Aizen and Hades
Chapter 198 Aizen and Hades
If a fighter like Garp insists on clinging to his so-called justice and staying in the Navy, then Beltz will kill them before they are controlled by the Abyss Mark!
The murderous intent in his eyes was undisguised!
He can do it!
At this point, his strength is beyond what the regular top-tier fighters in the One Piece world can compare to.
Ryu saw Beltz's determination and knew he was truly capable of doing it, so he said, "I will do my best."
"You are his son, and as a father, he will consider your opinion to some extent. In addition, there is their former boss, so the probability is still quite high."
Beltz added, "Go ahead. I'm preparing to launch an attack on the World Government in a week, and I hope you can persuade those two before then."
"————" This time, the dragon didn't speak again. His body suddenly disappeared, and he used Shave to leave the place.
He needed to hurry to Naval Headquarters.
After the dragon left, only the bear and Ginny remained.
The two looked at Beltz with some worry and asked, "Brother, has the situation really gotten that serious?"
"Yes," Beltz sighed softly. "Although I am confident of victory, I cannot underestimate my opponent. At least in the last two moves by Yhwach, his chances of winning have increased considerably."
Previously, his win rate was at least 90%.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to the Spirit King's proposal.
But now, Yhwach has first created a Hollow King Fruit, and then sanctified thousands of Shinigami from the Soul Society. These two actions have at least increased his chances of winning by 20%.
Now----
It's probably 70/30.
Yes, even now, Beltz still has enough confidence that he has a 70% chance of winning.
Because Yhwach is getting stronger, he is also getting stronger.
"Work hard to improve yourself; it shouldn't be too long."
Beltz said softly again, "I—I'm only one step away from taking it too."
After entrusting Garp and Sengoku's affairs to Dragon and Sky, Beltz returned to Wano Country.
Besides the Nidhogg Fruit, there was another matter he needed to deal with.
That was the first Pluto warship to be excavated.
He initially teamed up with Shiki to excavate it, but after excavating it, they discovered that the thing lacked energy.
Without energy, this massive ancient weapon cannot be powered.
The power of this ancient weapon is still immense; even for Beltz now, the Hades battleship is a significant asset.
While it might not be very effective against Yhwach, it's still quite powerful against other opponents.
"How majestic!"
Looking at the enormous Hades warship, Beltz exclaimed with genuine emotion.
Vegapunk stood beside him, saying with considerable pride, "That's right, this is the ancient weapon that nearly destroyed the world eight hundred years ago."
Although he didn't create it, he spent many years painstakingly repairing it.
It's not much different from building a Hades warship yourself!
Therefore, he knew better than anyone the destructive power of the Hades warship.
"However, I must warn you, Beltz," Vegapunk said in a deep voice, "the power of the Hades battleship is simply too great."
"A single shot can destroy an island completely. If such weapons are misused, they could even permanently alter the local ecosystem."
"The great war eight hundred years ago was almost destroyed because of the misuse of ancient weapons like these."
"I know," Beltz nodded, then said, "but there always have to be some sacrifices."
He sighed: "Compared to the disaster of war, Yhwach's existence is the most terrifying thing."
"As long as he exists, he will be a huge threat to the world."
"I can only say—I hope you succeed," Vegapunk sighed. "Yes, I plan to test Hades' power in a few days." Beltz's eyes sharpened, and he said, "Let's attack Mary Geoise directly!"
"?!" Vegapunk's pupils dilated in shock. "Are we going to start a war right away?"
"I'd call it a declaration of war," Beltz said. "After all, Yhwach has already made his move in Soul Society, so we have to retaliate."
Being constantly on the defensive and taking hits is not in Beltz's nature.
It's easy to get there, but what about coming back?
After all, Beltz doesn't want to engage in a decisive battle with the other side right now.
If he goes alone, it won't affect anything. He can leave whenever he wants, and no one can stop him.
But this time, the purpose is to test the power of the Hades warship and to see how this ancient weapon can damage high-end combat forces.
He can leave whenever he wants, but it's hard to say whether he can take such a huge warship with him.
After all, it takes people to operate the Hades warship, and these people are not necessarily strong.
"You can use 'space transfer'."
After learning of his thoughts, Aizen said directly, "Although this is a very profound forbidden technique of the Kido, I think it shouldn't be a problem for Miss Keiko to use this method."
"Spatial transfer————"
This is a forbidden technique in the Ghost Path, just like "time freeze".
The reason it was listed as a forbidden technique is quite simple.
1. It can be used for almost all types of crime.
2. Determining the scope and destination of the transfer is extremely difficult; failure in either area could result in fatal injuries or even death on the spot.
However, if it were used by Keiko, who surpasses even the Grim Reaper, there wouldn't be that much risk.
The problem is that Keiko hasn't studied the way of the ghosts much.
Ultimately, the Ghost Path is a skill that truly requires a significant investment of time to study.
Keiko was born too young, and she didn't need the Demon Path at all.
The Kido ability looks cool, but in reality, many of them are not very useful.
Those top-tier Breakthrough techniques, in terms of sheer power, are not as effective as a single strike with a Zanpakuto.
The Binding Technique does have many functional abilities, but Keiko doesn't need them.
She had studied the Returning Path carefully, but the Returning Path, the Binding Path, and the Breaking Path are not the same thing.
That bastard Aizen is testing me again.
Beltz remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was thinking to himself.
Don't be fooled by his current cooperative relationship with Aizen; it's purely because of the powerful Yhwach.
Without Yhwach, can he still maintain his current cooperative relationship with Aizen?
Suspended.
After all, Aizen hates being dominated the most. Now he's dealing with Yhwach, so in the future he might have to deal with Adam.
Of course, Beltz had no intention of controlling Aizen. Even if the three were to merge in the future, he had no interest in becoming the ruler of any world. But it all depended on what Aizen himself thought.
After all, from other people's perspectives, Adam is indeed a very suspicious person.
They appeared suddenly, and they have an extremely secretive organization with the ability to connect two worlds.
No matter how you look at it, he seems like an ambitious schemer hiding in the shadows.
A dangerous man.
However, Beltz didn't seem to care much.
Once he had dealt with Yhwach, he was ready to enjoy life.
Who's going to use their wits to outwit you here?
Rather than staying cooped up in this tiny place, he'd rather think about exploring the universe.
After all, if there's a Death God dimension and a One Piece dimension, who knows if there are other worlds out there?
Thinking of this, Beltz said, "Miss Keiko has been very busy lately, so I don't think she will participate in this operation."
o
He continued, "Since you're so interested, Mr. Aizen, why don't you give it a try?"
"Me?" Aizen chuckled upon hearing this. "It's not impossible, but how about you hand over the Hades battleship to me then?"
"Hmm?" Beltz frowned upon hearing this.
Why would Aizen want the Hades battleship?
"Putting this warship on the battlefield will at most only be good for dealing with some weaklings." Aizen seemed to have already figured out how to use the Hades warship. He smiled and said, "But if you give it to me, I can use it as a powerful weapon against Yhwach."
"What are you planning to do?" Beltz asked, intrigued. "Well—"
Aizen chuckled softly: "I naturally have a way."
"Is that so?" Beltz thought for a moment and then said, "No problem at all. If you want it, then it's yours."
Using Hades to clear out the minions is indeed not as good as letting Aizen deal with Yhwach.
"but----"
It's impossible for Aizen to get something for nothing. There's no such thing as a free lunch.
Even if he doesn't say anything, Aizen will understand what he means.
How could a single spatial transfer possibly acquire something like the Hades warship?
So he said, "I'll trade you this."
As he spoke, a [item] appeared in Aizen's hand—
brain?!
"This is—?" Beltz's pupils dilated upon seeing the brain structure. He exclaimed, "A brain?"
"It's the 'Brain in a Vat'," Aizen said calmly. "Among you Quincy, there's someone named Gremie, right? This brain was designed based on his abilities."
"How did you know?" Beltz frowned slightly. Gremy should not have had any contact with Aizen.
Although Aizen has come to the One Piece world, and so has Gremy, how long has Aizen been here?
Greymy isn't in Wano Country either, so how could Aizen have found Greymy so quickly? And even studied his brain?
"Have you forgotten my current abilities?" Aizen chuckled faintly. "I can see the future."
"Then, naturally, we can extract the results of my future experiments from the future."
Beltz thought about it and realized it was true.
Wow, that ability is way too overpowered for Aizen!
Even if a normal person gains the ability to see the future, it only means they can predict the enemy's actions.
But Aizen is different! He's also a scientist!
This is equivalent to him being able to see the latest scientific achievements of the future directly from the past, and then apply those future scientific achievements to his present era!
The only downside to knowing the future is that you can be interfered with by others who also have the ability to change the future.
Therefore, neither he, Aizen, nor Yhwach could see the other's future, and their understanding of the other's future was extremely inaccurate.
Unless they are at least one level better than the other.
Well, it's not that he can't see them at all. For example, Aizen can definitely see the future of Beltz and Ehrensgar, but he can't see the future after the three of them merge into Adam.
Because both Keiko and Adam possess the ability to change the future.
Even Beltz's psychological invisibility can, to some extent, circumvent this ability to predict the future.
Just as a mirage can interfere with omniscience and omnipotence.
But if Aizen is only looking at his own future, then there won't be so many distractions.
Therefore, Aizen in the future might actually have studied Gremy!
This method of mortgaging the future is truly ingenious.
So, did Graymy allow Aizen to conduct research in the future?
Well, anyway, this brain is actually somewhat useful to him.
It's like having a high-level fusion material.
Trading the Hades battleship for Gremy's brain and a chance for Aizen to make a move would indeed be a worthwhile trade.
"Okay, that's settled then."
Beltz agreed to Aizen's condition: "After this matter is settled, you can take this warship."
"When do you plan to make your move?" Aizen asked again.
"Let's wait a few more days." Beltz looked up at the sky and said, "The World Government has issued a call for recruits, and Kaido and Big Mom, those two great pirates, have taken the lead in responding. So, there will only be more and more pirates heading to the World Government in the future."
"Then let's teach them a lesson they'll never forget!"
"So, how will you two choose?"
On a naval warship patrolling near the Navy Headquarters, are the two strongest members of the Navy Headquarters at present.
Sengoku and Garp!
When they saw Kong appear in front of them, their eyes were filled with disbelief.
After all, from their perspective, Kong has been dead for several years!
Why is it back out now?
Has it been brought back to life?
The key point is that as soon as Kong returned, he summoned them out of the Navy Headquarters, and then summoned Dragon from this Navy warship!
Dragon is now the commander of the Self-Defense Forces, a major enemy of the World Government. How come he's hanging out with Kong again?
This was just the beginning of the surprise; what they said next was what shocked them the most!
What, Im?
What Soul Society?
What invisible empire?
What Yhwach?
Yhwach has joined forces with Im? They want to devour the entire world and turn the four realms into their pig farm?
These items one by one —
That's outrageous!
But Sora and Ryu spoke with such conviction that they didn't seem to be lying.
"So—it was Beltz who said that?"
When Beltz was mentioned, Karp's expression turned serious.
Beltz, the super pirate with a bounty of 5.2 billion!
He hasn't been seen in public for several years.
Now I realize that he wasn't even from this world?
No wonder he's always been so elusive!
but----
Can the words of a pirate, especially one with the highest bounty in history, be truly credible?
Sky and Dragon —
Could they have been scammed?
"Whether it's true or not, you'll find out when you come with me to see him," Dragon said in a deep voice. "But in any case, you can't go back to the Navy. I'm worried that if you go back this time, you'll be brainwashed by Im!"
