Dr. Clover was certain that he had never seen Beltz before and didn't know who he was, yet the other party immediately spoke his true name.
What... what exactly is going on?
He followed Beltz out of the island, quickly moving away from the town.
"You can tell me now, who are you?"
Dr. Clover looked at Beltz with sharp eyes.
"Beltz," Beltz said his name, then delivered a sentence that struck Dr. Clover's soul!
"Dr. Clover, you... have actually been researching the Void Century, right?"
!!!
Dr. Clover was so shocked his tongue almost fell out. He looked at Beltz with shock and fear: "What did you say? You can't just blurt out things like that!"
He quickly looked around, afraid that someone nearby might be eavesdropping or recording.
Researching the Void Century, that was a grave sin!
If the World Government found out, not only would he die, but everyone around him would die as well!
"Don't worry, I'm not with the World Government," Beltz said softly. "There are no listening devices nearby either."
But Dr. Clover didn't believe him just like that and still looked at Beltz warily.
"Nine hundred years ago, this world was not as it is now," Beltz continued softly.
"At that time, there was once a highly developed Ancient Kingdom."
"The so-called twenty kings who created this world only established the current World Government after defeating the Ancient Kingdom."
!
These were all things that Dr. Clover and Vegapunk would research in the future, but clearly, the timeline was still too early, and even Dr. Clover hadn't discovered these things yet!
Therefore, when he heard Beltz' words, he was completely stunned.
What... what is this guy talking about?
Is this... the Void Century?
But how... how did he know?
"Beltz... who exactly... are you?" Dr. Clover stopped, looking at Beltz' back, and asked with a solemn expression.
"We fear the unseen."
Beltz, with his hands in his pockets, turned around, his face expressionless:
"We revere the unseen."
"Unseen..." Dr. Clover didn't quite understand Beltz' words, and the other party didn't seem to want to reveal his origins.
Unseen... invisible?
Could it be... a terrifying thought suddenly emerged in Dr. Clover's mind.
Could this guy be from that Ancient Kingdom nine hundred years ago?!
Is that why he would know the contents of the Void Century?
After the Ancient Kingdom was defeated by the World Government, not everyone was killed; a portion of their descendants remained. These descendants inherited the will of the Ancient Kingdom and went into hiding.
Until now... what about D? What's the situation with D?
Beltz could probably guess what Dr. Clover was thinking, but he didn't correct the idea.
After all, it was his own speculation.
"What... does D represent?" Dr. Clover suddenly asked, somewhat agitated: "Why does the World Government want to kill D?"
"D is the name of those who once opposed the World Government. The 'D's that have emerged in various places in recent years are merely 'empty shells' who are completely unaware of the true meaning of their names."
Beltz replied, "All of this is just due to a 'mistake,' which allowed the Poneglyphs to be scattered across the world, thus making it possible for you historians to research history."
"Mistake? What mistake?"
Dr. Clover asked impatiently.
"I can only tell you that it's related to Alabasta."
"Alabasta? The royal family of the twenty kings, but also the only family that didn't go to Holy Land Mary Geoise?"
Beltz didn't reply again, letting Dr. Clover piece it together himself.
"Alright, it seems you won't say anything more," Dr. Clover looked at Beltz seriously:
"Tell me, what exactly is your purpose?"
"You must know Vegapunk, right?"
"Vegapunk... I've met him a few times."
"I have some things I want to tell him. If there's a chance, I hope to meet him."
"That's not an easy task," Dr. Clover said. "He's a prominent figure in MADS now, and Du Feld is keeping a close eye on him. I've heard that even the World Government thinks highly of his talent and is preparing to recruit him."
Beltz shook his head: "It would be a pity if such a man were taken by the World Government."
"If you can contact him, I hope you can tell him that I have everything he needs, and I also have sufficient funds to support his research."
All the treasures the Celestial Dragons prepared for the competition in God Valley were with him!
To be frank, that money was enough for Beltz to buy a country!
The Celestial Dragons were too rich, overflowing with wealth!
It was completely enough for Vegapunk to conduct research for a period of time.
As for later, he could always make more money.
Is making money not simple?
At worst, he could just rob the Celestial Dragons.
Others in One Piece wouldn't dare to offend the Celestial Dragons, but he wasn't afraid. At worst, he could just hide in the world of Bleach, and who could do anything to him then?
"...Okay."
Dr. Clover looked at Beltz for a while, then solemnly said, "If I get a chance to see Vegapunk, I will tell him."
In fact, he had Vegapunk's transponder snail and could tell Vegapunk about this matter as soon as he returned.
"I also need a sea chart of the South Blue."
Beltz added, "Do you have one?"
"Yes," Dr. Clover nodded. "But I need to go back and get it. I'll give you my transponder snail then, so we can contact each other via transponder snail in the future if anything comes up."
"Alright." Beltz calculated the time and then said, "You need to be quick, I'm leaving here soon."
"I'll go get it now." Dr. Clover immediately turned around, preparing to leave.
"You should know the value of what I told you today, and you should also know its danger. If the World Government finds out about this, not only you but all of Ohara will be destroyed."
"So, don't tell anyone."
"I know," Dr. Clover said in a deep voice.
He almost ran back to the Tree of Knowledge.
He returned shortly, holding the sea chart and transponder snail that Beltz needed!
"Well then, see you again someday!"
Beltz took the two items, waved his hand, and walked towards his teleportation spot.
He had to hide these two things first, then go back.
After all, the Wandenreich was not a place to store things.
