Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 235 Unraveled
"what?"

"That idiot teleported our entire base away? What kind of thing is that?!"

At the former site of the Masked Army base, the other six members had all returned. Upon hearing the accounts of Kensei Rokusha and Hachigen Ushōda, Hiyori jumped up and cursed.

Hirako Shinji squatted on the ground with a solemn expression, examining the broken part of Rokusha Kensei's Zanpakuto, and said, "Over the past few hundred years, I have heard of examples of Zanpakuto breaking when clashing with others due to differences in spiritual pressure, but I have never heard of anyone being able to break a Zanpakuto with their bare hands."

"That guy... is ridiculously strong."

Kensei Muguruma still felt a tingling sensation all over his body. He shook his head and said, "Hachigen and I were careless, but... even if we had intangibly transformed the moment we saw him, we would probably still be far from being his match. This is completely different from the information in the intelligence report. There is another thing that is bothering me. I didn't feel his spiritual pressure at all throughout the whole process."

"Can't you sense any spiritual pressure?" Shinji Hirako frowned. "It's probably some kind of special hidden technique. It's unbelievable that someone who could only hold his own against Hiyori three years ago has become this strong now."

"Hey! You idiot, what do you mean?!"

Hirako ignored Hiyori and continued, "It seems there's some truth to why Soul Society ranked that guy ahead of Aizen and Yhwach... The more crucial question now is, why did he teleport away from our base?"

The group exchanged glances, their eyes all seemingly lost in thought.

The answer is actually very simple.

Apart from the high concentration of spiritual particles, there was nothing special about their base, so it wasn't worth making a big fuss about 'stealing' it. To say that it was revenge for the battle with Hiyori three years ago would be too naive.

There's only one possibility left.

"Does that Quincy founder have some kind of voyeuristic tendencies? First he lurked in Seireitei to spy on us, and then he hid in our base to spy on us?!"

"Tch, damn it..."

"Has Kisuke arrived yet? Where will that human teleport Yhwach to?"

Not far from here, Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi were rushing over after receiving the news.

Just then, Kisuke Urahara's Shinigami communicator suddenly beeped, prompting him to take it out and check it while using Shunpo.

"what?"

"What's wrong, Kisuke?" Yoruichi asked, noticing Kisuke's confused expression.

“Nothing much…” Kisuke Urahara said with a frown, “There’s some strange news. The West Frontier Bureau has contacted the Seireitei and said that there’s a big problem in the territories they’re in charge of.”

Just a week ago, over 6,000 tons of gold disappeared from the world's largest gold vault, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, with speculation suggesting intervention from a supernatural force. This information is currently under strict secrecy, and the Western Bureau has inquired with Seireitei about any suspected targets, requesting our assistance in the investigation.

"The largest vault has been robbed?" Having lived in the human world for a long time, Yoruichi understood how big this matter was. Once it was exposed, it would probably be the headline news all over the world for a long time!

The Western Frontier Bureau was truly desperate, even going so far as to approach the Seireitei, but...

"This has nothing to do with us, right?"

Kisuke Urahara shook his head slightly: "It should be fine... Whether it's Aizen, Yhwach, or Guan Yi-san, they wouldn't stole gold."

……

In Hueco Mundo, amidst the desolate desert, a towering abandoned warehouse stands out conspicuously.

Guan Yi stood in the warehouse. The massive Eight Gates Formation that had enveloped the warehouse had been deactivated, and the Zanpakuto stuck in the ground was now held diagonally in his hand. His gaze was fixed on the four people who had appeared opposite him. These were now Yhwach's only remaining powerful forces—four Quincy!
Directly opposite him, Jaskin Nakruvar, a tall, strong, and languid member of Yhwach's personal guard, led the way.

His hands were in his pockets, his dark skin gleamed metallically in the moonlight, his short white hair stood on end, and his cross-shaped pupils reflected Guan Yi's figure with a hint of amusement.

"Hueco Mundo? Just a second ago I was worried you'd teleport us to Seireitei and let us experience the taste of Yamamoto Genryusai's flames again."

To his left and right, diagonally behind, stood Littja Barrow, captain of Yhwach's SS, and Penida Pakaja, a member of the SS.

One of them had pulled his hat brim down very low to obscure his facial expression, while the other was simply a figure bound by chains with only his strangely shaped head showing, both of them peering to the left and right.

A distance away from them, Hasward, with his handsome face and meticulously combed blond hair, stared calmly at Guan Yi with emotionless heterochromatic eyes.

"There was no one else, only himself."

As Hassward spoke, Lizzie Barrow looked up: "So... what kind of special trick is this, a clone?"

The Quincy were indeed very professional in their intelligence gathering, and they even knew that Guan Yi possessed the ability to create clones.

Looking at Guan Yi standing in front of him, Li Jie Barrow did not believe that this was Guan Yi's true form.

But it doesn't matter. Whether it's some kind of conspiracy or just a phantom to play tricks on us, when this guy appears before us and His Majesty declares that he will eliminate him at all costs, his fate is already sealed.

"Hasward, are you done?"

The reason they didn't act against Guan Yi immediately was because they were waiting for Hasward to unleash his power—World Harmony.

It can forcibly transform an opponent's luck, attack accuracy, and defense success into misfortune. When the World Harmony is activated, they will shatter Guan Yi's clones. Even if Guan Yi's original body wouldn't normally react, it will definitely create a disturbance that exposes the original body!
His response was a slightly trembling voice from Hasward: "I failed."

It failed? What does "failed" mean?
The three guards were puzzled, but Haschward continued, "What we are facing is the real body, but I cannot affect the scales of fortune on him."

"what?"

"How is this possible?!"

Even Yhwach isn't immune to Haschward's abilities, so how could they be ineffective against a human?!

But... is it the real body? Then let's be even more direct! With surprise and doubt still lingering in his mind, Lijie Barrow took action.

A massive spirit gun barrel suddenly appeared in his hand. He aimed at Guan Yi, and then a thin golden beam shot straight through!
This is the ability that Lijie Barrow possesses: the ability to connect with everything. The light he emits can absolutely penetrate everything between him and his target, making it an attack that is absolutely undefendable based on the level of cause and effect.

When Guan Yi swung his Zanpakuto in front of the golden light, Rijie Barrow seemed to have already seen Guan Yi's fate of being pierced through. However, in the next instant, his beam of light was actually cut in two by Guan Yi's sword, piercing through and disappearing in both directions!
A look of shock appeared on his face. At this moment, Lizzie Barrow understood what Hasward meant by 'failure,' but he could not understand the current situation.

Jaskin blurted out, "He pierced and severed everything?! What is he?!"

If it can be resolved, the source and flow of Qi can also be resolved.

Guan Yixin murmured.

So this battle, this one without any design, a pure head-on confrontation, to kick Yhwach out of the final round before he recovers his full strength—can go on!

　This battle is a bit difficult to write, so I'll keep it short, just to ensure I get all the credits...
