Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

Chapter 274 Do you know the Seireitei Guard?

Ichigo abruptly stopped, his hair standing on end.

Behind that massive stone gate was not the empty space I had expected.

Before them was a hastily arriving, menacing Death Squad.

They were dressed in matching black Shinigami uniforms, and their Zanpakuto were already drawn, each gleaming with a chilling light.

The leader was a short, silver-haired boy.

He wore a white captain's haori, the cross on his back rustling in the wind.

Those emerald green eyes were coldly staring at Ichigo, as if he were looking at a dead man.

"Captain Hitsugaya!

Upon seeing the newcomer's face, Xiong Danfang instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

Toshiro Hitsugaya, the youngest captain in the history of the Gotei 13.

Although he looks like a child... that's entirely because his spiritual pressure is too strong, which restricts his development and masks his threatening nature.

His Zanpakuto, Hyōrinmaru, is said to be the strongest ice-type Zanpakuto, with unlimited potential.

Seeing such a truly powerful person, how could the Cursed Pill Workshop not be nervous?

Beside Toshiro, Ganju Shiba, riding a giant boar, was carrying a halberd and carefully examining the people in front of him.

"Haha! One...two...four traveler disasters in total! We're rich now!"

"This is..." Ishida Uryu's expression changed instantly: "This spiritual pressure... it's from the captain of the Gotei 13!"

"What bad luck, you wandering monsters."

Toshiro Hitsugaya slowly pulled out the Hyōrinmaru from his back, and the surrounding temperature plummeted at that moment.

"This is the western gate of Seireitei, and also the end of your journey."

"Squad 10, prepare for battle!"

"drink!!!"

Dozens of Death Gods roared in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.

Ichigo gripped Zangetsu tightly, a bead of cold sweat trickling down his forehead.

He could sense that the group of people in front of him were completely different from the rabble-like Grim Reapers he had encountered before.

These are the true elite, the regular army guarding the Soul Society.

"Hey! You with the orange hair!"

Shiba Ganju pointed at Ichigo from his vantage point, a wicked grin on his face: "So you're the one who defeated Jidanbo? You didn't look that impressive!"

"Who are you calling 'Orange Head'?!" Ichigo's temples bulged with veins as he roared back defiantly, "My name is Kurosaki Ichigo! I'm going in to save people!"

"I don't care if you're saving someone or sending them to their death!"

The grappling hook brandished its halberd, then suddenly clamped its grip on the boar's belly. Bonnie the boar roared and charged ahead of the column, carrying him. "How dare you act so arrogantly on my turf! You have no respect for me!"

"Men! Stop staring! Let's teach these unruly country bumpkins a lesson!"

"Charge!!!"

Although the rock vulture had already taken the lead... and was even giving orders without asking for permission...

But after all, he's only the seventh seat...

The members of the Tenth Division, who had been poised to attack, exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of what to do.

..superior."

In the end, Toshiro, with a grim face, reluctantly issued the supplementary order.

These Shinigami members, like tigers unleashed from their cages, brandished their Zanpakuto and charged towards Ichigo and the others, howling as they did so.

"Orange Head! Weren't you the one who broke the axe at the Cursed Pill Workshop just now?!"

The eagle roared, and its halberd danced in the wind.

His target was Ichigo Kurosaki, who was carrying Zangetsu and standing at the very front.

Ichigo remained silent and immediately held Zangetsu horizontally in front of his chest.

"Roar, Shattered Mountain—!!!"

The eagle's halberd emitted a yellowish-brown spiritual pressure wave as it slammed down on the Ikko-men wolf!

clang-!!!

The Moon Slash and the Halberd collided head-on, creating a visible ripple of spiritual pressure.

"That was incredibly powerful! It felt like a small mountain!" Ichigo exclaimed in surprise.

This is not much different from the Sidanfang we just had!

Although Ganju is the seventh seat, a large part of the reason he is the seventh seat is because the Shiba family is being pressured from above and not allowed to step up. Otherwise, with his talent, he would have been more than qualified to be the fourth seat.

The attack was so powerful that it shattered several of the floor tiles beneath Ichigo's feet, but Ganju used the recoil to flip over in mid-air.

Bonnie the wild boar landed on all fours, exhaling two plumes of white vapor.

"Hahaha! You're done after just one move?! You're way too weak!"

Ganju laughed, his halberd tip pointing directly at Ichigo's forehead: "Orange head! I, Shiba Ganju, will show you what a real head-scratcher is today!"

"Shut up!"

With a burst of energy from his waist, he sprang forward like lightning, and Zangetsu roared down!

boom!!

With a slash fueled by emotion, it once again clashed head-on with Yan's halberd.

"What?!"

This time, Yanjiu felt a numbness in his arm, and the halberd almost slipped from his hand.

"Wow...this is interesting!"

On the other hand, Uryu Ishida, Yasutora Chad, and Orihime Inoue are in an even more difficult situation.

They were surrounded by dozens of well-trained members of the 10th Division.

Moreover, these are not just small fry.

"Is this what they call a traveler's misfortune? It doesn't seem like much."

An official with a mustache stepped out from the crowd.

He is the fifth seat of the 10th Division, named Sasaki Genryu.

He slowly drew his Zanpakuto, and a murky, earthy-yellow light emanated from the blade.

"Get deep in, Tsuchigumo!"

As he murmured, the hard ground beneath Chad's feet suddenly became as soft as mud.

Before Chad could react, his feet were already halfway into the hole.

Moreover, the mud seemed to be alive, clinging tightly to his body and spreading upwards along his legs.

"Chad!" Orihime exclaimed, wanting to use her shield, Shun Rikka, to help him.

"Too slow, little girl."

On the other side, a slender female official suddenly appeared in Orihime's blind spot.

She is the sixth seat of the 10th Division, Takeuchi Mimi.

"Dance wildly, you two-faced demon!"

The Zanpakuto in her hand instantly split in two, slashing towards Orihime with a piercing shriek.

"A shield formed in three days! I refuse!"

Orihime reacted extremely quickly, and her orange light shield blocked the slash at the last second.

But the enormous impact still sent her sliding backward several meters, nearly causing her to fall.

"Damn it... such a large number of enemies..."

Ishida Uryu fired his spirit bow repeatedly. Although the blue light arrows accurately repelled several ordinary team members, the constant stream of death gods was rapidly depleting his spiritual power.

"A Quincy?!"

Moreover, his behavior caused the surrounding team members to turn pale.

After all, Quincy and Shinigami are mortal enemies, and this identity makes the members of the 10th Division even more determined.

Unlike his teammates who were engaged in fierce battle, Toshiro stood on a high ground, vigilantly surveying his surroundings.

"Are there only four people in total...?"

"

Despite his young age, he possessed a calmness and strategic vision far beyond that of ordinary people, and did not immediately join the fray.

In his view, these few travelers before him, though possessing some brute strength, especially the orange-haired boy who was able to defeat the Sidanfang...

But to think that these few people could break into Soul Court is far too frivolous.

"Is it a feint? Or bait?"

He quickly scanned every corner around the White Gate, trying to find the hidden ambush troops.

Finally, his gaze swept over the top of an abandoned watchtower.

He saw a black cat crouching there.
