Chapter 459: Black Zaki Ichigo, Targeted by the Beast
Chapter 459: Black Zaki Ichigo, Targeted by the Beast
The betrayal of Nightshade City raises suspicions, and the deliberate targeting of the 9th Division Captain, Genryusho Tsozen, makes him an extremely suspicious figure.
When Shui Fen personally led her team to investigate the 9th Division, they discovered that their captain, Tsozen, had indeed gone missing without a trace.
With the "Traveling Troublemakers" invading the Soul Society, the 9th Division's Vice-Captain, Kashiwagi Shuhei, is currently leading a team to capture Black Zaki Ichigo and his group. However, instead of commanding the operation, Captain Tsozen has disappeared at this critical moment, which is highly unreasonable.
Tsozen's disappearance has caused Shui Fen to furrow her brows. She already had her suspicions about him, and his sudden vanishing only deepens her doubts.
On the other side, since Black Zaki Ichigo's squad entered Seireitei, they have been cutting through the ranks, even defeating several Shinigami captains and vice-captains one after another.
Armed with an upgraded Zanpakuto, Black Zaki Ichigo holds Fourth Division's Hanatarou hostage, and together with Zhi Bo Yanyou, they dash through Seireitei, seemingly forgetting the initial instructions from Yecheng Yi and Koetsu to keep a low profile.
"Ichigo, what should we do? We're backed into a corner!"
Zhi Bo Yanyou's face is filled with worry as he looks at the dead-end ahead and the approaching Gotei 13 Shinigami.
To gather information about Nightshade City, Koetsu eventually sent her younger brother, Zhi Bo Yanyou, to assist Black Zaki Ichigo's group.
Although she didn't inform her foolish younger brother about their relationship with Black Zaki Ichigo, due to Ichigo's charismatic personality and their similar personalities, Zhi Bo Yanyou quickly became close friends with Ichigo.
"Yanyou, you go ahead. You're from the Tsu Family, right? If you're caught, it'll be difficult for the Tsu Family."
Ichigo glances at his hostage, Hanatarou, and then at Zhi Bo Yanyou beside him. With a sense of loyalty, he lets Yanyou leave first while he stays behind to cover their retreat.
To be honest, although they've been driven to a dead end, Black Zaki Ichigo isn't overly anxious.
Throughout their journey, he has realized that the so-called "Gotei 13" isn't as formidable as he had imagined.
Perhaps the previous intimidating presence of Nightshade City and Bakudo had set the bar too high, causing Black Zaki Ichigo and his group to believe that the Soul Society's Shinigami were all formidable opponents before entering Seireitei.
After all, they are graduates of a prestigious university (Sokyoku Spiritual Academy), while he is from a less reputable institution (a self-taught background).
But when Black Zaki Ichigo entered Seireitei with a mix of nervousness and anticipation, he was surprised to find that the so-called "Gotei 13" wasn't as impressive as he had thought.
Apart from a bald-headed fighter named Haneko Ichigo, the rest of them were basically just cannon fodder.
"Don't worry, they're not a formidable foe for me.
The Gotei 13 is just a large group, and it won't take long for me to catch up with you."
Hearing Black Zaki Ichigo's bold words, the Eleventh Division's gay squad members who had been chasing after them became extremely displeased. They asserted that their Eleventh Division was the strongest combat division among the Gotei 13, not on the same level as the other flower vase divisions.
"The strongest combat division? If that's the case, are Nightshade City and Rukia Byakuya also from your division?"
They claimed to be the strongest division within the Gotei 13, and so far, the strongest opponents Ichigo had faced were Nightshade City and Byakuya. It was only natural for him to assume they were members of this division.
Upon hearing the names of the Sixth Division Captain and the Thirteenth Division's Third Seat from Ichigo Kurosaki, the Eleventh Division's members, who were mostly muscular men, suddenly displayed anger and shouted, "Damn it! How dare this guy look down on our Eleventh Division!"
"Brothers, let's get him together and chop him into mincemeat!"
Ichigo, who was unfamiliar with the Gotei 13, didn't understand why the muscular men were suddenly enraged, but he tightened his grip on his Zanpakuto, ready for a fight.
Just as the muscular men of the Eleventh Division were about to pounce, an excited male voice rang out from the back of the crowd.
Soon, the muscular men, with looks of admiration, moved to the sides, making way for a tall man with black hedgehog-like hair, bells tied to the ends of his hair, and a loli standing on his shoulder. He appeared before Ichigo.
"What you said just now, I agree with, but it's not entirely correct.
The Gotei 13 is indeed full of boring guys, but there are a few worth fighting. Just like the one you mentioned, Nightshade and Rukia Byakuya."
"Looks like you're the traveler who defeated Haneko Ichigo. I've been looking for you for a while. Come, let's have a good fight!"
Kurosaki Zangetsu looked at Ichigo Kurosaki with excitement and madness in his eyes, revealing a sense of joy as if he had found his prey.
To be honest, Zangetsu's initial target was Nightshade, as he had also heard the news of Nightshade's "betrayal" of the Soul Society.
Whether Nightshade truly betrayed them or not didn't matter to Zangetsu; the key was that this was a rare opportunity to have a reasonable fight with an opponent.
Unfortunately, Nightshade, that bastard, had completely hidden his spiritual pressure after the last time Zangetsu tracked him down.
Unable to find Nightshade, Zangetsu happened to encounter the defeated Haneko Ichigo and learned of Ichigo Kurosaki's existence, which piqued his interest.
Since he couldn't find Nightshade, this "main dish," for now, fighting this traveler would be a decent choice.
Looking at Zangetsu before him, it wasn't just his tall stature that impressed Ichigo, but the sheer aura emanating from him made Ichigo realize that the man standing before him was on a completely different level from any character he had encountered before.
However, the opponent's strength didn't intimidate Ichigo; he had come a long way, and he was determined!
Ichigo had already defeated numerous Shinigami from the Gotei 13, and now he was strong; he wouldn't lose to anyone!
With unwavering conviction, Ichigo gripped his Zanpakuto tightly and charged towards Zangetsu.
As Ichigo swung his Zanpakuto at Zangetsu without hesitation, Zangetsu didn't show fear; instead, he revealed a satisfied smile.
However, Ichigo, who was confident in himself, was soon stunned by what happened before him, almost falling into a state of shock.
To his surprise, his opponent didn't dodge his strike, and Zangetsu indeed landed on the opponent's shoulder.
But what shocked Ichigo was that when his Zanpakuto hit the opponent, the opponent was completely unharmed!
His massive Zanpakuto, swung with full force, couldn't even break through the opponent's defense!
