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

"Lord Aizen, are you really going to do this?"

Aizen was staring at the Hogyoku floating above his palm when Tosen Kaname suddenly spoke up, his voice full of worry.

"It doesn't give you power directly, but it fulfills your desires."

Aizen answered, but his gaze did not leave the Hogyoku in front of him.

Dunn was right; the girl's power really could help the Hogyoku fuse quickly.

Or rather, the girl's power was somewhat similar to that of the Hogyoku.

But now that I have the goods, I don't need to think about anything else.

The goal was about to be achieved, but Aizen was acting strangely.

He can't be happy right now.

"Send them both to the present world."

Aizen turned and left, leaving behind these words before departing.

Tosen was taken aback, then realized that Aizen was referring to Kuchiki Rukia and Inoue Orihime.

Turning around and walking out of the palace deep within the Void Palace, Tosen Kaname paused in his steps.

An unexpected Arrancar appeared here.

"You actually dared to come back? Aren't you worried that person will cause you trouble?"

Barragan, the former King of Hueco Mundo.

He went to the human world with the other Arrancars, but now he's actually back.

"That's not what you need to worry about. What I want to know is, what exactly does that person want to do? Is it to destroy the world?"

Barragan is currently in his Arrancar form, and his facial expression is quite obvious.

"So it was because he was afraid of dying."

Dongxian suddenly realized and said this. As soon as he said this, Bailergang's face darkened, and he was obviously very unhappy.

That's true, but you don't need to say it to their face.

Don't I have any pride?

"I don't know anything about that. If you want the answer, just ask that person directly."

"I want to see Aizen."

Barragan naturally didn't dare to ask Dunn directly; he had come to find Aizen.

Aizen seems to know more.

"Lord Aizen is not seeing outsiders right now. If you want to see Lord Aizen, please wait here."

After finishing speaking, Tosen walked right past Barragan.

He still had to do what Lord Aizen had asked him to do.

Upon hearing this, Barragán's face darkened.

"Heh, the master said we can return at will, but that doesn't mean you're allowed to betray him."

As Dongxian was about to leave, Bailergang's expression was uncertain, unsure whether to barge in directly, when a cold voice rang out.

Barragán suddenly turned around and looked up, and saw a tall, slender figure standing not far away, silently watching him.

"Ulquiorra, I had no idea you would be so loyal to that person."

When Barragán saw the people who appeared, his heart sank.

There was absolutely no news about this guy in Hueco Mundo before; he seemed to have suddenly appeared, but his strength should not be underestimated.

Although he didn't talk much, Barragán was very wary of him.

I only admire the strong.

Xiao Wu's expression didn't change much upon hearing this; his eyes remained indifferent as he looked at Bailergang.

"So what are you doing here? If you're following his orders, you should fight to the death with Death in this world."

Barragán then changed the subject, clearly trying to put Ulquiorra down.

"I just received other instructions."

As he spoke, he moved closer to Barragan, whose body tensed up.

"That lord won't care what you do."

"Hmph, if the world really ends, you'll inevitably die too."

Barragán saw Ulquiorra walk past him and stand at the entrance of the palace behind him, but not go in, and sneered mockingly.

"The weak should obediently follow the rules set by the strong; isn't that the principle we believe in here?"

Upon hearing his words, Xiao Wu turned to look at Bailergang.

"No matter what you want to do, you can't change the future."

You'll regret it.

After saying this, Barragán turned and walked away quickly, his back view showing that he looked somewhat disheveled.

After watching him leave, Ulquiorra's expression remained unchanged; he simply stood there quietly.

Outside the virtual circle, a large number of broken planes are gathered.

However, these were all Arrancar created by Aizen after he returned from the human world, using the Hogyoku in his possession.

They are powerful, but there is a clear difference between them and the previous batch of Arrancar.

These Arrancars are gathered here, seemingly awaiting Aizen's orders.

Dunn, who was in the great forest, also received news of this situation, but did not pay any attention to it.

"It seems he really has other ideas. What you did before has caused you trouble."

Robin chuckled and teased.

"It's not an easy trip, so it's good to have some fun. Besides, he's not entirely useless."

Dunn didn't care about Robin's teasing and waved his hand dismissively.

"According to you, his power after fusing with the Hogyoku is terrifying. Are you sure you can win?"

Robin was curious.

In her view, although the power of this world is different from that of the original world, the upper limit of its power is not low.

Now a guy has appeared who has broken through the limits of the Grim Reaper's power. Who knows how strong he is?

"Don't you have confidence in me?"

Dunn raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

"I have."

Hancock interrupted, her eyes fixed on Dunn.

"Lord Dunn has never lost."

"Uh-huh."

The maid nodded in agreement.

Robin shook her head speechlessly. No matter what Dunn said, these two just echoed him.

"In the end, even if he breaks through the limit, he is still within this world, and he will not gain power that transcends this world."

Dunn raised his hand and pinched Robin's face.

"What I'm worried about is, after things in the present world are over, will these people still exist, or will they disappear and enter a cycle? As for those Arrancar..."

Dunn paused for a moment and pointed around.

"We can keep a portion of it here; it shouldn't enter the loop along with the others."

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Robin nodded in agreement.

After Dunn explained the situation of this world to her, Robin's perception of it also became somewhat strange.

She felt something was off about the life forms in this world, even after the conclusion of the cycle emerged.

"Aizen should be almost done with it, so I should get going. You guys wait here, and you should be able to go back and check on things soon."

As Dunn spoke, he stood up, straightened his clothes, and looked at the three women.

"As for the rest, we'll talk about it when I get back."

After saying that, Dunn took a step forward, and his figure turned into flames and disappeared.

"The power of adults is becoming increasingly elusive, to the point of being incomprehensible."

The maid sighed.

"That's just how it is. After all, he's different from us, or rather, different from everyone else. He's someone from outside the world."

Robin nodded in agreement.

She couldn't see exactly how powerful Dunn had become.
