#230 - Harvest Hueco Mundo and Soul Society! Absorb the power of Zanpakutō!
Gin Ichimaru, on his side, although choosing to rejoin the Soul Society once again, could no longer become a Captain due to his previous betrayal.
Moreover, perhaps with the idea of making use of a useless piece, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni even dispatched Gin Ichimaru to the newly opened Vandenreich.
Yes.
In this short period, the Research and Development Department, under immense pressure, finally found a way to properly enter the Vandenreich without being instantly annihilated by Yhwach.
However, this method was only newly discovered and had not yet been verified.
Gin Ichimaru, returning to the Soul Society once again, became the experimental subject to atone for his sins.
Carrying the special decorations invented by the Research and Development Department under the leadership of Mayuri Kurotsuchi.
Gin Ichimaru took one last look at Rangiku Matsumoto before stepping resolutely into the Vandenreich shrouded in shadows.
Accompanied by the shifting of light and shadow before his eyes.
In an instant, Gin Ichimaru entered a sacred space.
This special space could only be described as sacred.
Everything around seemed to be enveloped in a hazy, pure white holy light, just like the paradise in the Bible.
Gin Ichimaru had just entered when he was quickly discovered by the Sternritter, surrounded, and brought before Yhwach.
Sitting on the throne, Yhwach chuckled and looked at Gin Ichimaru with disdain, saying: "Yamamoto wouldn't think that these little tricks would be enough to resist my Vandenreich, would he? Tell me, what is Yamamoto's purpose in sending you to the Vandenreich?"
Despite what he said, Yhwach seemed to look down on Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, but in reality, even Yhwach himself valued Yamamoto's abilities greatly.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have tried every possible means to seize Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's Zanpakuto, Ryujin Jakka.
After all, Yhwach was defeated by Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and Ryujin Jakka in the past.
This time, besides bearing the responsibility of verifying the equipment invented by the Research and Development Department to resist the pressure of the Vandenreich, Gin Ichimaru's more crucial task was to negotiate with Yhwach.
Indeed, it didn't exceed Luo Fu's expectations.
After he demonstrated his terrifying spiritual pressure, enough to replace the Soul King, and even the leader of the Zero Division, Ichibei Hyosube, personally appeared.
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni decisively chose to temporarily put aside his hatred with Yhwach and deal with Luo Fu first.
Both the Vandenreich and the Soul Society were well aware that neither of them alone had the possibility of defeating Luo Fu.
If the two sides were to fight each other first, then Luo Fu would be able to easily reap the benefits of both Hueco Mundo and the Soul Society.
Under this premise, even for the sake of their own continuation, Yhwach and Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, these former mortal enemies, could only choose to temporarily put aside their hatred and join forces to eliminate the great enemy, Luo Fu, first.
Since Luo Fu appeared and Yhwach returned to the Vandenreich, he had been delaying the invasion of the Soul Society precisely because of this.
On Luo Fu's body, Yhwach's Almighty was indeed rendered useless for ninety-nine percent of the time, but within the Almighty, the unknown about Luo Fu only involved Luo Fu and the Shared Space.
Each sharing, in Yhwach's eyes, was like overturning all his previous observations, but in the gaps between the two sharing, Yhwach was still able to see a lot of future information.
Unfortunately, during this period, even though Yhwach constantly observed the future, all he saw were scenes of himself and the Soul Society being reduced to ashes under Luo Fu's attack.
Even if the two sides joined forces, it would only slightly prolong the process, but the final result would not change in any way.
The two sides putting aside their grudges to join forces was already like this, let alone facing him alone.
That's why, after Gin Ichimaru entered the Vandenreich, despite Yhwach's hatred for the Shinigami, he not only didn't let the Sternritter attack directly but instead personally met Gin Ichimaru.
Before entering the Vandenreich, Gin Ichimaru had crammed on information about the Vandenreich, the Quincy, and Yhwach.
Since the Quincy were completely annihilated, except for a few remnants in the human world, there were very few Shinigami who knew about the Quincy, let alone Yhwach, who created the Quincy lineage.
Facing Yhwach, Gin Ichimaru felt even more pressure than facing Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and Aizen.
Putting away his laughter, Yhwach suddenly seemed to sense something.
Glancing at Gin Ichimaru, his gaze seemed to transcend time and space, directly watching what was happening in the human world at this moment.
The Human World.
Karakura High School.
As the bell rang for the end of class.
Like a delinquent teenager, Ichigo Kurosaki couldn't wait to come to Orihime Inoue and Tatsuki Arisawa, saying: "You two, come with me! I have something to ask you."
Orihime Inoue and Tatsuki Arisawa exchanged a glance.
Soon, they followed Ichigo Kurosaki to the rooftop of the school building.
"Why did you two betray and join someone like Luo Fu?"
"Ichigo."
Tatsuki Arisawa frowned.
As a friend who had known Ichigo Kurosaki since the age of four, even someone who could be considered a childhood friend, Tatsuki Arisawa was indeed somewhat dissatisfied with Ichigo Kurosaki's attitude at this moment.
"Luo Fu-sama is not someone you can belittle."
"Belittle?"
Ichigo Kurosaki almost laughed in anger.
"Do you know who that guy is? He is a traitor to the Soul Society, and…"
"Enough."
Orihime Inoue suddenly interrupted Ichigo Kurosaki loudly, saying: "No matter who Luo Fu-sama is, Luo Fu-sama saved my brother. Kurosaki-kun, I don't want these things to affect our classmates."
Tatsuki Arisawa's mouth twitched instantly. Although she knew that Orihime Inoue was a natural airhead, she didn't expect her to be this airheaded.
Earlier in the Soul Society, from the attitudes of the two sides, one could tell that they were mortal enemies.
Tatsuki Arisawa knew her position very well, but in Orihime Inoue's eyes, it seemed that it didn't exist at all.
Since Luo Fu had already made it clear that he was going to be an enemy of the Soul Society.
Then in Tatsuki Arisawa's eyes, they, these staunch supporters of Luo Fu, would naturally firmly stand on the opposite side of the Soul Society.
And Ichigo Kurosaki, this Shinigami of the Soul Society, naturally became a future enemy in Tatsuki Arisawa's eyes.
Although in Tatsuki Arisawa's heart, she also felt somewhat unable to face Ichigo Kurosaki, her former childhood friend.
But one thing Tatsuki Arisawa was much stronger than Orihime Inoue in was that she knew her position very well.
Your position determines your thoughts, this was very evident in Tatsuki Arisawa, while Orihime Inoue obviously hadn't thought of these things yet.
Even the harsh words she was saying to Ichigo Kurosaki now were mostly because, in Orihime Inoue's eyes, Ichigo Kurosaki's words slandered Luo Fu-sama, who had saved her brother.
"Cough cough…"
Clearing her throat twice, Tatsuki Arisawa knew that she couldn't let Orihime Inoue and Ichigo Kurosaki continue to communicate.
Otherwise, with that silly girl's brains, she might be persuaded by Ichigo Kurosaki and be unable to stand firm in her position.
After all, she and Orihime Inoue were now in the same boat.
Tatsuki Arisawa certainly wouldn't watch such a thing happen.
"Orihime, let me speak."
Ichigo Kurosaki looked at Tatsuki Arisawa with resentment, saying: "Tatsuki, why you…"
"Ichigo."
Interrupting Ichigo Kurosaki, Tatsuki Arisawa said: "You should have studied history too. We are now like generals in the Warring States period. You joined the Soul Society, like choosing to serve Nobunaga-ko, while Orihime and I chose Taiko-sama."
For Ichigo Kurosaki, Tatsuki Arisawa's analogy was much easier to understand.
Nobunaga-ko was Oda Nobunaga, the Sixth Heaven Demon King of the Warring States period in Japan, while Taiko was Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
Understanding this, Ichigo Kurosaki's expression suddenly became complicated.
Because, in Tatsuki Arisawa's explanation, the concepts of justice and evil were completely abandoned, replaced by serving their respective lords.
Ichigo Kurosaki could become a Shinigami of the Soul Society, then Tatsuki Arisawa and Orihime Inoue could certainly choose to join Luo Fu.
Even if in the Soul Society, in the Soul Society, in Ichigo Kurosaki's eyes, Luo Fu was a traitor to the Soul Society.
But in the Warring States period, betrayals and vendettas among those famous daimyos were completely commonplace.
After Tatsuki Arisawa chose the explanation of serving their respective lords, Ichigo Kurosaki could only look at Tatsuki Arisawa and Orihime Inoue with a complicated expression.
“You… you guys be careful!”
Although he really wanted to remind Orihime Inoue and Tatsuki Arisawa that the Soul Society was preparing to deal with Luo Fu.
However, Tatsuki Arisawa's words of loyalty made Kurosaki Ichigo feel a strange sense of responsibility.
Now that he had chosen to stand on the side of the Soul Society, he couldn't waver.
After reminding the two of them, Kurosaki Ichigo turned and left.
At this time, Orihime Inoue still didn't seem to understand the adversarial position between them and Kurosaki Ichigo.
“Ano.” Scratching her head, Orihime Inoue looked at Tatsuki Arisawa in surprise and said, “Tatsuki, why are we enemies with Ichigo-kun?”
Tatsuki Arisawa sighed softly and said, “Orihime, it's not that we want to be enemies with Kurosaki Ichigo, but… it's about stance, don't you understand?”
After frowning, Tatsuki Arisawa said, “If you don't understand, then let me put it this way: Kurosaki Ichigo is going to be enemies with your brother. Do you want your brother to die at the hands of the Soul Society?”
Orihime Inoue suddenly shuddered.
Although she still didn't have a deep understanding of the so-called stance issue that Tatsuki Arisawa mentioned, when it came to her brother's safety, Orihime Inoue instantly made a clear decision.
You must know that she had finally managed to see her brother again, even though she knew that her brother was already dead and had even transformed into a so-called Hollow.
However, after learning that souls still existed after death, Orihime Inoue completely ignored the fact of Inoue Hao's death. Anyway, in her small mind, as long as she could see her brother again, her brother's so-called death was no longer important.
But if she let her brother die at the hands of the Soul Society, then Orihime Inoue would definitely not agree.
Seeing that Orihime Inoue finally understood, Tatsuki Arisawa breathed a sigh of relief and said, “In short, we have to be careful with Kurosaki Ichigo in the future.”
“Mhm, mhm, mhm.” Orihime Inoue nodded repeatedly.
Yhwach, who was in the shadows of the Soul Society, in the Wandenreich, saw the exchange between Kurosaki Ichigo, Orihime Inoue, and Tatsuki Arisawa.
A complex light flashed in his eyes instantly.
Infinite future possibilities constantly emerged in his vision.
Soon, Yhwach looked back at Gin Ichimaru in front of him and said, “I can agree to cooperate with the Seireitei, but I must first see Yamamoto's sincerity.”
Gin Ichimaru was puzzled, not knowing why Yhwach's attitude had changed so much in an instant.
But his purpose was to convey the Soul Society's request for cooperation to Yhwach.
As long as Yhwach was willing to agree, then his purpose would be achieved. As for the conditions in between, it was not up to Gin Ichimaru to decide.
Who told Gin Ichimaru to be in a situation of making amends for his sins now?
Sending Gin Ichimaru to the Wandenreich was equivalent to using him, the former captain of the Third Division, as a disposable item.
Receiving a positive answer, Gin Ichimaru bowed slightly and said, “I wonder what kind of sincerity you need!”
“In Karakura Town in the human world, in a school, there are two girls. I need you to bring those two girls to me. As long as you bring these two girls, then I will agree to cooperate with Yamamoto.” Yhwach said meaningfully.
“May I ask for the names of those two girls?” Gin Ichimaru performed his duties conscientiously.
“Tatsuki Arisawa, Orihime Inoue.” Yhwach said meaningfully.
In the Seireitei.
Waiting in the shadows for who knows how long.
As the director of the Research and Development Department, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, the spiritual pressure observation device in front of him suddenly emitted a series of beeps.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi hurriedly said, “Everyone be careful, something is about to come out of the Shadow Empire.”
At the moment Mayuri Kurotsuchi's voice fell.
Gin Ichimaru's figure instantly appeared from the shadows in front of the Shinigami.
Having just come out of the Wandenreich, Gin Ichimaru raised his hands and said, “Oh my, oh my, everyone be careful, I have brought a good news to the Captain-Commander.”
Cooperation with Yhwach was related to the Seireitei's next major plan.
Not only was Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni here, but even Squad Zero's Kirinji Tenjiro was also present.
“Gin Ichimaru, what are the conditions of this sinner Yhwach?” Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni leaned on his cane.
While the Shinigami of the Research and Development Department and Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi were conducting various inspections on Gin Ichimaru.
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni asked straight to the point, as if he had already expected that Yhwach would definitely agree to the request for cooperation, but would make conditions.
Raising his hands, Gin Ichimaru's fox-like face wore a familiar false smile and said, “Yhwach needs Captain-Commander Yamamoto to show sincerity.”
“Sincerity?” Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni frowned and said, “What sincerity does he need me to show?”
“Two girls from the human world.”
“Girls from the human world?” Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was really a little unsure of Yhwach's thoughts.
No matter how you looked at it, Yhwach's condition was a bit too absurd.
He, the dignified ancestor of the Quincy, the emperor of the Wandenreich, wanted the Seireitei to show sincerity by handing over two girls from the human world?
No matter how you looked at it, it was unreasonable and even more confusing.
After thinking for a moment, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni said, “Who are the girls he wants?”
“One is called Tatsuki Arisawa, and the other is called Orihime Inoue.”
“What?!” Before Gin Ichimaru could finish speaking, Rukia Kuchiki, the onion head who had been pardoned because of a series of changes such as Aizen, Luo Fu, and Yhwach, exclaimed in surprise.
This sudden exclamation immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni looked at Rukia Kuchiki and asked, “Kuchiki Seated Officer, do you know these two girls?”
The sudden emergence of Luo Fu, Aizen, and Yhwach not only released Rukia Kuchiki without guilt, but even reinstated her original position, still serving as the third seat in the Thirteenth Division.
A look of unnaturalness appeared on her pretty face, but Rukia Kuchiki did not dare to neglect and hurriedly said, “Captain-Commander, Tatsuki Arisawa and Orihime Inoue are… are Kurosaki Ichigo's classmates, subordinate… subordinate was in the human world at the time…”
“No need to say these.” Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni rudely interrupted Rukia Kuchiki and said, “I want to know, do these two girls have any special identities?”
Slightly stunned, after thinking for a while, Rukia Kuchiki suddenly seemed to have thought of something, a look of horror flashed in her eyes, and she said, “Captain-Commander, there's a trick, Tatsuki Arisawa and Orihime Inoue, before, were with… were with Luo Fu at Sokyoku Hill.”
Rukia Kuchiki's words immediately caused an uproar among the people present.
The appearance of Luo Fu at Sokyoku Hill was too eye-catching.
Although the Shinigami also noticed the two girls beside Luo Fu, no matter Tatsuki Arisawa or Orihime Inoue, they became inconspicuous under Luo Fu's light. Who would care about the two little followers beside Luo Fu?
But now, Rukia Kuchiki's words made Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and a group of Shinigami instantly react.
Yhwach's conditions were indeed not groundless.
Putting aside everything else, just the fact that these two girls could be brought by Luo Fu was enough to make people understand that these two girls were Luo Fu's subordinates.
But Yhwach wanted the Seireitei to hand these two girls over to him.
Wasn't he forcing the Seireitei to take a step forward and completely antagonize Luo Fu in advance?
“In that case, these two girls are very important to that Luo Fu.” Kirinji Tenjiro stroked his bald head and said, “Since that's the case, we can't be led by the nose by Yhwach. We and Yhwach will each capture one and hand them over to the other party.”
At this moment, Tatsuki Arisawa and Orihime Inoue had no idea that they had been regarded by the Shinigami as a certificate of allegiance to cooperate with Yhwach.
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni nodded in agreement and said, “Since Yhwach wants us to show sincerity, then he must also show sincerity. The Seireitei and the Quincy will each capture one of the two girls and hand them over to the other party.”
After a slight pause, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni looked at Gin Ichimaru and said, “Gin Ichimaru, convey my attitude to Yhwach.”
Gin Ichimaru, who was still undergoing inspection, smiled bitterly upon hearing this and said, “Captain-Commander, there's no need.”
Before Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni could speak again, Gin Ichimaru directly explained, “Yhwach seems to know that we will definitely propose this condition. Which of these two girls should our Seireitei capture?”
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni nodded slightly, then looked at Rukia Kuchiki on the side and said, “Kuchiki Seated Officer, since you know these two girls, then you can choose.”
Rukia Kuchiki immediately felt great pressure.
She could be considered to have been classmates with Tatsuki Arisawa and Orihime Inoue.
But now she had to betray her friends for the cooperation between the Seireitei and the Wandenreich.
After hesitating for a while, Rukia Kuchiki said with a stiff face, “I… I don't know either. I always thought that these two girls were just ordinary people, so, if I were to choose, it should be about the same, right!”
“If that’s the case, then just pick one at random. Anyway, since these two girls were chosen by Luo Fu, they are no longer ordinary people. Even if we target them, they aren't innocent.” Bingzhube Ichibei laughed loudly and said, “Then how about this Orihime Inoue? What does Captain Yamamoto think?”
Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni nodded expressionlessly and said, “This matter should be done sooner rather than later. Gin Ichimaru, you…”
This time, Gin Ichimaru seemed to be used to it, interrupting him preemptively, “Captain Commander, this time, Yhwach has still guessed your choice. The people from the Wandenreich will capture Tatsuki Arisawa and exchange her with us in five hours.”
This time, Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni's expression wasn't as calm as before.
When he heard that Yhwach had guessed his every decision, a thick cloud of gloom covered Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni's heart.
After all, it wouldn't be a good thing if his every move was known to the enemy.
But right now, there was the trouble of Luo Fu that needed to be resolved urgently.
Even though he already had a strong sense of vigilance towards Yhwach in his heart, Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni had to temporarily suppress his inner impulses.
“Gin Ichimaru, I'll assign you the task of capturing Orihime Inoue. If you can bring Orihime Inoue back, then after atoning for your crimes, I will allow you to reassume the position of captain of the Third Division.”
Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni was obviously still wary of Gin Ichimaru.
However, his main target of defense was still Yhwach.
Who asked Gin Ichimaru to be the one who went to the Wandenreich to communicate this time?
A series of exchanges made Gin Ichimaru completely act as Yhwach's representative.
This forced Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni to be vigilant.
Having had an experience of betrayal, in Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni's eyes, Gin Ichimaru was still untrustworthy.
Or rather, unless Gin Ichimaru showed enough sincerity to dispel suspicion, this suspicion would continue to缠绕 around Gin Ichimaru.
And the best way for Gin Ichimaru to show his sincerity was to contribute the greatest merit and facilitate this cooperation with Yhwach.
Letting Gin Ichimaru take action and go to the human world to capture Orihime Inoue was undoubtedly the best choice for Gin Ichimaru to regain the trust of Seireitei.
Karakura Town.
Unaware that they had become the targets of Seireitei and the Wandenreich.
After school, Orihime Inoue and Tatsuki Arisawa had no intention of participating in club activities. Instead, they chose to leave the school and go directly to Hueco Mundo.
However, at the same time they left the school.
Several figures stood firmly in front of the two, even vaguely surrounding Orihime Inoue and Tatsuki Arisawa.
The human world, just as a great battle was about to unfold.
Inside the desolate Hueco Mundo.
Luo Fu stood in front of Retsu Unohana, who was panting and unable to stand up, and said, “Captain Unohana, you've lost.”
Hearing this, Retsu Unohana suddenly collapsed to the ground as if she had lost her spiritual support.
Looking up at the sky of Hueco Mundo, Retsu Unohana revealed a look of reminiscence. She said, “Yes, I lost.”
Hearing Retsu Unohana's personal admission of defeat.
Luo Fu slowly came to Retsu Unohana and pressed his hand against the wound on Retsu Unohana's lower abdomen.
A powerful healing ability instantly restored Retsu Unohana to her original state. Even the spiritual power that had been nearly exhausted after a high-intensity battle had returned to nearly eighty percent.
Retsu Unohana's eyes lit up and she said, “This is… your Zanpakuto ability? You have completely transformed the Zanpakuto's ability into your own?”
That's right, the healing ability that Luo Fu was showing at this moment was, in Retsu Unohana's eyes, Luo Fu's Zanpakuto ability.
You must know that the reason why Luo Fu was so mediocre in everything, but was still able to become the sixth seat of the Fourth Division, was because of Luo Fu's awakened Zanpakuto, whose Shikai ability was like Tenseiga, possessing incredible healing effects.
If it weren't for the Zanpakuto's ability being too suitable for the scope of responsibility of the Fourth Division, Luo Fu would have even had trouble graduating from the True Spirit Arts Academy.
The person who accepted Luo Fu into the True Spirit Arts Academy was none other than Retsu Unohana in front of him.
It could be said that in Seireitei, before Luo Fu entered the shared space, the person who was most familiar with him was Retsu Unohana.
In fact, the Zanpakuto awakening healing ability was extremely rare in itself. Before Luo Fu, the strongest healing ability was Retsu Unohana, the captain of the Fourth Division.
However, Luo Fu forcibly snatched this identity from Retsu Unohana.
It was precisely because of this that Retsu Unohana would look at Luo Fu with special eyes, and even exceptionally promote Luo Fu to the position of seated officer.
The Gotei Thirteen Divisions each have their own areas of responsibility.
However, the conditions of each division require selecting members who meet their own characteristics, while also having hard requirements for the strength of the members themselves.
After all, Soul Reapers themselves need to constantly fight against Hollows.
This kind of battle is full of crises, and a single mistake can lead to the risk of falling. No member of any division is truly safe.
However, Luo Fu, a guy who was almost a battle-five-trash, was able to thrive in the Fourth Division, and even became the sixth seat by relying on his special healing consumption.
This was purely because Retsu Unohana looked at him with special eyes.
Of course, for Retsu Unohana, the elder who established the Gotei Thirteen Divisions of Seireitei, she had the qualifications to be so willful.
And in the beginning, Retsu Unohana's attention to Luo Fu was entirely because she was curious whether Luo Fu, if he could achieve Bankai, would open up an astonishingly lethal ability like her Zanpakuto.
However, what was unexpected was that Luo Fu had undergone such a gorgeous transformation in the blink of an eye.
The two surges in spiritual pressure not only gave a strong stimulus to Seireitei, but also to the Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and the Wandenreich.
The ability of a Soul Reaper needs to be stimulated by a Zanpakuto.
Or rather, the Zanpakuto, which is a part of the Soul Reaper's soul, itself contains the Soul Reaper's ability.
But now, in Retsu Unohana's eyes, Luo Fu had truly broken this iron law.
He had actually completely transformed the power of his own Zanpakuto into his own.
Between his hands, he could unleash the Shikai ability without even the process of release.
Luo Fu smiled lightly and said, “Captain Unohana, don't underestimate the potential of Soul Reapers. The power of Soul Reapers does not necessarily have to be entrusted to Zanpakuto.”
Retsu Unohana was immediately stunned.
As one of the elders who established the Gotei Thirteen Divisions of Seireitei, how could Retsu Unohana not know that the existence of Zanpakuto actually does not have a long history?
Even the prototype of the Zanpakuto, Asauchi; were personally crafted by Nimaiya Oetsu, a member of the Zero Division.
Yes.
Every Asauchi is from the hands of Nimaiya Oetsu, a member of the Zero Division.
In other words, even during the time when Retsu Unohana was the unprecedentedly great villain of the Soul Society, even she did not have the existence of a Zanpakuto in her hands.
To some extent, the Zanpakuto is a shortcut to help Soul Reapers acquire their own power in advance.
But now, the Zanpakuto has, to some extent, changed from a shortcut to a shackle for Soul Reapers.
Slowly exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, Retsu Unohana said, “It seems that taking back the power of the Zanpakuto is the future of Soul Reapers.”
Luo Fu smiled without saying a word.
But he did not tell Retsu Unohana that even he himself could not do what Luo Fu now calls taking back the power of the Zanpakuto.
However, in Luo Fu's opinion, this is indeed the future of Soul Reapers.
Don't forget that after Aizen fused with the Hogyoku, his Zanpakuto Kyōka Suigetsu disappeared with each evolution.
Of course, it was impossible for Kyōka Suigetsu to disappear out of thin air, but rather that the power within it was taken back by Aizen.
After recovering to nearly eighty percent, Retsu Unohana slowly stood up, took a deep look at Luo Fu, and then knelt on one knee, saying, “Lord Luo Fu.”
Just as Retsu Unohana said, she lost to Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni in the beginning and became one of the elders who established Seireitei in the beginning.
And now, she lost to Luo Fu once again with an overwhelming defeat, then it was not impossible to become Luo Fu's subordinate.
Just as Luo Fu was preparing to take this former opponent under his command.
Suddenly, Luo Fu seemed to sense something. His eyes suddenly narrowed, and a faint killing intent burst out from his eyes.
Seeing this, Retsu Unohana couldn't help but say, “Lord Luo Fu. Has a new enemy invaded Hueco Mundo?”
Shaking his head, Luo Fu suddenly had an idea and said, “Let's go, Unohana. As a member of my command, you should also meet your former comrades.”
Just as Luo Fu's voice fell.
A spatial vortex instantly swallowed Luo Fu and Retsu Unohana.
