Entering his new home, it had clearly been prepared in advance.
A Quincy had already been waiting for him there, respectfully handing the keys to Beltz.
Beltz took the keys, opened the tower, and walked to the top floor.
Opening his room and dismissing all the other guards, he sat alone at the table, continuing to think quietly.
Everyone's Schrift is related to their soul's core; he hadn't expected the essence of his soul to be The Subconscious.
Beltz chuckled.
Not bad at all.
He wasn't in a hurry to return Liltotto's memories to her; the heat hadn't died down yet, so there was no rush.
Besides, he had already left the Sorbet Kingdom; if he wanted to return Liltotto's memories, he would have to find Ginny.
He wouldn't be going back anytime soon.
Next, he was going to find Vegapunk.
After finding Vegapunk, he would also need to find a base of operations.
Where should it be?
According to his previous thoughts, Wano was the best option, as Pluton was there.
Moreover, due to its isolationist policy and the cut-off of information, he wouldn't have to worry about the World Government discovering Vegapunk if he settled there.
But at this point in time, Kozuki Oden was still in Wano.
Kozuki Oden might be a fool, but he was incredibly strong.
Forcing his way in definitely wouldn't work.
Or, could he create a space within the shadows of Wano?
!
That didn't seem impossible.
Just like the Wandenreich, he could completely build a nation within the shadows!
Hmm... with his current shadow abilities, it clearly wasn't enough to open up a shadow world the size of a nation.
But it didn't matter; he could take his time.
It was settled then.
Time was actually quite tight now; he had to hurry to the Sabaody Archipelago.
Before heading to One Piece, Beltz first inspected the room's layout, and after confirming there was no surveillance, he vanished directly from the house.
He returned to the sea.
He transformed into a giant dragon and soared through the sky, flying all the way toward the Sabaody Archipelago.
He had accumulated a lot of time over the past half-month, so he didn't have to worry about running out of time mid-flight.
It sounded like a long time, but it had actually only been a few months since he transmigrated.
It was still the year 1503 of the Sea Circle Calendar, thirty-six years before the start of the main plot.
Thirty-six years was more than enough!
At this moment, Beltz felt immense confidence in his heart.
He was no longer that small fry who could only survive tremulously between two worlds!
Yhwach's blood had not only granted him a Schrift but also significantly increased his spiritual power.
His strength had improved drastically; now, he didn't have to worry even if he encountered the great pirates of the sea.
And next, he would seriously learn the three types of Haki of this world.
He didn't know if he possessed Conqueror's Haki, but both Armament Haki and Observation Haki needed training.
Actually, Observation Haki was more important.
Because Observation Haki had a supreme realm: Future Sight.
Yhwach's ability was to change the future; he really didn't know if he could develop some resistance to Yhwach's future-altering power if he could master Future Sight.
The application of Armament Haki was okay; the most important part was internal destruction, which could be incredibly effective against enemies with Hierro-like skills. But as for the rest... it could only be said that Conqueror's had already become an all-around superior version of Armament Haki.
If he had Conqueror's Haki, that would truly be for the best.
The application of these three types of Haki would also be very useful in the world of Bleach.
Previously, he had spent most of his time training his physical body and the application of his Devil Fruit; his use of Haki was limited to basic hardening.
Now, it was time to systematically train his Haki.
Therefore, this time, besides finding Vegapunk, he also needed to find a 'teacher' who knew Haki.
Who should he look for?
At this stage, if one were to say whose Haki was the strongest, it would definitely be Roger or Whitebeard.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Beltz felt a powerful Reiatsu, no, Haki!
This powerful aura was rapidly approaching him!
Was this a joke? He was in the sky right now; who could be chasing him in the sky?
The technology in One Piece was somewhat lopsided; later on, they could even create robots like the Pacifista, yet they lacked armed weapons like tanks or airplanes.
Tanks aside, after all, a tank couldn't compare to those monsters with powerful bodies.
But not having airplanes was a bit hard to justify.
It was truly a shame that Vegapunk hadn't developed such a convenient means of transport as an airplane.
However, Beltz had his suspicions; he felt that things like airplanes were likely forbidden from being developed by the Celestial Dragons.
Because the Celestial Dragons always considered themselves gods and lived at the highest point of the world, they didn't allow any creatures to be above them.
If there were airplanes, wouldn't ordinary people be able to go into the sky as well?
Where would that leave their dignity as gods?
Since there were no aircraft in this world, those who could fly in the sky were either birds... or people who had eaten a Devil Fruit!
And with such a powerful aura, could it be the Golden Lion?!
He suddenly remembered what Dr. Clover had told him before.
That Golden Lion Shiki was searching everywhere for his whereabouts.
After all, he had taken a vast amount of gold and silver treasures from God Valley.
A single chest in there was worth one billion berries!
Beltz actually hadn't counted how many chests there were even now, but there were at least dozens of them.
In other words, there were at least tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions of berries in his treasury!
Such a massive sum of money was enough to drive the great pirates of the sea completely mad!
And back then, the pirates at God Valley had gone to so much trouble only to end up with nothing; they were indeed very frustrated.
In the end, they could only redirect their anger toward Beltz.
His whereabouts might have been discovered by people in the West Blue last time, so it was understandable that Shiki and the others would come looking for him there.
Golden Lion Shiki, a powerhouse of the Rocks Pirates, he didn't know if Shiki had formed the Flying Pirates yet, but regardless of that power, his own strength was not to be underestimated!
In fact, he was also quite curious about Shiki's strength.
Initially, Shiki was a figure compared to Roger and Whitebeard, but that was actually only mentioned in Chapter 0, which served the movie.
In subsequent mentions of the Golden Lion, he never showed strength on the same level as Roger and Whitebeard.
When he appeared in the God Valley flashback arc, he was even set up as the rival of Silver Axe and had almost no performance in God Valley, so it was hard for him to believe that the Golden Lion was a great pirate on the same level as Whitebeard and Roger!
