One Piece: Burning the Prison Clothes in the Setting Sun, Mihawk is dumbfounded.

at the same time.

Aizen, who had already left, met up with Gin and Tosen before departing.

Looking at Aizen's expression, Gin's fake smile remained unchanged.

"Lord Aizen, what happened?"

Yin hadn't figured out how to start the conversation, so Tosen became his mouthpiece.

Of course, Tosen Kaname wasn't a curious person.

He only asked because he sensed that Aizen's emotions were a bit off.

The purpose, of course, was to relieve Aizen's burden.

"A tricky guy."

Aizen spoke up, and his words startled both Gin and Tosen.

"This sounds like something Captain Aizen didn't expect."

Yin smiled and said.

"This was indeed unexpected, so the plan has been changed."

change?

Upon hearing Aizen's words, a glint flashed in his narrowed eyes.

Is this person so powerful that he can force Aizen to make a change?

Having joined the group at a very young age, Gin is well aware of Aizen's strength and, of course, his deep schemes.

He also knew that Aizen's plan to control Hueco Mundo had been in place for a long time, and that he had been preparing for it all along.

Or rather, many of the things done before were preparations for taking control of Hueco Mundo.

As a result, the sudden appearance of this person caused Aizen to change his plans.

"I know you're curious, but this is a new power, and it's quite peculiar, seemingly at a very high level, making it worthy of study."

What made Aizen change his mind was not simply Dunn's immense strength.

It was also because of the new power emanating from the mighty Dunn.

Aizen's goal was to transcend the power of the Shinigami and become even stronger.

Now, a new force, one that might be helpful to this plan, is one he naturally won't give up on researching.

But Dunn was someone Dunn couldn't see through, and he also knew a thing or two about him.

Fortunately, the other party seemed curious about the power of death, and since there was a demand, there was a possibility of a transaction.

However, since the other party is currently in Hueco Mundo, if he were to carry out his plan to control Hueco Mundo now, a direct conflict would inevitably break out.

Let's go back and wait for the changes after the Hueco Mundo before formulating a response.

After all, we haven't gotten our hands on the core components yet, so it's not time to expose them.

Then, the three of them did not return to Las Noches, but instead left Hueco Mundo and returned to Soul Society.

After most of his subordinates were slaughtered, Barragan waited for Aizen and his companions to return at Las Noches, but they never showed up.

Then, his anger intensified.

He sensed Aizen's power and was furious at being shown such strength in front of him, but now that Aizen had suddenly disappeared without a trace, he was even more enraged.

In short, he's very angry right now.

……

Dunn looked at the three people standing in front of him.

Stark, looking like he'd gotten himself into trouble, later became the First Espada, a Hollow who voluntarily became an Arrancar.

Nilu, looking anxious, had transformed into a figure clad in white plate armor, with an antelope skull atop her head. She was looking down, unsure of where to look, and the petrification had been lifted from her body.

It appears to have broken through on its own, or perhaps not quite completely.

As for Haribel, she is quite different from Stark and Nel.

"First of all, I am not the Grim Reaper."

Looking at the three Hollows with their different expressions, Dunn raised his hand and spoke, then pointed behind them.

Three clumps of green vines sprouted from the ground, then twisted and solidified into three seats.

Upon seeing this, the three people sat down immediately.

"Very well, it seems you also want to hear what I have to say."

Dunn nodded.

"What about me? What about me?"

Seeing that all three of them had seats, Lilynette, who had been hiding behind Stark, poked her head out and hurriedly called out.

Seeing this, Dunn did not refuse, and another rattan chair appeared.

"I'm not the Grim Reaper, so I have no interest in killing you."

Dunn spoke again.

"What are you planning to do then?"

Nilu looked up and asked in a low voice.

This was clearly what Stark and Halibel wanted to know, and they both looked at Dunn.

"Good question, I don't know either."

Dunn the Bear shrugs.

He then pointed to the deck beneath his feet.

"As you can see, my ship is aground."

The ship ran aground?

It's a really rare word in Hueco Mundo.

The three of them were all complaining like crazy.

"So, I'll stay here for a while, and then decide what to do next."

"And what about before?"

Harribel looked at Dunn and spoke in a deep voice.

"Those guys came over on their own. I can't just let them kill me without fighting back, can I?"

Dunn answered upon hearing this.

"I think even if you don't fight back, they can't kill you."

Stark couldn't help but complain out loud.

Upon hearing this, Dunn looked at him.

"Would you allow a whole bunch of little mice—oh, you probably don't even know what little mice are—to jump around in front of you?"

"Of course not."

Helibel responded instinctively upon hearing this.

Compared to Nel and Stark, Halibel is considered to have evolved normally from a virtual.

Perhaps the killing decreased after evolving to this level, but before that, she and several of her companions often fought against other Hollows.

This is the rule of Hueco Mundo, and even those with personalities like Stark and Nel cannot avoid it.

"So, we're actually the same as those guys."

Stark raised his hand to cover his face, and said in a pained voice.

"Well, if you hadn't come, I wouldn't have gone looking for you either, well, maybe not..."

Dunn thought for a moment, then shook his head.

After all, these were the only guys he remembered here, including the three, well, four in front of him.

Therefore, there is a good chance that they will actively send other people to search for them later.

"So after that, work for me. When I leave here, you can go back to your old lives and do whatever you used to do. But while I am here, you must obey my orders."

Don't worry, I'm not a devil, and I won't make things too tiring for you.

"Do we have the option to refuse?"

Stark started to talk nonsense.

"Now, Las Noches will help me take it down. As for Barragan, defeat him and bring him to me."

Dunn didn't answer, but instead gave Stark a task.

"Oh? That guy is not someone to mess with."

Stark looked dejected when he heard Dunn tell him to go and cause trouble for Barragán.

"But they're no match for you, and you have allies, don't you?"

Dunn pointed to Nil and Halibel.

"She should be more than willing to help you."

Dunn pointed at Halibel and said.

Hribel remained silent.

To be honest, she was very willing, because not long ago, she and several of her friends had fought with Barragan's men and suffered a great loss.

So, go do it.

Dunn waved his hand as he spoke, and footsteps sounded.

Robin walked over carrying a tray.

"How is it?"

Dunn asked.

"Hmm, things are not bad. It seems the environment here is indeed somewhat special; the food looks to be spoiling much more slowly."

As Robin spoke, he carried the plate to the three of them.
