The Most Serious Father in the Pirate World Has Returned

Looking at the figure kneeling on one knee before him, Dunn nodded.

"You've recovered well."

"Yes, my lord. I possess High-Speed Regeneration."

The Arrancar before him was Ulquiorra. Earlier, after Aizen fused with the Hōgyoku, Ulquiorra had tried to stop him and was nearly beaten to death.

But it wasn't as though he had achieved nothing. He had taken away all the Hollows that had been in Las Noches at the time.

"Let's go. There are still some matters that you need to decide for yourselves."

After Dunn spoke, Ulquiorra rose to his feet and followed behind him.

When they arrived at the Rose Hunter, Dunn turned his head to look off one side of the ship.

"There are a little too many of them," Dunn said softly.

"Lord Dunn, hasn't the outside already recovered?" Starrk asked as he walked over with a relaxed expression.

He had watched the world's cycle unfold earlier. At first, he had thought this world would be completely destroyed, and he had genuinely felt somewhat conflicted.

But now, he was much more at ease.

He had even spotted familiar Hollows at the edge of the great forest.

"So?" Dunn already understood what he meant.

"Some of them may choose to stay," Starrk said.

"Mm, that works out nicely."

As he spoke, Dunn leaped onto the ship. The second layer of spatial barriers that had been set up around it immediately dissolved.

"Looks like it wasn't quite as you said," Robin remarked with a smile when she saw Dunn return.

"You always have to prepare for the worst. You can't assume that things will definitely end in the best possible way."

"That's true, but this outcome isn't bad either." Robin nodded gently, sounding somewhat wistful.

"They're just Hollow creatures anyway. If they disappear, they disappear." Boa
