The effects of the Hogyoku in Chapter 100 are now fully foreshadowed.

The effects of the Hogyoku in Chapter 100 are now fully foreshadowed.

It's quite bizarre, really. After Vegapunk joined Beltz, he never failed in any experiment he conducted.

He and Beltz originally expected to complete their research on lineage factors within a few years.

With Rukia by his side, his experiments progressed at lightning speed.

The Hogyoku's ability is to read a person's inner desires and then fulfill them, provided that the person already possesses the ability to do so.

It's essentially speeding up a process.

Vegapunk happened to be a huge beneficiary.

All the experiments he is currently conducting can be said to be ones that he will be able to design independently in the future.

Vegapunk's inner desires were incredibly strong.

The stronger the wishes of those around you, the more actively the Hogyoku will read them.

If this continues, Vegapunk might be able to complete the research on the bloodline factor, which originally required another ten years, in less than a year!

This is certainly good news for Beltz.

The Hogyoku, that's really a wonderful thing.

Beltz was genuinely envious.

This thing can truly be described as divine power.

After placing Rukia in Hueco Mundo, he went to search for the Shinigami.

The Gotei 13 formed an investigation team, primarily to search for traces of the World Government.

Beltz thought for a moment. He was ordered to come out this time to find the World Government, so he couldn't end up with nothing, could he?

It seems we need to give them some clues at this crucial moment.

There's no rush right now.

For people in the world of Bleach, a year or two is a very short time.

Let them search for another ten years or so, and then they can provide some clues.

He transformed into a blue dragon and flew through the skies of Hueco Mundo.

His ostentatious flight was so conspicuous that even the Hollows in Hueco Mundo couldn't stand it anymore. Many wanted to hunt him down, but none could break through his dragon scale defenses.

After beltz killed them, he continued flying and found a team of Death Gods in just one day.

You guys are the ones!

Beltz sped up and flew over.

The one who came to Hueco Mundo to investigate was Isshin Shiba, the captain of the 10th Division of the Gotei 13.

Shiba Isshin led the 10th Division's Shinigami as they wandered aimlessly across the vast desert.

"Captain, when will this search ever end?"

Rangiku followed behind, fanning herself with her hand in annoyance, and said, "I'm starting to miss the team's files."

"You just want to slack off, don't you?" Isshin said, somewhat speechless. "I haven't even told your captain that he needs to rest yet."

--------------

"Hehe, I just think it's not a good idea to leave all the team work to Toshiro, is it?"

"It's not like you'll be helping Toshiro with his paperwork when you get back." Isshin once again mercilessly exposed Rangiku's true colors, which made the latter somewhat embarrassed and angry: "Captain, you're the one who takes your work the least seriously!"

"But this time—" Isshin thought of the five giant monsters from back then, and the black shadow that finally merged together, and his expression darkened.

"This is not a time for jokes."

The Seireitei has been attacked by an unknown enemy; they can't possibly take this calmly.

"Everyone in the team has almost recovered." Rangiku saw Isshin's expression and became much more serious. She comforted him, "Captain, you don't need to worry too much."

Im used the Dark Domination technique in the Soul Society, turning many Grim Reapers into demons.

However, after some time has passed, Mayuri Kurotsuchi has developed a special medicine. The Shinigami who were injected with the medicine have slowly reverted from their demonic transformation. However, it is still unclear whether there are any aftereffects, so they need to be observed for a period of time before they can move freely.

"That's not what I'm worried about, I'm—"

As he spoke, he suddenly looked up and said, "Rangiku, prepare for battle!"

"Eh? Yes!"

Rangiku also gripped the sword at her waist, and the next moment she saw a gigantic creature flying in from the distant sky—

Azure Dragon?!

"This is----"

Thinking of Ukitake's report, he exclaimed in surprise, "That Great Hollow that suddenly appeared in the Soul Society back then?"

'

"That looks a bit strange," Rangiku remarked. "Why isn't there a mask on her face? And where's Hollow Hollow?"

When it appeared in the Soul Society before, it only stayed for a very short time; it could be said that it just appeared, swallowed Rukia whole, and then left.

So at that time, the ordinary Shinigami couldn't see it very clearly, but now that Rangiku and Isshin have seen it, they can tell that something is wrong.

Hollow holes are somewhat easier to identify. Although most Hollow holes are located in the chest, in obvious places, some Hollow holes are located in hidden areas, making them difficult for outsiders to find.

However, all the void creatures have masks on their faces, and the positions of the masks are fixed, but this blue dragon does not have a mask on its face.

But the feeling it gives is definitely an ethereal spiritual pressure.

When Beltz appeared, he used his psychological skills to make the two of them feel like they were fake; this kind of psychological suggestion is quite easy to do.

Because of the influence of the previous report from the Thirteenth Division, the two of them originally considered themselves as Hollows.

This is the first impression hidden in the mind.

Even if they discover that they don't have a mask on their face, they will only consider themselves as a special kind of virtual.

"Was it the one that ate Rukia?"

Isshin said in a deep voice, "Rangiku, don't make a move, I'll take care of him!"

Isshin actually knows Rukia.

After all, Rukia used to have a good relationship with her nephew, Shiba Kaien.

Furthermore, Rukia, covered in blood and with a sinister expression, carried Kaien's corpse to the Shiba family, saying things like, "I killed Lord Kaien." It would be difficult for the Shiba family not to recognize her.

Actually, he already knew about Kaien's situation from Ukitake and knew the whole story, so he didn't blame Rukia.

It's just that Rukia herself can't forgive herself.

And now, this monster has actually eaten Rukia!

"grim Reaper!"

Beltz feigned anger and said, "That wretched Grim Reaper again! Last time the one escaped, but this time, I'll devour you all!"

What?

Isshin, who was about to swing his sword, froze for a moment and quickly asked, "The last Shinigami? You mean Rukia?"

Dragon's Breath!

boom!

Beltz unleashed a burst of dragon breath, and a blazing fireball blasted towards Shiba Isshin.

puff!

With a single, focused strike, he shattered the dragon's breath that was hurtling downwards!

His expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Hey, Dragon-shaped Great Void, I have a question for you!"

"If you answer honestly, I'll spare your life!"

"Damn Grim Reaper!" Beltz manipulated the wind to attack Shiba Isshin again, condensing a large number of wind blades.

puff!

Yixin easily blocked the wind blade.

"It seems you won't listen unless I use some tricks."

He instantly flew into the sky and slashed at Beltz, who was soaring through the air!

puff!

A huge gash appeared on Beltz's body!

Fresh blood gushed directly from the wound!

The dragon form is Beltz's weakest form. Not to mention him, even Kaido in his dragon form is just a punching bag.

Therefore, the dragon form is also known as the "getting beaten up" form.

Moreover, Beltz came here on purpose to get beaten up.

With that one strike, it was as if he had cut a major artery; blood gushed out as if it were free.

Beltz thought to himself, "No wonder he's the protagonist's father; his strength is terrifying."

Isshin's strength is extremely powerful.

In another ten years or so, he was able to fight against Hollow White even with his spiritual pressure limited to one-fifth of its original strength due to the seal.

After regaining his Shinigami powers, he was able to push Aizen to his Shinigami limits.

Although Aizen had fought the captain repeatedly at that time, being hit by Yamamoto's Ichigo's Getsuga Tensho in the chest and being weakened considerably.

But no matter how weak it gets, it still possesses strength that surpasses that of an average captain!

The fact that Isshin was able to push Aizen to his limit in that state already proves his strength.

Having taken that blow, Beltz truly felt his body burning.

"Can you answer my question now?"

"Damn Shinigami—" Beltz said angrily, "I'm asking you, didn't you swallow a female Shinigami before?" Ignoring Beltz, I simply asked, "Yes, I did, so what?"

"and then?"

"Hmph, that thing suddenly unleashed a powerful force for some reason, almost freezing my stomach. I had no choice but to vomit it up."

Beltz said, "But don't even think about finding her. There are countless Hollows in Hueco Mundo stronger than me. Even if she becomes stronger, she won't be able to survive in Hueco Mundo."

"Stop talking nonsense." Yixin said, "This is none of your business, go on!"

Isshin did not kill the Hollow.

Because the Grim Reaper's duty is not to kill Hollows.

The duty of Shinigami is to maintain the balance of the three realms, not simply to kill Hollows. In critical moments, they not only cannot kill Hollows, but they also have to protect them from being killed.

Only the most naive Shinigami would think that killing Hollows is a Shinigami's duty.

Not to mention that Isshin is still a member of the Shiba family.

The Shiba family's ancestral motto is "Even the seemingly insignificant have a heart," so naturally they don't have much killing intent towards the seemingly insignificant.

Since he promised not to kill it, Yixin naturally wouldn't take action.

He had heard good news from this empty mouth, and that was enough for him.

He needs to tell Ukitake and Kuchiki this news; they should be very happy.

Rukia is very likely still alive!

There are still too few of them; we need to bring in more Death Gods!

Watching Shiba Isshin and Rangiku walk away, Beltz stopped pretending.

In that case, I guess we've laid the groundwork.

They shouldn't be too surprised when Rukia reappears later.

Okay, let's go find Rukia!

Then return to the world of One Piece and wait for Vegapunk to complete his research!
