Chapter 491: Masked Army? More Like a Gathering of Oddballs?
Chapter 491: Masked Army? More Like a Gathering of Oddballs?
"Baldy, if he refuses you, why not just kidnap him directly?"
Upon hearing Mako's words, Yachiru Kusajishi, who was beside him, immediately jumped onto the table, ready to take on the task.
"Idiot Yachiru, I already told you he's always accompanied by a Kuchiki Clan Shinigami!"
Moreover, that Shinigami named Lucia is a member of the Thirteenth Division. Are you planning to fight the Gotei 13 before taking on Aizen?
Have you forgotten what I just said about the so-called 'Espada'? Recently, the Soul Society dispatched an investigation team led by a captain, consisting of vice-captain-level officers. They are currently stationed in the Human World.
At this critical juncture, kidnapping Ichigo Kurosaki is no different from declaring war on them!"
Mako pressed down on the hat atop her head, serving as the leader and intelligence officer of the Masked Army. She had a good grasp of the members of the Soul Society's investigation team.
"Mako, from your serious expression, it seems there's a troublesome member within this investigation team?"
When Rojuro Otoribashi spoke, the other members of the Masked Army turned their attention to Mako.
To be honest, the current Masked Army is truly formidable, not inferior to the Shinigami of the Gotei 13. Even if the other side is an elite squad, the Masked Army is not intimidated.
Captains and vice-captains? Does that mean the Masked Army doesn't have them?
A century ago, they were also captains and vice-captains of the Gotei 13. After many years, they have now perfectly mastered Hollowfication, further enhancing their strength.
Yachiru and the others, although vice-captains, can match captains in terms of spiritual pressure once they enter their Hollowfied state.
Not to mention the investigation team is led by a Shinigami captain and consists of vice-captain-level officers. Even if the team were fully composed of six captains, the Masked Army would still face them without fear!
However, when it comes to this investigation team, the usually confident Mako shows such an expression, which can only mean one thing.
Within the Human World investigation team, there's a member that makes Mako wary and is beyond her expectations!
"As for the others, it's not a problem. This time, the Shinigami captain leading them is named Toshiro Hitsugaya, a genius who became a Shinigami less than a century ago.
The other vice-captain-level officers are also rising stars that emerged within this century. For us, they are all unfamiliar faces.
But Night God Night City, that guy is also a member of this team!"
Upon hearing Night City's name, the members of the Masked Army fell silent.
Among the defectors from the Soul Society in the past hundred years, the Shinigami they remember most, aside from Bluezenzo Sonosuke, is Night God Night City!
A decade ago, their Masked Army was full of fighting spirit, believing that their years of preparation had made them ready for revenge.
However, that night, they were annihilated by a single seated officer from the Thirteenth Division.
If it weren't for the timely appearance of Captain Commander Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto and the lack of obvious hostility from the other side, they might not even be standing here now.
A team consisting of four captains and four vice-captains, yet they were defeated by a single seated officer. It might sound like a fairy tale, but this is the truth!
It was after that battle that their Masked Army went into seclusion, and Night City's strength inevitably left a deep impression on their minds.
Looking at his silent companions, Hira also helplessly spread his hands and said, "Now you understand why I temporarily gave up on contacting Kurosaki Ichigo, right? According to Kurona and Yagi, Yecheng is not our enemy, but after what happened that night, we inevitably have some conflicts with them.
To avoid escalating the conflict and making the relationship even worse, we can only wait and see."
Hearing Hira's heartfelt speech, Yosiri pouted and interrupted with a hint of displeasure, "You're talking about considering the bigger picture, but in the end, you're just a bald coward..."
Before Yosiri could finish her sentence, her mouth was covered by an annoyed Hira, who added, "This time, Yagi brought back a lot of information from the Soul Society.
In short, that Yecheng is not only very strong but also a smart guy. If we can avoid making him an enemy, it's best to stay away."
While the 'Masked Army' was still in their war council, Ichigo had already arrived at the abandoned warehouse according to the address.
Seeing the dilapidated surroundings and the oddly dressed Hira and others gathered together, Ichigo was startled for a moment. Then, he turned to leave.
When Hira Mako had found him earlier, she had boasted about the 'Masked Army' and how impressive they were, and how excellent her companions were.
But what Kurosaki Ichigo had just seen was an abandoned warehouse as their so-called base, and those so-called 'excellent partners' were either delinquents, porn-loving glasses-wearing girls, an explosion-haired uncle, or a homeless artist.
Where were the talented people they had talked about? This was clearly a gathering of delinquents.
He couldn.t believe that he had once placed his hopes of becoming stronger in the hands of these people. Now, he felt like slapping himself for being so foolish.
Could these so-called 'Masked Army' members even come up with a thousand yen if they pooled all their resources?
"Isn't this Kurosaki Ichigo? It seems you've thought it through and decided to leave. But now that you're here, why are you leaving again?"
As Ichigo was about to turn and leave, Hira suddenly blocked his way with an astonishing flash step.
They had just been discussing how to recruit Ichigo, and now Kurosaki Ichigo had come to them.
Ichigo: "(▽｀) If I said I got lost and stumbled upon this place by accident, would you believe me?"
Hira's flash step speed was impressive, causing Ichigo to reevaluate him.
But when he saw the so-called 'Masked Army,' which consisted of delinquents, porn-loving girls, an explosion-haired uncle, and a homeless artist, without a single normal-looking person among them, he hesitated again...
"Hira, is this bald guy the one called Kuroda Juhachi or something? He seems to look down on us with his eyes. Move aside, I want to show him our strength!"
Everyone present was a veteran Shinigami with over a hundred years of experience, so they didn't miss the disdain in Kurosaki Ichigo's eyes earlier. Therefore, the hot-tempered Yosiri couldn't hold back and directly kicked at Kurosaki Ichigo with her flip-flop-clad feet!
Facing an attack from Yosiri, who looked like a delinquent herself, Ichigo didn't take it too seriously. He even worried about hurting her, so he only raised his hand to defend himself without any intention of counterattacking...
