Strength-Type Arrancar

"We're incredibly lucky to have someone personally offer us food," one of the heads of Aaroniero said, its voice smacking as it licked. "The taste of Bleach ... it's been so long since I've tasted it."

Rukia expressionless, revealing neither anger nor joy.

She must be furious, right? The aura of Bleach that Number 9 mentioned should most likely be the spiritual pressure of Vice-Captain Shiba.

But she should be even happier, because she recognized that the Hollow in front of her was not the one that killed Vice-Captain Shiba. That Hollow must have been devoured by him, and it was because of this that she had the opportunity to see Vice-Captain Shiba's Reishi again.

Rukia took a deep breath. Now was not the time to let her emotions run wild. She would wait until she got back the Reishi of Vice-Captain Shiba.

"Then, Bleach, please come with us." Aaroniero himself feared sunlight, and he would only remove his mask when he returned to his palace, the place where he had prepared his meals.

Uryū followed silently behind Rukia. Aaroniero merely glanced at them, not paying them any mind; to him, having an extra supply of food was never a bad thing.

"Then, Sawada, please hand over this kimono to me."

Ashido gripped the knife hilt; as a new member, he was eager to demonstrate his value to the team.

The muscular Hollow in front of him looked somewhat similar to the Hollow that pulled the cart; both were shattered Visored. However, Ashido could still sense that the Hollow's spiritual pressure was only at the level of Adjuchas.

That's fine. Adjuchas has already killed countless ones. Even if this number 10 is stronger, he's still just Adjuchas.

"Mr. Ashido, I'll take on the 10th Espada. I'll trouble you to protect the shopkeeper." Tsuna glanced at Yammy and decided to do it himself.

Ashido had no objection, but Urahara Kisuke gave Tsuna a strange look. "Do you have any other plans?"

"Hmm." Tsuna admitted directly, "I plan to spare his life and let him try his luck at the Miracle."

Ashido, of course, couldn't understand Tsuna and Urahara's coded language. Urahara's eyes, however, flashed with a sharp light. He immediately associated the word "The Miracle" with the Quincy's Saint Letters. According to Tsuna, its owner was a very troublesome guy.

"Can he do it?" Urahara with some curiosity. Could an Arrancar to the end of the Espada, really possibly have a chance against the Royal Guard?

"Dad's right, we need to use magic to fight magic, and to fight a big guy, we need a big guy!"

Tsuna uttered words that Urahara couldn't understand, but Urahara was already used to it. He adjusted his hat brim and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."

It was precisely because he wanted to spare Yammy's life that Tsuna didn't let Ashido deal with Yammy.

He didn't know Ashido's exact strength, only that Ashido usually defeated Adjuchas in the Forest of the Hollows with a single strike.

If Ashido strong and defeats Yammy in one strike, Tsuna won't be able to watch the big guys fight each other. If Ashido isn't strong enough, Tsuna will have to lend a hand.

After much deliberation, Tsuna decided that it would be safer for him to take action himself. In any case, he had his own methods for dealing with Yammy, a man of strong will and brains. He would simply confront him head-on and use the power of a mountain to forcefully suppress this Arrancar who was driven by anger.

"Seriously, what are you all babbling about? Just shut up!" Yammy picked at his ear impatiently, took a sudden step forward, and threw a punch at Tsuna and the others.

With a thud, Yammy realized that his fist hadn't made any progress. What was suppressing his fist was Tsuna's relatively small hand, and his arm was flashing with an inexplicable blue light.

"In that case, we'll give the space to you, Tsuna. Mr. Ashido, let's hold off the Arrancar who're causing trouble for a bit." Urahara Kisuke walked away from Tsuna.

The three Espada rushed out under Tsuna's spiritual pressure. Now that Tsuna has withdrawn his pressure, the other subordinates will definitely come out to see what's going on.

Urahara and Ashido's goal is to stop these Arrancar, which is no easy task, no less difficult than anyone else taking on the Espada one-on-one.

Seeing that some of his prey was about to escape, Yammy tried to stop them, but he found that he couldn't retract his fist.

When Yammy focused his attention on his fist, he discovered that it had been enveloped by a ball of yellowish-brown flame. The guy called Tsuna had even grabbed two of his fingers, using sheer force to restrict his movements.

"How boring. I'll go take care of the task you entrusted to me."

Kurotsuchi Mayuri walked toward the side Las Noches with a bored expression. He had absolutely no interest in fighting. The reason he was acting alone was because he sensed a strange gaze coming from the direction of the side hall.

That was the researcher's intuition, the aura of a kindred spirit. Combined with the information about Hueco Mundo that Urahara had given him, it wasn't hard to guess that the owner of that gaze was Kurotsuchi Mayuri's target for this trip.

With the idea of resolving the matter as soon as possible and returning to Soul Society, Kurotsuchi Mayuri fully utilized his initiative and decided to complete his mission first.

As for the deal between Tsuna and the others and Aizen, Kurotsuchi Mayuri lost all interest after learning that the deal involved the Seireitei.

Whatever Wang Jian manufactures, Kurotsuchi Mayuri could find a way with a little more time, but that's not his research direction. Anyway, Yamamoto will take care of things if the Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto falls; he has no interest in doing any forbidden experiments by himself. Life in the Maggots' Nest is not pleasant.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Captain Kurotsuchi. You can go back first when you're done." Tsuna Kurotsuchi Mayuri's meaning and made a point of saying goodbye.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri did not reply. Only by fulfilling the Seireitei's requirements within the appropriate rules could he better conduct his research. This was Kurotsuchi Mayuri's survival strategy after taking over the Squad 12.

Seeing that Urahara Kisuke and Kurotsuchi Mayuri were ignoring his actions, Yammy's face flushed red with anger. He opened his mouth and unleashed a Cero at Tsuna, who was in his Tsuna.

Yammy withdrew his hand; the Cero was still effective, but why did it seem like the effect was limited?

His Cero didn't explode violently; instead, it enveloped Tsuna like a red cocoon, spraying for a long time before Yammy withdrew. He could clearly feel that the guy inside his Cero was completely unharmed.

As the red light faded, Tsuna waved his hand dismissively, as if he had inhaled secondhand smoke. The reason he released Yammy was because the feeling of Cero made him feel like someone had spat in his face.

That's why Tsuna released Yammy and covered his face with his hands, not wanting to be spat on. He was using the power of the Blut Vene all over his body, so Yammy's Cero couldn't hurt him at all.

"Is this all the power you have?" Tsuna's tone carried a hint of disappointment. Yammy, without his Resurrección, truly deserved his 10th ranking.

"Are you kidding me!"

Yammy's fists condensed into red spheres of spiritual pressure, which were formed from the Bala of Cero, and their speed was 20 times that of Cero!

With a punch, the Bala hurtled towards Tsuna at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow, and with a loud bang, a violent explosion occurred in front of Tsuna.

Tsuna casually swept away the dust and stepped out. In front of him floated several pieces of pebbles—these were the stones.

"Your speed is good, but your attack patterns are too easy to predict," Tsuna commented.

Cero at 20x speed is indeed very fast, but what hinders this move is Yammy himself. If it were Arrancar with a more sinister personality, this move wouldn't be so straightforward.

Yammy's eyes were slightly red, his anger rising even higher. He kept throwing Bala at Tsuna with both fists, just to prove that his moves were absolutely effective.

However, this time Yammy's Bala didn't even explode. Every red bullet was intercepted by several pieces of rubble just before it reached Tsuna, without even making a splash.

This is a technique that Tsuna improved upon by imitating the Anti-Demon Killing and Urahara's Sudden Strike Red Princess. In an instant, he adjusts his spiritual pressure to match the opponent's attack, thereby negating the enemy's move.

These types of techniques usually require analyzing the opponent's spiritual pressure beforehand, and then adjusting one's own spiritual pressure accordingly.

When using other attributes, Tsuna often only has time to analyze the spiritual pressure of the opponent's attack before the attack arrives, leaving no time to adjust.

Using the Mountain Flame is different. The characteristic of the Mountain Flame is its explosiveness, which allows Tsuna to unleash the desired spiritual pressure intensity in a very short time.

"This is my first time using this power, so I'm still a bit clumsy."

Tsuna's somewhat dissatisfied self-evaluation sounded so grating to Yammy's ears, as if Tsuna could defeat him with a random stone, and his anger surged once again.

Yammy's face turned ashen red. He could no longer tolerate the sarcasm in Tsuna's words. He drew his Zanpakuto and shouted angrily.

"Unleash your fury, Enraged Beast!"

The power sealed within Zanpakuto's Yammy returned to his body, causing his form to expand rapidly. Four sharp horns appeared on his head, and his simple shirt was torn apart, revealing the number 10 on his shoulder.

In addition to his body swelling, Yammy's tailbone also began to extend and expand, turning into a huge tail. On the tail, Yammy also grew six new pairs of lower limbs, just like a centipede with a human body.

Yammy grew to be as tall as a mountain, and his destructive power increased exponentially with his size. At this moment, Tsuna was as insignificant as an ant in his eyes.

The number 10 mark on his shoulder changed the moment he released his Resurrección; the number 1 disappeared, and Yammy is now the 0th Espada!

No wonder Yammy looked down on Tsuna and the others when he first came out. Compared to his towering figure, a few ants were just a matter of throwing a couple more punches at him.

Yammy, having completed his Resurrección, is an absolute power-type Arrancar, capable of dealing with most Espada with just his physical strength.
