Chapter 591

Hueco Mundo. 

Jugram looked at this barren land with an expressionless face.

He didn't know Aizen's exact location, only that Aizen was currently the lord of Hueco Mundo, somewhere within this realm.

But that didn't matter.

Finding someone could be either very simple or very difficult. Before finding that person, no one could know whether the process would be simple or challenging.

Since that was the case, he would try a different approach.

Instead of searching for someone else, he would make the person he wanted to find appear before him voluntarily.

To accomplish this, he first needed to attract attention and become a focal point.

For others, this might not be simple, as this was Hueco Mundo. To become a focal point here required tremendous power.

But for Jugram, it was a simple matter.

He walked along his path without actively doing anything special. Simply killing all the Hollows that attacked him was enough to achieve his goal.

"Who are you?"

Grimmjow asked gravely as he looked at Jugram.

He could clearly sense Jugram's strength, not only from watching him continuously slaughter powerful Hollows but also from Jugram's calm and composed demeanor.

"A traveler from a distant place, here to find a Shinigami named Sōsuke Aizen."

Jugram spoke without concealing his purpose, there was no need to.

"Looking for Lord Aizen? That's... quite an arrogant statement."

Grimmjow said. Though indomitable and self-confident by nature, he still showed some "respect" for Aizen, at least on the surface.

"Is that so? What of it..."

Jugram replied, then looked at Grimmjow and continued.

"Judging by your appearance, you must be quite a significant figure in Hueco Mundo. Do you think if I killed you, Aizen would come to meet me?"

His tone was calm, yet it contained a piercing killing intent.

Grimmjow was momentarily stunned by these words, then looked at Jugram with rising anger.

This mysterious figure before him wasn't taking him seriously at all, casually deciding his life or death with just a few words.

This infuriated Grimmjow. He was one of the Espada, and though only the Sexta Espada, he was still among the most elite beings in all of Hueco Mundo.

He had never been looked down upon like this.

"Kill me? Hahahahaha, what ridiculous words, truly absurd!

"I am an Espada!

"You think you can kill me just because you say so? You're too arrogant, boy!

"It should be me killing you instead!!!"

Grimmjow spoke with increasing frenzy, eventually shouting as he charged toward Jugram, wielding his Zanpakutō, Pantera.

Facing Grimmjow's attack, Jugram's expression didn't change at all. 

To him, Grimmjow's strength was simply too pathetic to warrant serious attention.

With a few casual movements, Jugram dodged Grimmjow's attacks while speaking:

"Is this all the power you have? You call yourself an Espada, but what does that even mean in Hueco Mundo?

"If the so-called Espada represent the highest combat power in Hueco Mundo, then Hueco Mundo's strength is truly disappointing.

"Then perhaps the so-called King of Hueco Mundo isn't as worthy of my personal visit as I had imagined."

Jugram's words infuriated Grimmjow even more, but they also made him increasingly wary.

Because this mysterious figure was truly powerful.

After another failed attack, Grimmjow retreated and looked at the composed Jugram with a grave expression.

"Who exactly are you, and why have you come here?"

He asked, having sensed from Jugram's earlier words that he had come with a purpose, a purpose clearly focused on Aizen.

"You don't need to know that. Your only mission is to either make Sōsuke Aizen come to me voluntarily or take me to him."

Jugram replied, showing absolute disregard for Grimmjow.

"Hehehehe, if you want to find Lord Aizen, you'll have to take me seriously first! Grind, Pantera!"

Grimmjow pointed his Zanpakutō at Jugram and called out its release command.

After his Zanpakutō's release, Grimmjow transformed into a streamlined humanoid form.

Grimmjow's Zanpakutō disappeared as his body transformed into a white panther. 

His eye markings extended to his temples, his ears became panther ears, and his hair grew to waist length. His mask fragment moved to his forehead.

His entire body was covered in white, form-fitting armor. 

A segmented tail with a black tip extended from his back. His limbs ended in black, with long manes and sharp claws growing out, along with razor-sharp fangs.

After transforming, Grimmjow roared at Jugram, the sound waves of his roar carrying considerable power.

Yet in Jugram's eyes, this was still not impressive.

"So you're just a beast. No wonder I couldn't see any intelligence in you."

Jugram's mockery nearly made Grimmjow lose his mind.

He lunged fiercely at Jugram.

Gara de ra Pantera!!!

In an instant, Grimmjow's claws created two massive blue light marks that rapidly shot toward Jugram.

This was Grimmjow's signature technique after his release. 

These immensely powerful claws with their overwhelming attack power and pressure had completely torn apart countless opponents.

This time, he wanted to use his prized technique to tear apart this mysterious figure who had looked down on him from the beginning and never took him seriously!

However, Grimmjow still greatly underestimated Jugram. He had no idea who his opponent was or how powerful he truly was.

Compared to Jugram, Grimmjow was truly no different from an ant.
