Tracing the source begins with One Piece

A week has passed since the chaotic battle that took place at the Double Death Execution.

It's just that the "trauma" caused by that battle to Seireitei is far from being recovered.

If you look down from the heights of the Seireitei, you will see the character "人" in capital letters that spreads across the entire Seireitei. It is shockingly engraved on it, like a scarred black scar.

That is the immortal trace outlined by the shadow tide, the sea of ​​blood, and the wall of fire.

First team, team leader conference room.

Due to the defection of Aizen, Ichimaru Gin and Tosen Kaname of the Seireitei Division [-], only ten people were present in the conference room.

Among them are four wounded who have not yet fully recovered and are bandaged - Zaraki Kenpachi, Komamura Zuozhen, Kuchiki Byakuya, and Nirvana, who is in the nutrient tank device and has only one head.

As for Nirvana, if possible, he would rather stay in the secret basement of the [-]th Division to wait for his body to fully recover, rather than being forced to be carried to the meeting.

He looked extremely unhappy, not only because he was forced to attend the meeting, but also because he was ridiculed by the beast in his eyes before the meeting - yo, I heard that you were almost killed? !Hahaha~~~

These words made him so angry that he felt a pain in his liver. He didn't have a liver at this moment and only had a head. If he hadn't almost lost his fighting power, he would really want to dissect this beast, if he could.

In other words, Seireitei's losses this time can be described as extremely heavy.

The defection of the three Aizens not only stripped away the thousand-year authority of the Seireitei, but also the face of the Thirteenth Division. These false reputations were torn down and trampled on.

Practical aspects:

Central Room 46 was brutally slaughtered and all of them were slaughtered.

The defection of the three captains reduced the overall combat effectiveness of the [-]th Division.

The "map cannons" of Shadow Tide, Blood Sea, and Flame Wall caused extensive damage to Seireitei.

These cannot be recovered as quickly as those injured captains in a short period of time.

However, compared to these, Aizen's "declaration of war" when he defected, and the hidden plot behind it, are more urgent.

At this time, Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni was issuing orders to prepare for war.

"...

There is not much time left for you.

There are only 30 days left, so you must do your best to improve your combat power.

You are the worst class I have ever led in a thousand years.

During this period, I will 'guide' you well.

......"

In the fourth division team building.

After the team's first meeting, Hitsugaya Toshiro, along with Matsumoto Rangiku, came to convey the captain's will to Kurosaki Ichigo and others who were staying here.

Except for Moriah and Unohana Retsu, who were sitting on top, and the old god was still drinking tea, everyone else could not help but be attracted by the words from Hitsugaya's novice mouth.

“This upcoming war also has something to do with you.

Or to be more precise, it has something to do with the present world where you live, Karakura Town.

During their secret operations at the Seireitei, Aizen and the others visited the Great Soul Book Corridor in the underground council hall, and what they looked up was—Wang Jian's means of creation! "

Matsumoto Rangiku on the side couldn't help but ask, because her captain brought her here directly after the meeting, so she didn't know the latest news yet.

She was originally worried about Ichimaru Gin's defection, but she couldn't help but blurt out after hearing this.

"Wang Key?"

"Well, the King Key is a necessary item to enter the Soul King's Palace."

Kurosaki Ichigo wondered, "Spirit King Palace? Where is that place? What does this have to do with Karakura Town?"

Hitsugaya glanced at him and looked down at the teacup with tea rippling in his hand.

"If you want to enter the Spirit King's Palace, you need a King Key. And the King Key creation method requires one hundred thousand souls and a heavy spirit land that extends to a radius of one spirit."

Ishida Uryū's eyes couldn't help but shrink.

Gu Yan</span> "Kakazamachi is the place of heavy spirits you mentioned?!"

"Yes, you should be aware of it.

In Karakura Town, the city you live in, there are an unusually large number of highly spiritual humans, lingering souls and Hollows there.

Obviously, this land that is most likely to gather supernatural things and has spirituality is one of the unique points of Chongling Land.

The place of heavy spirituality will shift with the spiritual tide of the times.

And the place of heavy spirituality in this era is Karakura Town! "

Inoue Orihime raised her little hand and asked softly.

"What will happen to Karakura Town if the king is created?"

Hitsugaya finished the tea and put down the teacup in his hand.

"Everything in Karakura Town will disappear into smoke and become a 'hollow'!"

There were no words of life and death in the words, but they coldly expressed the existential crisis of the 10 human beings in Karakura Town.

Their relatives, friends, classmates, strangers, pets, everything is related to it, making them suffocated and breathless for a moment.

Inoue Orihime murmured.

"Too cruel……"

Chadota Taihu clenched his fists and said in a muffled voice, "They must be stopped!"

Kurosaki Ichigo and Ishida Uryu looked at each other and said directly.

"What do we need to do?"

However, Ichigo thought that Hitsugaya Toshiro came here to tell them because he needed them.

Hitsugaya Toshiro shook his head.

"Don't get me wrong, as the Seireitei who protects the balance of the three realms, we will hunt down and kill Aizen and others.

The reason why the captain asked me to come here to tell you is because of your mistake this time, and that...

In short, there is nothing you need to do.

It doesn't matter if you go back to the present world now, or if you don't want to go back and stay here and wait for the decisive battle to be clear in a month, then go back, it's up to you.

So, my notification task ends here.

See you later, fellow travellers."

After Hitsugaya Toshiro finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the door of the tea room.

As the captain of the Seireitei, he understands the captain's will very well.

The decisive battle with Aizen's Hueco Mundo forces is their duty as the guardians of the Three Realms.

As a human being who has always been protected, Seireitei does not think that their help is needed.

This is probably the pride and prejudice created by Gao Gao over millions of years.

According to Seireitei, the purpose of human existence in this world is only to balance the souls of the three realms. If there are too many, just cut them off manually.

Now, even after seeing the travel disaster that broke into the Seireitei, not only Kurosaki Ichigo fought with Zaraki Kenpachi, Inoue Orihime almost killed Niryuri, but also the first generation Kenpachi and the captain Confronting Moriah.

They still habitually uphold a condescending style——

The war with voids and spirits, let humans go away!

Just because Hitsugaya Toshiro understood, even if he believed that extra combat power was more important than face, he would never disobey the captain's will.

He opened the door of the tea room and found that Rangiku Matsumoto had not followed. He turned around and saw that his deputy was still sitting there carefree, and he couldn't help scolding him in a young adult tone.

"Matsumoto, it's time to go"
