Chapter 56
Trading Devil Fruits
"Hmm...? This won't do..."
The Five Elders' words were also within Beltz's expectations.
Before arriving here, the two of them had already rehearsed their dialogue.
While Im's demonization would grant power and immortality, it would make one subject to Im's control.
Why did they leave the world of Death? Wasn't it to escape Yhwach's control?
Having finally escaped from the world of Bleach to the world of One Piece and broken free from Yhwach's control, has he now come to be controlled by Im in the world of One Piece?
Obviously not.
Even without demonization, simply granting immortality will still leave a mark on the body.
If they have a way to counter Im's power, then accepting it wouldn't be a problem.
But for now, let's put it aside. Before we understand Im's abilities or have the ability to evade them, it's not advisable to accept Im's power.
Litoto admired Beltz's wisdom; from the beginning until now, it seemed that everything was under his control.
If she initially approached the collaboration with Beltz with a try-it-out mentality, now she genuinely believes that Beltz can find a better way out.
Therefore, they have gone further and further down the path of betraying the invisible empire.
To be honest, it was actually a little exciting.
"If our bodies contained more of your abilities, it would definitely be detected."
Before the Five Elders could reply, Litoto continued, "However, I also agree with your thinking. As long as they exist, they are a threat to me."
"So I promise you, I will act as your spy until the empire falls, but you must give me the benefits I deserve."
"What do you want?" the Five Elders asked in a deep voice, "The identity of a Celestial Dragon?"
"Are you kidding me? That kind of thing should have existed since the time I started working with you." Litoto looked at Satan with an expression that said he was an idiot, seemingly puzzled as to how he could ask such a stupid question.
"I want a Devil Fruit."
She said directly
"Devil Fruits?" The Five Elders frowned and asked, "What do you want them for? You've already eaten the Mirror-Mirror Fruit; you can't possibly eat a second one."
"I have my subordinates."
Litoto replied, "Strengthening their power is also necessary for me, so that even if we are exposed, they can still serve as my fighting force."
"..." The Five Elders did not answer immediately.
Devil Fruits weren't anything special to them.
Even the Azure Dragon Fruit, the strongest level of Devil Fruit, can be used as a prize.
But every Devil Fruit has the potential to cause a big problem.
However, if a Devil Fruit can be used to bribe Ritoto and her subordinates, then it would be a worthwhile deal.
To put it bluntly, even those fat, useless Celestial Dragons outside can let their slaves eat Devil Fruits, which shows that they don't take Devil Fruits too seriously.
"no problem."
Piet Saint replied, "We will prepare the Devil Fruit for you, but in exchange, you must provide more information."
"Um……"
After Litoto finished speaking, she paused for a moment and said, "Let's talk about it next time I come. I'm hungry now and need to eat something. My time will be up after I finish eating."
"no problem."
The Five Elders were no longer in a hurry, since they couldn't immediately launch another attack on the Unseen Empire.
Dealing with the invisible empire will be a long-term process.
Meanwhile, Beltz was en route to the South China Sea.
Based on previous experience, it should take about three days to travel from the Red Line to the Kingdom of Sorbe.
So it's definitely not going to make it this time.
Fortunately, this time we didn't have the treasure land with us, so we didn't have to find a suitable place every now and then like before.
All you need to do is keep flying.
Half an hour later, he and Litoto were forcibly sent back to the Invisible Empire.
Seeing how big Litoto's belly was from eating, Beltz smirked.
"Looks like the deal is already done?"
"Hmm." Litoto leaned back lazily on the sofa and said casually, "Next time I go, they will prepare Devil Fruits."
"However, I also have to give up some intelligence."
"No problem, just say whatever you want, they have no way of verifying it anyway."
After speaking, Beltz picked up his coat from the clothes rack in the distance.
"I'm going to the training ground to train now. I need to work hard during this time in order to obtain the Holy Script."
The Star Cross selection process is divided into three stages.
The selection process consists of three parts: the selection of soldiers, the selection of holy soldiers, and then the selection of adjutants.
First, the lowest-ranking soldiers competed to select the six strongest to advance to the second round.
The second round is a competition between the holy soldiers and the six soldiers who advanced. After layers of selection, six people will be chosen to advance.
The third round is for the lieutenants. These six people compete against the lieutenants of the Sternritter to select the final six to become Sternritter.
Because Beltz was Litoto's adjutant, he didn't need to participate in the first two rounds of selection; he could simply wait for the qualifiers to advance in the third round.
So his time is generally quite ample.
Furthermore, you don't need to bring Litoto with you next time you enter the pirate world. You can just let Litoto go in when you really need a Devil Fruit.
As a traitorous undercover agent, Litoto's frequent visits to Mary Geoise would arouse suspicion from the World Government.
After all, what kind of country would allow its people to disappear at will after an invasion?
Therefore, if they were to travel to the pirate world next, Belz would be the only one left.
This time it was even faster than last time, arriving in the Kingdom of Sorbe in about two days.
"Big Bear, Ginny!"
He arrived outside the church and greeted the two people who were farming.
"Ah! It's Lord Beltz!"
Both of them were happy to see Beltz back.
After all, Beltz had gone to Mary Geoise, a very dangerous place, and they were all worried that something might happen to her.
Fortunately, he appears to be unharmed.
"Lord Beltz, what were you doing in Mary Geoise? We were so worried about you!"
Ginny ran over and hugged Beltz's hand, excitedly asking, "Are we leaving again this time?"
Beltz ruffled Ginny's hair and said, "I've come back this time to ask for your help, Ginny."
"Huh?" Ginny was taken aback, and couldn't help but ask, "Me? What does Lord Beltz want me to do?"
"I need you to eat the Memory Fruit, and then help me delete... edit some people's memories."
Beltz said softly, "The only people I can trust are you and Big Bear."
"Hey!"
Ginny blushed upon hearing this and immediately nodded, saying:
"Our lives were saved by you, Lord Beltz! Whatever you need to do, we will do it!"
