Arisawa Tatsuki and Inoue Orihime were completely stunned.

After standing there in a daze for three or four seconds, Inoue Orihime hurriedly turned around to rescue her companions.

However, this move put her in danger.

The burly Arrancar laughed strangely and stretched out his giant hand to grab the top of Inoue Orihime's head.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed by, and Ichigo raised his sword and chopped without saying a word.

The blade of Zhan Yue left a deep bloody mark on the opponent's arm.

"This guy...his skin is so tough!" After succeeding, Ichigo frowned.

The Arrancar stared at the Shinigami in front of him and licked the corner of his mouth calmly, "Very good, finally a decent opponent has appeared."

He pointed at himself and said, "Listen carefully, my name is Yami, and the gloomy guy over there is Ulquiorra."

At this time, Ulquiorra whispered: "Ichigo Kurosaki, don't resist anymore, come with us."

Not an order, not a threat.

As if saying the simplest thing, Ulquiorra's dark green eyes looked at Ichigo calmly, as if looking at a lifeless corpse.

"These guys know me? No, they are coming for me!" In an instant, Ichigo figured out a lot of questions.

From the spiritual pressure before, he judged that these two enemies were not ordinary people. Considering Inoue Orihime, Arisawa Ryuki and the injured Chad Yasutora behind him, he took a deep breath and pushed Zangetsu forward with one hand.

"Swastika!"

As soon as he finished speaking, spiritual pressure surged into the sky.

The huge Zangetsu in Ichigo's hand transformed into the form of a slender black sword.

It’s Tiansuo Zhan Yue!

On the other side, Yammy and Ulquiorra seemed unconcerned.

Ya Mi grinned, raised his arm and punched down hard.

Ichigo saw this and blocked it with his knife.

Swish!

The next second, he instantly appeared behind Yaya Mi.

The burly Arrancar stared in disbelief at his arm, from which blood continued to drip.

——His arm was actually cut off by this half-baked Grim Reaper with one blow!

"Hey, you bastards, don't come to other people's homes without permission." Ichigo's face was half covered with a mask, and he stared at Ulquiorra and Yammy with cold eyes.

Ulquiorra's expression remained unchanged.

Yami, on the other hand, was furious. "Don't underestimate me, little brat!"

He swung his arm again, and his fist was full of power.

Ichigo swung his heavy sword hard, and the black crescent directly cut Yami's body into two pieces!

Yami: ...

This is strange, where does this guy get such strong power?

Ulquiorra also realized that Ichigo was not as weak as the intelligence said.

He drew his sword expressionlessly.

At this moment, Yoruichi arrived in time and kicked Urukiora back dozens of meters with a move of "Instant Open".

Ulquiorra pursed his lips. After observing the situation on the field, he concluded that it was not appropriate to continue fighting.

He casually collected the dying Yami, looked at everyone calmly, and opened a space rift behind him, "Kurosaki Ichigo, see you next time."

"Don't even think about escaping!" Ichigo wanted to chase him, but was hit by Ulquiorra's virtual flash.

Yoruichi lowered his voice and said, "Forget it, Ichigo. This is not the place to fight. Do you want to destroy the entire Karakura Town?"

Hearing this, Ichigo, who was a little angry, calmed down instantly, as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on him.

Yes, although he has the confidence to face two Arrancars alone, Karakura Town is not like Soul Society after all. If a fight breaks out here, many people will die...

Ulquiorra said nothing and took Yami back to Hueco Mundo.

The battle was over, Ichigo dissipated his Bankai form, and with a few flashes he came to the sides of Inoue Orihime and Chad Yasutora.

He was relieved to see that Chad Taitora was not seriously injured.

only……

There is still an lingering haze in my heart.

Blue dye!

Hueco Mundo!

Arrancar!

As long as the crisis is not resolved, Karakura Town will never have peace.

What a headache.

……

……

On the fifth day after the Arrancar left, John finally arrived.

Moreover, he did not come alone.

Instead, he led the entire third squad.

Compared to when they parted in Soul Society, Ichigo discovered that the attitudes of the Shinigami towards Mr. John had changed drastically.

Especially the vice captain Kirara Izuru

——That kind of adoring expression, Ichigo often saw on the faces of those fans.

"Hey, long time no see." Walking out of the portal, John greeted Ichigo with a smile.

Ichigo was very happy.

In fact, after leaving Soul Society, he and John had always kept in touch through letters, and in his heart, he regarded this senior brother who taught him how to use Bankai as his mentor and friend.

He wanted to exchange some pleasantries, but Kirara Izuru couldn't help but remind him, "Captain, this is not the place to talk. Let's go to the temporary base as soon as possible."

Jon nodded, "No problem."

Ichigo couldn't help but wonder, "A temporary base?"

Jon smiled and explained, "Because we are not sure about the exact time of Aizen's attack, all the captains of the Seireitei have agreed that the Third Division will temporarily put aside all work and fully support this place."

He blinked, "We are the support team."

"Great!" Ichigo was overjoyed.

Although he is not the type to pass his problems to others, he is not so arrogant as to refuse help from his peers.

There is a third team.

To be precise, with Mr. John around, even if Aizen comes, he can only leave in shame!

The so-called "temporary base" is actually a bar that was taken over.

Don’t ask, the answer is that Soul Society is not short of money.

For this trip to the human world, the captain, Genryusai Yamamoto, approved an astronomical amount of activity funds for John. That means, you can have fun and spend as much as you want, as long as you don't do anything that harms the Soul Society, these worldly possessions will be considered as money I spent to buy safety.

As the saying goes, money can make the world go round.

In just one night, Jon officially became the bar owner.

Here, he also met Madarame Ikkaku, Ayasegawa Yumichika, Matsumoto Rangiku, Abarai Renji, and the captain of the 10th Division, Hitsugaya Toushirou.

Among them, Matsumoto Rangiku seemed to be very familiar with the vice-captain of the third division, Kira Izuru. As soon as they met, they started to toast and chat about their respective recent situations.

"Kirara-chan, it's been a long time."

"Yes, we haven't had the chance to meet since the war."

"..."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to remind you of sad things."

"Don't say that. It's all Ichimaru Gin's fault. When we meet again, I will definitely ask him what's going on in his not-so-bright head!"

"...When the time comes, I'll be with you."

"Okay, let's not talk about that. How have you been lately? I hope Captain Jon didn't give you any hard time."

Speaking of 'Captain John', Kirara Izuru suddenly became interested.

"That gentleman is simply a model of strength. Under his leadership, the Third Division will surely reach a higher level!"

Kirara Izuru is an honest man and a very rare loyal subordinate. When Ichimaru Gin was the captain of the 3rd Division, he was willing to sacrifice his own life and obeyed his superior without a care.

And now, John has become the captain of the third squad, and he has brought this quality to the extreme.

Because he was so diligent, Jon even described him as a "textbook-like dedicated person", never benefiting himself, but always benefiting others...

cough cough.

Closer to home.

While the two vice-captains were having a friendly and cordial conversation, John was also talking to Hitsugaya Toshiro.

Although the white-haired boy doesn't look very old, his expression is always serious, which is in sharp contrast with Jon, who looks a bit unfocused.

Jon personally prepared a glass of chocolate sweetened milk for his colleague.

Hitsugaya Toushirou stared with his two big eyes, as if to say, 'Are you fucking kidding me'?

Jon shrugged, "Drinking more milk is good for your health. It will help you grow taller after supplementing calcium. You can do shameless things with the girl you like."

Hitsugaya Toushirou: ...

Although he was disgusted, he still drank the milk wholeheartedly.

Of course, it was impossible to admit defeat verbally, "Captain Jon, although I know you are very strong, almost as strong as the captain, but if you look at me with the eyes of a child, it will bother me."

"Got it, Xiaobai."

"No problem, Xiaobai."

The atmosphere was silent for a moment.

Hitsugaya Toushirou pinched his brows helplessly, "Forget it, let's talk business. I believe you have seen the information about the two Arrancars.

Although I did not participate in the last battle, based on Shihouin Yoruichi's narration, I can judge that the strength of those two Arrancars is at least not inferior to that of the vice-captain.

It is still unknown how many such Arrancar there are in Hueco Mundo. Overall, we may be under great pressure in the future."

Jon held a glass of brandy in his hand, took a sip, and then said: "Actually, my opinion is that before Aizen invades Karakura Town, we should attack Hueco Mundo first. In this way, we can avoid the impact on the real world."

Attack Hueco Mundo?

It really sounds like a good proposal.

But Hitsugaya Toshiro also knew that any combat action would not be easy to implement.

Seeking defeat before seeking victory.

Putting aside other things, if they were to fail and be trapped in the Hueco Mundo and unable to return, it would be a loss for one party and a loss for the other, which would not be good news for either Soul Society or the human world.

As if he had guessed what Hitsugaya Toushirou was thinking, Jon smiled and said, "It is because you have always held on to this idea that Aizen has been quietly lying in wait for so many years. Do you think he will be short of troops if he dares to send the Arrancar to the human world to bully others?"

In my opinion, I should just give him a good beating so that he will remember this lesson."

That being said... there is some truth to it.

However, Hitsugaya Toushirou still shook his head and said, "Captain Yamamoto makes the decision, and you and I just need to follow his orders."

Their order was to hold on to Karakura Town and become the first line of defense when Aizen invaded the 'heavy spiritual land'.

Just talking.

Suddenly, a short-haired man with a fake smile pushed open the door of the bar, "Excuse me, is this the territory of the God of Death?"

Seeing who the person was, Hitsugaya Toshiro immediately pinched his brows and introduced him to John, "That guy is the former captain of the 5th Division, Hirako Mako. After the incident with Aizen, the captain-general, under the persuasion of Shifengyuan Yoruichi, redressed the unjust case that happened a hundred years ago, but this guy doesn't seem to want to return to Soul Society at all, and has always stayed here..."
