From the Wandenreich's escape to One Piece

"Lord Beltz, how did you get here?" the bear asked again.

"We flew all the way here." Beltz looked around the enormous church.

In fact, there are many church-like buildings in the Invisible Empire, but this church is truly worthy of being built by the Bakania people, with its main feature being the word "big".

"Didn't you encounter any navy personnel on the way? Sir, you're wanted now."

"Oh?" Beltz was taken aback; he really hadn't expected that he would be wanted by the police.

After all, most of the people who had seen him were already dead. How could someone else draw a portrait of him after only seeing him once?

However, he understood after Da Xiong took out the wanted poster.

The wanted poster didn't show Beltz's image, but rather a blue dragon.

He has a bounty of 360 million Berries on his head.

The reason why the first bounty was so high is mainly because he killed a Celestial Dragon and stole a large amount of treasure from the World Government.

"That's really stingy."

Beltz didn't take it to heart when he saw it, saying, "The treasure I got from them is a hundred times more than this reward."

Each of those treasure chests in God Valley is worth a billion!

He collected a huge number of treasure chests, which are still in the shadow of that treasure-filled land!

He wasn't afraid of anyone chasing him; if there was danger, he could simply return to the world of death. There was nothing to worry about.

"Oh, right."

Beltz glanced around again: "Shanks and Shamrock are both here, right?"

"Yes, they're both sleeping." Ginny nodded. "Would you like to go check on them, sir?"

"Since they're sleeping, I won't disturb them. It's tough on you two; you're both still children yourself, yet you have to take care of two babies."

"It's nothing, it feels more like home here, doesn't it?" Ginny chuckled.

"Alright then, I'll be going now. I'll come see you guys in a while."

After spending some time in the bear's church, Beltz prepared to head back.

Upon hearing that Beltz was leaving, Ginny asked, somewhat puzzled, "Eh, is Lord Beltz leaving again?"

"Yes, but it's just a temporary departure. I'll probably be staying in the Kingdom of Sorbe for a while."

"Oh..." Ginny nodded, seemingly understanding, "So we're going out to sea?"

"That's about right. Well then... goodbye. Next time you come, take another look at those two children."

Beltz said goodbye to Ginny and Big Bear, and disappeared after leaving the church.

"It's truly an amazing ability, disappearing so suddenly," Ginny remarked. "It's like Xiongxiong activated his power."

"Much more powerful than mine," said the bear. "Disappearing without any warning, Lord Beltz must be a messenger from heaven."

"Yes, at least... he has saved us, he has saved so many people, hasn't he?" Ginny added.

"You're back?"

In the Invisible Empire, Beltz saw Litoto lying on his bed as soon as he returned.

"Lady Litoto, what brings you here?" Beltz breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was Litoto.

"Can't I come?"

Litoto jumped out of bed and said, "Didn't you say we'd get to the Kingdom of Sorbe today?"

"Yes, we've arrived. I chatted with my friend for a while and then came back," Beltz said. "Flying for so long is really tiring. If Lady Litoto wants to go in, let's wait for another time."

"Alright, I didn't come here to go over there."

Litoto said calmly, "I want to discuss something with you."

"What?"

"Didn't you want to become a Sternritter? As things stand, the chances are slim."

Beltz nodded; he wanted to harness some of Yhwach's power, since he wasn't afraid of being a saint later.

However, the Astronomical Cross is now saturated and fully occupied.

"I can help you take them down," Litoto said directly. "With the power of the Mirror-Mirror Fruit, taking them down will be a piece of cake."

Using a mirror, they would enter someone's room while they were asleep and then devour them whole.

This tactic is so advanced that no one can possibly react to it.

With Litoto's strength, most Sternritter couldn't react to her sneak attack.

But to say he'd kill his own comrade so simply, this guy is really ruthless.

Of course, there was no real camaraderie among the Sternritter, and they were constantly scheming against each other.

"Won't this arouse suspicion?" Beltz wondered. "What if they find out?"

"Then just don't get caught, right?" Litoto didn't seem afraid at all.

In their view, death means you are not strong enough, so who is there to blame?

The Sternritter forbids internal strife, but as long as it's not discovered, isn't that enough?

Ultimately, the phrase "prohibit internal strife" has become so ridiculous that it makes people want to laugh.

"That makes a lot of sense."

Beltz was eventually persuaded by Litoto.

Is this what they mean by not doing something wrong if you don't get caught?

However, after thinking it over, he still felt that doing so was a bit risky.

"I have a better idea."

After Litoto said that, Beltz also had an idea.

"What?"

"I need Gigi's abilities."

"Gigi...?" Litoto thought about Giselle's abilities.

Giselle Juair, he is the "Z" of the Sternritter, meaning zombie.

His ability is simple: he can use his own blood to control other people, and even the dead!

The dead are resurrected and fight for him!

Litoto was also a smart person. After Beltz said that, she immediately realized Beltz's purpose.

"You want Gigi to control some powerful figure from another world? And then cause chaos in the Empire?"

"Yes, that way it's completely none of our business," Beltz laughed. "Nobody will be able to find anything out."

Find the corpse of a powerful figure in the One Piece world, then have Gigi control it so that the powerful figure can wreak havoc in the Wandenreich and kill several Sternritter.

Once the Star Cross is vacated, he will have the opportunity to rise to power.

only……

He also needs to think about who he should use.

like……

It has to be Wano Country.

In Wano Country, there is the corpse of a legendary swordsman, Shimotsuki Ryuma.

Later, the corpse, along with the black sword Shusui, was stolen by Moria and taken to Thriller Bark.

Ryoma certainly possesses strength, after all, he was a legendary swordsman who could forge a black sword.

But it's unknown whether Giselle can 'resurrect' and control this corpse, which has been dead for almost four hundred years, and how strong its combat capabilities will remain.

Ah, he left too early back in God Valley.

If we could stay a little longer, we might not only be able to witness Im's battle with those top-tier powerhouses, but also take Rocks's corpse with us.

If they could sneak away with Rocks's body, and then let Gigi control it, it would be amazing.
