Quincies have three basic abilities.
The first is Reishi Weaponry, which is the manipulation of the Reishi in the environment.
The second is Shadow, which is constructing a space within shadows.
The third is Blut, divided into Blut Vene and Blut Arterie.
Blut Vene can enhance one's defensive power, while Blut Arterie can enhance one's offensive power.
As a Quincy of the Wandenreich, even if he was just a grunt, he still possessed these three basic abilities.
At this moment, he constructed a small space within the shadows of God Valley and then began to slowly expand it toward the central area.
At the same time, he could also observe the situation outside from within the shadow.
This was the most useful aspect of the power of Shadow.
It was exceptionally strong for gathering intelligence.
A person hidden in the shadow could easily perceive the situation outside, while those outside remained completely unaware.
Even if the opponent also had the ability to manipulate shadows, entering the shadow would not allow them to enter this alternate space he had created.
This was because a Quincy's Schatten Bereich could only be entered by those who were permitted.
Therefore, once hidden inside, he wasn't worried about being discovered.
After about forty or fifty minutes, he successfully expanded the Shadow Space into the room where the Devil Fruits and treasures were kept.
The God Valley competition had prepared nine Devil Fruits. Initially, they were all placed together on the most prominent high platform, but later they were distributed among several different treasure vaults.
He didn't just expand into one vault; he connected the shadows of all these warehouses together.
Although he only wanted to eat the Azure Dragon Fruit, he could still get his hands on the remaining eight Devil Fruits.
Even if he didn't eat them himself, he could sell them to others or give them to his subordinates once he became powerful in the future.
There were Marines guarding the treasure vault.
Hmm, now is not the time to act. Wait a little longer.
He took a few steps back and began to look at the gathering place of the Celestial Dragons outside.
"Those should be Shanks and Shamrock, right?"
Among the Celestial Dragons, he saw two red-haired infants still in their swaddling clothes.
He was quite familiar with the plot of One Piece.
He knew that the Red-Haired brothers were separated at God Valley.
Originally, Saint Figarland Garling of the Knights of God and a red-haired woman from God Valley had fathered the two brothers.
But that scumbag didn't want to take the red-haired woman back to the Holy Land, so he killed her.
Only the two children were left.
However, during the great chaotic battle of God Valley, the two children were taken away by a dragon amidst the confusion. Although Shamrock was eventually snatched back, Shanks was ultimately lost. He ended up crawling into a treasure chest and was eventually taken away by the Roger Pirates.
Would he have a chance to take these two children away as well?
Beltz suddenly had such a thought.
After all, the talent of these two children was obvious, especially Shanks, who would be one of the Four Emperors in the future.
If he could keep them by his side, they might become a huge help to him in the future.
Of course, things like bloodline and talent only accounted for a part of one's future strength.
It also depended on the quality of the teacher.
For Shanks to become so powerful later on, Roger definitely deserved a decisive amount of credit.
So, if he didn't do a good job, he might actually hinder Shanks.
But regardless, these were two excellent prospects. If he could take them away, it would definitely be beneficial for his future.
Well, regardless, he should focus on himself first. Once he ate the Azure Dragon Fruit and got his hands on the other fruits, he would see if there was a chance to take the two children.
Beltz had already locked onto his target.
The Azure Dragon Fruit and the Paw Paw Fruit were both in Warehouse No. 1. So, after observing the situation outside, he ran back into the shadow of Warehouse No. 1.
And then, that hour passed just like that.
The Celestial Dragons immediately began to move, scattering to find the original inhabitants of God Valley and the slaves they had brought.
All of a sudden, the central area emptied out quite a bit, leaving only the guarding Marines.
The Marines really were the loyal dogs of the Celestial Dragons; fearing that the Celestial Dragons might be harmed, they had stationed personnel all over the island.
Not just on the island, but outside the island as well, there were Marine warships; they had completely blockaded the island.
Hidden within the shadow, Beltz naturally went undetected.
Seeing that the time was right, he quietly emerged from the shadow of Warehouse No. 1.
There were also Marines guarding Warehouse No. 1. When they saw a mass of black shadow suddenly appear in the warehouse, they were shocked. But before they could speak, Beltz fired an arrow, directly piercing a Marine's heart from a distance!
Quincies specialized in archery, and Beltz was naturally no exception.
With three arrows fired, he directly took the lives of the three Marines in the warehouse, without even letting them make a sound!
Although he was a small fry among the Quincies, he had no problem dealing with small fries among the Marines.
"Azure Dragon Fruit!"
He directly opened the treasure box of the Azure Dragon Fruit.
The Azure Dragon Fruit and the Paw Paw Fruit were in the same warehouse, and the difference was obvious. After all, the Azure Dragon was the ultimate prize, second only to Shakky, and its position in the warehouse could be described as being surrounded like the moon by stars.
As for the shape... he really couldn't remember clearly. After all, when he read the manga before, he only looked at the characters and didn't really memorize the shapes of the Devil Fruits.
He had heard that Devil Fruits tasted terrible, but right now he couldn't care about that shit-like flavor. He opened his mouth and took a small bite!
Ugh!
Beltz had previously lived in a modern civilized world; when had he ever eaten something so foul? As soon as it entered his mouth, he couldn't stand it. A heartfelt nausea made him want to spit out the fruit pulp in his mouth!
But fortunately, this was a Devil Fruit that would grant immense power once eaten. He forced himself to endure the disgust and swallowed a mouthful of the fruit pulp!
One doesn't need to finish a Devil Fruit; just one bite is enough for the devil's power within to enter the eater's body.
So, at this moment, his body immediately felt a powerful force being born. The power of the Azure Dragon flowed through his body, making him want to roar!
Refreshing! This feeling is amazing!
As expected of a Mythical Zoan Type Devil Fruit. Beltz forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and dragged the Paw Paw Fruit along with all the treasures in the warehouse into the shadow!
He had finished taking the treasures from Warehouse No. 1, but there were still several more warehouses!
A total of nine Devil Fruits and a massive amount of treasure, and now all of these things were his!
Boom!
Just as he was frantically gathering money to make his escape, he suddenly felt the entire island vibrate as if an earthquake had occurred.
Rumble!
A large number of explosions came from the edge of the island.
This is... the Rocks Pirates have arrived!
Although he couldn't see the situation at the edge of the island, he could judge this just by intuition.
He had to speed up his actions!
