Breaking into the Seireitei Noble District (Part 1)
"Huh, what's going on?"
When King Kong arrived in the Bleach World, he saw Ichigo Kurosaki fighting a group of people. Yasutora Sado and Uryū Ishida were seriously injured and unconscious, Orihime Inoue was covered in blood but was still trying her best to heal the two.
Lying nearby were Ichigo Kurosaki's sister Karin and Yuzu, who were both unconscious, but they seemed to be alright.
"Fullbringer".
At a glance, he realized that all those fighting Ichigo Kurosaki Fullbringer.
The leader was a masked woman who was quite powerful; her ability was to vaporize her body, making her immune to normal physical attacks.
Moreover, he was very skilled in Kido, and he used Kido alone to put Ichigo Kurosaki on the defensive. However, Ichigo Kurosaki was clearly also injured.
"Orihime, what's going on?"
Seeing that Ichigo Kurosaki was still holding his own, Hawking flashed to Orihime Inoue's side and with a wave of his hand healed Orihime Inoue, as well as the seriously injured and unconscious Yasutora Sado and Uryū Ishida.
"Mr. Hawking, you've come! That's wonderful!"
Upon seeing Hawking, Orihime Inoue's face immediately lit up with surprise, and she quickly recounted the entire incident.
It turns out that early this morning, Ichigo Kurosaki sister, Yuzu, and Karin were suddenly attacked and kidnapped by unknown individuals.
In their attempt to rescue Yuzu and Karin, they fell into a trap set by the group. Chad Sado and Uryū Ishida were seriously injured, and Ichigo Kurosaki was also badly wounded, barely able to fight back.
Moreover, the opponent's target seemed to be Ichigo Kurosaki, because they did not prioritize attacking them who were being treated, but instead concentrated all their forces, showing an intention to kill Ichigo Kurosaki.
"By the way, they call themselves Xcution."
"Xcution?"
Hawking was taken aback. Xcution was a Fullbring organization founded by the former Substitute Soul Reaper, Ginjō Kūgo. It should have been disbanded after Ginjō Kūgo's death, so how come it has reappeared now?
Could it be to avenge Ginjō Kūgo?
Looking around, he realized that the Reishi Space surrounding them was indeed similar to the ability of the Fullbringer named Yukio.
"Forget it, we'll know what's going on once we catch the ringleader."
Instead of guessing here, we should capture the woman in charge, read her memories, and then we'll know whether she's Fullbringer seeking revenge for Ginjō Kūgo or has some other purpose.
In a flash, he appeared beside Hawking.
"Lightning Speed Fist!"
After a flash of golden light, all the Fullbringer except for the leading female leader fell down severely injured, and the Reishi Space surrounding them shattered with a deafening roar.
"Not good!"
When the female leader on the other side saw Hawking appear, her pupils contracted, and she instantly turned into mist, trying to escape.
"Interesting, you actually know me."
Hawking instantly appeared in front of the mist-like female leader, his eyes transforming into Mangekyō Sharingan.
"Tsukuyomi!"
While the mist can ignore physical attacks, it cannot withstand mental attacks.
The female leader's mind was directly pulled into the Tsukuyomi World by Hawking, and what awaited her was being stabbed repeatedly for a full seventy-two hours.
"A normal Fullbringer wouldn't know Kido, nor would they recognize me. It seems you have a secret."
Seventy-two hours in the Tsukuyomi World is but a fleeting moment outside.
In that instant, the female leader's atomization was no longer sustainable due to the mental torment she had suffered, and was directly and passively canceled.
Hawking reached out and grabbed the female leader by the neck, beginning to read the memories in her mind.
A moment later, a cold smile appeared on his lips:
"Tsunayashiro Tokinada, the head of the Four Great Noble Clans, since he is not honest, then he has no reason to live."
This female Fullbringer is named Aura Dōhadane. Her father was once a Fullbringer in the Xcution organization. After being killed by the Reaper, she became an orphan with no one to rely on.
He was later recruited as a subordinate by Tsunayashiro Tokinada, the head of the Tsunayashiro Family, one of the Four Great Noble Clans in the Reaper world.
After Ginjō Kūgo was killed by Ichigo Kurosaki, he was ordered by Tsunayashiro Tokinada to come to the Human World as Fullbringer and take over Xcution. He then used his own methods to develop and expand Xcution.
This time, they received orders from Tsunayashiro Tokinada to kill Ichigo Kurosaki at all costs, so that Hawking could never come to their world again.
"Hawking, thank goodness you came."
Seeing that Hawking had defeated all the enemies, Ichigo Kurosaki breathed a sigh of relief; he was actually close to his limit as well.
If Hawking had arrived any later, he might not have been able to hold on.
If the enemy hadn't been so despicable this time, and if it hadn't been a head-on confrontation, he could have wiped them all out by himself, even without Uryū Ishida's help.
"These people are after me. I'll handle it. You can go back and rest."
Hawking waved his hand to heal Ichigo Kurosaki's injuries, and Shunpo with Aura Dōhadane to the skies above the Soul Society's Seireitei.
"Noble District, Tsunayashiro Family, found."
Based on Aura Dōhadane's memories, he quickly located the position of the Tsunayashiro Family, the head of the Four Great Noble Clans.
A flash of golden light appeared at the gate of the Tsunayashiro Family.
"Who goes there? Lord Dao Yugen!"
The Reaper guarding the door was startled when he saw Hawking appear. Then, seeing the head of the family's guards Aura Dōhadane, being carried by Hawking, he immediately drew his Zanpakuto from his waist.
However, the moment they drew their swords, their bodies were sent flying like cannonballs.
For Reaper of this caliber, Hawking could easily defeat him by simply unleashing a slight burst of aura.
With a light and arrogant stride, he walked from the main gate toward the main house of the Tsunayashiro Family.
Today, he wanted to make the Reaper of Soul Society understand one thing: he, Hawking, was both a life-saving helper and a deadly King Yama. Don't try to provoke him, or even if you are the most noble Reaper, you will still die.
Tsunayashiro Tokinada wanted to completely kill Ichigo Kurosaki and Oblivion his soul, so that this being who could easily kill Yhwach could no longer enter this world.
Because of Hawking's existence, the plan of Tsunayashiro Tokinada to replace the Soul King and completely rule the Three Realms has been affected.
Hawking, of course, could not let Ichigo Kurosaki die like that. If his soul were Oblivion, he would no longer be able to Dreamwalking and come to this world again.
Not to mention, he hasn't absorbed the Soul King yet, nor has he fully acquired the Soul King's power.
Even though he has already obtained the Spirit King Power, and this world can no longer help him improve, he will not just give up on a world like that.
With each additional world, he gains another escape route; if things don't work out in the Marvel Universe in the future, these escape routes could come in handy.
Step by step forward, all the Reaper from the Tsunayashiro Family who dared to block his way were repelled by the powerful aura emanating from Hawking, and the commotion here quickly attracted the attention of all the Reaper in the entire Seireitei.
Because this is the Noble District, the place where the Four Great Noble Clans lived.
