If Yhwach, the biological son of the Creation God, directly bestows power upon you, then any limits are irrelevant.
But even Yhwach only distributed a bit more power to his Royal Guard.
Ordinary Sternritter are only given a Schrift.
So he had to think of a convenient method.
Shinigamification of a Quincy?
Hollowfication of a Quincy is definitely out of the question, as Hollows and Quincies are mortal enemies, and even a tiny bit could cause one to 'fall'.
But Shinigami and Quincies are also completely opposing existences.
Compared to the Shinigamification of a Hollow, the Shinigamification of a Quincy would certainly be more volatile and carry higher risks.
Or maybe... just arrange for everything like Kurosaki ichigo: Shinigami, Quincy, and Hollow all in one?
But an individual like Kurosaki ichigo was born out of various coincidences and careful design; trying to recreate that through artificial modification is almost impossible.
As expected... Vegapunk is very important.
He needs the world's greatest scientific genius to help him devise a plan!
In that case, the next time he goes to One Piece, he'll have to get in touch with Dr. Clover.
Beltz had a bit of a headache and decided to just take a shower.
After showering, he had a good sleep, and by the time he woke up, it was already the next day.
Although a lot had happened and he had been traveling back and forth between the Pirate and World of Bleachs, in reality, only one day had passed.
From this moment on, he truly embraced his new life.
And the first thing to do upon waking was, naturally, to cook for Liltotto!
The cooldown for traveling to One Piece wasn't over yet; it should be about finished by the time breakfast was done.
Considering Liltotto's appetite yesterday, Beltz made a very hearty breakfast.
He used up all the ingredients he had bought yesterday but hadn't finished.
Steamed Chicken with Chopped Chili, a bowl of steamed egg custard, eight cheese lava toast rolls, a pan of fried beef potstickers, and a fruit salad.
Damn, he couldn't even eat this much in a day before, but now one breakfast was enough to keep him busy for a whole day.
Beltz knocked on the door to Liltotto's room.
"Who is it?"
Liltotto's voice sounded a bit groggy; she was likely still in bed.
"Lady Liltotto, breakfast is ready. Would you like to..."
Bang!
The door swung open suddenly, and Beltz froze.
Liltotto was currently wearing pajamas, her short blonde hair was a mess, and she looked completely drained of energy.
However, what she looked like didn't matter; what mattered was her room.
Good grief, is this a room fit for a human?
Watermelon rinds, sunflower seed shells, plastic food bags, and various food scraps... while these things didn't exactly fill the room to the ceiling, it was a complete mess.
Looking at it, he thought it was the kind of room belonging to a smelly middle-aged neighbor full of trash bags often seen in certain videos.
Liltotto seemed to realize it too; even her usually expressionless face flushed slightly, and then she slammed the door shut with a bang.
"You go down first. I'll go to your place to eat in a bit."
The air pressure from the door slamming even ruffled Beltz' hair; he stood outside Liltotto's door, feeling a bit dazed.
As expected, no one in the Sternritter is normal.
Then again, in a world that emphasizes individual strength, it's truly difficult for a normal person to reach this level.
Generally speaking, whether it's Shinigami, Hollows, or Quincies, what they tap into is the power of the 'heart'.
Needless to say for Hollows; all Hollows are in the process of searching for their lost hearts.
Shinigami study the Zanpakuto, injecting their own'soul essence' into it and resonating their hearts with the blade to obtain a Zanpakuto unique to them.
Shikai might not have such a close connection, but Bankai is definitely inextricably linked to one's soul!
It's the same for Quincies; every Quincy's Schrift is inseparably linked to their own soul.
In this context, the more distinct and self-centered a person's personality is, the more likely they are to unleash the power of their heart.
Therefore, powerful people are often not 'normal' but individuals with their own pursuits.
This isn't just true in the world of Bleach; it's the same in One Piece.
The strong in One Piece are often those with their own convictions; once they lose those convictions, they become old and ugly, their bodies shrink, and their strength decreases.
After all, Haki itself is the power of will.
For example, if someone feels that the strong shouldn't train or practice, and that training and practice are only things the weak do to catch up to the strong...
...then he, who never trains, won't necessarily be weak.
But if one day he starts to train hard, unless he can find a new set of ideas to support his logic and beliefs, he won't get stronger; instead, he'll become weaker!
An idealistic world is just that unreasonable, yet it has its own set of logic and principles.
Beltz shook his head, then went downstairs and returned to his room.
Not long after, Liltotto had already changed and come down.
Because of the lack of entertainment, even dressing was simple.
Even for a Sternritter, there were only a few sets of clothes.
Beltz suspected that all the clothes in Liltotto's wardrobe were this same white military uniform.
But he had to admit, he thought the Wandenreich uniforms looked pretty cool.
"It's actually so abundant."
Liltotto smelled the mouth-watering aroma of food as soon as she opened the door and walked in. She went up to Beltz and patted him on the shoulder.
"As expected, recruiting you was the right choice."
"Lady Liltotto's praise makes me a bit embarrassed," Beltz chuckled.
"Please, enjoy."
"You sit down too," Liltotto told Beltz to sit opposite her, then curiously picked up a beef potsticker.
This time was different from her previous way of eating like she was swallowing a whole pig in one bite; she just took a small bite and chewed.
After tasting it, Liltotto couldn't help but let out a satisfied hum.
Seeing Beltz' surprised look when she looked up, she immediately said, "I don't eat like that every time. Don't treat me like a monster, okay?"
"Sometimes, I take my time to enjoy things."
"So you don't have to worry about me eating everything. Come on, you eat too."
"...Alright, Lady Liltotto."
Beltz took a bite of food, but just as he picked one up, Liltotto had already finished the previous potsticker.
"..."
Even if she's eating 'slowly', isn't this speed way too fast?
Beltz complained internally; he had only just finished one potsticker, yet Liltotto had already wiped out nearly half the food on the table.
Then... with a bang, the door was pushed open!
"Aha! I was wondering why you weren't in your room! Turns out you've moved in with someone?!"
The Bambies are here again!
