Chapter 554

At Hui's villa in Karakura Town.

Yoruichi had already recovered. 

Her body had undergone a transformation, and her power had greatly increased.

Unfortunately, even with her current strength, she still couldn't break free from Hui's spatial confinement. 

Ultimately, she couldn't escape the fate of being petted.

Since she was a cat, and Hui was quite bored these days, he naturally scratched the cat to pass time.

He had to admit, the feeling was really quite good.

Yoruichi was furious in her heart, wishing she could bite Hui's hand off.

Too bad she couldn't.

"Huh? A familiar face."

At a certain moment, Hui let out a soft exclamation and sat up from the lounge chair, looking towards the distant sky.

Hearing this, Yoruichi was stunned, then couldn't help but look over as well.

She was very interested in this mysterious human's acquaintance.

After a few seconds, a figure appeared in the sky where Hui was gazing. 

It was a woman with long flowing hair, her appearance exceptionally beautiful, an unearthly, bloody beauty.

Seeing the newcomer, Yoruichi was slightly taken aback, feeling like she had seen this person somewhere before. She was unusually familiar.

When the person got closer, she was surprised to find that it was the Captain of the Fourth Division, Retsu Unohana.

This shocked Yoruichi. These two... how did they become acquaintances???

"Hello, Captain Unohana, it's nice to see you again."

Hui greeted with a smile. 

Although he was certain that more Shinigami would come looking for him, he didn't expect it to be Unohana.

"Yes, it's nice to see you again... I don't know how to address you yet."

Unohana responded with a smile as well, landing from the sky beside Hui.

She glanced at the black cat in Hui's arms, seemingly aware that it was Yoruichi, but didn't ask about it.

"Mochizuki Hui."

Hui revealed his full name. 

Although he had been in this world for quite some time and had caused a great commotion, this was the first time his name was known to others.

"Mochizuki Hui..."

Unohana and Yoruichi repeated the name together in silence, then Unohana said with a smile: "It's nice to meet you, Mr. Mochizuki."

The smile was beautiful and captivating.

It even caused a ripple in Hui's heart.

It wasn't that he was a lecherous person; Hui had seen too many beauties, all kinds.

No matter how beautiful the appearance, in Hui's eyes, it actually couldn't be exquisite.

Because he observed too meticulously, he could clearly see flaws on people's faces that ordinary people couldn't see.

If Hui concentrated and focused all his attention, he could even see mites on ordinary people's faces.

Therefore, the word beauty would automatically disappear from Hui's vocabulary.

But Unohana was not human, she was a Shinigami.

They were two completely different beings.

Therefore, Unohana's appearance, strictly speaking, was indeed perfect.

But unfortunately, in Hui's eyes naturally startyed looking past appearences.

Once his gaze lingered enough what Hui observed could be described as the existential fremework of everything. Hence, just like a normal person looking at a bunch of human-shaped code, he wouldn't have any interest.

The reason why he felt a ripple in his heart for Unohana was entirely Lorianne's fault. 

Back in the world of One Piece, Hui had seen a glimpse of the future, a future that belonged to him. 

And in that future, he saw some scenes that stunned him into silence.

"It is always a pleasure to greet a friend. Captain Unohana, please have a seat."

With a casual wave of Hui's hand, the environment changed. 

In an instant, the two people and one cat were already in a beautiful courtyard.

Here, various colorful and brilliant flowers bloomed, their fragrance overflowing, and butterflies danced among them.

In the center of the courtyard stood a large cherry blossom tree, its crown forming an umbrella, with cherry blossoms falling.

Under the cherry blossom tree was a wooden seat. 

Hui sat on the wooden chair, lifted a finger, and a branch drooped down, presenting two wooden cups. 

Hui's finger moved again, and water appeared out of thin air. 

A clear stream slowly flowed into the wooden cups, as smooth and graceful as flowing clouds and water, pleasing to the eye.

When the water was seven-tenths full, two cherry blossoms fell from the tree and landed lightly in the cups, floating on the water.

"Please."

Hui spoke.

This display stunned Unohana and made Yoruichi's eyes widen.

They wanted to remain calm, but they couldn't.

Because, what kind of ability was this?!

Space? Control over trees? Creating water out of thin air?

Coupled with the abilities Hui had displayed before, at this moment, both of them were a little confused.

He had way too many abilities, it was simply unreasonable!

And these things that defied common sense deepened the mystery surrounding Hui. 

In Yoruichi's eyes, he was completely like a flower in the fog, a moon in the clouds, impossible to see clearly.

Mysterious, he was simply too mysterious.

Unohana suppressed the shock in her heart and calmed down. 

After all, she was a Shinigami who had lived for hundreds or even thousands of years, and her heart had long been able to remain unperturbed.

Taking a sip, Unohana, who had just calmed down, couldn't help but widen her eyes slightly, her pupils constricting.

Because the water she drank was not water, but... reiryoku!!!

Hui, could directly condense reiryoku???

This thought arose in her mind, and Unohana's gaze towards Hui changed.

This was simply too incredible, well she souldn't be this surprised since he had controlled reiryoku to attack them at the soul society.

"It seems that Captain Unohana is quite satisfied with this cherry blossom tea."

Hui said with a smile. 

This was the "tea" he had just created, with a technique that directly condensed reiryoku into a tangible form.

You can think of it as the spiritual liquid formed by the condensation of spiritual energy in the world of cultivation.

"As expected of Mr. Mochizuki, this cherry blossom tea is the most unique and best-tasting tea I've ever had."

Unohana's words made Yoruichi roll her eyes.

In her opinion, this was just Unohana's flattery. 

This cherry blossom tea was probably just like ordinary water with a flower peta floating above it, without any taste at all.

"I'm glad you like it. Is there something you need, Captain Unohana, since you suddenly visited today?"

Hui got straight to the point. 

He looked into Unohana's eyes, truly curious about her intentions.

Hearing this, Yoruichi also looked at Unohana.

She was equally curious as to why the Captain of the Fourth Division of the Gotei 13 would come to find Hui alone, and why Hui called her an acquaintance.

Also... Unohana's hairstyle had unchanged for centuries, how had it suddenly changed?

Although her current situation was like a prisoner, or rather, a pet, Yoruichi was still a woman, and a lively one at that. 

A gossipy heart was inevitable.

Unohana took another sip of tea, then put down the cup, looked at Hui seriously, and said, "Under Captain-Commander Yamamoto's orders, I came to gather information on Mr. Mochizuki."

As she comprehended this words, Yoruichi was left dumbfounded.
