From the Wandenreich's escape to One Piece

Chapter 88 Vegapunk Joins

"This is absolutely a brilliant idea."

Vegapunk's breathing was hot, his eyes gleaming as he looked at Beltz with a hint of wariness, and said, "If you're capable of conducting such impressive research on your side, why do you insist on my help?"

"Because not only do you have to help me, but I also have to help you," Beltz said softly. "?" Vegapunk was taken aback, somewhat puzzled: "Help me?"

"Yes, haven't you ever thought for a single day that the world shouldn't be like this, and that your abilities and wisdom could be further developed?"

Beltz stood up and met Vegapunk's gaze; his voice pierced directly into the depths of Vegapunk's soul.

"Come with me, and I'll show you a completely different landscape, taking you to a whole new realm."

"A completely new realm?"

"Yes, the world's number one scientist, only guarding this small piece of land, doesn't he feel—"

"Isn't that pitiful?"

Vega's pupils dilated, and a few drops of cold sweat even trickled down his forehead.

No one has ever said he was pitiful.

This guy—

Who exactly is this person?

However, it cannot be denied that an impulse did well up inside him.

Follow him!

If you follow him, you might see many things that you could never have imagined before.

"I----"

Before Vegapunk even realized it, those three words had already been uttered.

"I'll go with you."

"I wish us a pleasant collaboration, Dr. Vegapunk," Beltz smiled. "Well then, let's go."

"etc!"

Vegapunk quickly said, "Are you just going to leave like this? There are quite a few Du Feld men outside. I don't know how you got in, but Du Feld won't let me leave so easily."

"Don't worry, Doctor, ants can't see dragons." Beltz opened the door and walked out openly.

Du Feld's guards stood outside the door, but seemed to ignore him.

The power of a Devil Fruit?

Vegapunk was astonished by the bizarre scene.

What kind of Devil Fruit is this?

Vegapunk had seen the Devil Fruit encyclopedia, but he couldn't immediately guess what kind of Devil Fruit Belts was using.

Beltz stood in the bustling corridor, completely oblivious to the others, waiting for him at the door.

"Wait, wait for me!"

Vegapunk hurriedly packed up the things he wanted to take with him.

Okay, let's go with him!

Although he had considered the world government before, he hadn't made up his mind to be honest.

After all, they know exactly what kind of people the World Government is.

Therefore, it's not appropriate for the World Government to get involved in the comparison, but Du Feld and Beltz, he felt that following Beltz would be the right choice.

At the very least, Beltz is now richer than Dufeld!

Vegapunk didn't take much with him; he simply packed the ideas he had conceived during the past few days of the meeting into a bag, and then quickly followed Beltz out.

The guards who were supposed to protect and watch over him completely ignored him at this moment, and he and Beltz walked out of the building openly and honestly, like transparent people!

"What kind of Devil Fruit ability is this? I remember you were said to be able to transform into a dragon, right? You ate the Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Azure Dragon form, right?"

Vegapunk was puzzled, so he asked directly, "This isn't a Devil Fruit ability, but rather 'Holy Symbols.' You'll understand later."

After Beltz led Vegapunk out, he took him to the hotel where he and Rukia had been. He opened the door but did not see Rukia.

"Are you still going to stay here?" Vegapunk asked, seeing that Beltz had gone to the hotel. "Once Du Feld discovers I'm missing, he'll definitely launch a large-scale search."

"Well, I have one more thing to do. After that, I will take you to Wano Country."

"Wano Country?" Vegapunk asked again, puzzled. "What are you going to the Land of Samurai for?"

"Because the legendary ancient weapons are there."

"Ancient weapons?!" Vegapunk's eyes widened again. In the short time he had been in contact with Beltz, he was already beyond astonished.

What nonsense is this guy spouting?

But judging from Beltz's confident demeanor, he didn't seem to be lying.

Wait, the Belts that Dr. Clover introduced... could it be...?

Is this guy also researching the blank century?

His heart was pounding.

Researching the blank century is a grave crime, and this guy is really bold and fearless.

However, precisely because of this, following this guy might actually allow me to see scenery that is different from what I've seen before.

"By the way, you'd better make a list of what you need during this time, and try to buy it on your way to Wano Country."

Beltz had some money on him.

He carved out a space in his own shadow and then stuffed the treasure chests inside.

However, the difficulty of creating space in architecture and in the shadow of a human body is completely different.

He only started doing this after he obtained the Holy Script and became a member of the Sternritter.

The space in his shadow is only about the size of a storage box. It's fine for hiding things, but it's a bit difficult to fit a person in.

That's why he didn't hide Vegapunk in his shadow, but only packed some gold and silver treasures inside.

He probably has 20 billion Berries in his shadow, which should be enough for Vegapunk's initial startup capital.

He told Vegapunk to stay at the hotel while he went to find Rukia and Shiki.

After all, they were going to leave after finding the Golden Lion, and they needed to talk to Rukia first.

Rukia was strolling through the streets, admiring the scenery so different from Soul Society, and she lingered there, reluctant to leave.

"If we have time, I'll take you to even more interesting places."

Seeing Lucia's state, Beltz went over and said something.

Rukia was startled and jumped up. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she turned around and saw that it was Belz.

"Are you a cat? How come you walk without making a sound?"

Rukia patted her chest and asked, "Are you done with your business?"

"There's one more thing to do. Once this is over, we'll leave immediately."

Beltz said in a deep voice, "Come on, just looking at this bright scene isn't enough. I'll take you to see the darkness of this world."

"dark?"

Rukia followed Beltz in the opposite direction.

Beltz had sensed the aura of the Golden Lion before.

In terms of sensing auras, the world of One Piece is no match for the world of Bleach.

While Observation Haki also exists in the world of Bleach, it is mainly used in combat.

In the world of Bleach, spiritual pressure perception is an ability specifically used to locate a person's position.

Quincy, in particular, who are skilled in manipulating spiritual particles, have an even stronger sense of spiritual pressure.

The golden lion's aura was so powerful and so obvious that Beltz could sense it even from a great distance.

The nickname "Golden Lion" hasn't really taken off yet; people mostly refer to him as "the underworld" these days.

Shiki the Mafia—with this title, he must naturally have a close relationship with the underworld.

In this lawless zone, many industries are related to the underworld, so it's not surprising that Shiki would appear in the lawless zone of Sabaody Archipelago.

And so Belz led Rukia into this area.

"Who are we going to find?"

Seeing that the scenery in this area was completely different from the previous bubble park, Rukia said, "This place gives me a feeling of—"

"A very uncomfortable smell."

"It's okay if you're not feeling well. Look ahead."

"?"

"

Rukia looked ahead. At first, it was a normal street, but she soon saw the crowd in front of her hurriedly disperse, line up on both sides, and then kneel down!

"What are they doing?"

"A World Noble has arrived," Beltz said. "A World Noble?" Lucia frowned, but quickly understood.

There are nobles in Soul Society, and she is even the adopted son of the Kuchiki family, one of the five noble families that stand at the pinnacle of all noble families.

The five noble families hold an extraordinary position in Soul Society; ordinary Shinigami don't even have the right to come into contact with them.

To have normal contact with the five noble families, one must at least be a vice-captain.

It seems that the nobles of this world are even more arrogant and domineering, even demanding that others kneel before them.

What surprised her even more was what followed. A man slowly appeared in front of her, covered in wounds, yet still struggling to crawl on the ground.

And above him, there was another person!

This person had something on his head that looked like a fish tank, and he was extremely ugly. He was riding a horse, and even had the man beneath him tied with a rein!

He actually used humans as mounts?!

There were also many men in black around him, like his guards!

Rukia was shocked: "What—what is he doing?!"

"That's the Celestial Dragon and his slave."

Beltz said softly, "The world's nobles wield immense power; let's avoid them for now."

Beltz pulled Lucia to a side alley and leaned against the shadows, saying, "The man beneath him is his slave. Although the slave trade is nominally prohibited, as world nobles, they can be above all laws. They can buy slaves and even kill people without bearing any responsibility."

"This—this is too much!" Rukia couldn't accept it. Although the nobles in the world of Bleach were already rampant, compared to the Celestial Dragon in front of her, they were simply docile lambs!

How could there be such unreasonable world nobles in this world?!

There were even slaves!

Murder isn't illegal?!
