Starting as a pirate, he rose to become the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society.

Chapter 424 The Undying King, Arturo Pratidoo!

"Weak and feeble," Arturo Pratidó coldly mocked, looking at the corpse before him.

Then the spirits that made up Tianwu Ross's corpse began to rapidly disintegrate, turning into spirit particles, which were forcibly absorbed into Arturo Pratidoo's body.

This is a very strange scene. Normally, a captain who can activate Bankai has already reached a certain threshold of spiritual pressure. Even if he dies, his body cannot dissipate like an ordinary spirit. He must undergo a "team funeral" to send the spirit into hell.

However, Arturo Pratidó was able to forcibly absorb the corpse directly!

Meanwhile, inside the 12th Division's Inspection Office.

One of the team members, who was idly observing the changes in spiritual pressure within Seireitei, suddenly changed his expression and immediately pressed the alarm button.

He then picked up the communicator and shouted nervously, "Alarm! A Hollow's spiritual pressure has appeared in the area where Central Chamber 46 is located!"

Before he could finish speaking, he seemed to notice something else, and exclaimed in horror, "The spiritual pressure of the Ninth Division Captain, Tenbu Ross, has completely dissipated; we suspect he may have been murdered!"

When Kiryuki Hikifune, who was cooking in the barracks, heard the alarm, he was stunned.

What? The captain of the Ninth Division is dead?

This alarm wasn't just sent to him; the Twelfth Division's communications could directly reach all the divisions' barracks.

Even Kyoraku Shunsui, who had been drinking under the cherry blossom tree, paused for a moment, then stood up abruptly and called out, "Lisa-chan, gather the team! I'm heading to Central Room 46!"

Inside the headquarters, Yamamoto Genryusai emerged with a grim expression, sword drawn, while Sasakibe Chojiro was already waiting at the door.

"Lord Genryusai," Sasakibe no Nakajiro was about to say something when Yamamoto Genryusai interrupted him, saying, "No need for further words. Go to the Sixth Division immediately and have Captain Kuchiki lead the Sixth Division to seal off the noble district, focusing on the Tsuna Yayo family. If there is any resistance, suppress them on the spot!"

"Yes!" Chojiro Sasaki immediately replied.

Inside the Shinigami Academy, in the flower arrangement room, Shutara Senjumaru and Unohana Yachiru are engaged in a duel.

Perhaps because she has many hands, Shutara Senjumaru's flower arranging speed is much faster than Unohana Yachiru's, and she already has several very beautiful works in front of her.

But in front of Unohana Yachiru, there was only one work, which wasn't even finished yet.

"You lost, Unohana." Shutara Senjumaru said smugly as he finished his last work, looking at Unohana Yachiru with an air of arrogance.

"You've tarnished the art of flower arranging, Professor Shutara," said Unohana Yachiru, completely oblivious to the pace, as she leisurely adjusted the bouquet.

Just as Shutaro Senjumaru was about to say something more, a Shinigami suddenly rushed into the room and said in a very helpless tone, "Captain Shutaro, please don't keep throwing away the Hell Butterflies. I almost couldn't find you."

Shutara Senjumaru glanced at the guy and said, "Renzan, what's up?"

Renzan Maou, the vice-captain of the 10th Division, and also Shutara Senjumaru's right-hand man.

"The 12th Division has issued an alert that a Hollow-level spiritual pressure has appeared in the area where the Central 46 Chambers are located. At the same time, the spiritual pressure monitoring of Captain Tenbu Ross of the 9th Division has completely dissipated, and there has been no report that he was leaving Soul Society. Therefore, the 12th Division deduces that Captain Tenbu Ross is very likely to have been killed!" Renyama Maou said quickly.

"Oh? Is that so?" Shutara Senjumaru said calmly, "That good-for-nothing is dead? That doesn't surprise me at all."

However, despite saying these things, Shutara Senjumaru's expression turned serious. He stopped caring about flower arranging and stood up, saying, "Come with me to the Central 46 Chambers."

Unohana Yachiru, however, seemed completely oblivious to the news and continued leisurely arranging flowers.

Shutara Senjumaru didn't seem inclined to say anything to Unohana Yachiru and quickly left the flower arrangement room.

The moment the alarm sounded, Central Room 46 had already evacuated through the secret security passage. And clearly, Arturo Pratidó had no intention of arguing with these guys, nor did he even give chase.

Instead, they walked directly out of the underground prison and came to the Seireitei.

He felt the long-lost light, looked at the azure sky of Seireitei, and a flash of disgust crossed his eyes as he said, "Still so unpleasant."

He prefers Hueco Mundo's "black" to Seireitei's "blue".

"So it's you? The one who dares to invade the Seireitei, the Hollow!!"

A very bold voice entered Arturo Pratido's ears, and before he could even look in the direction of the voice, he felt a sharp pain all over his body. Starting from his shoulder and running down to his waist, a slash cut him in two diagonally.

"So easily defeated?" the boastful voice said nonchalantly.

At this moment, the figure was standing behind Arturo's corpse, holding a Zanpakuto, the blade still stained with blood.

He was the former vice-captain of the 11th Division, the current captain of the 11th Division, and the second Kenpachi, Genryu Kenpachi.

As the first captain to arrive, he didn't hesitate to attack upon spotting Arturo Pratidó, and the battle seemed to end with a single strike.

However, before he could have any more questions about it, alarm bells suddenly went off in his mind, and he quickly retreated, using his Instant Step to create a great distance in an instant.

Then, he saw that the ground where he had just been standing had been sliced ​​open by a spiritual pressure slash.

The corpse, which had just been sliced ​​in two, had somehow completely healed. Arturo Pratidó stood there, long sword in hand, and said calmly, "Not bad, a bit stronger than that weakling from before."

Yan Liujian's expression turned serious as he silently weighed the situation: "Super-fast regeneration? No, no, no, this is too fast!"

But before the thought could even settle in his mind, the figure in his sight suddenly vanished.

Although he was always looked down upon by Hana, Kenpachi Genryu was still very strong and had a wealth of combat experience. The moment his target was lost, his Zanpakuto was unleashed.

"Roar, towering mountains!"

A violent spiritual pressure erupted from Kenpachi Yanliu. The Zanpakuto in his hand did not change much, only becoming slightly wider, and then several continuous mountain peak patterns appeared on the blade.

He raised his hand and slashed forward, and sure enough, the next second, Arturo's slash arrived.

The moment the two swords clashed, Yanliu Kenpachi's sword strike became even more ferocious, causing Arturo's arm to sink.

"The strength of a mountain," Yan Liujianba sneered. "How many mountains can your arm strength lift?"

Arturo didn't speak, but exerted force again. The two fought and changed positions, exchanging blows dozens of times in no time.

With each clash, one could feel that Yan Liujianba's Zanpakuto had become heavier and more imposing. At the same time, more than ten mountains had lit up on the mountain patterns on his blade.

The sheer force of the wind generated by a single swing of the blade was enough to completely destroy the surrounding buildings, demonstrating the ferocity of the strike.

However, Yan Liujianba's expression became increasingly solemn. This strange Hollow seemed to adapt very quickly to no matter how strong the mountain force he exerted. In fact, it seemed that he was gradually making his body more active.

It's as if I haven't moved in a long time, and my body has become a bit old!

And as he becomes more active, his speed, strength, and spiritual pressure all seem to be rapidly increasing!

Thinking of this, a ruthless glint flashed in Yan Liujianba's eyes. He parried Arturo's sword with a single strike, slid backward, and roared, "Bankai: Ten Thousand Mountains!"

"That's enough." Arturo's figure suddenly appeared in front of Kenpachi Yanliu at a speed far exceeding that of before. Before Kenpachi Yanliu could fully unleash his Bankai, Arturo raised his hand and swung his sword.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Yan Liujianpa reacted very quickly, swinging his Zanpakuto forward to try and block, but the next second, the blade was severed, and blood bloomed in the air.

"What's going on?" Yan Liujianba was filled with confusion and surprise, while feeling the spiritual pressure in his body rapidly dissipating.

At this moment, a huge wound was cut open in his chest, his ribs were cleanly cut, his lungs were split in two, and two-thirds of his heart was also cut away. Without a doubt, it was a fatal wound!

Before he could be pulled from the air by the slash, Arturo grabbed him by the neck and began to forcibly absorb Kenpachi Yanru's spiritual pressure.

As he absorbed this energy, Arturo's aura began to rise steadily.

"Hado Chapter 78: Slashing Wheel!!!"

A streak of arcing light flew from the far distance, its target Arturo.

The person who made the move was none other than the captain of the 8th Division, Kyoraku Shunsui.

Without any intention of dodging, Arturo raised his other hand, met the high-level Breaking Dao marked seventy-eight, and with a backhand squeeze, crushed the Zanhua Wheel on the spot, causing it to explode into the air.

But the next second, he felt a pain in his chest and saw Kyoraku Shunsui's figure appear in the shadow behind him, and his Zanpakuto had already pierced Arturo's chest.

Clearly, Kyoraku Shunsui immediately unleashed his Shikai and used Zankarin to draw Arturo's attention while simultaneously activating Kageki.

As he pierced the chest of the Hollow before him with a single slash, Kyoraku Shunsui struck Arturo's arm with a backhand, intending to rescue Kenpachi Genryu.

But before he could succeed, Yamamoto Genryusai's voice suddenly reached his ears: "Get out of there quickly!"

Kyoraku Shunsui had complete trust in Yamamoto Genryusai. Startled, he abandoned all thoughts of rescuing Genryu Kenpachi and used his Shunpo to try and escape.

But the next second, a terrifying Cero exploded, completely engulfing the three of them.

The massive building housing the Central 46th Chamber was instantly reduced to ashes, and the terrifying shockwave from the spiritual pressure explosion crushed more than ten surrounding blocks into ruins.

Covered in soot and smoke, Kyoraku Shunsui landed in the rubble in a disheveled state, grimacing and saying, "What kind of madman is this?!"

Would he self-destruct at the slightest provocation?

It was visibly clear that Kyoraku Shunsui's fancy haori was tattered, his hair was disheveled and smelled burnt, and he had large areas of burns on his face and arms.

Yan Liujianba was completely annihilated, but the spiritual particles formed from his corpse permeated the air and quickly flowed back in a certain direction.

Meanwhile, an arm that had broken off and fallen to the ground was regenerating at an extremely fast speed.

"torch!"

Yamamoto Genryusai had already arrived at the battlefield. Without saying a word, his Zanpakuto burst into flames, engulfing the severed arm and intending to burn it completely.

Unfortunately, Arturo's figure slowly emerged from the flames.

Yamamoto Genryusai's flames did ignite his body, but his terrifying regeneration speed allowed him to ignore the burning sensation.

"The Undying King Arturo Pratidoo," Yamamoto Genryusai said, looking at the figure with a gloomy expression.

"Yamamoto Shigekuni." Arturo's eyes, which had remained largely expressionless, finally showed a hint of excitement as he said, "You're still alive, that's wonderful."

Yamamoto Genryusai is not a perfect Captain-Commander. In fact, he has his own shortcomings. For example, he sometimes neglects to consider the big picture when it comes to details, thus overlooking certain potential dangers.

Just like in the original story, he overlooked the report by the then 10th Division Captain Isshin Shiba about the appearance of a modified Hollow in the human world, and he also overlooked the Quincy problem reported by Mayuri Kurotsuchi, which led to his failure to discover Aizen Sousuke's conspiracy and Yhwach's resurrection in time.

Just like this time, he had clearly noticed the problem with the Tsunayo family, but he never expected that the Tsunayo family would be so depraved as to dare to release the terrifying being suppressed in the Lower Abyss of the Central Forty-Six Chambers!

Clearly, the Tsunayo family has gone so far as to disregard the lives of the Central 46 Chambers, something Yamamoto Genryusai had not anticipated.

This has led to the current intractable situation!
