There are two ways to increase spiritual power.
One is to follow a set routine and guide Reishi into the body.
This method of training is very slow, so people won't feel any progress for years or even decades.
The other way is through combat.
In extreme battles, the spiritual body will frantically absorb Reishi from the outside world, so people become stronger after every battle.
Especially after the main story begins, the members of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads undergo major upgrades with every single arc.
Except for those captains who have lived for hundreds of years and find it difficult to make further progress.
But regardless, as mentioned before, the growth cycle in the world of Bleach is much longer than in the One Piece World.
Haki in the One Piece World is indeed easier to improve compared to spiritual power.
Haki is a latent power possessed by everyone in the One Piece World and considered innate ability.
It consists of things like presence, killing intent, and fighting spirit, feelings that only exist in one's imagination.
When manipulating these invisible feelings, one's willpower can be turned into a weapon; this powerful force is what people call Haki.
Therefore, Haki is a rather idealistic power; as long as your conviction is strong enough, your Haki will become stronger.
Similarly, a person's Haki will grow after a battle.
Simply put, if you defeat someone, your self-confidence will surely grow, and thus your Haki will become stronger.
Training is also a process of increasing self-confidence, because after training, you will surely believe you are stronger than before, and thus your Haki will grow accordingly.
So, it is a rather idealistic power.
Beltz experienced God Valley, ate the Azure Dragon Fruit, fought Celestial Dragons, rescued thousands of indigenous people, battled Kaido, and even thought about watching the great battle between Rocks and Imu!
Every single event was equivalent to increasing his Haki.
And this increased Haki naturally converted into spiritual power upon returning to the world of Bleach.
In other words, in this one round trip, in just a few short hours, he felt that the spiritual power in his body had increased by sixty to seventy percent!
Once he completely digests this spiritual power, combined with the Azure Dragon Fruit he ate before, he feels his strength has received a massive boost.
He feels that while he might not be at the level of a Sternritter yet, he is at least comparable to a top-tier Soldat.
That is, the adjutant of a Sternritter.
Although these people didn't appear much in the manga or anime, every Sternritter has an adjutant.
If a Sternritter position becomes vacant, it's entirely possible for him to step up.
After all, as long as Yhwach grants him a Schrift, his strength will increase further.
Wait... Yhwach?!
Beltz suddenly had an idea.
Since he already has the One Piece World as a fallback and isn't afraid of Yhwach's Auswählen, then... why shouldn't he reap more benefits?
Yhwach's Schrift is also a very important resource!
Just like the Devil Fruits in the One Piece World, if he could get a top-tier Schrift, wouldn't he be a top-tier dual-ability user?
Just like Blackbeard in the One Piece World.
While he couldn't eat two Devil Fruits like him, he could have a Devil Fruit in one hand and a Schrift in the other!
Become a Sternritter!
But currently, the Sternritter are at full capacity, and to rise up... he would have to wait for something to happen to one of them.
And even if a spot opened up, how would he be chosen?
The power of the Azure Dragon Fruit cannot be easily exposed, as that thing would be hard to explain.
Beltz scratched his head.
This matter needed long-term planning, so there was no need to rush it.
His eyes darted around, and he decided to go out and buy some groceries.
Quincy soldiers naturally had a canteen, and they usually ate there.
But Beltz didn't plan to mistreat himself, and secondly... he planned to use food to lure someone in.
As the saying goes, fate teases the glutton; one meal can lead to a fiancé.
Isn't Liltotto a glutton? He could start from the food aspect to get closer to her.
He'd see if he could first become the adjutant of a certain Sternritter; this would give him more opportunities to show his face to the higher-ups, and when a Knight position became vacant, they might let him fill it.
Was he kidding? In his past life, he was an orphan and had been cooking since he was a child; wouldn't it be simple to handle this group of Quincies who had lived miserably in the shadows for a thousand years?!
The environment of the Wandenreich was harsh, but their technology was quite advanced, and they had all the necessary ingredients; it was just that, with their heads full of nothing but revenge, they never thought about improving their living conditions.
After all, only through hardship would they long for the warm, sun-filled world outside.
The Sternritter class didn't have to suffer, but restricted by the Empire's system, they didn't have much in the way of entertainment even if they wanted it.
Little Liltotto, how could I not win you over?
Of course, he wouldn't go looking for Liltotto specifically.
If Liltotto still remembered him, she would find him herself.
If she didn't remember him, that would also be a good thing, saving him the effort of fooling her.
At least on that day, Liltotto might have put his matter out of her mind.
After Beltz came back with the groceries and made some food, Liltotto didn't show up.
After cleaning up the dishes, a flash of inspiration suddenly hit his brain.
He suddenly felt that as long as he wanted to, he could enter the One Piece World!
He could finally go back in!
He had been a bit worried before that his cheat was a one-time thing; if he couldn't go to the One Piece World anymore, wouldn't the Devil Fruit he hid before be wasted?
Even if he couldn't eat it, a Devil Fruit still had massive utility.
And if he couldn't go back, then all his previous plans would be for nothing.
Feeling this urge to travel now, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He first calculated his schedule; he had nothing to do for at least the next ten hours.
But considering that Liltotto might come to his place, it would be bad if she found him suddenly disappearing and reappearing, so he picked up the trash and went out.
Most residents of the Wandenreich were taciturn, and everyone seemed to be in a hurry as if they had their own business to attend to.
Following the original body's memories, he went to a secluded place, and then... travel!
Instantly, he arrived in the One Piece World once again!
As soon as he emerged, he was in the air, exactly where he had left, and was currently falling rapidly toward the island below.
He didn't transform into the azure dragon; the azure dragon's size was simply too large, and if there were enemies around, it would definitely attract their attention.
