"Idiot bald man, why are you holding on for less and less time? What does three seconds mean?"
The explosion stirred up a cloud of smoke, and an angry curse came from the middle:
"Are you a man or not?"
"..."
Kurosaki Ichigo looked at the girl in front of him with blond hair in two braids, dark brown eyes, a pair of tiger teeth, and a physical appearance that looked like that of a junior high school student, with veins popping out on her forehead.
I want to open my mouth to defend myself, but I don’t know how to say it...
And most importantly...
What the other person said is true.
"It's so noisy, idiot!!"
"Haha, don't you know anything else to say besides this?"
The tiger-toothed girl said with a sarcastic expression, which made Ichigo Kurosaki feel like he was grinding his teeth and wanted to use his Zanpakutō to smooth out her two tiger fangs.
These people...
Call themselves the Masked Army.
The last time he fought against that guy named Grimmjow, the pure white version of himself that had appeared when he was fighting Kenpachi appeared again.
And unlike the last time, he was just fighting with himself inside his body.
As soon as he appeared, he took away his body!
Although this also allowed him to survive from Grimmjow.
After that, these people who called themselves the Masked Legion approached me and asked me to join their legion.
At first Kurosaki Ichigo did not agree, but after only one day, he noticed that he was changing rapidly.
You can even feel it faintly...
There is a guy inside him who is rapidly becoming stronger and merging with him step by step. However, in Kurosaki Ichigo's view, this is him cannibalizing himself.
This feeling was extremely wonderful. Even when facing Uncle Zangyue, he had never had this kind of feeling of fusion, as if he and himself were one.
It even made him let down his guard for a while.
But that kind of feeling that Uncle Zangetsu didn't give him made Kurosaki Ichigo understand that the other party might be deliberately confusing him.
This made Ichigo Kurosaki feel even more afraid of the guy inside his body.
But even so, he had no intention of joining this unknown legion until Lucia came to him.
Lucia didn't say anything, she just repeated to him what Brother Duanmu said when he arrived.
(After this battle, he will gain new strength. If you believe me, it is better not to get involved.)
(Although it will get out of control in a short period of time, and you may even be attacked if you step in, but it does belong to Kurosaki Ichigo's power, and you don't need to worry about him.)
If this were said by someone else, Kurosaki Ichigo might still hesitate.
But Brother Duan Mu is different. He saved himself and his mother when he was a child, and he was always watching when he was learning swastika. He obviously felt something from himself.
Although he didn't understand why he said that this power belonged to him, Kurosaki Ichigo still chose to believe his words and took the initiative to find these guys who called themselves the Masked Legion.
Since it is your own power, you must learn how to control it!
The result was very gratifying. With the help of these people, he really conquered the opponent in his body and gained a way to use the opponent's power.
But Kurosaki Ichigo doesn't know...
The process of him subduing his internal weakness is actually not much different from the way a god of death subdues his Zanpakutō.
However, he could not maintain the new power for too long.
3 seconds~5 seconds!
In such a short period of time, it can be said that as soon as the battle started, it was over on my side.
"Bald~~"
A strong wind hit, Kurosaki Ichigo subconsciously raised his hand to take it, and found that it was a poorly packaged lunch box.
"What are you doing in your daze?"
"nothing."
Kurosaki Ichigo shook his head: "I just remembered something."
"how?"
The Huya girl chuckled strangely: "Little brat, are you homesick?"
Little brat?
Ichigo Kurosaki looked at the girl named Hiyori Sarugaki, who was about the same size as his sister, and couldn't help but ask: "Speaking of which, how old are you guys? You are always called a brat.
No more, and you...are you 14 years old?"
"ha?"
Hiyori Sarukaki rolled his eyes: "You have already been to Soul Society, and you are still obsessed with other people's ages. The vice-captains and captains who come into contact with you in Soul Society are all between one and two hundred years old.
"
"Well……"
Ichigo Kurosaki was choked by her words, but then retorted: "There are also younger ones. As far as I know, Brother Duanmu is more than a hundred years younger than Lucia, and he is not as old as me."
Dad is older."
"Then in this life, you should be called uncle, right?"
"Idiot, you said that over there is Soul Society."
The quarrel between the two did not attract anyone's attention. Only a man with a blond haircut who looked carefree asked: "Is the Duan Mu you are talking about the guy who fought with those ten blades a few days ago?
?”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone who had not paid attention at first could not help but turn their attention to Kurosaki Ichigo.
Having lived in the present world for a long time, they naturally knew about the battle that took place in Zamachi, but they just didn't want to participate in the battle between the Shinigami and the Arrancar.
Or rather...
I don’t want to stand with Death to face the enemy, even if the enemy is the same.
Even if they have never fought against the Ten Blades who came to Karakura Town, they can still feel the power of those Ten Blades.
And everything that the Death God who supported him later shocked them.
Especially...
The opponent also used techniques such as virtual flash and ringing in the battle. If it weren't for the fact that the opponent didn't have any virtual aura on his body, they might all think that the opponent was the same as Kurosaki Ichigo and was of the same kind as them.
"Is that guy strong?"
A girl wearing a sailor suit and glasses who looked very quiet asked.
"Eh? Lisa doesn't know?"
The girl with short green hair, wearing goggles, an orange scarf, tights and boots, tilted her head.
"Fool."
The white-haired middle-aged man next to him glared at Kunanbai in annoyance: "She went to the comic exhibition and bought some venue-limited book."
"Ah~~"
Kunanbai suddenly realized, and then explained: "He is a very powerful person. With the help of Xiaobo, we also watched his battle. He fought several Jublade at the same time and even gained the upper hand. Even Hirako said
The other party is a very powerful guy."
"Can you believe what that bald man said?"
"Hey, hey, Hiyori, are you looking down on me too much?"
"You guys."
Kurosaki Ichigo was slightly startled when he heard everyone's discussion, and then said angrily: "Since you know that there is a battle over there, why don't you go and help? Isn't your enemy also Aizen?"
"We don't want to help Death."
Hiyori replied with a cold tone, and as if she felt that she was not firm enough, she added again: "I won't even die!"
Jiunabai continued to explain to Lisa: "Anyway, he is very strong. Someone like Kenxi can probably kill several people with one punch."
"...Do you want to die?"
The white-haired middle-aged man, known as Liuche Quanxi, punched Kunanbai in the back of the head with a snap.
"Ah~ Quanxi, you idiot~"
Kunanbai, who was suddenly injured, immediately squatted down and covered the back of his head.
"Brother Duan Mu is not the God of Death."
At this moment, Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly spoke.
"Um?"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at him again.
"According to Renji, Rukia and the others, Duanmu has always been a commoner in Rukongai. He has never joined the Gotei 13th Division, nor is he a member of the Seireitei. He has only accepted the Gotei 13th Division.
As entrusted by the squad, I am only temporarily acting as the captain."
"By the way, Brother Duanmu opened a Wenshiya in Rukongai. It's the kind of shop that accepts any kind of work."
"What a joke."
Before anyone else could speak, Hiyori on the side scolded angrily: "Even if the Seireitei is short of people, it is impossible to hire a guy from Rukongai to be the Shinigami captain. There must be a limit to joking.
"
"No, he's right."
Hirako Mako suddenly said: "After that, I once asked the guy Urahara. According to what he said, the guy named Duan Mu is indeed not a god of death, but he is extremely powerful. But for more specific things, what does he do?
In order to protect the privacy of our partners, they refused to tell me anything.”
Since coming to the present world, they have rarely paid attention to the affairs of Soul Society, and basically got all the news from Urahara Kisuke.
Among all the people, Hirako Mako can be said to be the one with the least hostility towards the God of Death, and he is also the only one who would take the initiative to inquire about information about Soul Society. The other members are extremely repulsive towards the God of Death because of what happened in the past.
"That's really a bit curious."
Lisa looked through the picture album in her hand and asked, "Is that guy really strong?"
"Very strong."
After Hirako Mako finished speaking, he frowned slightly: "And it's a bit weirdly strong. He looks more like our kind than Kurosaki Ichigo."
"ah?"
Kurosaki Ichigo was stunned.
"Ah what, bald man!"
Hiyori kicked him directly: "You can't even use a false dodge. You are simply lowering the minimum limit of our Masked Army."
"But Urahara Kisuke clearly told me that there is no Hollow in the opponent's body, but he has completely simulated the power of the Hollow in the way of a god of death, and he is not weak at all; even Urahara said that he is a true sense of the word
Genius, even in some aspects, is not weaker than Aizen."
Hirako Mako paused and continued: "Probably because of this, Aizen has always wanted to capture him to Hueco Mundo. In fact, the battle a few days ago was already the second time. The first time Aizen sent ten
Blade captured him in Soul Society, so it can be seen that Aizen attaches great importance to him."
"And when Aizen defected, he was the one who fought with Aizen and dragged him until the captains arrived."
Hirako Mako glanced at Kurosaki Ichigo: "Ichigo should know this better, he was at the scene at the time."
"..."
Kurosaki Ichigo showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, but...but except for the first few seconds when he was stabbed, he had been protected by Yoruichi in the confession palace, lying on the ground and observing the battle.
It was precisely because of this that he realized that there was such a huge gap between captain and captain.
"That should be a nice guy."
Hiyori suddenly said that it was not that she had a good impression of Duan Mu. After all, they were just watching the battle through Xiaobo's ability, just like watching TV.
But in her eyes...
Anyone who plays Aizen is a good guy to her.
"On the contrary, I think he is dangerous."
Mako Hirako shrugged his shoulders, but didn't explain much.
Although Urahara did not tell the details about Duanmu, he also conducted some investigations because of Aizen.
turn out……
The other party's experience is surprisingly similar to Aizen's.
He is also a genius, and he has gained great strength in just a dozen years.
And most importantly...
He originally thought Aizen was dangerous, so he kept him close to him for surveillance.
As for the guy named Duan Mu, it was also because Zaihou felt that he was very unstable and might endanger the safety of Seireitei, so he placed him next to him for monitoring.
Plus…
Gentle, kind, friendly to others, a good person... these labels can be heard as long as you ask Duan Mu, which makes Hirako Mako extremely unhappy, because Aizen is also like this.
But unlike Aizen, the other party did not join the Gotei 13th Division, and the fact that the other party controlled the villains in the lower areas of Rukongai has never been concealed.
Regarding Duan Mu, there is no need to go to Seireitei to inquire.
If you pick any resident in Rukongai, they will be able to speak eloquently. As for Duan Mu being the boss of the evil people, the residents of Rukongai fully accept it. Not only do they not reject him, but they respect him even more.
But there is no fear or awe, there is just respect from the heart, and the feeling of treating him as a friend.
Women, in particular, were even more friendly towards them, which made Pingzi a little unhappy.
Listening to the discussion of several people, Kurosaki Ichigo did not interrupt because he was also curious about Brother Duanmu.
What he knew about Brother Duan Mu was from Rukia and Renji. He didn't know the more detailed information at all. He only knew that in Soul Society... Brother Duan Mu was the youngest person.
But no one in Soul Society cares about age.
People who die at different times will form a family based on their age before death.
For example, Parrot Shibata, after he arrived in Soul Society, he formed a family with a child who died more than 80 years ago...well, a person who looked like a child. The boy who was nearly 80 years older than Shibata became
Shibata's brother.
This is why he can call Duan Mu brother without any sense of disobedience.
Mainly because...
I've been used to it since I was a kid.
"You seem to respect that guy named Duan Mu very much."
Lisa looked at Kurosaki Ichigo and asked with some confusion: "Didn't you only stay in Soul Society for a few days? Is that guy so charming?"
"No, I have already met Brother Duan Mu when I was very young."
Kurosaki Ichigo shook his head: "He was the one who saved my mother and I from the Hollow's attack, but I never knew his identity before going to Soul Society."
"That's it."
Lisa nodded and threw the magazine aside.
Kurosaki Ichigo glanced at it and said, "What is this?"
"Fake!"
Lisa said angrily: "This is a photo album I bought at the venue a few days ago. I felt ashamed when I saw the cover. I bought it out of curiosity and took a look. It turned out that the content was completely irrelevant to the cover. It was simply a fraud.
."
"And later I found out that the author of this photo album just found some pictures from the Internet and compiled them into a book for sale. However, because they were all old photos, no one found it at first. However, not long after I bought it, he
He was taken away."
"The most important thing is..."
Lisa pushed up her glasses with a proud look on her face: "Compared with this kind of thing, I prefer to read magazines that are mainly male-oriented. I bought this one entirely because of the cover."
Is the cover embarrassing?
Hearing Lisa repeatedly emphasize the cover, Kurosaki Ichigo couldn't help but glance at it curiously, and this glance made him freeze in place.
The cover of the photo album that was randomly discarded on the ground showed a crossroads. The protagonist was a handsome young man without any clothes and a very confused expression on his face. Behind it were high-rise buildings and densely packed crossroads.
crowd.
It does seem extremely shameful, and it also makes people curious as to why this young man would appear naked in a place like this.
but……
The face of the protagonist on the cover made Ichigo Kurosaki freeze in place as if he had been struck by lightning.
"This is……"
Kurosaki Ichigo then stepped forward and picked up the photo album from the ground, staring intently at the confused and helpless young man on the cover.
"Eh~~"
His reaction made everyone stunned. The owner of the photo album, Lisa, suddenly lit up: "So this is your hobby. No wonder you didn't even bother to lend me a comic book. I don't care about BL either."
I like it very much.”
"This... how is this possible... wrong..."
Ichigo Kurosaki ignored her, looked at the cover of the photo album, and murmured to himself like a madman: "Am I hallucinating because I am too tired from training? It must be like this...otherwise, why would Brother Duan Mu appear here...and...
How could he be photographed by a real-world camera? This is impossible..."
Duan Mu?
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other and swarmed to Kurosaki Ichigo.
"It is indeed very similar to the image Xiaobo showed us."
Liuche Quanxi said with some surprise at first, then he looked at the cover carefully and nodded: "The figure is indeed good."
"Let me see, let me see..."
Jiunabai jumped on Liuche Quanxi: "Tsk, this figure... Ouyou... However, his figure in Xiaobo's image is even better than now."
"...You guy...what were you looking at at that time?"
"Hey, hey, hey, don't crowd around."
"But isn't he the captain?"
Hobashiro Juro smoothed his hair and said, "The Gotei 13th Division's funds are now so low that the captain can come out to shoot this kind of publication?"
"You idiot, how could the God of Death be photographed?"
"Yes, it should have been taken before death, right?"
"No, it was indeed taken after death!"
Lisa suddenly said, everyone looked at her after hearing the words, only to see Lisa browsing the web with her mobile phone: "I just asked at the comic exhibition group, and someone told me that this was news seven years ago, and gave it to me
There is a web page attached... I just looked at it and it was indeed seven years ago."
"According to rumors, he was naked, fell from the sky, and then suddenly disappeared."
"It has even become an urban legend, known as..."
"A saint descended from heaven!"
…
Speaking of which, the number of chapters in the first two chapters was wrong... No one noticed, not even myself...
However, if you want to change the chapter name, you have to contact the editor, so I won’t change it...
