Chapter 634: Why Are You Challenging That Monster in Yecheng!
Chapter 634: Why Are You Challenging That Monster in Yecheng!
As Ichigo, Sado, and Uryu, the trio of tough guys, arrived at Urahara's Shop, they found that there were already customers inside.
Yecheng, already donning the Captain's Haori with the character "Five" embroidered on the back, had also come to the Human World, accompanied by Hikasen To and Rukia.
When Ichigo and the others rushed over, Yecheng was in conversation with Kisuke Urahara.
Upon seeing Yecheng, Ichigo and his friends couldn't help but show their excitement.
Despite past conflicts and their dislike for Yecheng's unpleasant personality, they couldn't deny the strength of the man before them.
Weiji had an excellent relationship with Yecheng, and they were preparing to rescue her from Hueco Mundo. Having a powerful fighter like Yecheng on their side would undoubtedly make the mission much smoother.
"Yecheng, something terrible has happened! Weiji has been captured by that bastard Gin Ichimaru..."
Before Ichigo could finish his emotional statement, Yecheng interrupted him, "Regarding this matter, I was informed earlier than you. That's precisely why I'm here."
Hearing Yecheng's words, Ichigo and the others couldn't help but show their delight, knowing that Yecheng was always reliable in critical moments.
However, to their surprise, Yecheng continued, "The reason I'm here is to warn Kisuke Urahara not to let you rush into Hueco Mundo recklessly."
Seeing the puzzled expressions on Ichigo and the others' faces, and before they could speak, Yecheng explained, "With your current strength, rushing into Hueco Mundo is not a rescue mission but a suicide mission!
I'm not against your idea of saving Weiji, but before that, you need to achieve some growth.
There's no need to worry about Weiji's current situation. I have an informant in Hueco Mundo who can ensure her safety.
Moreover, considering Gin Ichimaru's stature and character, I don't think he'll harm Weiji."
Ichigo found Yecheng's words hard to accept and was about to argue with him.
However, Hikasen To and Rukia, standing behind Yecheng, stepped forward to stop Ichigo.
"Ichigo, calm down. Yecheng is right. He's doing this for your own good."
Rukia, having a good relationship with the group, not only stopped Ichigo but also explained the situation.
But Hikasen To was different. Although she was usually a bit timid, when it came to Yecheng, her stance became unwavering.
In terms of status, Ichigo Kurosaki, as a Substitute Shinigami, was merely an outsider Shinigami, ranking even lower than an average Gotei 13 Shinigami.
On the other hand, Yecheng was the Captain of the Fifth Division. It was unthinkable for an outsider to disobey orders and be so disrespectful.
In the Soul Society, a charge of "insubordination" could land someone in prison for a year or two.
"Not to mention Gin Ichimaru, but among the Espada, can you defeat Ulquiorra or Grimmjow?
Arrancars can perform 'Resurreccion', yet you, with all your strength, couldn't even defeat them in their base state. How can you save anyone in that condition?"
"Forget it. It's probably hard to convince you hot-blooded, impulsive teenagers with words alone.
Let's fight. All three of you can come at me together. If you can last five minutes against me, I'll agree to your request.
Kisuke Urahara, could you prepare the venue? It seems I need to calm these youngsters down."
Kisuke Urahara spread his hands, indicating there was no problem. After all, there was a massive training ground beneath his Purified Store, where Ichigo and the others had undergone special training before.
Ichigo, Chad, and Ishida exchanged glances and also assured him there was no issue.
Defeating Yecheng and the others was out of the question, even in a three-on-one scenario. However, if they could merely hold on for five minutes...
Soon, they found themselves in the underground space beneath Urahara's store, and what surprised Ichigo even more was that the people he knew from the Masked Army were also there!
Since their previous base had been destroyed in the battle with the rampaging Ichigo and Yecheng, the Masked Army members had been frequenting Urahara's place like parasites.
When they saw Ichigo and Yecheng arrive together, Hirako and the others were equally surprised.
Especially when they saw Yecheng wearing the Captain's Haori of the Fifth Division, Hiyori was merciless in her taunts towards Hirako, "Baldy, your Fifth Division has been taken over again."
"Shut up. I'm not even part of the Gotei 13 anymore. Whoever wants that position can have it. Don't make it seem like I'm the one who cares."
"And with Yecheng's strength, it would be strange if he wasn't a captain!"
As they were all old acquaintances, having cleared up their previous misunderstandings, the awkwardness between them had faded.
When Hirako and the others learned that Ichigo and the others were still challenging Yecheng, they couldn't help but show a sympathetic expression towards the three of them.
They still vividly remembered the spiritual pressure that erupted during Yecheng's battle with Rukia Koushiro not long ago.
To be honest, the reason they had been training so hard recently was largely to narrow the gap between them and Yecheng.
No matter how hard they tried, whenever they recalled that terrifying spiritual pressure that had once shaken all of Karakura Town, a deep sense of powerlessness would overwhelm them.
"Ichigo, if you have something on your mind, why challenge this monster? Isn't this just asking for a beating?"
Hirako, who was quite familiar with Ichigo, walked up to him and patted his shoulder, suggesting he reconsider.
He acknowledged that Kurosaki Ichigo had great potential and was a formidable opponent with a monster within him.
But it also depended on the opponent. Kurosaki Ichigo was strong, but it mattered who he was compared to. If compared to Yecheng's monster, Hirako even felt that the monster within Ichigo was quite amiable.
"I have my reasons, and if it's just five minutes, I think Chad and Ishida can do it!"
He had previously fought Yecheng's Zanpakuto, Higan, and if the spiritual pressure of the Zanpakuto was equivalent to that of a Shinigami, then Kurosaki Ichigo, relying on his Hollowfication, should be able to hold his own against Yecheng for five minutes without much problem.
Moreover, this time, besides himself, he also had his buddies Chad and Ishida, so their chances were high!
Seeing that his persuasion was futile, Hirako could only silently stand aside and watch, expressing that the boy knew nothing about true power.
Five minutes? If Yecheng unleashed the monster-level spiritual pressure he had shown in his battle with Rukia, these three Karakura Town residents wouldn't last even a minute!
