Night.
The nights in Wandenreich are silent.
Already a world of darkness, it becomes even gloomier once night falls, with almost not a single glimmer of light.
Although they are spiritual bodies, in this world, spiritual bodies are just another kind of living creature.
They also eat, drink, and relieve themselves; especially powerful ones like the Sternritter are almost no different from humans in the outside world.
After most people had fallen asleep, Liltotto moved through the Mirror World within the Sternritter towers of Silbern.
"So this is PePe's tower... this guy... is truly disgusting."
Liltotto saw PePe's room through a mirror. PePe himself was a slovenly old Black man, and his room was no different from a garbage dump.
When Beltz first went to Liltotto's room, it was messy enough, but PePe's room was ten times filthier and more chaotic than hers!
Moreover, it wasn't just a matter of messiness; it felt like even the air was foul.
The mirror was placed right in PePe's own bedroom, offering a clear view of the interior. PePe was currently lying in bed, sound asleep and seemingly snoring.
"A bit disgusting..."
Beltz couldn't help but say, "He must have been born in the wrong world."
"What do you mean?" Liltotto frowned, covering her nose.
"I mean, he should have been born in the Underworld," Beltz said, then gave a sheepish smile. "No, it's nothing. Let's hurry up and get to work."
Liltotto was now prepared as well; she covered her nose and stepped out of the mirror.
However, once prepared for battle, whether something was disgusting was another matter entirely.
Liltotto's gaze became resolute, and in the next moment, she fired an arrow. This arrow pierced straight through PePe's chest!
"!"
PePe woke up with a start in that instant, but it was already too late. Liltotto closed the distance immediately, and the moment the arrow pierced him, she reached out and grabbed him by the throat!
"Lil... totto... what... are you... doing?!"
PePe struggled violently, but he only managed to get those words out before completely losing consciousness.
By this time, Beltz had also emerged from the Mirror World, and he had already gone to One Piece.
Ginny and Kuma had long been waiting for him there. Time was tight, so Beltz only said 'follow me' before grabbing Ginny's hand. The two of them vanished from Kuma's sight in an instant!
"..." Kuma looked at the suddenly vanished Beltz and Ginny, his heart still inevitably shaken.
This wasn't the first time he had seen Beltz vanish suddenly, but every time he saw it, it still surprised him.
This performance of suddenly vanishing and then suddenly appearing really made him seem like a messenger of the gods.
Ginny was even more shocked.
One second she was in the church, and the next she found herself in a 'cramped' building that was particularly filthy and messy.
Of course, saying it was cramped was relative to the church; after all, that was the Buccaneer tribe's church, which couldn't be compared to a Sternritter's bedroom built for normal human proportions.
"Lord Beltz?"
Ginny looked at Beltz with some confusion.
The latter explained, "This isn't my residence. I brought you here because I need your help; I want to edit the memories of two people."
Only when Beltz said this did Ginny notice Liltotto standing not far away and the unconscious PePe.
"Can she do it?"
Seeing how small Ginny was, Liltotto couldn't help but feel a bit skeptical.
"Don't worry. Don't let Ginny's age fool you; her skills are quite formidable," Beltz praised.
He wasn't just talking nonsense; the God Valley incident was considered one of the major events in the entire history of One Piece.
And one could say this incident was initiated by Ginny.
It was Ginny who leaked the news that the Celestial Dragons were holding a hunting competition in God Valley, which immediately attracted all the famous pirates from around the world.
At this time, Ginny was only eleven years old. To have such ability at such a young age was truly extraordinary.
"I can do it."
Having received Beltz's encouragement, Ginny took a deep breath and asked, "Lord Beltz, what do I need to do?"
"Use your ability to pull out the memory films of these two. Can you do that?"
"Yes."
Ginny glanced at Liltotto after speaking, but was a bit intimidated by Liltotto's dead-fish eyes.
She bypassed Liltotto first and walked up to the unconscious PePe.
She would use it on PePe first!
She reached her hand toward PePe's head and activated her ability in the next moment!
Instantly, her hand plunged into PePe's head!
Her hand seemed to grasp something inside PePe's head, and as she exerted force, something like a film strip was pulled out by Ginny!
She seemed to be struggling a bit, but she kept pulling it out!
Within these films were precisely PePe's memories!
Among them was the memory of Liltotto's sneak attack on him.
Beltz gestured for Ginny to cut out this segment of memory.
Ginny obeyed and tore that memory away.
"Like this, he won't have that memory anymore?" Liltotto asked.
"Yes," Ginny replied. "Unless I return the film in my hand, he will not have this memory."
"Then..."
Liltotto looked at Beltz and ultimately chose to trust him. She said to Ginny, "Use your ability on me as well."
"O-Okay." Ginny was a bit nervous.
Because she noticed that the relationship between Liltotto and Beltz was not simple, she was somewhat worried about hurting her.
However, with Beltz by her side, she also showed a resolute gaze and walked up to Liltotto.
"Wait a moment."
Seeing Ginny raise her hand, Liltotto suddenly said, "I have a question. If PePe... that disgusting black pig, dies, can my memories still come back?"
"Yes," Ginny nodded and said, "But... I would need to see his corpse."
Liltotto frowned and looked at Beltz.
Beltz had already thought of this. He took a piece of paper from his pocket and said, "It's best if you leave yourself some evidence. If your memories can't come back by then, you can use this evidence to know what you did back then."
Liltotto took the paper and found that what was written on it was exactly what she and Beltz had been doing during this time.
"What about you? What if you get caught too?" Liltotto thought for a moment, drew a symbol on it to serve as a mark, and asked at the same time.
"There's a high probability I won't get into trouble. After all, no one is going to notice a small fry like me, right?" Beltz shrugged.
"Besides, I can teleport instantly. Even if Yhwach discovers me, I can vanish in an instant."
