From the Wandenreich's escape to One Piece

Chapter 93 Arrival at Beehive Island, Beltz and Wang Zhi

"You have a lot to thank me for."

Beltz wasn't embarrassed at all.

Although he took Rukia away, he also told her many secrets.

"You don't need to worry too much. After a while, I will go to Hueco Mundo. At that time, I will transform into a dragon and tell the Shinigami that I did not eat you but that you escaped. That way, your older brother and captain will not have to worry."

"Can you take me back?"

Rukia asked, "Are you going back to the Soul Society?"

"No, I've never been to Hueco Mundo before, and I'd like to go and see it. Besides, wouldn't it be more convincing to leave a trace of my spiritual pressure in a place?"

"That's true." Beltz nodded. "But how's your training going these days?"

While Belz was learning Haki, Rukia wasn't idle either.

She is also diligently practicing spiritual cultivation.

After all, she can only go back if she learns Bankai.

Rukia said, "Although the power of this world is different from the spirit particle system, there are still some similarities. I've basically gotten the hang of it."

Rukia is also learning Haki and has sparred with the pirates on the ship quite a bit.

"No rush, take your time."

Beltz was relatively confident in Lucia.

Rukia's talent isn't top-tier, but it's at least above average.

Or rather, it's a superior talent.

Unlike him, who would likely spend his entire life as a foot soldier.

When she arrives in the world of One Piece, her talents will be replaced accordingly.

The most talented people in the One Piece world are undoubtedly the main characters.

Those people were all around twenty years old, and each of them was either one of the Four Emperors, the Emperor's Vice-Emperor, or one of the Three Calamities.

Look at the others. Whitebeard, Kaido, and Big Mom were still "young Yonko" when they were in their thirties. Compared to the main characters, they can only be described as maturing too late.

Of course, the main characters are indeed overpowered, that goes without saying.

If we exclude them, then the Four Emperors are among the most talented people in the One Piece world.

Rukia may not be as good as them, but she should be about the same as their second-in-command.

In other words, they reach their peak around the age of thirty or forty.

If Rukia trains in the pirate world for ten or twenty years, she'll be able to unleash her full potential.

If it's just about mastering Bankai, then it doesn't even take that long; maybe ten years at most would be enough.

This is still the most generous timeframe Beltz has given us.

Because this only counts as part of the cultivation process.

But fighting is the best way to make progress.

Next comes a battle.

They're almost at Beehive Island.

After the Rocks Pirates were destroyed, Wang Zhi occupied Beehive Island and turned it into a pirate paradise.

If the Golden Lion wants to kill Wang Zhi, Wang Zhi's subordinates will definitely disagree, and then the two sides will fight.

"So, you want me to get involved too?" Rukia asked. "If you don't want to get involved, then stay in the cabin and protect Vegapunk."

"No, I'd better go out." Rukia shook her head; she didn't want things to stay like this forever.

After learning about Aizen's plot, she also felt a sense of urgency.

She needs to become stronger. Before Aizen causes a huge crisis, she must expose Aizen's conspiracy!

"good."

Beltz praised, "But don't be too reckless. If you're no match for them, just get back on the ship. After all, you can fly, which already gives you an advantage over them."

"it is good."

As Beltz was speaking, the ship suddenly stopped.

Beltz's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "It seems we've arrived."

Beltz led Lucia out of the room and, as expected, found Shiki's men all eager for battle.

"Hehehehe!!"

Shiki roared with laughter, "Men, this time we're going to clean house! We'll wipe out the traitors among the pirates!"

"oh oh!!!"

People in the One Piece world are easily stirred up, and they all shout excitedly.

After all, taking down other pirates also means stealing their valuables.

I've long heard that Beehive Island holds immense wealth, and this trip is the perfect opportunity to put my pirate skills to use!

"Beltz".

Upon seeing Beltz, Shiki said, "I'm entrusting Wang Zhi to you!"

"?"

Beltz paused for a moment, then pointed to himself and said, "Me?"

"What's wrong?" Seeing Beltz's expression, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you scared?"

Beltz shook his head and said, "Isn't this something you should be doing?"

"What is Wang Zhi anyway?" Shi Qi clearly looked down on Wang Zhi. He said, "This is a perfect opportunity to test your training results. Since following the proper methods of training isn't working, then try mastering internal destruction in battle!"

"You bastard—"

Beltz was speechless.

He didn't have control over internal sabotage, but wasn't Shiki being far too impatient?

How many days has it been?

He is indeed not a genius, but even if he were a genius, he couldn't have mastered Armament Haki at the level of internal destruction in such a short time, right?

Do you think you're Wang Luffy?

If it were that easy to master, the world would be full of advanced Armament Haki users by now.

However, he did not refuse.

Fighting a great pirate like Wang Zhi is indeed a way to improve oneself.

Despite Shiki's disdain for Wang Zhi, this guy is still quite strong.

In the future, it will take Blackbeard, who possesses two Devil Fruits, and Koby to join forces to defeat him.

Although Koby's fighting ability is negligible, the fact that Blackbeard said something like "thanks to you" shows that he himself couldn't easily defeat Wang Zhi on his own.

In reality—

Whoever Blackbeard attacks, he'll always end up getting beaten to a pulp at first.

He felt that with his current strength, he should be able to handle Wang Zhi.

One important point is that Wang Zhi is probably still far from his peak.

After all, people in their thirties and forties in the One Piece world are still improving, and even Big Mom, a future Yonko, hasn't reached her peak yet. So why can Wang Zhi compare to Big Mom?

"Fine, then I'll go kill Wang Zhi. What are you going to do?"

"Let's see how you fight," Shiqi said matter-of-factly. "If you're no match for him, then wait until Wang Zhi kills you, and then I'll take care of him."

"Then you probably won't have that chance."

Beltz stretched his body again.

The Azure Dragon Fruit has extremely strong regenerative abilities.

He rested for a while in Vegapunk and Rukia's room and now felt that his strength had been fully restored.

Now, he ignored Shiki and jumped off his flying ship!

"Huh?!"

The other pirates were shocked: "First Mate Beltz—he jumped in?!"

"This is thousands of meters in the sky!"

"First Mate Beltz!"

Roar!

But amidst their shocked shouts, Beltz simply transformed into a giant dragon!

The enormous azure dragon disappeared into the clouds, then emerged again, revealing its majestic dragon form in the air!

"dragon----!!"

People were once again shocked when they saw the enormous dragon's body!

This was the first time they had ever seen Beltz use his Devil Fruit ability!

Shiki looked at the azure dragon and clicked his tongue, "This kid's really lucky."

The Azure Dragon Fruit—this is the strongest Devil Fruit that the Celestial Dragons have meticulously prepared for themselves.

Even within the Rocks Pirates, there are quite a few people who hope to obtain this Devil Fruit.

But neither Linlin nor Kaido got their hands on her; instead, this kid devoured her.

To say that there are no useless Devil Fruits, only useless people, is clearly nonsense.

If two people of equal strength, one eats the Magma-Magma Fruit and the other eats the Flame-Flame Fruit, then the person who ate the Magma-Magma Fruit is stronger!

One ate the Fish-Fish Fruit - Azure Dragon form, and the other ate the Dog-Dog Fruit - Dachshund form. Would anyone say that the latter is stronger?

Whether it's a Devil Fruit or the development of one's own abilities, there are limits.

Those kinds of outrageous and baseless claims are just plain rude and disrespectful.

The power of the Azure Dragon Fruit is beyond doubt. After transforming into a giant dragon, Beltz flew directly downwards, and the Beehive Island grew larger and larger in his sight!

boom!

After being several hundred meters away, he directly exhaled a dragon's breath from his mouth!

With a deafening roar, a massive explosion occurred directly on Beehive Island!

The island of Beehive is inhabited mostly by vicious pirates, so Beltz didn't hold back at all and immediately unleashed his maximum-level dragon breath.

The massive explosion destroyed numerous buildings on Beehive Island, and a large number of pirates were swept away by the blast, suffering agonizing pain as they were devoured by the dragon's breath!

"Who goes there?!"

Wang Zhi shouted angrily, "How dare you come to Hachinos to cause trouble!"

Wang Zhi was an eccentric; the first thing people would notice about him was his neck.

Double chins are quite common, but the way he has layers upon layers of curls around his neck is practically cosplay.

The neighbor's Red King's is really not very common.

However, Beltz already knew that Wang Zhi looked like this, so he wasn't surprised.

"Azure Dragon?"

After Wang Zhi finished speaking, he also saw Beltz in the sky. His face darkened, then he became excited and said, "The guy wanted by the World Government, I heard it was you who took all the treasure of God Valley!"

Wang Zhi is a money-grubbing guy. He helped the World Government capture Shakky for money, and now that he sees Beltz, his eyes are practically filled with money!

This guy is a wealthy wanted criminal!

The Celestial Dragons in God Valley possess so much treasure, roughly estimated to be worth hundreds of billions!

If we kill this guy, all the money will be his!

"All of you, charge! Take him down!"

Wang Zhi couldn't immediately ascertain Beltz's true strength, so he sent his men to make the first move.

But soon a large number of pirates jumped down from the sky, each carrying a knife or a gun, and all of them had bloodthirsty expressions.

Upon seeing this, Wang Zhi's heart skipped a beat.

He looked up, his face changing drastically: "Shiki, it's you!"
