Chapter 653 Grimmjow: Are you His Majesty's grandson?
Chapter 653 Grimmjow: Are you His Majesty's grandson?
Ichigo went to ask the Gotei 13 for someone, but Squad Zero and the Gotei 13 were actually two organizations. The people in charge of both sides had no control over each other, and they had no direct means of communication.
The captain-general was also very angry when he knew about this, but Orihime was not a god of death, nor was she his subordinate. She was just a human being. Besides, she was only two days late. He couldn't just run up and fight with Squad Zero.
In addition, there are many things happening in Soul Society, and he has been overwhelmed in the past few days just dealing with the matter of the Central 46th Room. Therefore, he said that he would wait for another ten days. If Squad Zero still did not release the people, he would go up personally to ask for an explanation for Ichigo Kurosaki.
But Ichigo Kurosaki was an impatient man. He felt that the purpose of Squad Zero was unclear, and the longer they delayed, the more danger Inoue would be in, so he wanted to go and rescue him himself.
This was a big problem, so he asked several Death God captains who he thought were reliable, but they all just looked at him with surprised expressions, saying that it was impossible for outsiders to enter the Soul King Palace.
Not to mention Ichigo Kurosaki, even if it was the captain-general, it would be quite troublesome if he wanted to break into the Soul King Palace without Wang Jian, and it would be impossible for an ordinary Shinigami to do it.
Ichigo Kurosaki was anxious and desperate, because his injuries had healed completely, so he returned to the human world to ask the store manager Urahara, who he thought had great powers.
But Manager Urahara said that indeed no one could break into the Soul King Palace by force, and it would be impossible for him to go in without the permission of Squad Zero.
When Ichigo was at a loss, Urahara said that perhaps there was someone who knew how to enter the Soul King Palace and might be willing to help him.
When asked, the answer given by Urahara was still the man named Lu Li.
With mixed feelings, Ichigo could only ask Manager Urahara to let him go to Hueco Mundo.
In fact, at the beginning he wanted to be a personal hero and go to Hueco Mundo alone. He also wondered if he could ask his master to train him again and tell him the way to the Soul King Palace so that he wouldn't have to trouble his master to help him deal with Squad Zero.
But just when he was about to sneak away, his friends inexplicably appeared in Urahara's shop. From Urahara's smirk, it was known that he had notified the others, and even Rukia rushed over from Soul Society.
"Ichigo, Hueco Mundo is very dangerous. If there is an error in the transmission, you may be killed by the Hollow before you can even see your master, so you need the help of your partners."
These are what Manager Urahara said.
So Ichigo had no choice but to take everyone to Hueco Mundo.
Swah——
As they were thinking, a spiritual pressure like a rain curtain descended from the sky, making Ichigo and others feel uncomfortable instinctively.
Only Ichigo, who now knows Bankai, feels a little better, while the others have already started to feel their skeletal muscles trembling.
"Wow, what a strange lineup, humans and the God of Death?"
A voice sounded in front, and on the sandstone, under the gray moon, a blue-haired man was sitting.
His chest was open and his whole temperament was a bit like a bad boy, but because of his handsome face and fashionable hairstyle, people thought he was a handsome guy at first glance.
"Arrancar!?"
Ichigo looked at the blue-haired man in front of him with doubt. He had been given general knowledge before he came here.
He knew that the Hollows he had dealt with in the past were not considered strong among the Hollows, and the strongest was only the lower-level Great Hollow Killian. In fact, the strength of Achukas should not be underestimated, and if these Hollows could become Arrancar, their strength would increase exponentially.
Just by the spiritual pressure emanating from the other party, he felt that the opponent in front of him was immeasurably powerful and he was afraid that he was no match for him.
Ichigo subconsciously protected everyone behind him, holding Zangetsu in both hands, ready for battle.
"Oh? You know I'm an Arrancar. You're not that ignorant, Shinigami."
Grimmjow jumped down from the sandstone, put his hands in his pockets, and slowly walked towards Ichigo and the others, thinking about how to start today's massacre.
"I'm not here to fight. I want to come here to find my master. He should be your friend, right?"
Ichigo said nervously, he didn't want to fight with the powerful enemy in front of him for no reason.
"Your master?"
Grimmjow tilted his head, "Boy, you've come to the wrong place. This is Hueco Mundo. How can there be a master of the god of death? If you want to beg for mercy, you have to make up a reliable reason, right?"
"Ichigo, this guy... this guy's spiritual pressure..."
Ishida Uryuu also had sweat on his forehead, "Is this really the spiritual pressure that a Hollow can have?"
He had clearly become stronger under Senior Lu's training, but he still felt so much pressure when facing the Arrancar in front of him, which was nothing compared to the Hollows he had killed in the past.
"Oh? I smell something unpleasant, a Quincy?"
Grimmjow stared at Ishida with a murderous smile on his face, "He's worth killing."
Ishida instantly felt the pressure load on him. He originally thought that he already had the strength of a captain, but in the battle in Soul Society, he was taught a lesson by a vice-captain.
Only after arriving in Hueco Mundo did he realize his own worth.
"Ishida, control your breath and don't do anything."
Ichigo said seriously, and then quickly spoke to Grimmjow, "My master is Lu Li, have you met him?"
Grimmjow, who was about to start killing, paused and his sharp fingertips stopped in front of Ishida's forehead, making Ishida break out in a cold sweat. The attacks of the others were also ready to go.
Grimmjow's expression was uncertain as he looked Ichigo up and down, "Your Majesty, would you have a grandson as weak as you?"
Ichigo felt mixed emotions upon hearing this. He was first surprised at the other party's respect for calling him "Master", and then he was surprised that he said he was too weak.
"He is a disciple, not a grandson."
After Ishida took a step back to avoid Grimmjow's sharp edge, he helped correct the other party's mistake in wording.
"We didn't lie to you. If it's true, take us to Xuye Palace and we'll find out."
Rukia was also very smart. Seeing Grimmjow's suspicious face, she quickly added some explanation.
"cut……"
Grimmjow seemed a little regretful. "I thought I had encountered some interesting prey. Come with me..."
As he spoke, his voice became deep and terrifying. "But you must know that if you dare to lie to me, I will make you die miserably."
Ichigo and the others felt a palpitation in the powerful spiritual pressure of Grimmjow, and nodded repeatedly to show that they were not lying.
Grimmjow turned around and led the way, walking in front. Because there was a breeze, everyone could see the number on the back of Grimmjow's waist when his shirt was lifted up - 5.
"This is..." Ichigo was a little curious, but he didn't know how to ask. After all, they were not that familiar with each other and they just wanted to kill each other.
But Grimmjow seemed to be very proud of his identity as an Espada. Seeing that Ichigo noticed his number, he took the initiative to introduce himself: "I am the 50th Espada, Grimmjow!"
"Ten Blades?"
Ichigo was a little shocked when he heard this, "So, there are nine more Hollows as powerful as you!?"
He suddenly remembered that the Hollows who came to pick up his master that day were all Arrancar. They looked almost the same as humans and their spiritual pressure was extremely powerful.
Even though he was already far away at that time, the opponent's spiritual pressure that evenly covered the entire Soul Society sky still made him feel suffocated.
He thought that was all the Arrancar in Hueco Mundo, but he didn't expect that there were other Arrancar here, and in his opinion, they were equally powerful.
"It seems that your master is really ambitious. The Soul Society has the Thirteenth Court Guard Squadron, so he formed the Ten Espada."
Rukia complained quietly in Ichigo's ear, but no matter how quiet her voice was, it couldn't escape the cheetah's ears.
Grimmjow heard what Rukia said and turned around with an angry and arrogant expression on his face, "Ah? The Gotei 13? How can a rubbish Shinigami be compared with us, the Espada!?"
Grimmjow was proud of his identities as an Espada and a Hollow, and had always been dissatisfied with the Shinigami camp. However, his words did not sound so good to Ichigo and the others.
Especially for Rukia Kuchiki, who is a member of the Gotei corps, she would be angry when she heard the Hollow say that the Gotei 13 were rubbish.
Chad and Ishida have personally experienced the power of the Gotei 13 and have been defeated by the captain and vice-captain. They believe that the strong men in the Gotei 13 are no ordinary people.
After being defeated by a strong person, anyone would feel uncomfortable if they heard from another person that the strong person was trash.
"Grimmjow, I admit that you are very powerful, but there are also strong ones among the captains of the Gotei 13 who are strong enough to rival you."
Rukia's words were rather tactful, and Ichigo had no intention of arguing on the topic.
The main reason is that he doesn't have a very good impression of the Gotei 13 now. They convicted Rukia for no reason and expelled his master. Although Squad Zero does not belong to the Gotei 13, Inoue was taken away and did not come back this time, which also made him have some opinions about the Gotei 13.
In addition, Ichigo watched his master's fight under the execution platform throughout the whole process. Seeing his master kill a team leader with one sword, he inexplicably felt that the team leaders did not seem to be very strong either.
"Huh? A rubbish Shinigami can rival me?"
Grimmjow's face was filled with displeasure. If Ichigo hadn't said that he was his Majesty's disciple, he would have probably already started killing people. "Even if there are people who can fight me, they will only be crushed by the Ten Espadas above me."
At this time, Ichigo and the others remembered that the opponent was only the 50th Espada. According to the principle that the earlier the number, the stronger it is, doesn't it mean that there are four more Hollows who are more powerful than Grimmjow in front of them?
Moreover, Grimmjow is a very arrogant guy at first glance. He actually admitted that he is weaker than the first four Espadas. There must be a huge gap between them.
If the 50th Espada, Grimmjow, is so strong, then wouldn't the first four Espadas be extremely powerful?
Furthermore, no matter how you think about it, the "Your Majesty" they were talking about seemed to be referring to Lu Li, right?
Ichigo and the others were in shock, for a moment they had no idea how strong Lu Li was based on the box stacking theory.
For a moment, everyone put out their anger, silenced by Grimmjow's words.
Everyone hurried on their way quietly, and under the leadership of Grimmjow, they arrived at the Kyomyaku Palace not long after.
Ichigo and the others were very surprised to see this magnificent building, especially after entering it, they saw some Arrancars wearing decent clothes, doing the work that court staff should do.
Some were trimming the flowers and plants, some were serving tea and food, and people of various functions were all doing their work here quietly and orderly.
This completely overturned everyone's impression of the Hollows, especially Ichigo, who thought his master ran to the Hueco Mundo to live a homeless life. Who knew that his master actually enjoyed himself so much! ?
This was truly a life like that of an emperor, living in a huge palace and having so many virtual servants. Kurosaki Ichigo even felt that he had worried about his master in vain.
"Grimmjow, I don't think I gave you the authority to bring humans in and out of the Palace of Night at will, right?"
Just as everyone was looking around like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, a cold voice sounded in the corridor on the side of the garden, making everyone feel inexplicably nervous.
Not only that, Kurosaki Ichigo was shocked to see that Grimmjow's body stiffened for a moment, and he was obviously quite afraid of the person who was speaking.
They turned around and saw a handsome black-haired man in a white Xuye Palace uniform standing in the corridor with one hand in his pocket.
"It's him……"
Ichigo Kurosaki reacted quickly and recognized the other person, "It's the Hollow who came to save Master that day!"
"Hey, hey...are you kidding me..."
Ishida Uryu had the best perception ability, and when the black-haired man was intimidating Grimmjow, he also targeted them.
Yulong only felt that the dark and deep spiritual pressure was so strong that it was about to block his throat, making him feel nauseous and want to retch.
It's not even on the same level!
Even such a powerful Hollow is a subordinate of Kurosaki's master?
"Ulquiorra..."
Grimmjow's face didn't look very good either. He admitted that he couldn't beat the opponent, but that didn't mean he would obey.
In his opinion, Ulquiorra's strength was not as strong as Aizen and His Majesty, which made him despair and convinced.
"Answer my question, what's going on with these humans and the Grim Reaper?"
Ulquiorra's eyes were cold as he glanced at Ichigo and the others, "There's even a Quincy."
He placed one hand on the hilt of the knife, "Based on your answer, I will decide whether you live or die."
He hated the Grim Reaper and the Quincy because the latter had brought fatal danger to Mr. Lu, and the former had expelled and discredited Mr. Lu.
Under Ulquiorra's powerful spiritual pressure and murderous aura, Grimmjow finally chose not to confront him. Before the sweat on his forehead appeared, he said, "This kid said he was your majesty's disciple, so I brought him here to verify it."
"Oh?"
Ulquiorra's eyes were on Kurosaki Ichigo, and the next moment, he moved suddenly, appearing in front of Ichigo without anyone noticing.
"How could such a weak guy be Mr. Lu's disciple?"
Ulquiorra's spiritual pressure pressed towards Ichigo, causing him to instantly break out in a sweat and feel as if he was falling into an icy cave.
Just when Ichigo and the others thought they were about to be killed, a gentle and familiar voice sounded.
"Xiao Wu, although he is very weak, he is indeed my disciple."
Hearing this voice, Ulquiorra retracted his spiritual pressure.
Grimmjow also turned around suddenly and knelt on one knee respectfully, "Your Majesty."
