not disturb him in any way!

Beltz preferred to face the World Government alone rather than let the World Government's attack on Wano Country affect Vegapunk's progress.

So he started showing up in public from time to time, and now his popularity surpasses that of any other pirate crew in the world. He doesn't even need to do anything; he just needs to appear somewhere, and he'll immediately make headlines!

In the blink of an eye, another six months had passed, during which time Beltz had been pursued by the World Government on numerous occasions.

However, most of the pursuit was carried out by the navy.

The God's Speed ​​Bump must have been terrified of Beltz, because they realized that Beltz could really take them down!

They used to bully others because of their immortality, but when faced with an enemy who could truly break through their immortality, they were immediately terrified and became as fearful as snakes and scorpions.

For the past six months, Beltz has spent most of his time fighting against Garp Sengoku.

Garp certainly wasn't there to avenge the Celestial Dragons; in fact, he found it quite satisfying to kill one of them.

However, Beltz also killed Sora. No matter how bad Sora was, he was the one who promoted Garp. They were a small group back then.

So Garp came to Beltz mainly to avenge Kong.

Even without entering the state of perfect holy body, Beltz is no longer someone Garp can easily subdue simply by using Dragonman Mode.

His current weakness lies in his lack of accumulation; his reserves of Haki are still too small, but his main weakness is in Armament Haki.

Conqueror's Haki isn't something you learn through training; it comes from aura and confidence. For example, after Beltz destroyed the Holy Land, his power increased dramatically, and even his Conqueror's Haki became stronger!

Although he could use the Holy Servant to replenish his domineering aura after activating the Perfect Holy Body, he still wasn't used to using it.

Even if it's just to protect yourself, you should use less of the power that's so closely related to Yhwach.

Although he couldn't beat Garp, Garp couldn't catch him either.

To reiterate, the ability to fly is far too powerful, and coupled with the thick skin and flesh of the Azure Dragon Fruit, making him extremely resilient, he has fought against the Navy thirty or forty times in the past six months without sustaining any injuries.

On this day, Beltz arrived in the North Sea and met Litoto in a mirror world there.

Litoto devoured Pitsaur, but she usually appears in her original form, only transforming into the Five Elders during battles.

Because she ate Pit Saint, claiming she wanted to become a fighting force for the World Government, Im really didn't hold back and sent her to fight, especially since this time she was "ordered" to kill Beltz.

Of course, she would never lay a hand on Beltz.

"I'm starting to regret it."

Upon seeing Beltz, Litoto sighed and said, "I shouldn't have listened to you and eaten the Five Elders. As a result, that old ambassador summoned me to fight all sorts of people. He really treats me like a little brother."

Litoto has done a lot for the World Government in the past six months, mainly by capturing pirates.

Although this was the Navy's job, Im secretly sent Litoto to capture some powerful pirates. It's unclear what Im was planning to do.

This time, after learning that Beltz was in the North Sea, he sent Litoto to deal with him.

Litoto was supposed to live a life of luxury as a Celestial Dragon, but now she's become a professional fighter.

"Im is probably trying to create combat power."

After thinking for a moment, Beltz said, "He secretly asked you to capture those pirates, maybe to conduct some kind of experiment, or to make them submit to him."

He had actually heard a little about it; many powerful pirates on the high seas had suddenly disappeared, and many of them were even remnants of Rocks's crew.

For example, Captain John, Silver Axe, Gan Sui, and many other great pirates who were on par with them were all captured by Litoto.

Because this was a plot point not found in the manga, Beltz couldn't immediately tell what Im was up to.

"Replenishing our fighting force is definitely a must." Litoto leaned back on a sofa behind her and said lazily, "By the way, the World Government has even approached Kaido."

"Kaido?" Beltz raised an eyebrow and asked, "How did they get in touch?"

"Originally, I was supposed to capture Kaido and bring him back, but I have to say, that guy is really fast."

Litoto leaned back on the sofa, crossed her legs, and said, "But because he was seriously injured, it seems he was eventually captured by the Navy."

This wasn't surprising to Beltz. Kaido was a hothead, and being captured by the Navy was commonplace for him.

"The World Government has its eye on Kaido's fighting prowess, especially since they know that Kaido has a grudge against you."

Beltz was speechless upon hearing this, and said, "What do you mean by 'hatred'? I only stole two Devil Fruits that didn't belong to him in the first place."

He has a Blue Dragon Fruit and a Gluttony Fruit, but how can that make him a sworn enemy of Kaido?

The two Devil Fruits that Beltz stole didn't belong to Kaido in the first place!

If there's any enmity involved, it's Beltz who has a grudge against the World Government and the Drum Kingdom, not Kaido.

"Aren't you pirates just like that, so self-centered?" Litoto retorted. "Anyway, Kaido is really unhappy with you. What's that saying again? The enemy of my enemy is my friend. The World Government and Kaido are both very unhappy with you, so it's normal that they'll cooperate."

Beltz still found it hard to believe, mainly because he knew that Kaido was extremely unhappy with the World Government.

He left his country as a child because he didn't want to join the navy and became a pirate on the high seas.

In response to Beltz's question, Ritoto calmly explained, "You're right, Kaido indeed doesn't want to be a Marine, but what if the Celestial Dragons offered him a higher position?"

"—Could it be a Celestial Dragon?" Beltz asked in surprise. "The World Government is really desperate, resorting to any means to recruit fighting power."

"It's very possible," Litoto said softly. "And the World Government's condition for Kaido joining is that they will give him a powerful Devil Fruit."

"So that's how it is," Beltz said, suddenly realizing.

Kaido is obsessed with Devil Fruits.

After seeing Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit, he always wanted a powerful Devil Fruit.

So much so that during the Valley of the Gods, she didn't hesitate to ambush her own older sister in order to steal the Azure Dragon Fruit.

But this time, it was Beltz who stole the Azure Dragon Fruit, so Kaido didn't get the Devil Fruit he wanted most.

When he finally found a suitable Devil Fruit, it was stolen by Belz!

The strongest characters in the world of One Piece are all very self-centered and prone to going to extremes!

Kaido's obsession with Devil Fruits only grew stronger after he repeatedly missed out on them!

If the World Government approaches the issue from this angle, and given Kaido's genuine and extreme dislike for him, it's quite possible that they could actually reach a cooperation agreement.

This world is so magical, Kaido has even joined the World Government.

"Then, Captain John and his men will probably suffer the same fate."

"They might be in a worse situation," Beltz said softly. "They might even be brainwashed," Litoto said. "I met a woman named Junko in Mary Geoise. She was brainwashed and became a member of the God's Blade, and of course, she's a member of the God's Knights now."

"Even Kaido, if he serves under the World Government for a long time, I suspect he will be subtly brainwashed. In fact, I can already feel this influence now."

"Even though I didn't leave a mark, just consuming Saint Pitt made me feel like a power was trying to penetrate my mind and change my perception."

Beltz nodded upon hearing this, and looked at Litoto, saying, "I will give you psychological counseling every now and then."

He used his psychiatric abilities to examine Litoto's mind and discovered that there was indeed a force slowly influencing her.

While providing psychological counseling to Litoto, he continued, "If the World Government turned all those great pirates into God Knights, then the Giant King must have already been poisoned before them."

"Harald—" Litoto thought for a moment, then said, "Im's mark is divided into three levels: shallow sea, deep sea, and deep sea. Harald has had the shallow sea mark for almost a year, and I suspect he is very likely to have the deep sea mark soon."

"Once the deep-sea mark is imprinted, Im will confront Harald. I wonder if he'll be able to break free then."

.

"That's not important." Beltz was very confident. He had already obtained the Conqueror's Haki knot left by Joy Boy, and he was more than sure about dealing with Elbaf. He was just waiting for Im to suffer a great defeat.

Litoto still believed in Beltz, after all, he hadn't lost yet.

"However, the World Government made Kaido eat a super Devil Fruit? What kind of Devil Fruit is it?" Beltz asked again. Kaido is not to be underestimated, after all, he is the strongest creature in the future.

Of course, the strongest creature now belongs to Beltz, but Kaido is still a Yonko.

If such a person were also immortal, that would be very troublesome.

"I'm not sure yet." Litoto shrugged and said, "Satan is in charge of negotiating with Kaido; I'm only responsible for capturing people."

Upon hearing this, Beltz thought about the Devil Fruits that appeared in the World Government in the original work.

What could it be?

However, given the World Government's resources, there must be a large number of Devil Fruits that did not appear in the original work.

"Oh, right, here you go."

As if suddenly remembering something, Litoto took out a bag from behind the sofa.

Beltz looked over and said, "They're all Devil Fruits."

"Yes." Litoto nodded, "These are all Devil Fruits collected from all over by the World Government, so consider it my reward."

She tossed the bag to Beltz, who then inspected each bag one by one.

The Devil Fruits given by the World Government are actually quite good.

He even saw the Love-Love Fruit, the Ox-Ox Fruit, which Empress Hancock was supposed to eat, and another one—

"Snow-Snow Fruit?"

Beltz was somewhat surprised, not expecting that the World Government would actually help him find this Devil Fruit.

And what's more, the World Government was so generous as to give Litoto all of these Logia-type Devil Fruits.

However, upon further reflection, the World Government might very well possess the Ice-Ice Fruit, which is superior to the Snow-Snow Fruit, so naturally they felt the Snow-Snow Fruit was useless.

But this thing is the most suitable Devil Fruit for Rukia!

Beltz was overjoyed and said, "This is a huge help!"

"Alright."

Litoto stood up again, waved her hand, and said, "I've basically said everything I needed to say. Contact me again if anything comes up next time."
