From the Wandenreich's escape to One Piece

"It's not that I want to betray the Empire, but that Yhwach wants to betray the Empire."

Beltz calmly stated, "The Reich is the Quincy's Reich, not Yhwach's Reich alone."

"Yohbach wants to kill us, so am I supposed to obediently offer up my life?"

Although...

That's really how education works in the empire.

For the Empire, for Emperor Yhwach, they would give their lives.

But this kind of education is only taught to the poor and working-class.

Once you reach the rank of Sternritter, who doesn't have their own little schemes?

The stronger the power, the more reactionary it becomes.

Of course, there are also Sternritter who are loyal to Yhwach.

But this absolutely does not include Litoto.

"No wonder you agreed to be my deputy; you were planning to turn me against you from the very beginning, weren't you?"

Litoto had already processed the previous information, and then looked at Beltz with amusement, saying:

"Aren't you afraid I'll eat you up in one bite?"

"I originally planned to come to you after I became stronger," Beltz said somewhat awkwardly.

"I just didn't expect Lady Litoto's nose to be so sensitive that she could smell the Devil Fruit scent on me right away."

"Devil Fruit?"

"Yes, Devil Fruits are one of the power systems in this world, somewhat similar to sacred symbols. After eating one, you can gain amazing abilities."

Beltz explained, "After I transmigrated here, I ate a Zoan-type Mythical Zoan, the Azure Dragon Fruit, by chance. Now I can transform into an Azure Dragon."

"Azure Dragon?" Litoto was taken aback. "Can you transform into it now?"

Beltz nodded, and the next moment he entered beast form.

A gigantic azure dragon coiled in the sky, leaving Litoto utterly astonished!

Then, she said excitedly, "I've never eaten green dragon meat before! Let me try some!"

"..." Beltz quickly transformed back into human form and landed in front of Litoto again, saying hastily, "There are many delicious foods in this world, there's no need to be fixated on me."

"Did you learn to cook in this world?"

"I actually already knew a little bit, but there's nothing wrong with saying that, right? There are many excellent chefs in this world."

Litoto gradually calmed down after hearing this. After recalling what Beltz had said, she suddenly asked:

"Do you still have that Devil Fruit?"

"have."

Are all Devil Fruit abilities different?

"Yes, and the abilities are fixed, which is different from the Holy Script."

The sacred script awakens different abilities based on each person's own soul characteristics.

Devil Fruits grant a fixed ability, so it doesn't matter who eats it.

"What abilities do the Devil Fruits you possess have?"

Litoto was a little curious

She wasn't actually that interested in the abilities, but she was very curious about the taste.

In her opinion, food containing sacred texts must be delicious.

Beltz almost laughed; he was curious to see what it would feel like for Litoto to swallow the Devil Fruit whole.

He then said, "I have seven Devil Fruits left, but a person can usually only eat one Devil Fruit at most."

"Therefore, we must be more careful in choosing our abilities."

"Can I have one?" Litoto was really craving it; she really wanted to try the fruit from this other world.

"It's possible, but Devil Fruits are extremely rare..."

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm your superior officer."

"This isn't the Empire anymore. Talking about superiors like that is too hurtful," Beltz chuckled, then added:

"Just kidding, of course Lady Litoto can have it if she wants."

"But I wonder what kind of ability Lady Litoto desires?"

Upon hearing this, Litoto also fell into deep thought.

Although she mainly wanted to taste it, it seems that she really can't be careless when it comes to ability.

In fact, her own Holy Word ability is quite strong. On the surface, she just eats, but in reality, she can use the other party's ability while digesting what she eats.

For example, if she eats Yamamoto Genryusai, then she can use Ryujin Jakka.

However, it should only be used during digestion.

If she completely digests the person in her stomach, then she will be unable to use their abilities.

In skirmishes, this ability isn't very useful, but in preparatory battles, she can find an opportunity to absorb an ability that counters the opponent, and then use the digestion period to fight the opponent.

In theory, there are generally three options if you want a second ability.

The first direction is to strengthen her existing abilities, such as gaining another devouring ability, which would make her gluttonous spirit even stronger.

The second direction is to find a skill that can make up for one's own shortcomings.

However, if we're talking about drawbacks...

What are her shortcomings?

In terms of combat ability, she is one of the most formidable among the Sternritter. At least among the female members, without using her abilities, whether using her blood armor or fighting bare-handed, she is far more powerful than the others.

Therefore, she is not lacking in basic combat abilities.

As for the third direction, that is for the sake of the team!

A support role in a team is often indispensable!

"Ugh... I'm not sure either!" Litoto wailed. "What ability do you have? Can't you choose for me?"

"Well..."

Beltz said, "I have two abilities that are more suitable for you."

"two?"

"Yes, one is the Wind-Wind Fruit, a Logia-type Devil Fruit. Eating it will grant you the ability to control the wind."

Beltz said, "Logia-type Devil Fruits are stronger in this world because after eating a Logia-type Devil Fruit, the body becomes that kind of natural phenomenon, and without Haki, they can't even hurt you."

"But that doesn't work in our world, because almost everyone in our world has spiritual power."

"But this ability can make up for your lack of ranged output."

"Area of ​​effect output...?" Litoto shook her head upon hearing this.

What does she want to do with the range output?

Large-scale AoE output is often just for show.

The larger the area hit, the more dispersed the damage. It's great for clearing mobs, but what use is it in one-on-one combat?

The truly deadly battles are not against the grunts, but against powerful enemies in a 1v1 duel.

So she shook her head.

"What is the second ability?"

"The Mirror-Mirror Fruit," Belz immediately said.

"This ability, once consumed, will turn you into a mirror person!"

That's right, among the nine Devil Fruits of God Valley is the Mirror-Mirror Fruit that Brulee ate in the future Big Mom Pirates!

It must have been the older woman who took it back.

Big Mom tried to steal the Paw-Paw Fruit but it was eaten by Kuma. She tried to steal the Azure Dragon Fruit but it was stolen by Kaido in a sneak attack. However, she probably found three more Devil Fruits afterward.

Those are the Mirror-Mirror Fruit, the Book-Book Fruit, and the Memory-Memory Fruit!
