Someone like Bambi is usually quite ruthless to those around her, and holds the power of life and death over her subordinates, but would she ever dare to talk back to Yhwach?
Bambi is terrified of death. If she found out about One Piece, she might even report them to Yhwach.
Among the others, Candice also has a high level of loyalty to Yhwach, while Meninas and Giselle are slightly better in that regard.
"If I had to say, Giselle is my next target to win over."
"Gigi?" Liltotto was somewhat puzzled. "Why? Her personality is actually quite nasty."
"She probably wants to become a real woman, right?" Beltz smiled and said, "I've heard that this world actually has many kinds of abilities that can allow a person to truly change their gender."
"And in the future, after you save Gigi, it's the two of you who go up together to face Yhwach."
"Regardless, since she's capable of making a move against Yhwach, I believe he'll stand on our side."
"I see. With that condition, Gigi is indeed very likely to join us." Liltotto realized, then asked about another important person's name.
"What about Gremmy? How is he?"
"This..."
Beltz scratched his head and said, "Gremmy is very powerful, and he likewise has no loyalty to speak of toward Yhwach."
"But, don't you think he's too powerful?"
"...I don't think so."
"Uh... anyway, his strength is too great, and he was personally ordered to be sealed by Yhwach. Unlike us, if he disappears, it'll be discovered very quickly."
"Among the others, including Robert, they are all people we can try to recruit in the future, but definitely not right now."
"Fine, I trust your judgment. After all, you're the one who has seen the future."
Liltotto stretched and let out another yawn. "Alright, let's head back first. I'm a bit tired."
"...Okay."
Beltz discovered that bringing Liltotto to One Piece placed more of a burden on him.
Originally, he should have had a long time left to stay, but with Liltotto added, he now felt a slight repelling effect.
He took Liltotto's hand again, and in the next moment, the two returned to the Wandenreich.
"I can't feel any fluctuations at all."
Crossing through once more, Liltotto kept her eyes closed, seemingly trying to sense the process of the crossing.
But obviously, she couldn't sense anything.
One second she was on a sea island, and the next second she was directly back in her room.
"This ability to cross over even exceeds this world itself. Let's not think too much about it for now."
"True." Liltotto yawned and then walked upstairs. "I'm going to sleep for a bit. See you tonight."
"Good afternoon," Beltz said.
It was night in One Piece, but only afternoon in the world of Bleach. Although it was a bit late, there was no problem with taking a nap.
Liltotto went to take a nap, so what about him?
Eh, he really was a bit hungry.
He should go make something to eat too.
Successfully winning over Liltotto this time was definitely a great joy for him.
Liltotto's combat power was impressive, and she could also play a significant supporting role.
After eating the Mirror-Mirror Fruit, it would be much easier for him to enter and exit One Piece in the future.
And since he had already reached the South Blue, the next step was to head to the Sorbet Kingdom.
Over the next week, Beltz spent his time shuttling between the world of Bleach and One Piece.
Liltotto would occasionally go over as well, but because most of the time was spent traveling, she quickly lost interest.
She told Beltz that she would go over once he reached his destination.
It was also more convenient with just Beltz alone; at least he didn't have to bear the extra burden of Liltotto's crossing.
So, on this day, he finally reached the Sorbet Kingdom according to the sea chart given by Dr. Clover.
He had some impression of where Kuma's home was located, in the southern region of the Sorbet Kingdom.
He didn't land on the island in dragon form, but instead entered the Sorbet Kingdom in human form.
Landing from the south, one could see a vast forest. After passing through this forest and continuing north, he soon discovered a large church.
The sizes of countries in One Piece varied greatly. There were large nations like Alabasta, where a single canal was fifty kilometers wide.
But there were also countries where an entire nation consisted of just a few villages and a few towns.
The Sorbet Kingdom was a small country, with the entire nation comprising only one city, a few towns, a few villages, and two forests.
Having confirmed the general area and identifying the landmark of a church, finding Kuma and the others was quite fast.
Arriving outside the church, Beltz knocked on the main door.
"Coming, who is it?"
A woman's voice came from inside, and the door was slowly opened. It was exactly thirteen-year-old Ginny.
Compared to before at God Valley, Ginny's health had improved significantly after a week of recovery.
When she saw Beltz, a look of shock appeared on her face.
"Lord Beltz?!"
"Kuma! Come quickly! Lord Beltz is here!"
"Mister Beltz?"
Kuma's voice also came from deep within the church. He walked over quickly and was also full of excitement upon seeing Beltz.
"Alright, don't call me uncle. I'm only..."
Beltz originally wanted to say he was only in his twenties, but then he remembered this body had lived for over a hundred years. Let alone an uncle, he was old enough to be a grandfather!
"Forget it, call me Big Brother Beltz, or just Big Brother. In short, don't call me uncle anymore."
Regardless of the actual age of the body, at least he looked only seventeen or eighteen years old.
After speaking, he took another look and asked, "Where is Ivankov?"
"Big Brother has gone to sea," Ginny replied. "Just after we got back, he set sail, saying he was going to sing the praises of freedom!"
"That was really fast..." He knew Ivankov had gone to sea, but it was hard to say exactly when. He hadn't expected it to be right after leaving God Valley.
"Let's go inside first," Kuma said gently. "Beltz, do you know what happened at God Valley afterward?"
"...Is everyone doing okay?"
"They're all fine. It looks like they intend to settle there. As long as they aren't too unlucky and don't proactively say they are survivors of God Valley, the World Government won't notice them."
"As for the aftermath of God Valley..."
Beltz shook his head. "Merely knowing some things could have a huge impact on your future lives."
"Wait until you become stronger in the future, then go chase the truth yourselves."
Human translation: I don't know either!
