The fight between Ichigo and Byakuya on Sokyoku Hill causes destruction.
“What... What happened..”.
Renji, who took Rukia and took refuge back to Sokyoku Hill, but once he got there, his expression changed.
“This Sokyoku Hill?”
“Welcome back, Abarai.”
Right now, a soft voice appeared from behind Renji.
Renji's body stiffened as he heard that familiar voice, and cold sweat other than his body. He turned around to see who was behind him, and his eyes were shocked in surprise. He saw Aizen, the captain presumed dead, standing there.
“Put Rukia Kuchiki, and you can go.”
Aizen looked at Renji gently as he ordered.
However, Renji's mind almost overflows when he sees Aizen, who he knows is dead. What the hell is going on? Renji thought.
And right at that moment, he heard a voice transmission from Matsumoto, the Vice-Captain of the tenth division.
"It's..." Renji's eyes sparkled as he understood that what he was hearing now was true.
He took a deep breath and became very wary of Aizen: "I refuse, Captain Aizen."
"really? It's okay."
Aizen did not show any anger; instead, he smiled and took out his Zanapkuto: “You are the Hero, Abarai. Since you don't want to drop Rukia, don't blame me later.”
"Well, you'll leave your hand if you stand there."
Aizen's expression did not change, but a terrifying Spiritual Pressure was coming out of his body. It was even stronger than a captain releasing his Banka, which made Renji's face change.
Almost instantly, Renji's body was covered in wounds.
Far away from them, Gin looked at Renji with pity.
That kid is really pathetic. When he joined the academy, he met a monster like Roja, and before he came here, he fought Kurosaki Ichigo and Kuchiki Byakuya, and now he faced Aizen.
“You really grew strong, Abarai Renji, but be careful. I cannot control my power well. You might get crushed like an ant later.”
Aizen softly spoke, but his eyes were cold because he did not plan on showing mercy. He moved forward with his Kyoka Suigetsu, planning to complete this in one strike.
"Cong, Zubimaru!"
Renji roared, but he was still not Aizen's opponent.
But when Aizen's sword almost fell onto Renji's body, a defensive figure entered at high speed and blocked his attack. The figure is Kurosaki Ichigo who has just finished his fight with Byakuya.
"Sorry, I don't think it's good to kill him, so I'll let you through."
said Gin.
Aizen's sword still collided with Ichigo's sword, while he did not show any surprise or anything like that; instead, he said lightly, "Well, after all, they are too weak to cause trouble."
As Ichigo had not witnessed Kyoka Suigetsu's previous defeat, he was subjected to his illusions, but nevertheless, his strength was far from Aizen's. When Ichigo leaps forward to attack Aizen, his sword is stopped, and to his surprise, he is stopped by his two fingers.
Ichigo's face is wrinkled. He knew that he was weakened after fighting with Byakuya, but he still used his Bank.
The fight between himself and Zaraki has opened Ichigo's eyes to the importance of Spiritual pressure. If one party's spiritual pressure was stronger, it was almost impossible for the other party to win.
But he could still win against Zaraki in the end, which meant he had a stronger Spiritual Pressure, but now, Aizen had actually stopped his sword with just two fingers.
Ichigo, who panics as he summons up his every spiritual pressure, plans to use Getsuga Tensho while Aizen is still holding his sword. But Aizen didn't give him a chance. He pinched the sword with one hand and thrust his own hand into Ichigo's chest.
"As a human being, you're fine."
Aizen pulled the bloody Kyoka Suigetsu and turned around, ignoring the struggling Ichigo, then walked towards Rukia.
Rukia's eyes were full of fear. He could not even stand under Aizen's spiritual pressure, and saw his gentle, cold face pass through his spine.
Rukia even had trouble breathing at this time.
But suddenly, he felt that pressure was lifted from him when the strange, towering force arrived, making his discomfort disappear.
“…”
Rukia, who was struggling to get up from the ground, suddenly saw a familiar figure standing beside her.
"Are you okay?"
Roja gently pointed her finger at Rukia whose body started to float and arrived beside Roja before she fell to her feet, barely standing up.
Rukia. It was just one sensation after another. His heart is almost exploding now.
"I didn't expect you to come here so soon."
Aizen no longer looked soft. He looked serious, and instead his voice was low: "I don't think you'll save Rukia Kuchiki."
Roja smiled gently and put on Rukia's head and said: "I promised her to keep her safe, but let's stop ... You're here for Hogyoku, right?"
Hearing Roja's words, Aizen's face darkened slightly.
"I don't think you know Urahara Kisuke, did he tell you?"
"No, I guess."
Roja's hand passed through Rukia's cheek before arriving in front of her chest.
It's so small.
Roja gave a small review before the Spiritual pressure revolved around the palm and gently took out a Hogyoku.
Although he already knew where Hogyoku was, as his understanding of the small sphere was much greater than Aizen and Urahara, this was still the first time he held it personally.
"This is... Hogyoku."
Looking at the small ball in his hand, Roja's eyes were full of appreciation.
Without this incomplete little Orb, Roja would not be a Roja Ghost Sword or possess the Shinigami power or the Six Paths power.
Perhaps, without Sen Maboroshi, Roja would enjoy the scenery in One Piece and would be impossible to break through the world barrier. He will forever be in the One Piece World.
