The Wandenreich is actually quite large, but no matter how big it is, it's just the shadow of the Seireitei.
The Seireitei is indeed a massive area; just one direction spans dozens of districts. A single Seireitei is even larger than the entire Tokyo metropolitan area!
But no matter how large it is, it's still just a supercity.
How can it compare to a vast planet?
"There's even a super government that rules the entire world," Liltotto said, thinking about Beltz' words.
"That's so exaggerated."
"It's not really an exaggeration. They say they rule the world, but in reality, it's just an alliance of over half the nations."
Beltz said, "It's not much different from the Shinigami."
Although the Shinigami only occupy a small amount of territory, they are actually considered a super-organization within the Three Worlds.
The Quincy have perished on the surface, and most Hollows stay in Hueco Mundo, so aren't the Three Worlds supervised by the Shinigami?
Moreover, both sides have extremely unreasonable nobles.
"So, what's your goal?" Liltotto asked. "Are you going to become an official in the World Government?"
"How could that be possible?"
Beltz said directly, "The World Government is quite a corrupt institution. Do you want to become the same kind of pig-headed trash as the Celestial Dragons?"
He had already told Liltotto about the Celestial Dragons before.
"If I can eat and drink as much as I want, I don't really have any objections," Liltotto replied.
Obviously, Liltotto only remembered the part about the Celestial Dragons being able to eat, drink, and have fun to their heart's content.
Or rather, just eating and drinking to her heart's content.
The Celestial Dragons have a supreme status; Affiliated Nations from all over the world must pay them the Heavenly Tribute, not to mention all the delicacies from land and sea.
If one becomes a Celestial Dragon, they can eat well for a lifetime!
As for the sins of the Celestial Dragons, the Sternritter clearly didn't care.
The Sternritter are a group of extremely self-centered people who don't even care much about the lives of their own comrades, so how could they care about the daily sins of the Celestial Dragons?
To Liltotto, if you have privileges, you must use them; otherwise, what's the point of having them?
Beltz didn't want to correct these views; such things couldn't be forced.
After all, for superhumans, a casual flick of their fingers could trigger a storm that would be an extinction-level disaster for ordinary people; it was indeed difficult to empathize with them.
"It is true that one can eat, drink, and have fun as much as they want, but as I said just now, I saw that dark shadow in God Valley. I suspect that guy is the same as Yhwach."
Beltz added, "That shadow seems to be able to grant others Immortality and also take it back. I suspect he is another Yhwach."
"...What? Where are all these Yhwachs coming from?" Liltotto couldn't help but say.
"Could that guy really be His Majesty?"
"That's impossible!"
One is the boss of Bleach, and the other is the boss of One Piece; how could they be the same person!
"My thought is, if we can't deal with Yhwach and end up settling in this world in the future, then we have to carve out a career for ourselves."
"That sounds like a lot of trouble..."
"There's no way around it, because the Celestial Dragons will always come looking for trouble. To get these Devil Fruits, I killed a Celestial Dragon. They won't let me go."
"Killing a Celestial Dragon is an unforgivable capital crime in this world!"
Liltotto thought for a moment and said, "Can't we just find a place to hide?"
Liltotto's ambition wasn't that great; she just wanted to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.
"That won't work either because, strictly speaking, there is no safe place in this world. The Celestial Dragons, the Marines, the pirates, and the royalty and nobility of the countries—they are all people who could potentially ruin your life."
Beltz said, "Moreover, that gentleman told me that a super war will break out in this world's future, the kind that will sweep across the entire globe."
"So I think, rather than being forced into that war, it's better to take the initiative."
"There are still thirty years until Yhwach fully awakens, and as for him fully regaining his power, it will be thirty-eight years..."
At this point, Beltz paused again.
He realized that the time point he had transmigrated into was quite interesting.
In One Piece, in another thirty-six years, Luffy will set out to sea, which is when the plot begins.
And in Bleach, also in thirty-six years, Kurosaki ichigo will obtain Shinigami powers, the time when Bleach's plot begins.
Thirty-eight years later, in One Piece, it will be the plot from two years later, and in Bleach, it will be the start of the Thousand-Year Blood War.
If nothing unexpected happens, One Piece will also see the showdown between Luffy and Imu in thirty-eight years; the timelines should coincide in that year.
Could the super wars of both worlds be unfolding simultaneously?
"A super war..."
Liltotto didn't notice Beltz' pause and said with some emotion:
"War is truly unavoidable no matter where you go."
"But who exactly is He? He seems to know everything... and why did He choose you?"
"I don't know, but I should see Him again. I wonder if I can bring you along."
"I'm so curious... someone who can travel across worlds and even see through the future must be an incredible person."
Liltotto fell into deep thought.
Why did that mysterious person choose Beltz?
Is there something special about Beltz?
By now, Beltz had already crossed the Red Line.
After reaching the South Blue, he was no longer in a hurry because he had to stop and look at the nautical charts before continuing.
There was no rush; he would return to the world of Bleach first.
Anyway, now that he had laid his cards on the table with Liltotto, it would be very easy to come to One Piece again in the future.
However, he had one more question before going back.
"Are you going to tell others about what happened here?"
Beltz found another small island; although it wasn't uninhabited, the population was sparse. As long as they found a place to hide, no one would notice them.
After all, it was currently night.
After landing, Beltz asked Liltotto that question.
"No."
Liltotto landed back on the ground and, hearing Beltz' question, replied calmly, "This is your ability, after all. Don't worry, without your permission, I won't tell anyone else."
One reason was that this was too incredible; second, it involved the future; and third, it concerned loyalty to the Empire.
Her loyalty to the Wandenreich was average, but that didn't mean others felt the same.
Especially... could they overcome their fear of Yhwach?
She was someone who dared to confront Yhwach without a second thought, but others might not necessarily have that courage.
