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

For the first time since coming into this world, I am truly unleashing my power without reservation.

This force is too great and needs time to be released.

But even the initial release was already too much for the opponent to handle.

"Sun Blade."

Braving the unparalleled heat, the captain approached Dunn.

His fiery power had been completely concentrated into the knife in his hand.

But before the blade, imbued with the power of extremely compressed flames, even got close to Dunn, it had already begun to disappear from the tip.

It completely vaporized and disappeared inch by inch.

But the captain did not loosen his grip on the hilt of the sword; more fiery spiritual energy gathered towards the sword in his hand.

"Whoosh!"

Just as Dunn's gaze turned to the captain, a figure silently appeared behind him, followed by a sharp glint of light piercing towards Dunn's back.

But the result was not much different.

If I had to point out a difference, it would be that the figure that appeared behind Dunn vaporized much faster.

The only thing that was a little slower was that finger-blade-like weapon, but it only lasted for a fraction of a second longer.

Soi Fon, who had been blessed with numerous protective demonic arts, has disappeared.

But with Soi Fon gone, no one else had time to mourn.

All the captains unleashed their Bankai simultaneously, causing various rule-based powers and a large amount of mobilized spiritual energy to collide.

"There's not much of a chance left."

It was a huge commotion, and it looked incredibly powerful; it would definitely have an impact on Dunn.

But Aizen, who had just emerged from his cocoon, stared at Dunn and said in a low voice.

There seemed to be a hint of helplessness in his tone.

This feeling of powerlessness had never crossed his mind before.

And now, a real sense of powerlessness lingers in my heart.

Upon hearing Aizen's words, Dunn's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Aizen.

"The result has always been the same. I don't even know how strong I am right now."

As Dunn spoke, he raised his left hand.

The hand had completely transformed into golden flames.

Nothing around him could get any closer to him.

boom!

Just as Dunn's gaze fell upon his hand, a muffled thud was followed by a violent explosion.

The surrounding space was completely destroyed in the explosion.

Space shattered into pieces, rapidly spreading into the distance.

The Karakura Town that was created was completely destroyed in the blink of an eye.

Along with the original Karakura Town, everything was swept up in the turbulent currents created by the shattering of space.

The sound disappeared.

The Captain-Commander and the other Grim Reapers were completely wiped out in the massive explosion.

A tangible spiritual pressure emanated from Aizen's body, resisting the shattered space.

Dunn, however, was unaffected.

The shattered space was pure darkness, and Dunn himself became the sun within that pure darkness.

Golden light shone from his body.

But the size of the shattered space was unknown, and even the sun-like light emanating from Dunn could not extinguish the darkness.

"Is this what you wanted?"

A voice rang in Dunn's ear.

Dunn looked at Aizen. Although there was no sound in the dark space after it was shattered, it was clear that spiritual power could still be used.

This means that this place is still the world of death.

"Not thorough enough."

Upon hearing this, Dunn shook his head and then turned to look in one direction.

He was looking in complete darkness, but his spatial awareness allowed him to sense that the space he had created earlier was in that direction.

"Now you have two choices."

Dunn turned his gaze to Aizen, his lips moved, and his voice exploded in Aizen's mind.

"choose?"

Aizen tightened his grip on the sword.

"What's broken now is the mortal world, as well as Hueco Mundo and Soul Society. After I finish doing all this, this world may be destroyed, or it may restart and enter a cycle. But you can choose to be destroyed or enter the cycle yourself."

"There is no difference."

After receiving Dunn's message, Aizen raised his hand and placed it on his chest.

"I can feel that my power is far from reaching its limit. I need an even stronger desire, and right now, only you can help me."

After Aizen finished speaking, he pressed one hand to his chest and pointed his sword at Dunn with the other.

"Oh."

Upon seeing this, Dunn's expression shifted slightly, and he moved closer to Aizen.

It looks slow, but to Aizen, it's teleportation.

Dunn grabbed Aizen by the throat and dragged him away in the direction behind him.

Space is fragmented a second time.

After passing through this shattered space, a scene very familiar to Aizen came into view.

"Crescent Moon in the Sky".

Upon arriving, a loud shout was followed by a slash formed by compressed spiritual pressure flying towards Dunn.

Dunn raised his hand and moved Aizen in a different direction.

boom!

The slash shattered upon hitting Aizen.

Ichigo, who had just unleashed that strike, stared in utter disbelief.

Aizen grabbed Dunn's wrist with his left hand, and Dunn's hand rapidly carbonized, then regenerated, and then carbonized again.

The same goes for his neck.

The power of the Hogyoku greatly enhanced Aizen's abilities.

But now, this power is being used to fight against the flames in Dunn's hands.

"What is the state of the world now?"

Ichigo stared intently at Dunn.

This was the first time he had seen Dunn, but he already understood that this was the formidable enemy everyone had talked about before.

At that moment, the Grim Reapers' greatest enemy appeared before him.

But those Grim Reapers disappeared.

"It seems you never take my words seriously."

Dunn turned his head to look at Ichigo, his gaze finally settling on the black cat beside Ichigo.

"Hell might be the only place where you could possibly survive, but since you've given up..."

Dunn released his grip, and Aizen retreated swiftly.

But the places affected by Dunn's power are already cycling between carbonization and rebirth.

"Are they all dead?"

With a leap, the black cat transformed into a young girl.

Yoruichi was in no mood for jokes at this moment; her expression was extremely serious, and her hands were clenched tightly.

Ichigo noticed Yoruichi's tone and turned to look at her.

"Yes, they should all have turned into spirit particles and returned to this world. Isn't that how it is after you Shinigami die? Even someone like your Captain-Commander, whose spiritual power is too strong, has the same fate."

"Ichigo, you have to go!"

Yoruichi raised her hand and patted Ichigo on the shoulder.

"The Night Elf Boss..."

Ichigo instinctively wanted to speak upon hearing this.

"You also have two younger sisters."

Yoruichi's reminder caused Ichigo's expression to stiffen, his face filled with conflict.

"It's pointless for you to say these things now, haven't you realized that?"

Aizen appeared beside Ichigo and spoke up to remind him.

"He never intended to let you go... no, he never intended to let this world go."

"Indigo dyeing".

Yoru instinctively stepped in front of Ichigo to protect him.

But Aizen only gave a brief reminder, and then he turned to Dunn.

"Do you also have a perverse pleasure in watching others struggle to survive but fail to achieve it?"
