Who was he?!
Why had he never seen him before?!
Questions kept surfacing in the burly man's mind. He simply could not figure out what was going on!
After the burly man left, Zaraki Kenpachi and Uchiha Hikaru headed toward Seientei, which he had just departed from.
Kusajishi Yachiru, meanwhile, had been sent by Zaraki Kenpachi to District 80! Everyone in District 80 knew she was his Vice-Captain.
No matter how chaotic District 80 became, she would be absolutely fine there!
On the way, Uchiha Hikaru was still puzzled about why Zaraki Kenpachi had helped him earlier.
When he asked, Zaraki Kenpachi merely fidgeted and failed to explain himself, stubbornly changing the subject instead.
Uchiha Hikaru found it strange, but he did not press further. If a forthright man like Zaraki Kenpachi was unwilling to say it, then it surely was not something pleasant.
So he could not be bothered to ask again and simply asked what had happened in Soul Society over the past few days.
From Zaraki Kenpachi, Uchiha Hikaru learned that—
Soul Society had indeed been gripped by panic these past few days, and someone was already trying to overthrow Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.
They intended to seize the Captain-Commander's throne currently occupied by Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.
That was why the earlier scene had happened!
And Zaraki Kenpachi was heading to District 80 to intimidate the rioters.
Even sending three Shinigami guards to the entirety of District 80 would not be as effective as sending one Zaraki Kenpachi.
This guy had once been a notorious figure in District 80, and he was a division captain who had risen from District 80. The people there felt a sense of belonging toward him!
"Do you know why the Kido Cannon didn't fire?" Uchiha Hikaru suddenly thought of it and asked
