Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 207 Meow Meow's Talent

"This is... Rukongai?"

Two minutes ago, Renji Abarai, who had been kicked into the Eight Gates Transport Formation, found himself in the Dankai (Boundary Realm). He encountered a kotobuki (a type of Japanese abduction attack), and without pausing, Renji ran frantically towards the only source of light within the Dankai.

When he finally escaped the Dankai, a familiar aura immediately enveloped him, and Renji, who came from Rukongai, quickly recognized his location.

"They actually sent me back to Soul Society?!"

"What kind of ability is that, to easily open the passage between Hueco Mundo and Soul Society that even the Twelfth Division needs to set up in advance to open..."

"Wait, the ability to simulate others, plus the ability to travel between Soul Society and Hueco Mundo... Could it be that guy who sent the videotape accusing Captain Aizen and Hueco Mundo?!"

Renji sheathed the Zabimaru, carefully checked that there was no danger in the surrounding environment, and then began to worry about Byakuya: "Damn it, Captain and the others... that strange human girl and that cat are not easy to deal with either, we must call for reinforcements immediately!"

Just as he was figuring out the direction and about to run towards Seireitei, a familiar-looking pit was suddenly torn open two meters to his right.

He was slightly startled and on guard when he saw Byakuya emerge from within. His clothes, which had been blasted apart, had been restored by his spiritual pressure, and he showed no signs of his previous dishevelment. He still looked like a noble young master, but his expression was serious, even gloomy, than Renji had ever seen before.

Renji was stunned: "Captain! You too..."

Byakuya glanced at him indifferently, causing Renji Abarai's eyes to twitch and him to fall silent.

"Rukousoul Street?"

Kuchiki Byakuya glanced around, then used Shunpo to disappear. Renji was startled and quickly followed, saying, "Captain! Shouldn't we wait for Captain Zaraki and Vice-Captain Yachiru?!"

Uh, why did I assume that Captain Zaraki and Vice-Captain Yachiru would also be sent back?
……

Hueco Mundo.

Kenpachi Zaraki was still exchanging blows with Nyanko.

Its upper body was naked, revealing numerous claw marks of varying depths.

As the Great King said, without releasing the spiritual pressure seal, Kenpachi was no match for Nyanko-sensei who had borrowed Ulquiorra's spiritual pressure. On Kenpachi's side, the giant cat waving its claws had almost no marks on its body.

After Renji and Byakuya were sent back to Soul Society, Yachiru, who had been on the periphery of the battlefield and had not joined the fight, put her hands to her mouth and shouted, "Sword! Something terrible has happened!"

Her voice finally snapped Kenpachi out of his frenzied battle. He deflected the giant claws of the cat with a single sword stroke and flew backward, only then beginning to observe the 'battle' between Byakuya and Renji.

"Tch, were they all taken care of?"

Not sensing the spiritual pressure from the two, Kenpachi Zaraki snorted somewhat unhappily, his gaze returning to Nyanko, and said, "It's been a long time since I've had this much fun fighting, but it's a real shame that I don't seem to have time to play with you anymore, little cat."

He held a knife in his right hand, removed the eyepatch from his right eye with his left, and the small bells in his long hair that sensed spiritual energy swayed, causing a surge of spiritual pressure to rise into the sky.

It was stronger and more oppressive than Byakuya's spiritual pressure, distorting the surrounding air. Like a wild and ferocious beast, its aura emanated from Kenpachi and rushed straight towards Nyanko-sensei opposite him.

Kenpachi swings his sword, Nyanko swipes its claws, and slashes!
puff--

Blood suddenly gushed out like a spring, and Meow Meow's strong body, which was even stronger than Hollow's steel skin, lost its right forepaw in response to this slash!

Kenpachi leaped into the air, his wide trousers flapping wildly, and with another slash, he cut the neck of the slumped-over Meow Meow, severing its throat and suffocating it!
Boom——

The giant beast's body fell to the ground, sending dust and smoke flying.

Kenpachi, with his back to the smoke and dust, carrying his Zanpakuto on one shoulder, walked step by step toward the Great King.

"Although you don't really inspire me to cut you, I'll spare you two cuts since you took care of Kuchiki Byakuya!"

The king grunted, raised his slender finger, and pointed behind Kenpachi. At the same time, Kenpachi heard Yachiru's exclamation: "Little Kenpachi!"

"Huh?!" A huge shadow approached from behind. Kenpachi grunted and turned to block, but was struck by a giant cat's paw and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth as he was sent flying!
Looking at the giant orange cat, completely unharmed and even with an increased spiritual pressure, Kenpachi's eyes flashed with surprise for the first time before he burst into laughter and charged back: "Is that so?!"

"Meow Meow's divine rune talent is called 'Half a Life'."

The king said softly, “With each death, it loses half of its current lifespan, half of its rationality, half of its wisdom... but its strength will double.”

She was explaining to Guan Yi, who had reappeared behind her. Guan Yi understood for a moment and said with some surprise, "The current half, doesn't that mean... Meow Meow can never be killed? Oh, unless you kill it until it has only a very short lifespan left and lets it die of old age naturally?"

"Yes, it's very strong, isn't it?" The king said with unusual seriousness, "But if you die too many times, you will completely lose your rationality and wisdom, and become even less than an ordinary cat, no, even less than a paramecium. It would be better to die... I will not allow that to happen."

"Absolutely not!"

She spoke solemnly, turned her head, and looked at Guan Yi who had appeared in his original form. Only then did she smile again, tossing her hair in front of her forehead and saying, "Is this your true form this time? As expected of a genius boy who obtained a golden secret rune on his first attempt at conquering a secret realm, even I was startled when you disappeared just now."

"Not at all, not at all. Without your support, I couldn't have dealt with Kuchiki Byakuya." Guan Yi shook his head modestly.

The king curled his lip: "You're not being honest. Spending too much time with Kisuke Urahara makes you more cautious and suspicious. How about it, after two years of spending time with him, racking your brains to hide your true self, aren't you tired?"

That guy is like he's got a deathly paranoia. Even if you consider me his ally, even if you've helped him a lot, if he senses something amiss, he'll still turn on you without hesitation. It's so boring!

"It is indeed a bit tiring, but it's a temporary measure for learning Kido and other things. I've already gotten out of his sight in time." Guan Yi asked rhetorically, "Was it more comfortable following Aizen?"

"Hmm, you really do have a brain. When I first found out you went to Urahara's shop, I was a little worried that Urahara Kisuke would mess with you to death!"

The King laughed and said, "As for Aizen, well, among all the guys I've met over the years, he's quite charismatic. You haven't met him, so it's hard to describe him, but he's not simply a schemer; he's more like..."

Boom——

Amidst the distant explosions, Meow Meow was killed by Kenpachi once again, unleashing an even more powerful spiritual pressure, making the battle even more intense!
The king stopped talking abruptly and said, "Since you've already sent two away, you can send these two away for me too. Invincible, we can talk after you've sent them away."

"Don't call me Invincible, Governor."

"Invincible, invincible, invincible!"

"..."

……

When a grumpy Kenpachi carried Yachiru back to Rukongai, Byakuya Kuchiki and Renji Abarai had already arrived at the First Division barracks.

Faced with the Captain-Commander's question, Byakuya Kuchiki was at a loss for words for the first time as to how to answer the Captain-Commander about what they had encountered in Hueco Mundo.

To say that the enemy is impersonating you, and that Aizen, Gin Ichimaru, Kaname Tosen, Kisuke Urahara, and Yoruichi Shihouin have colluded with Urahara Kisuke and Yoruichi Shihouin to rule Hueco Mundo?

Does the other party deliberately send me and Renji back to report this to you?

After organizing his thoughts for a while, under the Captain-Commander's stern gaze, Byakuya Kuchiki finally managed to explain every single detail of their experiences after entering Hueco Mundo.

As expected of the captain, he remained calm and composed throughout, though his eyes revealed deep thought.

"The fact that humans with unknown abilities have also been involved is an unprecedentedly serious situation!"

After a long silence, the Captain-Commander said in a deep voice, "Satachi, summon all captains to the First Division!"

"Yes, Captain-Commander." Chojiro Sasaki bowed slightly. "Including..."

"Including Aizen Sousuke!" The Captain-Commander slammed his cane on the ground: "If he doesn't come, arrest him immediately for desertion... No leniency!"
