Chapter 701: Prologue Before the Decisive Battle
“An incomplete Hogyoku can only help me reach a power stronger than my eternal realm but lower than the Soul King’s power… I need the complete Hogyoku.”
Roja muttered in his heart before raising his and looking at Aizen.
He smiled.
Under the astonished gaze of Aizen, and the puzzled gazes of the others, Roja gently raised his hand and threw the incomplete Hogyoku toward Aizen.
Aizen couldn’t understand the reason for Roja’s action, but he still caught the Hogyoku.
“I gave it to you, don’t disappoint me.”
Roja looked at Aizen with a smile, and the latter gave Roja a deep look.
Although he didn’t know why Roja did this, maybe because he felt that he was invincible and wanted to have someone that can give him a fight, Aizen didn’t care.
The most important thing now is that he had the Hogyoku in his hands.
“Since it’s like this, then I look forward to our next meeting.”
Aizen took the Hogyoku with a smile. Three beams of light shot down from the sky, enveloping Aizen, Tosen, and Gin, making them fly up into the sky.
The Captains and Vice-captains wanted to stop Aizen, but Yamamoto stopped them and shook his head. The Negación can’t be broken.
“Since this matter has ended, I should leave as well.”
After seeing Aizen leave, Roja turned around to look at the captains with a smile, then took a step forward and vanished.
…
Soul king Palace.
The Zero Squad members already knew about Roja’s actions in the Court of the Pure Souls, but they didn’t comment.
The six members were almost equal in authority, and no one had any right to order the other.
Hyosube is the only special one amongst them since he is the captain of the Zero Squad, but even if he were to say anything to Roja, the latter wouldn’t care.
As for the soul king, he seemed half dead. Maybe he was dead long ago.
Roja rested ten days in the soul king’s palace before returning to the Human world again.
He went to Karakura town but didn’t go to school like before. Instead, he went to the part and waited for Aizen to fuse perfectly with the Hogyoku and launch his attack on soul society.
…
After several days, Roja was still in the park holding a fishing rod and standing beside a pond with eyes shut.
“Arrogant, but you will pay the price for that… Are you that confident?”
Yoruichi stood beside Roja, looking at him fishing leisurely as if there was no danger at all.
She didn’t want to be with Roja because she suffered so much before. She cannot fight him, and if she tried to sexually harass Roja, she would be on the receiving end of it.
“I didn’t think you can find me. My spiritual pressure shouldn’t be traceable; it must be something Urahara came up with to monitor the entire Karakura town.”
Roja continued to sit down without even lifting his head and said: “Well, don’t disturb my fishing.”
“What do you mean fishing!”
Yoruichi was annoyed because Roja gave Aizen the Hogyoku. Even Urahara can’t predict the power the complete Hogyoku can’t give. Now only Roja had a chance to stop Aizen.
“Fishing is Fishing. Can’t I catch a few fishes to feed the cat?”
Roja glanced at Yoruichi.
“…”
Yoruichi’s mouth twitched as she took a deep breath to control herself. Then she turned around and left step by step.
Roja curled his lips and closed his eyes as he went back to his fishing.
Urahara Shop!
Yoruichi hurried back and looked at Urahara, who was sitting and thinking. She shook her head and said: “It’s useless. He doesn’t know the seriousness of the problem at all. The power of the Hogyoku far exceeds what we originally expected. Aizen…”
“Not, it’s not that he doesn’t know. He just has his plans.”
Urahara shook his head as he interrupted Yoruichi: “In any case, we can’t regard him as someone from our side. We need to make other plans if he didn’t deal with Aizen himself.
Several people nodded. If Ichigo was here, he would be startled, because other than the people he usually finds in the shop, his father was here, and Ishida’s father as well.
They were five people with captain level strength, and if you count Hirako Shinji and the Visord, then the power in the human world is comparable to the Gotei 13.
But at this time, Shinigami from the Gotei 13 were sent to the human world as a guard. The same events proceeded as the original plot.
In the night, a ghastly figure appeared along with others that followed after him.
“Are you all here?”
The first person was the sixth Espada, Grimmjow.
In the previous fight with Roja, he was severely wounded, and Las Noches was almost completely destroyed.
Afterward, Aizen cured them all. And like in the original plot, he was extremely dissatisfied with Ulquiorra’s suggestion about not killing Kurosaki Ichigo, which is why he was leading some Espada with him to attack and kill Ichigo.
As soon as the group of Hollow started attacking, Hitsugaya, along with the other Shinigami stationed in the human world, opened their eyes.
“This Spiritual pressure… Hollow!!”
