The Nominal Ancestor
"Is this the kind of guy I'm facing?" Kenpachi Zaraki looked at the man opposite him, whose face was extremely sour and who had no interest in fighting whatsoever.
"Kenpachi, haven't we seen that ugly thing before?" A pink-haired brat popped out from Kenpachi Zaraki's shoulder. Since mastering Beyond Bankai, Yachiru Kusajishi has officially returned to her position Vice-Captain of the Squad 11.
"I don't know, maybe he was just some trash I casually killed sometime ago?" Kenpachi Zaraki gave up after a moment's thought; someone he killed with a single blow wasn't worth remembering.
"Kenpachi Zaraki! You despicable bastard!"
The person who was constantly mocked by Kenpachi Zaraki and Yachiru Kusajishi was also wearing a Captain's Haori, but he was not the first captain of the Squad 11 Division, but the tenth Kenpachi, the predecessor who was killed by Kenpachi Zaraki, Onigawara Kenpachi.
The fact that Onigawara Kenpachi was able to become the captain means that he had also learned the completeness of the spirit pressure at that time, and his spiritual pressure had just passed the line of natural decomposition. In addition, he had committed a lot of evil deeds in his life, so he was sent to Hell.
This time, Onigawara Kenpachi stood in front of Kenpachi Zaraki to avenge the arrow that struck him in his previous life. Zaraki and Yachiru are not only annoying in terms of strength, but their mouths are also disgusting!
Onigawara Kenpachi could no longer bear it and Kenpachi Zaraki.
"Bind her, Red Princess!"
A black and red mesh structure blocked a fat figure. This time, Urahara Kisuke did not act as a roaming support, but took the initiative to penetrate deep into the battlefield and block the first captain of the Squad 12, Zenteiji Arihime.
There was no other way; Kurotsuchi Mayuri was holed up in the Department of Research and Development overseeing everything, so Urahara Kisuke had to take matters into his own hands.
"You dare stop me even if you're not the captain?" The mountain of flesh Zenteiji Arihime Yubin, grinned a terrifying smile.
Although Captain's Haori and the Hirako have stepped down from their captain positions, they still wear the captain's haori, only without the squad number on the back. Now, the Captain's Haori is more of a testament to strength; those who can wear it are at least Bankai with Bleach.
Urahara Kisuke, however, was still wearing his usual green robe. In Zenjoji's view, Urahara had no power to stop him at all.
"What a pity, senior, I was also a captain of the Squad 12 for a period of time."
With a wave of his Urahara Kisuke unleashed a series of attacks from Red Princess, carrying various gadgets as they flew towards Zenjoji Temple.
Just by looking at Zenjoji's physique, one could tell that he was a close-combat, high-attack type of Bleach, Urahara had no intention of going head-to-head with him.
Just as Urahara had predicted, Zenjoji withstood Urahara's attack with his bare body without even flinching.
"Is this what the Squad 12 has become? They've even lost their most basic physical strength? Let me show you!"
Zenteiji Arihime's smile grew even more cruel; he could already picture Urahara Kisuke being smashed into a pulp. The original Squad 12 hadn't shown any signs of technological development whatsoever.
"Senior Nikotsu, we meet again." Jūshirō Ukitake stood in front of Gyakkotsu Saizo, his tone extremely respectful.
Have we met before?
Gyakkotsu Saizo's voice was hoarse and dry, and coupled with his skin and bones and aged body, one couldn't help but wonder if he might collapse to the ground at any moment.
"I am Jūshirō Ukitake. With the help of Lord Mimihagi, I have witnessed your heroic bearing."
When Ukitake first received the power of Mimihagi, the Soul King's Right Hand, he received instruction from Mimihagi's predecessor, Gyakkotsu Saizo, in his consciousness. It was because of this instruction that Ukitake quickly gained Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's favor after entering the academy.
"Lord Mimihagi."
Gyakkotsu Saizo's murky eyes cleared considerably. Back then, he and Mimihagi were the most compatible partners, and their collaboration earned him the reputation of a great villain.
"Are you the host of this generation's Mimihagi Haki?"
"It is thanks to Lord Mimihagi's power that I have been able to survive until now," Ukitake said truthfully.
"Lord Mimihagi is as kind as ever."
Gyakkotsu Saizo sighed, recalling how Mimihagi had taken a liking to his old bones back then, and had willingly possessed his body to save the dying old man's life.
"Let me see the strength of Lady Mimihagi's generation of chosen ones."
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange fluctuation emanated from Gyakkotsu Saizo. Although Gyakkotsu Saizo supposed to be very slow, his actual speed was extremely fast.
This feeling was very familiar to Ukitake; it was the stillness power of the Soul King's Right Hand. He hadn't expected that the Soul King's Right Hand had disappeared from Gyakkotsu Saizo's body, and that Nigu Caizang's material still contained a portion of its power.
A dark aura emanated from Ukitake, and he was about to mobilize the power of his right spirit hand.
The battlefield in Karakura Town wasn't just about these captains. A massive Senkaimon spanned the sky, and the current Gotei 13, led by Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, were all present. The Bleach from each division, led by their captains, launched an attack and managed to suppress the beast tide released by the Gates of Hell.
"Tch! That Yamamoto Shigekuni!" Seeing Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's face Saito Furofushi, was filled with rage. Just as she was about to kill her enemy, a sea of pink flowers enveloped her.
"There are always arrogant fools everywhere. Hey, you..." Saito Furofushi and immortal, looked at Byakuya Kuchiki who suddenly blocked her way, and was about to say something harsh, but couldn't get the words out.
Saito curled his lip in disdain. "What's your name, kid? How come you look so much like my stupid younger brother?"
"Byakuya Kuchiki".
"Kuchiki..." Saito gritted his teeth impatiently, "That's just like that kid, he doesn't even dare to try and get close enough, he insists on changing his name..."
"Hey kid! Why don't you greet your ancestor when you see him?" Saito Furofushi asked arrogantly.
"The name of Saito Furofushi is not found in the Kuchiki Clan's collection."
After obtaining information about the first Gotei 13, Byakuya Kuchiki returned to the Kuchiki Clan and had all of Kuchiki's written records searched through. There were no written records at all, and the rumor that Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto had mentioned was completely unverifiable.
"Isn't this exactly that idiot's style?"
"He wants to take advantage of me becoming the team leader, but he's also afraid that my personality will cause trouble everywhere and get him into trouble."
"I'm afraid that after I die, the position of the 6th Division will fall into the hands of you Kuchiki, won't it?"
When confronted with Saito Furofushi, Byakuya remained silent. The 6th Division was a noble division, and the succession of its captain had always been passed down through the powerful Kuchiki Clan family.
The idea that Saito Furofushi seemed to make some sense.
"You admit it?" Saito saw the meaning behind Byakuya's silence. "Alright, I'll spare your life since you look kind. Get out of my way, I'm going to get revenge on that old bastard Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto!"
Seeing the Zanpakuto pointing at him, Byakuya showed no intention of backing down. He simply used cherry blossoms to condense a sword in his hand and assumed a defensive stance.
"They're just as stubborn as ever!" Saito Furofushi, swung his blade at Byakuya Kuchiki.
While the original Gotei 13 were tied up, other battles were raging. Ichigo and Tsuna took the initiative to confront the massive Hell Will, while the remaining Sinners and monsters were dealt with by others.
Hell Will is incredibly tough; Tsuna couldn't possibly defeat it using only the power of Glacier Flame. He had to switch to his Storm Attribute Beyond Bankai, unleashing a barrage of attacks to take down Hell Will while simultaneously providing support to the others.
However, this still felt like a drop in the ocean, as the number of Hell Will was increasing. When they were in Hell, Tsuna and the others had seen Hell Will stretching as far as the eye could see.
Using the Big Flame Storm Sky Fang forced back a Hell Will that had just emerged from the Gates of Hell, and ran to Tsuna 'Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto side.
"Old Man Yama, it seems there's something wrong with the Kōtetsu Clan."
"No need to guess, something must have happened to them." Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto unleashed a sea of fire with Shinra Bansho "All Things Under Heaven" technique, engulfing countless sinners. "The Hell Will can no longer stand against Hell; at the very least, the host of the Left Leg of the Soul King has encountered a problem."
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's analysis is not without merit. The Hell Will has always been under the influence of the Soul King's power and has not been controlled by Hell. Now that the Hell Will has returned to Hell's control, there can only be this explanation.
"You've brought the entire Gotei 13 here, aren't you afraid they'll turn around and raid our base?" Tsuna blasted away another Hell Will with a single shot, and the number of Hell Will was increasing, putting more and more pressure on them.
"Hell has designated Karakura Town as the battlefield, and we must participate in the battle. As for Seireitei, it is guarded and can be abandoned if necessary."
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's courage was immense; he could abandon a place he had protected for a thousand years just like that.
Even when Tsuna and Ichigo were feeling increasingly pressured, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto took the initiative to relieve some of the pressure from the Hell Will.
"Beyond Bankai, melt the calamity of Ikkotsu!"
With a single punch, Hell Will was burned to ashes by Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto before it even had a chance to be knocked away. This seemingly morale-boosting attack was actually a bit of an overreaction.
Ichigo and Tsuna were well aware that the boundless Hell Will had no number of members, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto couldn't maintain a full-force attack indefinitely.
"Save your energy, Old Man Yama." Tsuna kicked a Hell Will away and precisely blasted its Visored apart.
"Sawada-sensei, we'll help too!"
Nel arrived with fully-fledged Arrancar. Upon their arrival, they activated the Hogyoku Fusion state and charged towards the direction of the Hell Will.
Even while shooting, Stark had a moment to explain to Tsuna and the others, "We waited in Soul Society for a while, and it seems Hell only attacks the World of the Living, so Nel brought us here to help."
"They've been a great help." Tsuna nodded; the arrival of the Arrancar had greatly reduced the pressure on him and Ichigo.
Tsuna looked at Ichigo, Ichigo, as if on cue, flew towards the Gates of Hell. They were going to try and see if they could close that damned gate.
