"Byakuya Kuchiki's crowning moment"

The screen changes.

A team, a team affairs room.

"Captain... If I'm not mistaken, the battle should be taking place in Hollow World, right?" Looking at the endless white desert, Chojiro couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

What happened?

How did Byakuya Kuchiki appear in Hollow World?

And... who is that dying Arrancar who has been shown powerless and furious from beginning to end?

For a moment.

The thoughts of the elderly Westerner were in chaos.

This sudden battle exposed too much unknown information.

"Chojiro, you guessed right, but this place is completely different from the Hollow World I remember" Yamamoto sat cross-legged in front of the wooden box with a solemn expression.

Through the iconic white desert, he could judge at a glance.

Only...

What puzzled the old man was...

Blue sky, white clouds, and an imposing white palace.

The surroundings of Hollow World.

Why is it so different from what I had imagined?

"What does it mean?"

Nanao Ise asked Chojiro.

As the first team's assistant, although her lifespan is as long as the captain's, she has never left the Soul Society even half a step, so she has no knowledge of the original appearance of Hollow World.

"Hollow World, which should be endless darkness, seems like hell"

"But now there have been earth-shattering changes, and the level of prosperity is no less than that of the Soul Society."

"Don't you want to know why?"

The white eyebrows arched, and each syllable of the captain revealed unprecedented concern.

Strange.

Hollow World, which was originally lifeless, has secretly developed to the current level right under their noses.

A captain with a keen sense of intuition.

Immediately sensed a dangerous smell.

"So, what should we do now?"

Nanao Ise asked quietly.

Looking at the captain's face, which was slightly discolored due to worry, Chojiro couldn't help but have a cold sweat drip down his cheeks.

He didn't remember how many years it had been.

Actually seeing the captain's worried expression again.

Seems...

Things are getting serious.

"Go, in addition to the Research and Development Department, you should also contact Byakuya Kuchiki as soon as possible and ask him clearly" Yamamoto ordered meticulously and majestically.

Although the old man knew in his heart.

Whether now or in the past, not all video images could be recent.

There is a high probability that it is a future episode.

But...

The chief captain still had a sense of luck.

In case the video is just a joke, then nothing is hidden.

"Yes, captain"

Chojiro responded respectfully.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave the team room, the video continued to play.

"Damn, damn, damn"

"What did you do? Why did my ability fail? Why do you reject my fraternity?"

Accompanied by a hysterical roar.

On Zommari's forehead, the cursed eye emitting purple light closed countless times, trying to control Byakuya Kuchiki's body with the last bit of strength.

However...

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

No matter how strong the penetration power of the black curse mark was, it still couldn't shake the barrier of Splitting Void at all. Every time it struck fiercely, it only caused a loud noise.

"Give up the struggle, Arrancar..."

Holding the knife with one hand.

The white captain's haori fluttered in the wind.

Byakuya Kuchiki raised his eyes, squinting forward with arrogant and rude eyes, and said coldly.

"Don't you understand?"

"The monkeys seeking the moon see nothing but the reflection in the water. And if you strive so hard to defeat me, this extravagant hope will only sink to the bottom of the water"

The voice is indifferent.

Like a frozen lake.

Those words stayed in place, Byakuya Kuchiki held the figure of Zanpakutō for a moment and teleported to the side of Zommari's body.

"Ah..."

A groan.

Zommari tilted his head stiffly.

A huge cut mark on his body was reflected in the faint cursed eyes.

Injury, tearing.

Blood spurted like a fountain.

This means that his body is about to be split in two.

...

"Whew..."

In the team room.

Watching this bloody scene.

Chōjirō Sasakibe stopped abruptly and gasped in shock.

Raise the hand and swing the knife.

Byakuya Kuchiki simply swung his Zanpakutō once and instantly killed an Adjuchas-level Arrancar.

When did his strength become so powerful?

"Well..."

Yamamoto's pupils shrank.

Accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, he was also astonished by that cut just now.

Byakuya Kuchiki's strong and decisive performance.

The worry in the old man's heart faded a bit.

"Captain, then... do we still need to ask Byakuya Kuchiki now?" Chōjirō Sasakibe asked.

"No need..."

He shook his head without thinking.

With a satisfied tone, the captain praised. "Although he appeared in a place where he shouldn't have, Byakuya Kuchiki still fulfilled the duty of a Shinigami captain"

"He can be on the list. I feel he deserves it"

Finally.

The captain gave a highly recognized evaluation.

...

[Real World]

[Suburb of Karakura Town]

On the corner of the street, on the eaves of a low building, a black cat lazily licked its paws.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

The topaz-colored eyes reflected the beautiful back of Byakuya Kuchiki, who instantly killed the Arrancar. Yoruichi in black cat form showed a humanized expression and smiled with satisfaction.

"Didn't expect..."

"That bastard Byakuya, who used to wear crotch pants in front of me back then, has grown to this point now. I guess the old man will be relieved when he sees it."

Yoruichi said emotionally.

Yes.

Like everyone else, she also watched the inventory video while wandering in the suburbs.

At first.

Yoruichi also questioned Byakuya Kuchiki's inclusion on the list.

I think with his paralyzed facial strength, he doesn't seem to be ranked among the top fifteen in the Shinigami world.

But...

After watching the battle just now.

She completely dispelled the doubts and recognized Byakuya Kuchiki's strength.

"Speaking of which..." Yoruichi raised her paw and combed the messy cat fur, and said expectantly. "As Byakuya's master, I must have a place among the top ten on this list, right?"

Although I have never been very interested in fame and glory.

However, the strong man's inventory video still aroused Yoruichi's desire to win, and she was eager to see herself in the follow-up inventory.

...

[Hollow World]

The huge Las Noches Palace was in complete silence.

As Zommari's body slowly disappeared in the video, time seemed to stop at that moment.

"Gulp..."

Swallowed hard.

Yammy withdrew his fist stuck in the wall crack and murmured incredulously. "Zommari... was actually killed by Shinigami? How is that possible?"

Fear, worry.

Yammy was deeply shocked by this scene.

At first, he could still rely on the large number of Arrancar, cursing in a corner and belittling the Shinigami.

Then this moment.

Yammy's heart almost stopped beating and he no longer dared to have doubts.

"Didn't expect Espada to be beheaded"

Under the broken black bangs, Ulquiorra was expressionless, but his heart was equally shocked.

Although there is no bond between Menos Grande.

However, when truly witnessing his companion being annihilated, Ulquiorra trembled in his heart.

And...

Completely recognized Byakuya Kuchiki's strength.
