"Oh? There are different buildings in front. Those should be where the Shinigami live, right?"
After Kurosaki and his party continued to move forward, they finally left the dilapidated street behind them and walked to a clean and tidy neighborhood. The overall architectural style seemed to be different from that of Rukongai behind them. It was luxurious and upscale.
The feeling came over him, so after seeing the buildings in front of him, Uryū gently pushed his myopia glasses and spoke softly to Ichigo and Taihu.
"Um……"
Hearing this, Ichigo nodded lightly and walked towards the street without any intention of stopping.
"boom!!"
The moment Ichigo and others approached the street, countless walls seemed to fall from the sky. The white and huge walls exuded endless majesty and surrounded the entire neighborhood where the Shinigami lived, the Seireitei.
A tall giant holding two axes was approaching Ichigo and the others with a grin.
"Hahaha, how long has it been?! I don't know how long it has been. The intruder didn't show up. He obviously didn't have a pass, but he wanted to pass through the folding door behind me..."
"My name is Gadanbo, and I am the guardian of the gate behind me, the Seireitei's Ximen White Gate! I am also one of the top strongmen in the Soul Society!"
The giant is nearly ten meters tall. He wears a red hat on his head and has long hair on his waist. He is wearing the same death uniform as the God of Death and has straw sandals on his feet. However, half of his body is naked. At the same time, the shoulder of the naked half is
Equipped with silver-white armor, the whole person exudes endless terrifying aura, worthy of being guarded by the Seireitei gate.
In fact, there are four gates in Seireitei, the west gate Hakudōmon, the south gate Jukubomon, the north gate Kureimon, and the east gate Seiryumon...
From the naming method of these four doors, it can be easily deduced that these four doors are named according to the colors and directions represented by the four images.
Starting from the west gate, there are white tigers in the west, Suzakus in the south, Xuanwu in the north, and Qinglong in the east.
"Boy, I have been guarding the Baidao Gate behind me for three hundred years. In these three hundred years, no one has been able to defeat me and pass through the gate behind me!"
"I wonder, kid, if you can break my undefeated record. At least, play with me for a while. After all, it's too boring to guard the door alone."
Ji Danfang wrapped his arms in front of him, looked down at Ichigo beneath him, and shouted loudly, with a powerful aura.
Unfortunately, at this moment, Ichigo, Uryu, and Taihu did not raise their heads to look at the Danfang, but were discussing something.
"If you want to compare your strength, you should let me go, right?"
Taihu took the initiative to ask for help. He was very confident in his own strength.
"Isn't it right? Since he claims to be a strong man, there is no need for us to hit an egg against a stone..."
"We should avoid competing with him in terms of strength and just use sacred arrows to kill him from a distance."
Yulong pushed the myopia glasses on the bridge of his nose and directly refuted Taihu.
"Such behavior is too cruel. We are only here to save Kuchiki-san, not to kill."
Taihu frowned, he thought Yulong's behavior was too radical.
"It's ridiculous. The enemy is determined to kill us. If we don't have the same determination, how can we defeat them? Taihu, put away your unnecessary mercy and remember that this is a war between the Quincy and the God of Death.
"
Yulong snorted coldly and scolded Taihu angrily.
"Isn't this a war between the Quincy and the God of Death?"
Taihu frowned, he always felt that Yulong was a bit extreme.
"..."
Si Danfang just looked at the two people arguing under him in silence. Although Si Danfang was silent, the stretched veins on his forehead had revealed his mood at the moment. Now Si Danfang was very angry.
, Incomparable anger, this feeling of being ignored makes people feel angry.
"You bastards!"
Si Danfang roared angrily and swung his arms down violently. The next second, with a huge impact, a huge deep hole was dug out in front of the entire Baidao Gate by Si Danfang.
However, Ichigo, Uryū, and Taitora, who were originally standing in the attack position of the Dandanfang, had retreated to a safe place at some point.
"Haha, you guys run pretty fast, don't you?"
Jidanfang looked at Ichigo and others retreating, and the veins on his forehead stretched out. He looked at Ichigo and others with a smile but asked.
"Run? Just let me catch you here..."
Uryū seems to not like the word "run" in the mouth of Si Danfang. This will make Uryū feel like a Quincy met the God of Death and ran away. In other words, what this sentence means is,
Quincy is not as good as Death. Just kidding, Quincy has always been far superior to Death! So Uryū directly drew the sacred bow...
"boom……"
Taihu looked at Uryū who had drawn his bow and looked silent. His right arm lit up with a red light, and then many bright red lines covered Taihu's right arm. This was when Taihu got Ichigo's blood.
Afterwards, with the upgraded power, his right arm would no longer undergo exaggerated changes like the previous ability, but would become more delicate and more powerful at the same time.
Taihu decided to defeat Sidanfang with one punch before Yulong activated his ability. In Taihu's eyes, this was the only way to save the life of Sidanfang in front of him.
"..."
However, just when Uryuu and Taihu were about to take action, Ichigo stretched out his hands and held down the two people beside him.
"Ichigo?!"
Uryū and Taihu were shocked at the same time. They didn't seem to expect that just after they met a goalkeeper, Ichigo was ready to take action himself.
Ichigo didn't wait for Uryū and Taitora to say anything more, and walked straight to the Si Danfang in front of him.
"If I defeat you, we will be released, right?"
Ichigo looked at the Danbo House and asked.
"That's right, I, Si Danfang, keep what I say."
After listening to Ichigo's words, Si Danfang showed an honest smile.
"Your axes have been cut off by me..."
It was also at the moment when the words of Ji Danbo fell that he saw Ichigo make a move to put away the knife, and then Ichigo's light voice sounded in Ji Danbo's ears.
"Um?"
In response to this, Jidanbo was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at the double axes in his hands. Countless cold lights flashed through him. Jidanbo didn't know how many cuts Ichigo had made in that moment that could not be captured by the naked eye.
Because the two axes in his hands that had been with him for three hundred years had only the wooden ax handles left.
At this moment, the Si Danfang was silent. Ichigo could chop the two axes in his hands to pieces in an instant, and he could also chop his skull into pieces in an instant...
"Are you defeated?"
Ichigo stood under Gadanbo, looked at the silent Gadanbo, and asked.
"I...lost!"
Ji Danfang fell to his knees with a 'pop' sound. After facing Ichigo's blow, he was so frightened that tears and nose ran out.
"so……"
Ichigo didn't say anything, but he looked through the Sidanfang towards the White Gate behind the Sidanfang.
"I'm going to ask you to open the Baidao Gate behind you!"
Without saying a word, Jidanbo immediately stood up from the ground and spoke respectfully to Ichigo.
Being willing to admit defeat and respecting the strong are what a hero should do.
"Look at me..."
Si Danfang took a deep breath, and the veins on his forehead stretched. He used all his strength to lift the Baidaomen in front of him.
Then Si Danfang froze in place...
Inside the Baidaomen, a fox-like man with short silver-white hair, wearing a feather-weave, has been standing here, waiting for a long time. At this moment, he is looking at the Sidanfang with squinted eyes and a smile on his face.
Waiting for others, he gently shook his left hand and greeted everyone.
"Gudong~"
Jidanbo swallowed hard when he looked at the man in front of him. His forehead was covered with beads of sweat and his breathing became rapid, just because the man who appeared in front of him at this moment was from the third division of the Gotei Thirteenth Division.
Captain Ichimaru Gin.
"Hey! Boy, don't go any further. You can't defeat the man in front of you..."
"That's Lord Ichimaru Gin, the captain of the third division of the Gotei 13th Division!"
Ji Danfang's body was trembling slightly, and he did not dare to take a breath, but even so, he still reminded Ichigo and his party behind him.
However……
When the Danbo turned around to look at Ichigo, Ichigo had already passed through the White Gate and came to the man with silver hair who looked like a fox.
"This is not okay~"
"Sidanfang, your duty is to prevent others from passing through this door, so you must not help others open the door~"
"And you, the young man in trouble, if I were you, I would definitely run away immediately. Now you have no chance of winning against the person wearing this dress."
Ichimaru Gin looked at Gadanbo, Ichigo and the others with a smile. He first criticized Gadanbo, and then watched Ichigo angrily throw away the white captain Haori with the squad number printed on the back.
.
This white haori represents that the silver-haired man in front of me, who seems to be not much older than Ichigo, is one of the thirteen Shinigami called captain who stands at the top of all the Shinigami in the Gotei Thirteenth Division.
There is no doubt that the silver-haired man in front of me is the strongest among the strongest, but...
There was no fear on the faces of Ichigo, Uryu and Taitora. After all, there were too many versions behind Gin Ichimaru.
"Um?"
Ichimaru Gin looked at the expressionless Ichigo, Uryu, and Taihu, his silver eyebrows frowned, and then slowly relaxed...
At this moment, Ichimaru Gin thought that Ichigo and others were just newborn calves without fear of tigers, and could not understand his power at all. Therefore, Gin planned to educate Ichigo and others, and Ichigo and others went to find the captains of other divisions.
After all, not all captains are as 'soft-hearted' as he is.
With this thought, Ichimaru Gin took out an extremely short Zanpakutō from his waist.
"not good……"
Gadanbo looked at Ichimaru Gin who had drawn his Zanpakutō and had cold sweat streaming down his forehead. The captain-level Shinigami Zanpakutō was not that easy to handle.
"Shoot him...sharp gun!"
Ichimaru Gin smiled and pointed his Zanpakutō at Ichigo, and then released it instantly.
Silver-white sword light fills the entire space at this moment, and the gorgeous Zanpakutō blade will surely cut everything!
"it's over!"
Jidanbo's face turned pale. He knew that the moment the man in front of him released his Zanpakutō, whether it was him, the boy in trouble, or Ichigo and the others, they would all be completely engulfed by the light of the Zanpakutō in an instant.
shred.
However……
"Hey hey hey?! Are you kidding..."
Ichimaru Gin, who had been squinting his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes as cunning as a fox and as dangerous as a snake, staring at Kurosaki Ichigo in front of him.
Just because Gin Ichimaru's invincible spear was gently pinched by a pair of fingers, he could no longer move forward or backward.
The situation before him surpassed Ichimaru Gin's imagination. He had never thought that his Zanpakutō would be blocked in this way. Even Captain Aizen probably couldn't do it so lightly, using only two fingers.
Block his sharp spear, right?!
Compared to Ichimaru Gin's nervousness and shock, Uryū and Taitora looked calm. It seemed that in their eyes, if Ichigo couldn't even do this, he wouldn't be Kurosaki Ichigo. At that level
I'm afraid Ichigo won't be able to penetrate the spiritual pressure attached to his body surface and the blood armor under his spiritual pressure without any reaction, right?
"boom!!"
Just as Ichimaru Gin was confronting Ichigo and others, there was a sudden cracking sound in the sky.
Behind Ichigo and the others, a huge door suddenly appeared in the sky above Rukongai near the Seireitei.
A young gangster with long red hair and wearing a Death Assault uniform rushed out of the door with tears in his eyes. As soon as he appeared, Ichigo and others heard the roar of the red-haired gangster coming from the sky.
Voice: "Didn't you know how to control your spiritual pressure when you traveled through the world? Do you know how much trouble you caused me?"
"..."
In this regard, Ichigo and others remained silent.
"Plop~"
With a roar, the red-haired bastard landed successfully. He stood up from the ground and dusted off the dust on his body. The next second, the bastard's face was full of veins and he rushed straight towards Ichigo and the others.
"Vice Captain Abarai?!"
Si Danfang looked at the visitor and called out the red-haired gangster's name.
"Um……"
When the gangster heard this, he nodded towards the Danfang. Yes, he was Renji Abarai who had escaped from death and actually survived through the release of water. At this moment, he walked in with an angry look on his face.
Seireitei was ready to have a serious argument with Ichigo and others, but when Renji came to Ichigo and others, he was stunned.
Renji hugged his brain and couldn't believe what he saw, especially when he saw Ichimaru Gin holding a Zanpakutō in his hand. The slender silver-white blade showed that Ichimaru Gin had freed his hand.
The Zanpakutō was the right one, and what Renji couldn't accept the most was that Ichigo was holding Gin Ichimaru's Zanpakutō blade firmly with two fingers at this moment.
You must know that they are in Soul Society now, and they are not able to suppress spiritual pressure by 80% like they do in this world.
In other words, Ichigo controlled the captain-level Shinigami Haiga with one hand, which is too exaggerated.
"Give it back to you."
Ichigo felt Renji's presence when Renji was still far away from them, so he kept looking behind him.
It wasn't until Renji landed smoothly and sprinted in front of him that Ichigo remembered that he was still holding Ichimaru Gin's Zanpakutō, so he turned around and looked at Ichimaru Gin speaking very calmly, and as he spoke
To release Gin's Zanpakutō.
After all, Gin is a venomous snake raised by his good brother Sosuke specifically to bite him.
Ichigo still plans to return this snake to Soyousuke...
"Ichigo what's going on?"
Then Renji, anxious, patted Ichigo on the shoulder hard.
And then……
"Pa~"
With a soft sound, due to Renji's influence, Ichigo subconsciously used force and directly broke off Ichimaru Gin's blade.
