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

The Seireitei was in complete chaos.

The barrier that originally enveloped Seireitei was completely destroyed by this attack.

"Tsk, you went a bit too far."

Seeing this, Dunn clicked his tongue and looked at the captain who had landed and stood firmly.

"I forgot that things aren't very stable here either, but it should be fine, it will be restarted eventually."

However, the captain clearly didn't want to hear what Dunn had to say at this moment.

call!

The captain, dressed in a flame-patterned cloak, instantly appeared in front of Dunn, drew his Blazing Blade to his side, and then slashed horizontally at Dunn.

Before the blade, space shattered into pieces and then recovered at an extremely fast speed.

Snapped!

A soft sound.

The previous thrust had knocked Dunn out of Seireitei, but this strike was even stronger, yet a hand caught the blade as it was slashing horizontally.

Holding the scorching hot, remnant-fire katana, Dunn looked at the Captain-Commander's face, which had been altered by anger and spiritual pressure.

His white beard and eyebrows danced wildly under the impact of spiritual pressure.

However, although it was unexpected that the blade was gripped, the Captain-Commander did not hesitate for a moment. He immediately released the hilt with his right hand, and then his fist, which was wrapped with a massive amount of spiritual pressure, struck Dunn in the chest.

After a loud bang, Dunn didn't even flinch.

Swish swish!

Just then, a dozen or so figures appeared nearby.

Not only were all the captains present, but even the members of the Zero Division were there.

Seeing this, Dunn loosened his grip on the blade, smiled, raised his hand, and took two steps back.

The captain, who had failed to achieve anything with a single strike and punch, did not pursue, but instead watched Dunn smiling and raising his hands as he retreated.

"Alright, that's enough for today. If you want revenge or to eliminate the threat, go to the real world. I'll be going there later."

Dunn spoke as he backed away, his eyes sweeping over the other captains.

"After all, that's the battlefield; you still have time to prepare."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dunn retreated into the green portal that appeared behind him, and his figure disappeared completely.

"Captain."

After Dunn disappeared and the flames on the Captain-Commander dissipated, the other captains came to his side.

"Go and prepare. The upcoming battle will not be easy; we must go all out."

The captain didn't wait for the other captains to say anything and gave the order directly.

"This person..."

Soi Fon looked at the Captain-Commander, still somewhat incredulous.

Even the commander-in-chief can't be taken down?

"Very strong, stronger than me."

The captain didn't hide this fact; any carelessness in dealing with this person could cost you your life.

When it comes to him, it's never too much to take him seriously.

The other captains' expressions changed upon hearing this.

Upon hearing the Captain-Commander's words, Kuchiki Byakuya stepped forward.

"I hope you can allow me to enter Hueco Mundo first."

"Is it because of Aizen?"

The Captain-Commander merely glanced around; Aizen wasn't there, and Byakuya Kuchiki's expression spoke volumes.

"He kidnapped Captain Kuchiki's sister."

Kyoraku Shunsui explained the situation to his teacher.

"Is this his goal?"

Upon hearing this, the captain frowned, then looked at Shutara Senjumaru not far away.

"It seems to be related to him."

Previously, the investigation into the Soul Reaper's Hollowfication and disappearance had yielded few leads.

But the current situation is likely related to Aizen; he might even be the mastermind behind it all.

"You're not going to be of much use by acting alone."

After hearing Senjumaru's words, the Captain-Commander thought for a moment and shook his head to refuse Kuchiki Byakuya, but his eyes swept over the other captains.

"But we need to gather intelligence beforehand. Since that person just said he was going to the human world, let's work together. One team will investigate Hueco Mundo, and the other team will go to the human world to make preparations."

"Yes."

These people also know that now is not the time to dwell on other things.

"That person might leave Hueco Mundo later. This is a time gap. When we go to Hueco Mundo to investigate, we can see if there is an opportunity to take action and bring Aizen back."

"clear!"

……

A dotted circle.

When Dunn returned to the Great Forest, Aizen, Rukia Kuchiki, and the other two were surrounded by a group of Hollows.

Although no physical altercation took place, the atmosphere was clearly tense.

However, Aizen's expression didn't change much.

Robin and the other two were clearly waiting for Dunn to return.

The three of them visibly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Dunn return.

"Is everything alright?"

Robin's question.

"What could possibly happen to me? I just overestimated this place."

Dunn thought for a moment, then shook his head helplessly.

"So when I made that move before, I subconsciously used a bit more force, and this time the enmity has become quite deep."

Dunn shrugged.

Aizen, who was not far away, had a change of expression and looked up at Dunn.

"The Seireitei has been destroyed?"

He asked.

"No, I realized it as soon as I made the move, so I held back a bit."

"I'm really curious now, what exactly did all those things you mentioned before represent?"

Aizen walked up to Dunn under the watchful eyes of the Hollows.

"What does it mean that this world is an illusion?"

"Didn't you already guess?"

Dunn smiled when he heard the question.

"Maybe your wish is just something someone wants you to have."

Dunn's words were a bit convoluted, but Aizen understood them.

"So, you can give it a try, but I don't think you'll have enough time."

As Dunn spoke, he raised his hand and patted Aizen on the shoulder.

"So, what are you planning to do? Will what you do affect the whole world?"

When Aizen heard Dunn say that there wasn't enough time, he already had a guess.

"Perhaps, of course, it's also possible that I'm wrong, and the truth of this world isn't what I think it is."

Even someone as brilliant as Aizen couldn't figure out how to stop it.

Besides, he didn't really want to stop it, even though all of this might make everything he had done before seem pointless.

He also wanted to see how the world would develop.

After all, what is happening now may never have happened before in the entire history of the Soul Society.

"It's related to the Spirit King; it's all because of him?"

Aizen thought for a moment and asked again.

"Don't ask me, I don't know either. After all, all I know are people like you."

Dunn genuinely didn't know; he just had this feeling, coupled with the fact that the world was ridiculously fragile.

Before coming to this world, he thought that the power ceiling of the Grim Reaper world might exceed that of the One Piece world.

But in reality, it's not like that at all. Moreover, this world itself is extremely fragile, even more fragile than the world of pirates.

It was because of this that Dunn had his suspicions.

If that's the case, then the connection with the One Piece world might not be a coincidence.

However, the gateway between the two worlds was concealed for some reason.

If this is true, then it means that he can find a stable passage between the two worlds.

You can go back whenever you want.
