I'm in Bleach, starting with Unlimited Blade Works.

A young man in a black overcoat scratched his head; a black straight sword was tucked into his waistband.

This is Kirito from Sword Art Online: Alicization.

Chapter 114 Exposed

Seeing everyone looking at him, Kirito, or rather, Kirito scratched his head: "What's wrong? Is it strange that I went?"

"No, that's not right. Lord Erin said that only captain-level Zanpakuto can participate. Aren't you a Zanpakuto that's been on the mountainside all this time? You can come out after the five captain-level Zanpakuto are selected."

The one who uttered these words was a Zanpakuto of the highest rank, located below the mountainside.

Well, to explain why he's so familiar with Kirito, we have to mention the beautiful Zanpakuto near Kirito. Look at the distance; they're practically touching Kirito.

"Um, well, I can barely be considered a captain-level Zanpakuto, and I can still use the Bankai of the Zanpakuto in my hand."

"Although, in my memory it's called memory liberation..."

Upon seeing Kirito's appearance, the Zanpakuto of the Seat Rank distorted its expression.

"Heh, you really deserve to die..."

Erin nodded to Kirito: "Okay, count you in, then there are three of us now."

Kiritani Kazuto is alright, I guess.

Anyway, I don't use it often, so it's good to let Kirito go out for some fresh air.

To prevent this guy from spending all his time with the other Zanpakuto and corrupting the atmosphere of Unlimited Blade Works.

Erin was wondering if he should separate the weapons, such as the Blinking Light, Jonvis, Bina, and Thoringen's Hammer.

So, does the weapon owner's memory also affect the weapon's own preferences?

However, Erin remembered that when the Golden Osmanthus Sword was still there, Kirito Kazuto was stuck in the top of the sword mound along with the Golden Osmanthus Sword.

Unexpectedly, after Alice volunteered to protect Haruko, Kirito actually went to the middle level of Kengoku.

Sure enough, men, no, male swordsmen are all big bastards. Jin Gui's sword has been gone for many years, and in the night sky, it has hooked up with several weapons in his memory.

"If there's a battle, then count me in."

A man in armor came out, accompanied by a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl with black hair, who was holding a lollipop in her hand.

"I'll join too, since Lord Erin doesn't need my abilities anyway."

"Oh? Cong Yunya, and the Eight Houses of the Dead's March?"

"Alright, then it'll be the five of you."

Roger and Shanks are the strongest of the five. According to Erin's estimate, their strength is about the same as Zaraki's at present.

Although Kirito is a bit weaker, he can still hold off Kensei Muguruma.

Even if Kirito were to fight to the death and summon Blue Rose, Kensei Muguruma would be doomed under the dual-wielding style.

Unfortunately, Erin's understanding of "water" and "ice" is not strong enough yet. If she were to create the Blue Rose now, it would greatly reduce its strength and potential, which is not worthwhile.

However, thinking of Kirito's famous lines, "When I draw my second sword, no one can stand before me" or "When I draw my second sword, the whole world will tremble," Erin stretched out her right hand.

"Projection, start-"

A light blue longsword was crafted by Erin on the spot.

This weapon is also one of the weapons used by Kirito Kazuto—the Dark Chaser.

It was forged from the excrement of the ice dragon after it ate the crystal, and it possesses a certain amount of ice power.

"Night Sky, take this sword with you. It will give you an extra layer of protection."

"Yes, thank you, Lord Erin."

With a joyful expression, Ye Tian received the Dark Chaser. With two swords, his strength had increased at least fivefold.

After all, many powerful special moves require "dual-wielding" as a prerequisite for skill execution.

"in addition--"

After glancing at Setsuna no Takemaru and Kurome, Erin said, "Setsuna no Takemaru, Kurome, your abilities both allow you to control the creatures you kill."

"In that case, I'll find a way to send you to Hueco Mundo later."

"Roger, Shanks, and Kirito, the three of you will assist Setsuna Takemaru and Kurome in hunting down powerful Hollows in Hueco Mundo during this time, thereby increasing their strength."

"Setsuna no Mikoto, in the next few days, you must be able to control a thousand voids..."

"Black Eyes, with the assistance of those three, I also hope that the eight puppets you can control will at least be Adjuchas, understand?"

Unlike Setsuna no Takemaru, Setsuna no Takemaru has no restrictions on the dead he controls; anyone killed by Setsuna no Takemaru will be controlled by him.

However, these puppets controlled by Setsuna no Takemaru will lose most of their power from when they were alive.

Unlike Kuroko, she can only control eight.

However, the corpses controlled by the black pupils can retain more than 90% of their strength from when they were alive.

Both involve controlling puppets, but Setsuna no Takemaru emphasizes quantity, while Kurome emphasizes quality.

One is a human wave tactic, the other is an elite tactic; it remains to be seen which is stronger.

Since being created by Erin, neither of them has had much opportunity to kill. Naturally, neither Setsuna Takemaru nor Kurome currently has any puppets.

"Yes, Lord Erin."

"With Setsuna no Takemaru and Kurome, there's no need to send a Zanpakuto of the vice-captain level."

"Get ready, I'll send you to Hueco Mundo tonight."

"This is the transfer route for escorting the royal seal this time. Write it down. Once you're ready, just find a spot to ambush and seize it."

"Yes, Lord Erin."

That night, Erin secretly slipped out of the Kuchiki family's residence and went to Kisuke Urahara's underground base. He borrowed Urahara's portal and sent Roger, Shanks, Yozora, Setsuna Takemaru, and Kurome to Hueco Mundo...

As for whether Urahara knew about it after I used it, who cares? Anyway, I wasn't caught red-handed, so I can just deny it.

Sigh, I really miss Urahara from before, who would never say no to me...

……

On this day, Erin and Haruko were playing tennis in the yard.

"Haha, Haruko, watch my giant bear strike back."

Haruko's high lob was returned by Erin, but the next moment, Haruko gripped her tennis racket with both hands and moved to the net to intercept.

"Watch my Haruko smash!"

"Oh!"

This powerful smash caused the tennis ball to land quickly and then fly rapidly off the court.

"Ayrin's Domain!"

However, before the tennis ball could even fly off the court, it was pulled back to Erin by the force of its rotation, and Erin easily returned the ball.

More than a decade after being thoroughly humiliated by Haruko in the game of Go, Erin, after much painful reflection, decided to give up his Go addiction to Haruko.

Thus, a once-popular sport from Erin's mind came to life in Erin's hands.

tennis!

To take care of Haruko, Erin and Haruko made a pact that during their competition, Erin's speed and strength could not exceed Haruko's.

The contest between the two sides was purely a test of skill.

Having learned from her experience in Go, Erin initially only played basic tennis matches with Haruko.

Later on, Erin used all sorts of fancy techniques, such as topspin serves, triple returns, special shots, zero-style slices, and even the "domain" (a specific area of ​​influence).

Well, in a way, the rackets used by the students in The Prince of Tennis can also be considered weapons.

Although the combat level in that world was low, those advanced tennis skills were still considered powerful abilities in the world of Bleach.

In particular, even Ailin gained a lot from the realms of selflessness and other dimensions.

A hell butterfly slowly flew into the courtyard. When Erin saw it, as Haruko returned the ball, she struck a pose, then suddenly slashed her tennis racket downwards at the ball—

"Zero Slice!"

Seeing Erin's posture, Haruko quickly went online, trying to hit the tennis ball back before it hit the ground, but it was too late.

"Hehehehe..."

After the tennis ball landed on the ground, it did not bounce. Instead, it spun around a few times before rolling backward toward the center.

"6 to 2, I won, Haruko."

After smiling and raising an eyebrow at Haruko, Erin reached out and let the Hell Butterfly land on his index finger to read the information within it.

"Oh? It's finally starting?"

……

After saying goodbye to Haruko, Erin went to the Ninth Division to meet up with Kensei Muguruma. The two of them led a group of Shinigami from the Ninth Division and quietly left Seireitei.

Guided by the Hell Butterfly, the group and the noble's entourage headed to the location where the "Royal Seal" had been hidden for the last century.

It must be said that these nobles are quite adept at deceiving people.

It was clearly just a seal imbued with the power of the Spirit King, capable of controlling spatial power within a certain range. However, after it was given the title of a divine artifact wielded by the "royal family," the nobles treated the relocation of the "royal seal" with an incredibly solemn and elaborate ceremony.

They even thoughtfully prepared a magnificent and luxurious sedan chair for the "royal seal," which was carried by sixteen attendants to the next hiding place of the royal seal.

Judging from this, it seems that the thing in the sedan chair is not a "royal seal", but a real "royal family member"?

This extravagant mode of transportation is completely different from the "secret transfer" requested by Captain-Commander Yamamoto.

Rather, what Captain-Commander Yamamoto hoped for was that the King's Seal could be safely delivered to the next hiding place, thus maintaining the stability of the Soul Society.

These nobles, on the other hand, wanted to take this opportunity to promote their "royal family" and demonstrate their power and status.

Given the current pace of progress and the grand scale of the operation, the royal seal has not been stolen even once in thousands of years. This is probably the reason why the nobles are so slow to act.

"Sixth vehicle captain, you are a senior and more experienced than me. What do you suggest we do for this escort mission?"

Kensei Muguruma was clearly escorting the "Royal Seal" for the first time, and he was quite speechless at the actions of these noble honor guards.
